Design of a micro-channel reactor for decomposition of organic pollutants in waste water treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
Photocatalytic micro-channel reactor was built by using stereolithography process. A reactor with a micro-channel as a support of TiO2 photocatalyst was designed in order to reduce dimensions while improving the efficiency. Photocatalytic activity of the micro-reactor at various flow rates was evaluated by the inlet and outlet concentrations of salicylic acid as a model of pollutant. Influence of the initial pollutant concentration, the irradiation intensity on the rate of degradation of the pollutant was studied. A model with the kinetic parameters for the given support geometry was applied to reactor design and scale-up. ha l-0 04 37 44 5, v er si on 1 30 N ov 2 00 9 Author manuscript, published in "4th International Conference on Innovative Developments, Leiria : Portugal (2009)"

In recent years, photocatalytico oxidation processes with ultra violet (UV) radiation and semiconductor photocatalyst like titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) have gained immense research interest as an effective wastewater purification method because of its efficacy in decomposing and mineralising the hazardous organic pollutants as well as the opportunity of utilizing the solar UV an...
متن کاملTreatment of Textile Waste Water with Organoclay
In this study a sample of bentonite obtained from Semnan mines, was modified by a surfactant to prepare an organoclay with high surface area. BET analysis showed that the modification increased its surface significantly. The prepared sorbent was used for removal of dyes and other organic pollutants from a waste water obtained from Ekbatan textile company. Adsorption was studied in ...
متن کاملEvaluation and analysis of gaseous emission in landfill area and estimation of its pollutants dispersion, (case of Rodan in Hormozgan, Iran)
Background: The biogases are the mixture of gases produced through the microbial decomposition of organic waste which are amply observed in the landfills. The main purpose of this study was to estimate the emission rates of landfill gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and non-methane organic compounds (NMOCs) in the solid waste landfill of Rodan city in Hormozgan province. Methods: A...
متن کاملThermal-Hydraulics analysis of pressurized water reactor core by using single heated channel model
Thermal hydraulics of nuclear reactor as a basis of reactor safety has a very important role in reactor design and control. The thermal-hydraulic analysis provides input data to the reactor-physics analysis, whereas the latter gives information about the distribution of heat sources, which is needed to perform the thermal-hydraulic analysis. In this study single heated channel model as a very f...
متن کاملEnergy and phosphorus recovery from black water.
Source-separated black water (BW) (toilet water) containing 38% of the organic material and 68% of the phosphorus in the total household waste (water) stream including kitchen waste, is a potential source for energy and phosphorus recovery. The energy recovered, in the form of electricity and heat, is more than sufficient for anaerobic treatment, nitrogen removal and phosphorus recovery. The ph...
