M ixing behavior of three geometrically equivalent 0.06 m bubble column and airlift photobioreactors was compared for use in microalgal culture. Mixing was characterized in terms of the axial dispersion coefficient, mixing time, circulation time and Bodenstein number. Measurements were reported in tap water and sea water, as used in growing microalgal biomass. Compared with the two airlift reac...

We describe a new method for separating and measuring urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase isoenzymes by "high-performance" liquid chromatography. Isoenzymes are eluted from the anion-exchange column with a one-step linear gradient of NaCl solution. For continuous post-column quantification of the activities of these isoenzymes, we use an on-line post-column reactor and 4-methylumbelliferyl-...

High-speed images of bubbly flow coupled with simultaneous passive acoustic measurements were carried out in a bubble column staged with structured fibrous catalysts. Local observations made with a high-speed camera system allow a detailed understanding of the influence of fabric structure on bubble formation processes and the determination of the Sauter bubble diameter. With acoustic measureme...

Hydrogen is not only an important industrial chemical but also energy carrier with increasing demand. However, the current production techniques are based on technologies that result in massive CO2 emissions. In contrast, pyrolysis of alkanes a liquid metal bubble column reactor does lead to direct order transfer this technology from lab-scale applications, it has be scaled up and influences mo...

a shortcut procedure as quick, easy-to use method for design and simulation of multicomponent batch distillation is used to predict the operating condition of recovering xylene from solvent in an existing batch distillation column in benzol refinery. the procedure can be used to investigate the effect of the operating parameters on the operation of column for three possible modes of batch disti...
