this work presents a simulation approach to the design and economic evaluation of fuel oil hydrotreating processes for control of so2 and nox emission in an iranian steam power plant. minimum amount of required fuel oil desulphurization was calculated from the limit of so2 emissions of power plants in two different scenarios based on (i) european and (ii) iranian so2 emission standards. based o...

Pyrolysis of waste tyres produces harmful hydrogen sulfide and other mercaptan compounds as by-products. The current study is concerned with the purification hydrogen-rich pyrolysis gas from that present in a great amount (up to 5.1% mol at 420 °C), mercaptans are also problematic impurities. method proposed absorption by alkanolamines which one most economical methods applied natural sweetenin...

Due to the high intake of sugars, especially sucrose, global trends in food processing have encouraged producers to use sweeteners, particularly synthetic ones, to a wide extent. For several years, increasing attention has been paid in the literature to the stevia (Stevia rebauidana), containing glycosidic diterpenes, for which sweetening properties have been identified. Chemical composition, n...

Xylitol is a naturally occurring five-carbon containing sugar alcohol. It has attracted a lot of attention in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, and dental industries due to its high sweetening ability, anticariogenic properties and possibilities for use in insulin-dependent diabetics. Thus, the establishment of a simple and rapid method for the determination of xylitol with high selectivity ...

Natural gas sweetening is an essential process within hydrocarbon processing operations, enabling compliance with product quality specifications, avoiding corrosion problems, and environmental care. This aims to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide, or both contaminants. It can be carried out in fixed-bed adsorption towers, where iron oxide-based solid sorbent reacts the H2S produce su...

The knowledge of vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) the carbon dioxide-alkanolamine-water system at high pressure plays a critical role in design natural gas sweetening systems. Semi-empirical thermodynamic models have been widely used to estimate VLE pressure. However, understanding their correlation behaviour is limited. Therefore, this study reviews chronological development and analyse perform...

In this work, adsorbents, namely bentonite and sludge, modified by iron and copper were used to remove the H2S and mercaptan from Kermanshah refinery. The used adsorbents are inexpensive materials, which substantially decrease the operational costs. The structure of the adsorbents was analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Th...
