In this research, the generation process of engineered microsphere agarose adsorbent has been explained that has surfaces with different active sites to adsorb protein nanoparticles into the fluidized-bed system. Also, excellent selectivity of protein nanoparticles, high adsorption capacity, and fast equilibrium rate through the eco-friendly polymeric adsorbents were vital aims in here. Hence, ...

Packed bed reactor finds wide application in wastewater treatments. Packed bed reactors can be employed for aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment of wastewater. They can also be used for physico-chemical treatments such as activated carbon adsorption of various pollutants from wastewater. Packed beds with up flow and down flow mechanisms are widely used for wastewater treatment. Use of flu...

release  volatile  organic  compounds  (vocs)  as  environmental  and  occupational  pollutant  cause  macro perspective affect such as climate change, humans and economic consequences. although fixed bed absorber is widely used as a controlling method because of its economically and availability, but these absorbers are facing some issue like high pressure drop, non-uniform distribution of flu...

A fluidized bed is being studied as a very promising method for mass production of IFE targets. Large beds could be filled with many targets to provide large-scale production, while a near-isothermal environment could be maintained in principle around each target (as required for smooth layering to meet the physics requirements on the ice characteristics) through the random movement and spin of...

A well-designed CFB combustor can burn coal with high efficiency and within acceptable levels of gaseous emission. In this study, the combustion efficiency of CFB combustor based on the losses has been defined and effects of operational parameters on combustion efficiency have been investigated by a dynamic 2D model which has been developed in our previous studies. Investigations on combustion ...

In this study, thermochemical biomass gasification was performed on a bench-scale fluidized-bed gasifier with steam and air as fluidizing and oxidizing agents. Distillers grains, a non-fermentable byproduct of ethanol production, were used as the biomass feedstock for the gasification. The goal was to investigate the effects of furnace temperature, steam to biomass ratio and equivalence ratio o...

Changes in the physical properties (such as particle density, bulk density of the bed, shrinkage and bed porosity of fresh green peas particulates were compared at 50 o C, during fluidized bed drying and fixed bed drying. Empirical relationships of the following nature were developed for the changes in shrinkage [VR = A + B MR], particle density [ρ p = A + B MR + C exp (-DMR)], and bulk density...

One significant factor in the operation of a fluidized bed combustor is the manner in which coal particles disperse and mix with the bed material upon entering the bed. A thermal tracing technique was used to study the mixing characteristics in a 1/4 scale model of a pressurized bubbling fluidized bed combustor. Particles cooled by liquid nitrogen are injected into the bed in the same way that ...

Fluidized bed techniques are employed in coal combustion power plants, because they allow for the use of low-quality fuel and result in low pollutant emissions. The most important dynamical difference between fluidized beds and normal combustion chambers, is that the former are characterized by a significant loading of carbon, usually absent in conventional plants. Fluidized beds are remarkably...

conclusions results indicated that annular fluidized bed reactor’s adsorbers are useful techniques for vocs adsorption. comparison of two particle ranges indicates that in all concentrations and all flow rates of the experiments, smaller particle size adsorption are better. in superficial velocity above the minimum fluidization velocity, pressure drop of fluidized beds are less than the pressur...
