چکیده

A Nonlinear Mixed Integer Programming approach is presented to select the number of membrane modules required in the extraction and stripping sectors of a Non Dispersive Solvent Extraction Plant for effluent treatment and metal recovery. The differential equations that model each membrane module are discretized using orthogonal collocation on finite elements leading to an algebraic system of equations. Binary variables are used to select the number of membrane modules in the extraction and stripping sectors. A superstructure with hollow fibre membrane modules in series in the extraction and stripping sectors is presented. A Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming problem is formulated in GAMS to optimise the superstructure. An initialisation strategy for the solution of the Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming problem is presented. The solution of the non linear programming problem, with the extraction and stripping areas rounded up to the nearest superior integer number of membrane modules for both sectors is used as the initial point. This initialisation reduces significantly the time required to solve the MINLP problem leading in most cases to the optimal solution.

Determination of Phenol and Carvacrol in Honey Samples Using Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction and Experimental Design for Optimization

A very simple, rapid and sensitive dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) followed by gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (GC-FID) was developed for the determination of phenol and carvacrol in honey samples. A mixture of 100 µl dichloromethane (extraction solvent) and 0.5 ml acetonitrile (disperser solvent) was rapidly injected into sample solution. Thereby a cloudy sol...

The Recovery of Soluble Copper from an Industrial Chemical Waste

A novel electrochemical device was used to recover copper metal from an inorganic chemicals process effluent. In a sidestream pilot-plant demonstration, the copper content was continuously reduced from an average of 20 mg/l to less than 2 mg/l. The basic concepts, laboratory testing, and pilot-plant demonstration are described. General Future water-pollution regulations may require effluent con...
