Nitrite accumulation in shrimp ponds can pose serious adverse effects to shrimp production and the environment. This study aims to develop an effective process for the enrichment of ready-to-use nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) inocula that would be appropriate for nitrite removal in brackish shrimp ponds. To achieve this objective, the effects of nitrite concentrations on NOB communities and n...

SUMMARY In order to decrease the risk of eutrophication in natural water bodies, the requirements for wastewater treatment plants' (WWTPs) discharge has become stricter than previously. Around 15-20% of the nitrogen load in the mainstream comes fro...

Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) make up for a large part of the total worldwide polymer production. Originally, both polymers were often produced in solution processes. However, fluidized bed reactors for polyethylene and polypropylene production gain increasing industrial interest because of the relatively low production costs, the ability to produce a wide range of polymer grades, an...

Double heterogeneity of randomly located pebbles in the core and Coated Fuel Particles (CFPs) in the pebbles are specific features in pebble bed reactors and usually, because of difficulty to model with MCNP code capabilities, are neglected. In this study, characteristics of HTR-10, Tsinghua University research reactor, are used and not only double heterogeneous but also truncated CFPs and Pebb...

Abstraet---A new development in the field of internals in packed columns is the use of structured packing types. Recently, a new structured packing type coated with a thin alumina layer (KATAPAK rM) has been developed, in this report, the results of an experimental and theoretical study concerning the possible applicability of this new packing material for hydrogenation processes in a trickle-b...

This study aims to incorporate most recent multiphase models in order to investigate the hydrodynamic behaviour of a TBR in terms of pressure drop, liquid holdup and catalyst wetting efficiency. Taking into account transport phenomena such as mass and heat transfer, an Eulerian k-fluid model was developed resulting from the volume averaging of the continuity and momentum equations and solved fo...

The application of nitrification-denitrification over nitrite (nitritation-denitritation) with municipal (i.e. diluted and cold (or low-temperature)) wastewater can substantially improve the energy balance of municipal wastewater treatment plants. For the accumulation of nitrite, it is crucial to inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) with simultaneous proliferation of ammonium-oxidizing bact...

Grignard reagent formation in continuously operated magnesium packed-bed reactors can be influenced by finetuning the residence time distribution within packing. By decreasing turning size and increasing...
