in this research, the thin films of n-s doped titanium dioxide (tio2) were successfully prepared by simple sol-gel method in the presence of tetrabutylorthotitanate as a starting reagent. furthermore, titanium dioxide (tio2) was functionalized with thiourea. furthermore, n-s doped titanium dioxides (nsto) were fixed on glass balls by glass balls fixed-bed reactor system. besides, the effect of ...

Shape-selective methylation of naphthalene (NAPH) over SAPO-11 zeolite was carried out in a fixed-bed flow reactor under atmospheric pressure. Some zeolites, such as H-beta (Hβ), HUSY and ZSM-5 were also evaluated for comparison with SAPO-11 zeolite.The results showed that SAPO-11 exhibited higher stability, higher selectivity of  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN), and higher 2,6-/2,7-DMN r...

Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...

One of the key parameters in Fluidized Bed reactors is the control of biofilm thickness and configuration. The effect of upflow velocity on performance and biofilm characteristics of an Anaerobic Fluidized Bed Reactor was studied in treating Currant wastewater at various loading rates. The reactor used this study was made of a plexiglass column being 60 mm diameter, 140 cm height, and a volume ...

This experimental paper deals with the development of a hybrid biological reactor for treatment synthetic oilfield produced water under an increase in total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration. To comply strengthening regulations concerning discharge and peculiar compositions, moving bed biofilm (MBBR) consisting combination free activated sludge supports was compared to fixed (FBHBR) support....

Fixed bed biofilm reactors with granular activated carbon (GAC) or glass beads as support media were used to evaluate the influence of short-term (12h) and long-term (23 days) increases of influent dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations on biological perchlorate removal. The goal was to evaluate the extent by which chemisorption of oxygen to GAC can enhance the stability of biological perchlorate...

Radial flow reactor was focused for large scale methanol synthesis and in which the heat transfer type was cross-flow. The effects of operating conditions including the reactor inlet air temperature, the heating pipe temperature and the air flow rate on the cross-flow heat transfer was investigated and the results showed that the temperature profile of the area in front of the heating pipe was ...

Operability analysis as one of the most important bridges between process design and process control helps the process designer to investigate the control issues quite early in the design stage. Recently, Vinson and Georgakis suggested a steady state geometrical operability index as a quantitative measure for assessment of process operability. In...
