the modeling of kinetic and isotherm curves acquired in adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) as a model compound (phenanthrene) on activated carbons in the organic solvent. all the runs were carried out in a batch system at atmospheric pressure, process temperature of 24±2°c, and using the 100 ml phenanthrene in cyclohexan. this experimental work was mainly focused on the study...

in this study simulation and optimization of an industrial acetylene hydrogenation reactor was studied. three well known kinetic models were used for a nearly similar catalyst to predict the industrial data. due to the complexity of the reactions, none of the offered kinetic models could be considered as an exact kinetic model and it is necessary to determine the kinetic parameters. one of the ...

the aim of this study was preparation and evaluation of ciprofloxacin-containing minitablets for ocular use, in an attempt to obtain prolonged and controlled drug release to the anterior eye segment. following initial studies on ciprofloxacin powder, it was formulated into ocular minitablets. for this purpose, ciprofloxacin along with various amounts of different sustained release cellulose der...

kinetic modeling is an important issue, whose objective is the accurate determination of the rates of various reactions taking place in a reacting system. this issue is a pivotal element in the process design and development particularly for novel processes which are based on reactions taking place between various types of species. the fischer tropsch (ft) reactions have been used as the kineti...

The kinetic of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over a co-precipitated Fe-Ce catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed micro reactor. Experimental conditions were varied as follow: reaction pressure 1-15bar, H¬¬¬2/CO feed ratio of 1-3 and space velocity of 3600-5400 h-1 at the temperature range of 270-310°C. 4 models according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) type rate equation were der...

in this research, rehydration behavior of dried figs was studied at different temperatures (25, 60, 70, 80, and 90°c). the rehydration kinetic was examined using the four most frequently used empirical models, namely, weibull, peleg, first-order, and exponential association models. the weibull model gave the highest coefficient of determination (r2) and the lowest values of root mean square err...
