Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasurement of Gas-Phase Mass Transfer Coefficients in a Humidification Column through Random PackingMasoud Khorasani, Morteza Zivdar, Farshad Fashchi Tabrizi et al.Packed columns are an important part of the broad selection of mass and heat transfer equipment. Nowadays, the use of packed columns is increasing, which is because of its lower pressure drop, higher capacity and higher mass transfer in comparison to tray columns. The experiential tests and the hypothetical analysis display that the chemical dehumidification of air by hygroscopic salt … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2019 · 8,028 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntermittent Aeration in Biological Treatment of WastewaterH. Doan, A. LohiProblem statement: E-coating process is widely used to provide a protective coating layer on metal parts in the automotive and metal finishing industry. The wastewater from the coating process contains organic compounds that are used in the cleaning, pretreatment and coating steps. Organic pollutants can be removed biologically. In the aerobic biological treatment, water aeration accounts for a significant portion … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,131 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDissolved Ammonia Adsorption in Water Using Over Burnt BrickShukra Raj Paudel, Bhagwan Ratna KansakarProblem statement: The groundwater of Kathmandu Valley contained very high concentration of ammonia nitrogen which was in excess of WHO guideline value for drinking water. Approach: This study mainly focused on the removal of ammonia nitrogen in water by adsorption in locally available over burnt brick. The study was carried out in a 4.2 cm internal diameter column of 120 … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,451 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Cadmium, Copper, Lead and Nickel from Aqueous Solution by White, Yellow and Red United Arab Emirates SandL. Pappalardo, F. Jumean, N. AbdoProblem statement: To remove toxic heavy metal ions from wastewater using local sand as a low cost adsorbent. Approach: Removal efficiency of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solution by white, yellow and red UAE sand was investigated at 25.0°C using the methods of batch equilibrium adsorption and column filtration. In each case, a mixture containing 20 ppm of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,600 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Management of Effluents from Small Piggery Farms in MexicoJ.L. de Victorica-Almeida, M. Galván-García, R. Ayala-RuizIn Mexico, pig farming is the third most important livestock activity due to its contribution to the total meat production. However, it is estimated that around 38% of pig farms dispose their wastewaters without any treatment directly into the nation’s water bodies, which in turn has a severe impact in the environment. One reason for not treating is the high … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,365 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDynamic Measurement of Copper (II) Ion Adsorption in Activated Carbon Fixed Bed ColumnsTanokkorn Banjonglaiad, Eric Croiset, Peter Silveston et al.Dynamic experiments were carried out on the adsorption of copper (II) ions in a laboratory packed bed of activated carbon. Both pulse and step change inputs were used. Measurements were reproducible and replicate measurements furnished nearly identical parameters for a heterogeneous model of the activated carbon bed assuming Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The initial concentration of copper (II) ion was 3 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,862 accessesView PDF Cite
