In this investigation, the performance of a tower for absorption of sulphur dioxide gas into calcium carbonate solution has been studied. The trays had no downcomer and the tower itself was a scaled down pilot from industrial equipment. The industrial scale tower was used for clean up of 110000 m3/hr gas using 40 m3/hr alkaline solution. The study was composed of two parts. In the first section...

a comprehensive study pertaining to the emulsion liquid membrane (elm) extraction process to enrich dilute aqueous solutions of silver salt is presented. the study has highlighted the importance and influence of membrane composition for maximizing the extraction of ag+ ions. the liquid membrane was made up of cyanex-302 as an extractant and the industrial solvent mainly consists of paraffinic a...

The pumpkin is an important kitchen garden crop with very high nutritional value and long lifetime for storage and lot of fiber that acts as one of the best preventive factors from morbid obesity, hypertension, and cardiac diseases. As pretreatment for dehydration, osmotic dehydration creates maximum possible quality in the product by transfer of water outside the tissue of the nutrient. In thi...

food dehydration process in several reasons, causes deteriorate qualitative characteristics in final products. it is necessary to use some pretreatments such as osmotic dehydration. in this research, during osmotic dehydration of pear rings, the effects of concentration of sucrose solutions of 50 and 60 percent (w/w), in constant temperature of 30ºc, and reconstitution of osmotic solutions (unt...
