In the past, oxygen delignification studies were mostly performed in batch reactors, whereby the caustic and dissolved oxygen concentrations are changing during the reaction. Also the lignin content and cellulose degradation of the pulp are only established at the end of an experiment when the sample is removed from the reactor. To overcome these deficiencies, a differential reactor system (cal...

We study what will be learnt about the solar neutrino puzzle and solar neutrino oscillations once the data from the KamLAND reactor neutrino experiment (soon to become available) are combined with those from the current solar neutrino experiments. We find that, in agreement with previous estimates, if the solution to the solar neutrino puzzle falls on the LMA region, KamLAND should be able to “...

Abstrati-An experimental study of the catalytic hydrogenation of 2,4_dinitrotoluene (DNT) in a miniinstallation with a continuously operated stirred three-phase slurry reactor and an evaporating solvent is discussed_ Some characteristic properties of the reactor system and the influence of the operating parameters on the performance of the reactor are illustrated. The experimental results are c...

With the popularity of applications like Internet, sensor network and social network, which generate graph data in stream form, graph stream classification has become an important problem. Many applications are generating side information associated with graph stream, such as terms and keywords in authorship graph of research papers or IP addresses and time spent on browsing in web click graph ...

In this short note we review the state-of-the-art of sidechannel attacks on implementations of stream ciphers. We overview published work. We also survey the most commonly used countermeasures and how they influence the cost and security of an implementation. The recommendations given in this note result from our practical experience with side-channel attacks and countermeasures in general, and...

Precipitation of mineral phosphates from wastewater treatment processes is an excellent method for phosphorus recovery, leading to the formation compounds with high fertilizing value. Conventionally, P-precipitation are mostly applied supernatant anaerobic sludge digestates, due their P and N residual contents. This study concerns P-recovery in a pilot-scale side-stream reactor aerobic (activat...

Graph clustering becomes an important problem due to emerging applications involving the web, social networks and bio-informatics. Recently, many such applications generate data in the form of streams. Clustering massive, dynamic graph streams is significantly challenging because of the complex structures of graphs and computational difficulties of continuous data. Meanwhile, a large volume of ...

feasibility of methanolic wastes treatment containing chlorophenol in experimental uasb reactors i.e. r-i and r-ii working side by side constantly for a couple of almost 32 weeks were studied. uasb reactor r-i was initiated by utilizing the digested sludge alone, whereas, the uasb reactor r-ii was startedup by adding an activated carbon of an effective size 1.5-2.5mm to the digested sludge with...

The coupling of reactions in catalytic membrane reactors provides novel reactor configurations that allow shifting the thermodynamic equilibrium and yields of thermodynamically limited reactions and enhancing significantly the rate of production. An interesting pair to couple is the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene and the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline. Hydrogen produced in...
