Investigation of formaldehyde removal from synthetic contaminated air by using human hair
Background: Human hair can be used as an inexpensive and accessible adsorbent to remove a variety of pollutants from air. Although several studies have been done on removal of formaldehyde from wastewater by human hair, to date no study has investigated using hair to remove formaldehyde from air. Therefore, the aim of this study was to remove formaldehyde from synthetic contaminated a...
متن کاملRemoval of Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted from a Manufacturer of Opto-electronic Apparatus by a Trickle-bed Air Biofilter
The goal of this study is to investigate the performance of a pilot-scale trickle-bed air biofilter (TBAB) for treating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from a manufacturer of optoelectronic apparatus. Different empty-bed residence times (EBRTs) of 90, 60, 30, 20 and 15 s were evaluated. Greater than 90% VOC removal efficiencies were achieved at EBRTs longer than 20 s. EBRTs of 20-30s ...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Trickle Bed Air Biofilter for Removal of VOCs
In this study, a mathematical model is proposed which incorporates mass transfer process and biofilm reactions in trickle bed air biofilter (TBAB). The model consists of a set of mass balance equations for isopropyl alcohol (IPA), acetone (ACE) and oxygen within the bulk gas phase and within the biofilm. These set of ordinary differential equations are converted into non-dimensionalised form an...
متن کاملHydrodynamic characterization of a trickle bed air biofilter
This paper reports the effect of superficial liquid mass flow rate and bed void fraction on the pressure drop, dynamic liquid hold-up, mean liquid residence time and biofilm wetting, in a co-current down-flow xylene-removing trickle bed air biofilter (TBAB). The gas–liquid pressure drop increased with liquid mass flow rate and it also increased with diminishing bed void fraction, the effect bei...
متن کاملremoval of ammonia from air, using three iranian natural zeolites
ammonia in air can be hazardous to human and animal life and should be removed from the environment. recently the removal of environmental pollutants such as ammonia by means of natural and modified zeolites has attracted a lot of attention and interests. in this study the capability of three iranian natural zeolites (clinoptilolite) in point of view of removal of ammonia from air was investiga...
