To achieve accurate results, current nonlinear elastic recovery applications of finite element (FE) analysis have become more complicated for sheet metal springback prediction. In this paper, an alternative modelling method able to facilitate nonlinear recovery was developed for springback prediction. The nonlinear elastic recovery was processed using back-propagation networks in an artificial ...

This paper presents a unique approach for magnesium dosage in struvite precipitation by Mg metal corrosion. The experimental results showed that using an air bubbling column filled with Mg metal and graphite pellets for the magnesium dosage was the optimal operation mode, which could significantly accelerate the corrosion of the Mg metal pellets due to the presence of graphite granules. The rea...

There has been increasing environmental concerns on the metallic pollution in recent decades. The conventional technologies used for metal extraction are ion-exchange resins, polymer ultrafiltration and microemulsion. The whole extraction mechanism can be divided into 4 steps: 1) The binding of dissolved metal to active sites, 2) Separation of the metal load extractant from the lean phase, 3) R...

BACKGROUND Cannabis sativa L. is one of the illicit drug bearing plants. Cannabis products are the most widely trafficked drugs worldwide. The highest levels of cannabis production in the world take place in the African continent. A small volume of cannabis is produced in rural areas of Ethiopia, of which a small portion is exported to neighboring countries and the majority is consumed at home....

Microbial cells have been successfully used as biosorbents to remove heavy metals from wastewater. In some cases, dead cells appear to offer more advantages than living cells in the removal and recovery of heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater. Maintaining higher biosorption capability and understanding t...

this paper is a preliminary communication of a study on removal and recovery of heavy metalsfrom industrial waste waters using electro-coagulation (ec) technique. the larger study envisages use of solarenergy for producing the d.c. current, and simple chemical methods of standard methods in chemistry like useof hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulfide, collection of precipitate, incineration and get...

Fuel oil used in power plants contain metal impurities like Vanadium. After combustion, this metal remains in boiler fuel ash in the form of oxide. In this research, extraction of Vanadium oxide from fuel ash has been investigated. Two processes were used for this purpose. A pyro- hydrometallurgy and a hydrometallurgy process. In the pyro-hydrometallurgy process, using sodium carbonate, salt ro...

BACKGROUND This work develops a simplified mathematical model to predict the performance of bioelectrochemical system (BES), first working as microbial fuel cell (MFC) and then electrolysis (MEC), for recovery dissolved metals (Fe, Cu, Sn, Ni) from simulated industrial wastewater. Experimental data previous were used starting points modelling. Wastewater was catholyte contained Cu2+ Fe3+ (500 m...

The widespread occurrence of metals in water bodies has been fueling the development platforms for removing and recovering these elements. Biosorption emerged as a potential tool metal...
