Polyvinyl alcohol-containing desizing wastewater discharged within final textile wastewater has a great impact to the environment due to its poor biodegradability. An improved lab-scale hybrid anaerobic baffled reactor was developed to treat desizing wastewater. The modification was achieved by increasing the height of hybrid anaerobic baffled reactor and application of proper effluent recycle ...

background detection of fetal dna in maternal blood has been examined by many research groups for a few years; thereby, scientists have a shorter way to take to approach prenatal diagnosis of abnormal pregnancies. the y chromosome sequences have recently become the most common applicable indices for fetal sex determination. objectives we conducted an algorithmic x and y mini-short tandem repeat...

the aim of this study was to examine factors affecting adoption of mini-tuber seed potato. survey research design was used in this study. a sample of 100 potato growers who were informed about mini-tuber was selected and divided into adopter and non-adopter groups. questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection and was validated by a panel of experts. a pilot study was conducted f...

This study presents the operation of a biotrickling filter when treating a monochlorobenzene (MCB) contaminated gaseous emission. Treatment dynamics were characterised by exposing the reactor to various MCB Organic Loads (OL). The use of different growth support materials, namely limestone, sand, ceramic and PVC pall-rings, was investigated. Limestone led to dogging of the reactor due to the ac...

This paper analyzes the power loss of magnetically controlled reactor based on the basic theory of the electromagnetic field. In a variety of magnetic valve structure model as the object, physical simulation models of the reactor are built. Using Ansoft Maxwell simulation software, various magnetic valve structures of the reactor are studied by the analysis of the magnetic valve type reactor co...

A new biofilm reactor for wastewater treatment, the moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), is discussed. A general description of the reactor is given. Results from investigations of different applications (carbonaceous removal, nitrification and nitrogen removal) when used for municipal wastewater treatment, are discussed. Design values are given and it is demonstrated that use of this reactor res...

The paper describes the studies on the ageing research for upgrades using digital I&C system. After the ageing analysis of QNPP reactor protection system, we will upgrade the analog reactor protection system using digital system. The paper also describes the digital modernization oAf QNPP reactor protection system and the ageing study of the QNPP digital reactor protection system.

A steady-state cross-flow reactor for ethylene epoxidation was simulated using industrial data (low oxygen/ethylene feed ratio) and pilot plant data (high oxygen/ethylene feed ratio). A comparison between the conventional fixed-bed reactor and the cross-flow reactor with two types of feeding modes was performed. The present study showed the possibility of enhancing the reactor yield by distribu...
