Commercial C(18) columns packed with superficially porous particles of different sizes and shell thicknesses (Ascentis Express, Kinetex, and Poroshell 120) or sub-2-μm totally porous particles (Acquity BEH) were systematically compared using a small molecule mixture and a complex natural product mixture as text probes. Significant efficiency loss was observed on 2.1-mm id columns even with a l...

The purpose of the study is to investigate average and local surface heat transfer coefficients in a cylinder packed with spheres. Here the term «local» applies to a single sphere within the bed. Averages are derived from the sixteen different spheres that were instrumented and distributed throughout the bed. The experimental technique consisted of introducing a step - wise change in the temper...

Iron is quantitatively retained on an adsorbent made by coprecipitation of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene-3,5-disulfonic acid (Tiron) and tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium choride (TDBA) an microcrystalline naphthalene as a slurry or packed in a column, in the pH range 6.0-9.0 from a large volumes of aqueous solutions (up to 200 ml on microcrystalline naphthalene and up to 500 ml of aqueous solutions ...

Packed columns are equipment commonly found in absorption, distillation, stripping, heat exchangers and other operations, like removal of dust, mist and odors and for other purposes. Mass transfer between phases is promoted by their intimate contact through all the extent of the packed bed. The main factors involving the design of packed columns are mechanics and equipment efficiency. Among the...

In this work modelling and experimental validation of an integrated process for the removal of carbon dioxide from ammonia solutions is presented (decarbonisation). In this process, carbon dioxide is stripped out from the solution simultaneously with small amounts of ammonia at ambient pressure in a packed column. Recovery of the stripped ammonia can be reached by combining absorption of ammoni...

This review summarizes recent developments in the field of enantiomer separation by capillary electrochromatography using fritless packed columns. Various enantiomers have been separated by employing fritless packed columns prepared in a fused silica capillary either by the immobilization of chiral packing materials by sintering or sol-gel technology or by in situ polymerization of a mixture co...
