Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Biodiesel Production from Spent Palm Cooking Oil Using Fractional Factorial Design Combined with the Response Surface MethodologyS.M. Zakir Hossain, Nahid Sultana, Muhammad Faisal Irfan et al.Fractional Factorial Design (FFD) of the experiments combined with the response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum conditions for the production of biodiesel from Used Cooking Oil (UCO) in a batch reactor. Spent palm olein cooking oil was used as a raw material for biodiesel production as it is commonly used in most of the restaurants in Bahrain. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 22 Nov 2016 · 8,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamics, Non-Linear Isotherms, Statistical Modeling and Optimization of Phosphorus Adsorption from WastewaterAkinpelu Kamoru BabayemiPalm Kernel Shell (PKN), an eco-friendly biomass, was carbonized and activated for the removal of phosphorus from wastewater through batch adsorption process. The studies evaluate the effects of pH, particle size, dosage and contact time on the adsorption capacity of the prepared adsorbent. The equilibrium concentration data and the amount of adsorption were described using non-linear regression analysis of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2016 · 7,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Methylene Blue Dye Adsorption from Polluted Water Using Oleander Plant (Al Defla) Tissues as SorbentRajab Abu-El-Halawa, Sami A. Zabin, Hamzah H. Abu-SittahThe main purpose of this research was to investigate the ability of Oleander plant (Al Defla) tissues to adsorb Methylene Blue (MB) dye from polluted water. The experiments were carried out through batch-adsorption technique to investigate the influence of the following experimental parameters on adsorption process namely, adsorbent quantity, MB initial concentration, adsorbent particles size, ionic strength, pH and temperature. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 Jun 2016 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Properties of a Dispersant Used for Extracting Oil with High Gas-Oil RatioVladimir Verbitsky, Aleksey Dengaev, Oleg Zubkov, Dmitry KoshkinThe article presents the bench test results for a dispersant manufactured by Izhnefteplast Company, which specializes in batch production of unique submersible pumping equipment for oil extraction. The submersible equipment is unique in that the working elements of the pumping equipment are made of polymeric materials unlike the conventional concept of pumping machinery for oil production. The relevance of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 24 Feb 2016 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of a Combined Approach for the Treatment of Carbide Slurry and Capture of CO2Shereen Hasan, Muftah H. El-NaasThe aim of this study is to evaluate the potential use of electrocoagulation in the treatment of carbide slurry, a wastewater generated during the production of acetylene, and in the capture of carbon dioxide. An electrochemical batch reactor was used to carry out several experiments at different current densities, ranging between 140-290 A/m2. Pure air and a mixture of 10% … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2015 · 7,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Copper from Aqueous Solution using Tunisian ClayN. Boujelben, S. Gharab, F. Bouhamed et al.Natural adsorbents such as clay was used to replace expensive imported synthetic adsorbents. In this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to characterize the used sorbent (clays C). Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of contact time, solution pH and temperature on copper removal onto used sorbent from aqueous solution. Equilibrium … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2015 · 7,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndustrial Waste-an Economical Approach for Adsorption of Heavy Metals from Ground WaterMargherita Pettinato, Debolina Mukherjee, Silvestro Andreoli et al.A by product from steel industry mainly known as blast furnace slag is a waste product which was tested for the removal of As(III), from ground water. Steel slag is a commercial waste material mainly consisting of SiO2, Al2O3 and CaO, the former two chemicals being major components of zeolites and the latter a major component of Hydroxyapatite (HAP). Arsenic … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2015 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynchrotron Powder Diffraction Study of Radiation Damage in Langmuir Blodgett Nanotemplate Crystallised ProteinJonathan P. Wright, Eugenia Pechkova, Claudio NicoliniPolycrystalline samples of lysozyme were prepared with and without a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin film template via both the hanging drop method and batch crystallisation. Powder diffraction methods are used to compare these samples and to measure their resistance to radiation damage at room temperature. The X-ray induced amorphisation of the samples was followed as a function of time and it … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 8,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUNGAL LEACHING OF IRON ORE: ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLEACHING STUDIES OF PENICILLIUM VERRUCULOSUMNeha Chaudhary, Trina Banerjee, Neha Ibrahim, G. SibiPyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies for recovery of metals from low grade ores require high energy and capital costs. Use of microorganisms in leaching of mineral ores is gaining importance due to the implementation of stricter environmental rules. Microbes convert metal compounds into their water soluble forms and are biocatalysts of leaching processes. This study was performed to isolate and characterize … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2014 · 7,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHARACTERIZATION OF OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND RICE HUSK BIOCHARS AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO ADSORB ARSENIC AND CADMIUMNorazlina Abu Sari, Che Fauziah Ishak, Rosenani Abu BakarBiochar as a new soil amendment has a potential in controlling the fate of trace elements in the soil system. However, the production of biochar from different feedstocks and pyrolysis conditions resulted in variable biochar properties which have an influence on trace elements availability.
