The main purpose of the study is determination of the pollutants hazard potential as well as environmental vulnerability of Qarah Su River. First the most significant pollutant sources in the Qarah Su river watershed were identified and then accordingly the pollution hazard potential rate was calculated in Universal Ranking System Model setting. Then, by generalizing the algebraic sum of the re...

bond-order conservation-morse potential (boc-mp) method is used to carry out the calculationon the co2+ h20 system. one of the best catalysts for methanol synthesis in catalytic reductionof co2 with h2o is cu/zno/a1203 whose surface is supported by with some amount of pd orga. reduction of co2 with h20 on cu will result in methanol formation; while on ni will lead tomethane formation. in the me...

one of the most important methods to produce sponge iron is coal based reduction of iron ore. direct reduction methods based on coal are being improved due to the abundance of coal sources and its lower cost in comparison with natural gas. volatile materials in coal play an important role in the reduction of iron oxides. in this study, noncoking coal with high volatile materials from iran and c...

An increase in fossil fuel consumption has significantly increased the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Waste energy recovery can reduce GHGs by reducing fossil fuel consumption. In the FCC unit in refineries, the catalyst is continuously regenerated by burning off the deposited coke with air and a large flux of waste gas with high temperature is generated which is vented into the atmo...

The significant consumption of gas in the World results in the emission of greenhouse gases into atmosphere. Abadan refinery has always been the biggest and oldest oil refinery in the Middle East and has a variety of refined products. After six months of collecting data about pollutant concentration emitted from a stack of old furnaces of units 75 and new unit 200, the emission factor of the po...

water quality prediction is a valuable tool for pollutant control in aquatic environments. a river system is selected and one-dimensional flow is assumed for the simulation of pollutant transport in this paper. advective and diffusive terms of transport equation are considered separately. different functions of advective transport are proposed and applied for a specified velocity on the discret...
