A new experimental technique is described whereby a material is heated to very high temperature (T), shock compressed to high pressure (P) (and higher T), and the compressional elastic wave velocity of the high P and T state is measured. This method has been applied to the high-pressure standard molybdenum at pressures between 12 and 81 GPa and at an initial temperature of 1400øC. The compressi...

in general, the objective of distillation control is to maintain the desired products quality. in this paper, the performances of different one point control strategies for an aromatic distillation column have been compared through dynamic simulation. these methods are: a) composition control using measured composition directly. this method sufferes from large sampling delay of measuring device...

In adsorption study, to describe sorption process and evaluation of best-fitting isotherm model is a key analysis to investigate the theoretical hypothesis. Hence, numerous statistically analysis have been extensively used to estimate validity of the experimental equilibrium adsorption values with the predicted equilibrium values. Several statistical error analysis were carried out. In the pres...

The chemical adsorption isotherm reveals information about the active surface of a material and has been employed for many years as a standard analytical tool for the evaluation of catalysts. Temperature-programmed reaction techniques have emerged from the 1950’s as an indispensable companion to chemisorption isotherm analyses in many areas of industry and research. This paper provides an intro...

Introduction. Sarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome associated with impairment of muscle function, metabolism, and cognition in older women. Recent studies have shown a relationship between changes in muscle mass and the cardiovascular system. However, this relationship has not been fully elucidated. Methods. One hundred and thirty community-dwelling Brazilian older women (65.4 ± 6.3 years) were r...

Molecular dynamics simulations using a pair-wise additive potential are implemented to investigate self-diffusion (Mg, Si, and O) and shear viscosity of liquid MgSiO3 in the density-temperaturepressure range 2350–5300 kg/m3, 2500–5000 K, and 0–140 GPa, respectively. Self-diffusivity and shear viscosity are described by modified Arrhenian expressions, which feature a pressure-dependent activatio...

Adsorption is considered to be one of the most effective technologies widely used in global environmental protection areas. Modeling of experimental adsorption isotherm data is an essential way for predicting the mechanisms of adsorption, which will lead to an improvement in the area of adsorption science. In this paper, we employed three isotherm models, namely: Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubin...

background: in recent years, proficient treatment of wastewaters containing recalcitrant and toxic compounds such as phenol has been a challenge. this study introduced and evaluated an efficient option for treating such wastewater . methods: this experimental study was performed on phenol removal as a recalcitrant and toxic compound in aqueous solutions in 2011. the pumice stone was collected f...
