membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...

the available experiments and reports of executed projects in iranian research centers and universities show that the ability of know-how development of chemical and petrochemical synthesis as well as their required catalyst is existed in laboratory scale. although, know-how development in larger scale is possible, too but no certain scientific and classified method has been explained which is ...

This study describes how scale-up in countercurrent chromatography (CCC) can be simply predicted on a process scale CCC device by running a preliminary analytical-sized sample and having knowledge of the stationary-phase retention at scale-up conditions. Results have shown that simple experimentation can lead within a day to a process with the capability of several kilograms per day (tons per y...
