Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUse of Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Nickel Adsorption in an Aqueous Solution by ClayNesrine Turki, Nesrine Boujelben, Zaineb Bakari, Jalel BouzidIn this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and BET surface area (SBET) methods were employed to characterize the adsorbent. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was consider as a good method to assess Ni adsorption treatment and Box-Behnken design was used to examine simultaneous the effects of different experimental variables (pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time). Experimental results showed high adsorption … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 5 · 24 Nov 2021 · 6,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCFD Simulation of Biogas Fired Clay Brick KilnAlemayehu Beyene, Venkata Ramayya, Getachew ShunkiMore strong and quality clay bricks are obtained if and only if bricks are fired with uniform optimum temperature during clay brick firing process in the clay brick kiln. To insure this transient temperature of fluegas and brick are analyzed using CFD simulation during clay brick firing in the clay brick kiln. In the simulation, 3-D geometrical model of fluegas … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2018 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite

This biogas burner for clay brick firing is designed for firing clay brick in the clay brick kiln. Biogas clay brick burner was specifically designed to replace firewood, caw dung and other non-renewable energy source used in local and mechanized clay brick … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 23 May 2018 · 10,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleApplication of Bio-Modified Montmorillonite Clay to Enhance Asphalt Oxidation ResistanceShahrzad Hosseinnezhad, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis study evaluates the effectiveness of using a Bio-modified Nanoclay additive (BNC) to reduce the oxidative aging of asphalt pavements. The study results through X-Ray Diffraction analysis showed that the modification of montmorillonite clay with bio-modifier increased the basal d-spacing of clay. The resulting nanoclay with increased interlayer spacing was chosen for application in asphalt binder. Rheological characterization of clay-modified … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 31 Mar 2018 · 9,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWater Filter Fabrication from a Mixture of KMnO4 Modified Kapok Carbon Fiber, Zeolite, Bentonite and Clay for Fe3+Removal and Water Hardness TreatmentKannika Thongdee, Kalayaporn Parun, Suphakrit Benjatitmongkhon et al.A water filter was fabricated from a mixture of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber, zeolite, bentonite and kaolinite clay for Fe3+ removal and water hardness treatment. The effects of amount of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber (30-60 wt%), zeolite (20-40 wt%) and sintering temperature (500-700°C) on the properties of sintered products were evaluated. The best of sintered products were tested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2017 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
