Mass transfer from slurry adsorbent to ion exchange resin.

Slurry Reactor: Mass Transfer Considerations

The bioreduction of solid TNT by a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain was investigated in a stirred tank reactor. Experiments in which TNT beads were the only solids present indicated that the biodegradation mechanism is dissolution followed by degradation in bulk solution. Dissolution may limit the overall rate, in which case degradation can be enhanced through increased agitation. Since soil slur...

Biodiesel Purification using an Ion Exchange/Adsorbent Resin with Regeneration through Supercritical Fluids

The glycerol desorption from the ion exchange and adsorbent resin Purolite PD206 was studied using conventional and supercritical fluids techniques. Untreated biodiesel was purified by dry washing using the resin and, after purification, the glycerol desorption was carry out using three diferent solvents: absolute ethanol under atmospheric conditions at different mass flows (10 and 30 g/min), o...

Ion Exchange Adsorption of Molybdenum with Zeolitic Adsorbent

Zeolitic adsorbents have been developed for molybdenum recovery from various sources. The batchwise adsorption ability of molybdenum ion (Mo) with zeolite A type adsorbent could be improved when the counter cation (Na) was exchanged by divalent ions (Sr and Ca), while no significant difference was observed in the case of zeolite X type adsorbent. The adsorption ability for Mo was therefore base...

Extraction of Carbon Dioxide from Sea water by Ion Exchange Resin Part II: Using Strong Base Anion Exchange Resin

Uranium Removal from Aqueous Solution Using Ion-Exchange Resin DOWEX® 2x8 in the Presence of Sulfate Anions

The current study was attributed to uranium (VI) ions adsorption using a anion exchanger resin, Dowex®2x8, in the presence of sulfate anions. Evaluation of operational parameters including contact time, pH, initial concentration of uranium ions, and presence of various anions (including phosphate, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, and nitrate) in the solution was assessed on sorption performance of ...
