Modeling and optimization of various processes enable more efficient operations and better planning activities for new process developments. With recent advances in computing power, data driven models, such as Machine ...

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has gained great attraction as an alternative route of producing carbon-based chemicals, which also mitigates atmospheric CO2. This paper develops a numerical optimization model that ...

The detrimental environmental impacts of climate change that are a result of high atmospheric CO2 concentrations have prompted global efforts to limit the continuous increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many are now ...

In this study, nickel oxide nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method. The process parameters were optimized to produce smaller size of nanoparticles such as molar ratio, solution pH and calcination temperatures. ...

A comprehensive mathematical modeling method for Chlorella vulgaris (Cv) has been developed to assess the influence of nutrient concentration (total nitrogen TN= 28-207 and total phosphorus TP= 6-8mgL 1) and irradiation ...

Inert-particles spouted bed reactor (IPSBR) is characterized by intense mixing generated by the circular motion of the inert particles. The operating parameters play an important role in the performance of the IPSBR system, ...

Despite its importance in chemical industry, 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) is a persistent organic pollutant that has serious effects on the ecosystem. In the present study, Box–Behnken design in response surface methodology was ...

Alkali-earth metals pose a significant challenge to water treatment technologies and electrochemical processes due to their propensity to precipitate as metal hydroxides, which can deposit on membranes and/or electrodes ...

The traditional Solvay process and other modifications that are based on different types of alkaline material and waste promise to be effective in the reduction of reject brine salinity and the capture of CO2 . These ...

The treatment of tannery effluent is of great interest as it contains a complexmixture ofpollutants, primarily chromium. The disposal of this wastewater can have adverse effects on the environment and aquatic life, which ...
