Patchouli is the largest non-oil export commodity among essential oil exports in Indonesia. However, quality of patchouli Indonesia considered to be very low. Traditional distillation carried out a small capacity and uses simple method based on large difference boiling points or one volatile components. This process produces poor such as acid number more than 8, dark oil, alcohol less 30%, high...

A factorial experimental design method was used to examine the “Cu” removal from acid mine drainage wastewater by ion exchange technique. Ion Exchange technique is preferred because of reduced sludge generation compared to conventional treatment techniques and better decontamination efficiency from highly diluted solutions. Factorial design of experiments is employed to study the effect of four...

Crystalline arsenobetaine hydrobromide is deposited directly on addition of trimethylarsine to a benzene solution of bromoacetic acid. The product is stable, non-deliquescent and may be readily converted into the free betaine by passage through basic ion exchange resin.

Spent radioactive ion-exchange resin (SIER) and evaporation concentrates are radioactive wastes that are produced at by pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power stations. Borate, which is used as a retardent for cement, is also present as a moderator in a PWR, therefore, borate will be present in both ion-exchange resins and evaporation concentrates. In this study the use of Calcium sulfoa...

The raw water of water treatment works ‘the Blankaart’ (Belgium) is characterized by high levels of NOM and alkalinity. From 2006 until present, the possibility of applying fluidized ion exchange for NOM removal at the Blankaart plant has been investigated. Although the efficiency of ion exchange with respect to NOM removal has already been demonstrated by numerous studies on a wide range of ra...

A new approach to the separation of radiophosphorus from sulfur has been found which makes a unique use of ion exchange resins. Separations using resin columns are especially suited to problems involving radioactivity since they require a minimum of handling.

The solid-phase chemiluminescence analysis of gold on the surface of an anion-exchange resin was studied. A method for the fast determination of gold using flow injection was established. The anion-exchange resin was used as an adsorbent of gold ion in the form of AuCl4-. The cation-exchange resin was used for the on-line separation of cations in the matrix. To obtain the best results, the prec...

Two polymeric anion-exchange resins and one sorbent resin were evaluated for their propensity to adsorb, and subsequently desorb, oryzalin. The intent was to determine whether these resins could adsorb and subsequently release oryzalin in a manner that would render these resins as an option for slow-release herbicide delivery. The dinitroaniline herbicide oryzalin is weakly acidic with a dissoc...
