This research evaluated the efficiency of combined anaerobic-aerobic processes for the treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater. The anaerobic reactor consists of a 3.95 L Plexiglas column with 60 mm diameter and 140 cm height. The cylindrical particles of polyvinyl chloride with 2 mm diameter and 1250 kg m-3 density packed to 60 cm of column were used as biomass saving material. The d...

The thermal flow reversal reactor (TFRR) and catalytic flow reversal reactor (CFRR) can utilize the ventilation air methane (VAM) from coal mines effectively. The initial cold feed flow mass distribution uniformity in the monolith oxidation bed, the critical part of both reactors, has a great influence on the stability of methane oxidation process and conversation rate. So the emphases are put ...

In  this  research,  biological  removal  of  phenol  and  orthonitrophenol  (2NP)  pollutants  from wastewater  by  continuous  moving  bed  sequencing  batch  reactor  (MSBR)  was  studied.  The experiments were conducted in various operational conditions to find out the optimum level of the significant  parameters.  Best  performance  for  removal  of  Phenols  was  achieved  when  parameter...

The physical and chemical properties of raw bio-oil, two oxidized bio-oils, and hydrotreated bio-oil were compared before and after catalytic hydrodeoxygenation using sulfided CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Following continuous hydrodeoxygenation, the organic liquid products from treated bio-oils and raw bio-oil were compared for higher heating value, oxygen content, water content, and viscosity. In ad...

in this paper, modeling and optimization of fischer-tropsch synthesis is considered in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor using an industrial fe-cu-k catalyst. a one dimensional pseudo-homogenous plug flow model without axial dispersion is developed for converting syngas to heavy hydrocarbons. the effects of temperature, pressure, h2 to co ratio in feed stream, and co molar flow on the mass flow rat...

a linear low density polyethylene (lldpe) production process, including two- fuidized bed reactors in series (fbrs) and other process equipment, was completely simulated by aspen polymer plus software. fluidized bed reactors were considered as continuous stirred tank reactors (cstr consisted of polymer and gas phases). poly-srk and nrtl-rk equations of state were used to describe polymer and no...

MIT has been developing a conceptual design for pebble bed reactors since approximately 1998, when a student design project concluded that in order to resurrect the nuclear power industry a new, innovative approach was needed, not only in reactor design but also in construction and operation. In their quest to identify the appropriate technology several key conclusions were reached. First was t...

a solid – liquid – gas, multiphase reactor, called inverse fluidized bed bioreactor (ifbbr) was used in this study for the treatment of starch industry wastewater of high organic content and acidic nature. mixed culture obtained from the sludge, taken from starch industry effluent treatment plant, was used as microorganisms. experiments were carried out in an inverse fluidized bed bioreacto...
