New Measures of Separation Efficiency in a Solvent Extraction Process

Fuzzy Efficiency Measures in DEA: A New Approach based on Fuzzy DEA Approach with Double Frontiers

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to measure relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) which uses multiple inputs and produces multiple outputs. In the conventional DEA, crisp inputs and outputs are fundamentally necessary. But the observed values of inputs and outputs in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise. Thus, performance measurement often needs to be do...

Rice bran oil solvent extraction process pdf

Oil is obtained from rice bran, by the process of extraction with petroleum solvents, whereas the edible grade oil is the one refined by neutralisation with alkali.

Separation and Recovery Process for Rare Earth Metals from Fluorescence Material Wastes Using Solvent Extraction

The separation and recovery of rare earth metals from fluorescence material waste was investigated by using solvent extraction with 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester in kerosene. Extraction equilibrium expressions were established for the trivalent metals (La, Ce, Eu, Tb, Y and Al) and divalent metals (Ca, Sr and Ba) for both single and multi components systems. The process s...

Solvent extraction and separation of hafnium from zirconium using Ionquest

industries, its nuclear properties in the pure metallic form make it highly desirable for nuclear applications. Zr is highly corrosion resistant and has a high melting point (2128 K) with a low thermal neutron absorption cross-section of Zr T = 0.18 b, which is significantly smaller than that of hafnium Hf T =115 b) (Speer, 1982), an element that coexists with Zr in nature. This makes Zr ideal ...
