Introduction During combustion, the mercury (Hg) in coal is volatilized and converted to elemental mercury (Hg) vapor in the high temperature regions of coal-fired boilers. As the flue gas is cooled, a series of complex reactions begin to convert Hg to ionic mercury (Hg) compounds and/or Hg compounds (Hgp) that are in a solid-phase at flue gas cleaning temperatures or Hg that is adsorbed onto t...

Heat transfer phenomena in batch fluidized bed dryer have been studied and analyzed using three phase model including solid phase, interstitial gas phase and bubble phase based on Rizzi model. New correlations of heat transfer coefficient to surrounding and convection heat transfer coefficient between solid and interstitial gas are being proposed. In addition, some modifications have been d...

ered sulfur (30%) and sulfur glass (30%) give a better fit to the spectral features than do other candidate materials. We use chemical equilibrium calculations to model S2O forEarlier, Hapke (1989) proposed a mixture of solid S2O mation by high temperature thermochemical reactions in volcanic gases on Io. The calculations predict formation of 1–6% S2O with SO2 frost, polysulfur oxides (SxO)y , ...

A two fluid model (TFM) was used to study gas-solid heat transfer in a riser with different inclination angles. A two dimensional pipe with 5.8 cm internal diameter and 5 meter length was chosen.  Effect of bed angle and solid particles feed rate were studied on the heat transfer behavior of gas and solid particles. Obtained results from simulation are compared with the experimental data in the...

the direct sulfation of three high purity iranian limestones and one precipitated calcium carbonate from different sources, containing more than 97 % caco3, were studied in a specially designed fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure, in the presence of excess co2 to prevent decomposition of caco3. experiments were carried out over a range of particle sizes from 1.6-2.5  mm at four tempera...

background and objectives: the addition of plasticizers (mainly phthalates and adipates) makes plastic flexible and popular for packaging, storing and preserving food, water, and so on. the most widely used plasticizer in food contact applications is di-ethylhexyl phthalate (dehp) though being suspected to have carcinogenic and estrogenic properties. the aim of this study is application of magn...

carbon disulfide is used predominantly in the manufacture. it has affects the nervous system. in this study, the applicability of spme as a passive sampler for determination of carbon disulphide in air was studied. effect of sampler and environmental parameters on uptake of carbon disulphide was studied as well. four fibers were tested to select the best sampler for determine carbon disulfide i...

low-power lasers are a group of lasers with a power less than 250 mw and unlike high-power lasers they have no effect on tissue temperature; they produce light-dependent chemical reactions in tissues. these lasers have analgesic features with their ability to trigger reactions that reduce pain and inflammatory mediators. low-power lasers can also be used instead of needles in acupuncture to dec...

This article describes the synthesis of tungsten doped (W–TiO2) nanoparticles and their incorporation into a coating to improve air quality inside buildings. W–TiO2 was prepared using sol-gel route incorporating 1%, 2.5% 3% in TiO2. Coatings containing were produced water/alcohol liquid phase polyurethane binder applied surface medium density fibreboard (MDF). Photocatalytic activity unbound st...
