CO2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. To test a new solvent (AIT600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. This paper presents the results of studies ...

Liu et al. (1987) proposed a theoretical solution for scattering of waves through a permeable dissipation region. On the basis of bulk dissipation of the incident wave energy, this method is extended to evaluate the reflection and transmission coefficients of waves through a wave filter composed of rows of perforated sheets aligned normally to the direction of wave propagation. The results of t...

In the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (ConCap tray) have been carried out. The ConCap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. The effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the ConCap tray was measured, compared and correlated. The hydraulic experiments w...

A series of 8 new complexes of titanium and zirconium with diamido ligands bearing an ethylene and propylene bridge between the two amido groups were synthesized and tested for ethylene polymerization. Titanium complexes bearing an ethylene bridge between the two amido groups showed higher activities than the derivatives with a propylene bridge. In the case of the zirconium complexes, the p...

admission of failure, there is a definite psychologic advantage in change. The use of skimmed, powdered, evaporated, protein, on acidified milk is also occasionally helpful in colic. During the neonatal period, the experienced pediatrician can often recognize the characteristics in an apprehensive mother that will result in a colicky baby. Family tension is undoubtedly a fairly common cause, an...
