In this study, o/w emulsion flotation experiments were conducted by adding methylated milk casein (MeSC). Emulsion used in this study was prepared by ultrasonic emulsification of heavy oil (bunker-A) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. A simple kinetic model was proposed to estimate the removal rate of the oil droplets within the column. The model was based on main assumption that adsorp...

in present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. a double active sites model for ziegler-natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with differentiall...

High heat transfer coefficients and large interfacial areas make bubble columns ideal for dehumidification. However, the effect of geometry on the heat transfer coefficients outside cooling coils in shallow bubble columns, such as those used in multi-stage bubble column dehumidifiers, is poorly understood. The generallyoverlooked entry and coalescing regions become important in shallow bubble c...

This study aims at investigating the role of bubbles passage to prevent biofouling in thin-gap bubble column photobioreactors (PBRs) where biomass concentration is important and reactor thickness low. Different types gas sparging are tested a square channel with cross-section 4x4 mm2 mimicking PBR. Firstly, it shown that very difficult detach biofilm once has adhered wall: only bubbling conditi...

This contribution presents the results of continued investigations on production hydrogen by means pyrolysis in a liquid metal bubble column reactor, as developed at Karlsruhe Institute Technology recent years. Part I this described motivation and methodology study, well significant scale-up, discussed its for pure methane pyrolysis. Here part II, two additional experimental campaigns with meth...

By means of the ultrafast X-ray tomography facility, data were obtained at different superficial gas velocities UG in a bubble column (0.1 m in ID) operated with an air-deionized water system at ambient conditions. Raw reconstructed images were treated by both the information entropy (IE) and the reconstruction entropy (RE) algorithms in order to identify the main transition velocities in a bub...

ozonation was carried out for decolorization and coD removal of raw and anaerobically treated uAsb (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) combined industrial (mainly textile) effluent in a lab-scale bubble column reactor. ozonation of anaerobic bioprocess effluent at a dose of 300 mg/h for 10 min resulted in 81% color and 75% coD removal (100 mgo3/80 mg coD) while for raw wastewater 25 min ozonation...
