c 5 Abstract In Part I of this series of papers, it was shown that a definite amount of air had to be present in a laboratory mixing unit which produced a moderate shear rate in order to form compact, spherical agglomerates in an aqueous suspension of moderately hydrophobic coal using heptane or hexadecane as an agglomerant. In this paper, the effects of different amounts of air including disso...

Fluidized bed agglomeration is an advanced technology to produce spherical coarse-grained material of uniform size ready for sale without any need for post-treatment. This study discusses the possibilities and appropriateness of an intelligent control method such as a fuzzy logic controller in simulating and controlling fluidized bed agglomeration performance. Modeling and simulation was perfor...

Abstract. Cooking emissions account for a major fraction of urban organic aerosol. It is therefore important to understand the atmospheric evolution in physical and chemical properties compounds emitted from cooking activities. In this work, we investigate formation secondary aerosol (SOA) oxidation gas-phase heated oil. The composition SOA analyzed using thermal desorption–gas chromatography–m...

Releases of hydrocarbons from oil spills have large environmental impacts in both the ocean and atmosphere. Oil evaporation is not simply a mechanism of mass loss from the ocean, as it also causes production of atmospheric pollutants. Monitoring atmospheric emissions from oil spills must include a broad range of volatile organic compounds (VOC), including intermediate-volatile and semivolatile ...

Spherical crystallization is a novel particle engineering/design technique developed by Kawashima et al, to overcome the problems associated with direct compression. Basically, it's single step process used for size enlargement of single, two or more, small dose or large dose drugs, in combination with or without diluent. The process of spherical crystallization involves simultaneous crystalliz...

Synthesis of widespread types of nanoparticles including metal oxides by plant extract is considered as alternative chemical synthesis methods. ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized by a biological process using flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum L.) extract. The biosynthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by XRD and SEM, EDX, DLS spectroscopy. According to the SEM images, the synthesized nanopa...

Natural gas is projected to be the premium fuel of the 21st century because of availability, as well as economical and environmental considerations. Natural gas is coproduced with water from the subsurface forming gas hydrates. Hydrate formation may result in shutdown of onshore and offshore operations. Industry practice has been usage of alcohols--which have undesirable environmental impacts--...

The objective of this work was to study the formation of particles and their morphology and chemical composition in large-scale diesel engines operating with low-grade residual fuel oils. The effect of a Mg-based fuel oil additive on exhaust gas particles was also investigated. Particle characteristics were determined by means of the methods of aerosol technology, chemical analyses, and electro...
