[1] Bed surface coarsening was found to be an important effect for the formation of ripples and the dynamics of the boundary layer above a predominantly silt-sized sediment bed (median particle size equal to 26 mm; 20% fine sand, 70% silt, 10% clay) under oscillatory flow (with orbital velocities of 0.32–0.52 m/s) in a laboratory wave duct. Following bed liquefaction, substantial winnowing of t...

The H2S retention with Ca-based sorbents in a pressurized fixed-bed reactor (1 MPa) has been analyzed, obtaining the breakthrough curves with a dolomite and two different limestones, different particle size (+0.8-1.0 mm, +1.25-1.6 mm, and +1.6-2.0 mm), and both at calcining (1173 K) and non-calcining conditions (1123 K). The effect of the stoichiometric time in the breakthrough curves has been ...

Specific ATP content of volatile solids was measured to characterize the sludge activity in a sequential an-aerobic/aerobic wastewater treatment system, with an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and a three-phase aerobic fluidized bed (AFB) reactor. The wastewater COD level was 2000-3000 mg/L in simulation of real textile waste-water. The ATP content and the specific ATP contents o...

The mechanism of vibration energy transfer in a vibrating fluidized bed (VFB) is reported in this paper. A series of sensors was employed to simultaneously detect pressure wave propagation signals at different positions at various heights in the fluidized bed. The mechanism of vibration energy transfer in an VFB is found by wave propagation. The pressure wave was produced from a vibrating base ...

Ammonium perchlorate particles have been dried in a laboratory spouted bed dryer (screen-bottomed type) which is categorized as a fluidized bed dryer. The solid particles obtained in this process of drying were semi-porous and known as the group D of Geldart classification. The variations of moisture content with resident time, the effects of bed height on the pressure dro...

The application of an external magnetic field on a fluidized bed of ferromagnetic particles is well known in a conventional two-phase, gas–solid or liquid–solid fluidization. The external magnetic field significantly changes the fluidized bed fluid-dynamic behavior and if creatively used may enhance the bed performance. In this paper, a theoretical fluid-dynamic model describing behavior of a G...

Nanoparticles of iron precipitates produced by a microbial consortium are suitable adsorbent for metal removal from electroplating industry wastewaters. Biogenic were utilized as adsorbents chromate and zinc in batch conditions. Furthermore, the embedded alginate beads fixed-bed columns, their performance was evaluated continuous system varying different operational parameters such flow rate, b...

Abstract In this work, lead(II) adsorption on activated carbons, tire-derived carbon (TAC), and commercial (CAC), in a packed-bed column, was simulated using the Aspen Adsorption® V11 flowsheet simulator. The simulator used to model fixed-bed column establish breakthrough curves by varying initial concentration of ions (500 mg/L, 1000 2000 3000 mg/L), bed height (0.2 m, 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 m), flow...
