background: bisphenol a (bpa) is one of the hazardous materials causing disruption of endocrine pathways. due to water contamination by this component from multiple sources and the associated health problems, bpa has been the focus of multiple studies. it has been proved that bpa may cause harm because of its impact on estrogenic receptors in human and other organisms. methods: in this study, t...

in this paper, the possibility of using a new ordered nanoporous carbon as a new fiber in headspace solid phase microextraction (hs-spme) to determine of mononitrotoluenes (mnts) in waste water is demonstrated. the structural order and textural properties of the ordered nanoporous carbon were studied by x ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) images and nitrogen adsorption i...

The article presents a plasma chemical technology for processing solid fuels, using examples of bituminous and brown coals. Thermodynamic and experimental investigation of the technology was made. The technology allows producing synthesis gas from the coal organic mass and valuable components (technical silicon, ferrosilicon, aluminum, and carbon silicon, as well as microelements of rare metals...

We developed solid dispersions, using the gas anti-solvent technique (GAS), to improve the oral bioavailability of the poorly water-soluble active component oridonin. The solubility of oridonin in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured under various pressures and temperatures. To prepare oridonin solid dispersions using the GAS technique, ethanol was used as the solvent, CO(2) was used as th...

Abstract The effect of the solid–wall boundary condition on the segregation behavior of a sand ternary mixture differing in size but having the same proportion has been investigated in a gas–solid bubbling fluidized bed. A multi-fluid computational fluid dynamics model incorporating the kinetic theory of granular flow has been used. The mass fraction profiles of the different-sized partic...

Abstract: The Thermoselect process is a completely new solid waste treatment process which achieves pollution-free recycling of municipal solid waste and industrial waste by a high temperature gasification and reforming process. The process effectively recovers fuel gas from waste and recycles metal and other byproducts as resources. A stable gas engine power generation system using purified sy...

Sanitary landfill is the common strategy for municipal solid waste management in developing countries. Anaerobic decomposition of disposed wastes in landfill under favorable conditions will lead to the landfill gas (LFG) emissions, considering as emerging air pollutants. The emission of greenhouse gases, including methane, resulting from municipal solid waste disposal and treatment processes ar...

We propose the rarefied-gas-cushion model (r-GCM), as an extended version of the gas-cushion model (GCM), to estimate the apparent slip of water flowing over a gas layer trapped at a solid surface. Nanobubbles or gas nanofilms may manifest rarefied-gas effects and the r-GCM incorporates kinetic boundary conditions for the gas component in the slip Knudsen regime. These enable an apparent hydrod...

Heterogeneous gas-solid reactions play an important role in a wide variety of engineering problems. Accurate numerical modeling is essential in order to correctly interpret experimental measurements, leading to developing a better understanding and design of industrial scale processes. The exothermic nature of gas-solid reactions results in large concentration and temperature gradients, leading...
