Intensification of Paraxylene Production using a Simulated Moving Bed Reactor

The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor

A new biofilm reactor for wastewater treatment, the moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), is discussed. A general description of the reactor is given. Results from investigations of different applications (carbonaceous removal, nitrification and nitrogen removal) when used for municipal wastewater treatment, are discussed. Design values are given and it is demonstrated that use of this reactor res...

Enhancement of Hydrogen and Methanol Production using a Double Fluidized-bed Two Membranes Reactor

Nowadays, hydrogen and methanol are attractive prospects because of lower emission compared to the other energy sources and their special application in fuel cell technology, which are now widely regarded as key energy solution for the 21st century. These two chemicals also can be utilized in transportation, distributed heat and power generation and energy storage systems. In this study, a nove...
