This study presents the application of artificial neural network for modeling the phenolic compound migration through vertical soil column. A three layered feed forward neural network with back propagation training algorithm was developed using forty eight experimental data sets obtained from laboratory fixed bed vertical column tests. The input parameters used in the model were the influent co...

Study of liquid behavior in an expanded bed adsorption (EBA) system is important for understanding, modeling and predicting nanobioproduct/biomolecule adsorption performance in such processes. In this work, in order to analyze the local axial dispersion parameters, simple custom NBG (Nano Biotechnology Group) expanded bed columns with 10 and 26 mm inner diameter were modified by insertion of sa...

The aim of this work is to design a fixed-bed column with vegetal biomass Eichhornia crassipes and the process recycling it for treatment via adsorption water loaded chromium (VI). In first stage, relationship between density microparticle calculated, giving model fixed bed. Using model, two systems Cr (VI)-contaminated were designed built. vegetable at three particle diameters 0.212 mm, 0.30 m...

ADSORPTION OF COPPER(II) BY PEANUT HULLS IN A FIXED-BED, CONTINUOUS FLOW COLUMN Tyler Stephen Cook, Masters of Science in Chemistry Western Carolina University (April 2017) Advisor: Dr. Carmen L. Huffman Heavy metal pollution is an important concern due to its adverse health and environmental effects. Biosorption is a way to remove heavy metals from aqueous systems with the use of biomaterials....
