The wastewater characteristics and some operational control parameters limit the efficiency of attached growth processes for petrochemical treatment. This study aims to determine a hybrid biological reactor treating actual identify determining factors. An up-flow filled with bio-career was operated at two flow rates, dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, under anaerobic conditions. Due varying wastewat...

Until the pure fusion ages come true, present nuclear power is a crucial option if humanity takes aim for zero net carbon society by 2050s. A thorium subcritical reactor activated and controlled muon-catalyzed (MuCF) an alternative until completion of reactors. This proposal consists two main technologies: steady-state MuCF fission with cascaded neutron multipliers. It will be environmentally f...

plug-flow digesters with periodic loading mechanism are more enthusiastic than fully mechanized digestion plants for the majority of small or medium scale farms according to the costs and operational complexities. a dual-compartment plug-flow reactor equipped with a passive heating system was designed and experimentally operated by purpose of demonstrating a simple and low cost technology for ...

The anaerobic treatment of wastewater from the household and personal products industry was studied using a 16.3 L hybrid reactor (UASB and biofilter). The top of the UASB reactor was filled with coconut shells to act as the support material for the biofilter. The wastewater was characterized in terms of pH (1.0 – 12.0), COD (1,000 – 5,000 mg/L), BOD5 (700 – 1,500 mg/L), chloride (55 – 850 mg/L...

Mineralization of gaseous chlorobenzene (major VOC from cement plants) was studied in a continuous reactor using three advanced oxidation processes: (i) photocatalysis, (ii) Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma and (iii) DBD/TiO2-UV coupling. The work showed an overproduction OH * O radicals the reaction medium due to interaction Cl O3. A parametric study carried out order determine evolut...

A linearly anticipatory agent architecture for learning in multi-agent systems is presented. It integrates low-level reaction with high-level deliberation by embedding an ordinary reactive system based on situation-action rules, called the Reactor, in an anticipatory agent forming a layered hybrid architecture. By treating all agents in the domain (itself included) as being reactive, this appro...
