Chromium removal from tannery wastewater by electrocoagulation: Optimization and sludge characterization
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
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 ...
CFD and statistical approach to optimize the average air velocity and air volume fraction in an inert-particles spouted-bed reactor (IPSBR) system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
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, ...
Adsorption of 4-Nitrophenol onto Iron Oxide Bentonite Nanocomposite: Process Optimization, Kinetics, Isotherms and Mechanism
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
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 ...
Optimization of Sink Locations in Carbon Integration Networks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Book chapter)
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 ...
Optimizing network pathways of CO2 conversion processes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
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 ...
Optimization of nickel oxide nanoparticle synthesis through the sol-gel method using Box-Behnken design
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
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. ...
Koh-based modified solvay process for removing na ions from high salinity reject brine at high temperatures
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
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 ...
A mathematical model for carbon fixation and nutrient removal by an algal photobioreactor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
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 ...
Magnesium recovery from desalination reject brine as pretreatment for membraneless electrolysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
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 ...
