In this work, the adsorption of carbon dioxide from model flue gas on different adsorbents has been investigated. Using simplified modeling, parameters such as the total mass transfer coefficient and the effective diffusivity have been determined. Experiments were carried out in two sections: firstly, adsorption of pure carbon dioxide on different adsorbents was measured at pressures ranging fr...

moisture sorption isotherms for pistachio powder were determined by gravimetric method according to cost 90 project at temperatures of 15, 25, 35, and 40oc . maximum hysteresis level in sorption isotherms curve was observed at the range of water activity 0.2-0.7 . on the other hand hysteresis was diminished between adsorption-desorption isotherm curves when temperature reached 40oc. some mathem...

the recovery and removal of the most organic acids in liquid solutions is usually treated with fixed-bed adsorption processes. among many adsorbents, granular activated carbon (gac) is used to remove organic pollutants such as benzoic acid (ba) from wastewaters conventionally. in this research, adsorption isotherm curves of ba onto gac at varying temperatures 25-60 °c are developed and the amou...

The reversíbilíty of the adsorption of phosphate on goethite was measured by dlluting suspensions of goethite on which phosphate was adsorbed with large volumes oí phosphate-frce solution at the same ioníe strength. The effect on the reversibility of various adsorptíon and desorption conditions was studied, particularly pH, temperature, ionic strength and time of reaction. The apparent irrevers...

In previous papers, we have described a suitable method to obtain pore size distributions for voids and necks using the Dual Site-Bond Model (DSBM) and Monte Carlo simulations. This method basically consists in the determination of the corresponding size distributions by using adsorption–desorption hysteresis data. Void size frequency functions are featured from the ascending curve. From the de...

bubble column reactors are used in a wide variety of applications such as multiphase bioreactors, catalytic slurry reactors, and absorption processes. the superficial gas velocity-gas holdup relationship and transition point are two important parameters for characterizing the hydrodynamics of a bubble column reactor. in this study, systematic investigation of a nitrogen - water - glass beads bu...

the emerging contaminants are commonly derived from municipal, agricultural, and industrialwastewater sources and pathways. these compounds are polar and poorly biodegradable. the dynamicremoval of atenolol from aqueous solutions by activated carbon in fixed bed column systems was investigated. as far as we know, this is the first study reporting the decontamination by adsorption in fixed bed o...
