high strength fresh leachates generated at a new disposal trench, compost plant and partially stabilized leachate of an older trench were characterized in terms of anaerobic degradation at laboratory batch scale at 35oc. fresh leachate had extremely high cod of 66,710 – 89,501 mg/l along with low ph of 4.1-5.9 in contrast to older and therefore partially stabilized leachate with a cod of about ...

a numerical model for two-phase debris flows is developed in this paper, on the basis of understanding of the physical characteristics of debris flows from field investigations and experiments. employing a moving coordinate, the kinetic energy equation of gravel particles in unit volume in debris flow is developed by considering the potential energy of the particles, energy from the liquid phas...

expanded graphite nanosheets (eg-nanosheets) were used for adsorption of malachite green (mg) from aqueous solution. the influences of dye concentrations, absorbent dosage, ph values and the temperatures on the adsorption were investigated as well. the dye adsorption experiments were carried out by utilizing batch procedure. eg-nanosheets were initially characterized by scanning electron micros...

we created a simple cellular automata (ca) model for hepatitis b infection dynamics associated with spatial structure performed under various ages of liver tissue correspond to different immune responses in order to study the effect of spatial heterogeneities on the dynamical evolution of a viral infection. the results of the simulations show biphasic nature of viral load decreases, as observed...

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...

In this work, removal of C. I. Acid Red 14 was investigated by Pumice stone as a low cost adsorbent. Various parameters such as initial dye solution, contact time and pH were studied. Removal of dye were increased by increasing of contact time and initial dye solution and deceased by increasing of pH. Three isotherm models were studied. Linear and non-linear regression analyses were used fo...

a study of the kinetic analysis of total lead from spent car battery ash by hydrochloric acidleaching has been examined. the physico-chemical analysis of the ash powder was carried outby the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (icp-ms) and x–ray diffraction (xrd).the effects of the acid concentration, temperature and particle size on the rate of battery ashdissolution have been investi...

The dynamic characteristics of deflectable nose missiles with rotary single-channel control were investigated in this paper. Firstly, the effective angle of attack, effective angle of sideslip and quasi-body coordinates were introduced based on the spin characteristics of the missile’s body. Secondly, considering the interaction between the missile’s nose and body, the rigid kinetic model of mi...

in this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene (cnb) from aqueous solutions onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) was surveyed. the effect of some key parameters such as ph (2-10), carbon nanotubes dosage (0.02-0.1 mg/250ml), cnb concentration (2- 16 mg/l), and temperature (20,30,40,50°c) were investigated. the results showed that, the variation of initial ph and cnb concentration ex...

Kinetic models which can express the behaviors of hydrolysis and biogas generation more precisely than the conventional models were developed. The developed models were evaluated based on the experimental data of six batch reactors. Anaerobic digestion test was co-digestion of food and vegetable waste with inoculating horse dung by 15% of the total wet weight, at the temperature of 37o</su...
