Role of catalyst type in the selective separation of olefinic and paraffinic hydrocarbons using xerogel-based adsorbents
(
Elsevier
, 2008 , Article)
Resorcinol-Formaldehyde (RF)-based activated carbon xerogels are typically synthesized using a homogeneous, sodium-based, catalyst solution. In this work, the synthesis of RF-based carbon xerogels using other, non-typical, ...
Efficient visual mixture design of experiments using property clustering techniques
(2009 , Article)
Mixture design is a design of experiments (DOE) tool used to determine the combination of chemical constitutents that deliver a desired response (or property) using a minimum number of experimental runs. While the approach ...
Photodegradation of methylene blue dye by the UV/H2O2 and UV/acetone oxidation processes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
The photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye in aqueous solutions was investigated using a laboratory-scale UV lamp in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Different initial concentrations of dyes (10, 20, 30, 40 ...
Concentration of sucrose solutions via vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
The potential use of vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) process for the concentration of sucrose solution was examined. The effect of several parameters, including feed temperature, flow rate, and initial sucrose concentration ...
Stability of membrane fouling particles under perikinetic and orthokinetic flow conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Stability of fouling particles against Brownian motion (perikinetic) and simple shear flow (orthokinetic) was investigated. The effect of the various parameters such as particle radius, Hamaker constant, salt (1-1 type) ...
Viscous-Gravity spreading of oil on water
(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2001 , Article)
Spreading of oil on calm water is analyzed for the second stage of spread, which is controlled by a balance between gravity and viscous forces. The analysis, using the integral boundary-layer method, agreed well with a ...
Operational modeling of multistream heat exchangers with phase changes
(
Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company
, 2009 , Article)
Multistream heat exchangers (MSHE) enable the simultaneous exchange of heat among multiple streams, and are preferred in cryogenic processes such as air separation and LNG. Most MSHEs are complex; proprietary and involve ...
Adaptive and Predictive Control of Liquid-Liquid Extractors Using Neural-Based Instantaneous Linearization Technique
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2006 , Article)
Nonlinearity of the extraction process is addressed via the application of instantaneous linearization to control the extract and raffinate concentrations. Two feed-forward neural networks with delayed inputs and outputs ...
Modeling of mass transport of aqueous solutions of multi-solute organics through reverse osmosis membranes in case of solute–membrane affinity: Part 1. Model development and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
A two-dimensional mathematical model is developed for transport of multi-solute liquid (aqueous) solutions through reverse osmosis membranes in which strong affinity may exist between the membrane polymer and the solutes. ...
Markedly improved CO2 capture efficiency and stability of gallium substituted hydrotalcites at elevated temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2009 , Article)
Potassium carbonate promoted, Ga3+ substituted hydrotalcites reported here exhibit very high, selective and reversible CO2 capture from an exhaust gas mixture. The 10% Ga3+ substitution improved the CO2 capture from 0.3 ...
