Analysis of Continuous Agitated Reactor

Bifurcation analysis of continuous biochemical reactor models.

The validity of a biochemical reactor model often is evaluated by comparing transient responses to experimental data. Dynamic simulation can be a rather inefficient and ineffective tool for analyzing bioreactor models that exhibit complex nonlinear behavior. Bifurcation analysis is a powerful tool for obtaining a more efficient and complete characterization of the model behavior. To illustrate ...

Kinetics of Propane Hydrate Formation in Agitated Reactor: A Mass Transfer Approach

Understanding the kinetics of gas hydrate formation is essential to model and predict the hydrate formation (or dissociation) process. In the present paper, we investigated the formation of pure propane gas hydrate as a former gas. In this regard, several experiments were conducted to measure the rate of hydrate formation under various pressures (410 to 510 kPa) and temperatures (274 K to 277 K...

Electrochemical Regeneration of Various Graphitic Adsorbents in an Air Agitated Sequential Batch Reactor

With the aim to address the issues related to the regeneration of activated carbon used for wastewater treatment, a novel and state of the art water treatment technology (Arvia) was introduced at the University of Manchester, UK. This technology employs the adsorption of dissolved toxic pollutants present in water onto the surface of graphitic adsorbents followed by their quick and cheap electr...

Optimization of a Continuous Pulsed Corona Reactor

Pulsed corona discharge processes utilize chemical radicals and ions and highly reactive molecules produced from a high voltage pulsed electrical discharge that is sustained in an aqueous phase medium. Recently, such processes have been used for treating organic contaminants from wastewater. The principle objective of this work is to optimize the hydrogen peroxide needed in the flow reactor to ...
