Cr (III) removal from aqueous solutions by sorption in a fixed bed column filled with alizarin S impregnated hemp fibers has been studied. The effect of the initial metal ion concentration on the Cr (III) sorption process was investigated and the experimental breakthrough curves were obtained. The breakthrough time and saturation time decreased from 110 min to 80 min and from 300 min to 160 min...

Top-and-seat angle connections are a conventional type of steel moment connection. However, their capacity in accommodating columns loss is rarely studied. In this study, five multistory subframes using top-and-seat were fabricated and tested to investigate performance while subjected various column-removal scenarios, including: (1) middle column loss, (2) penultimate (3) corner loss. Moreover,...

textile industry is the major source of water consumption and wastewater pollution.there are various treatment techniques to remove textile wastewater pollution. coagulationflocculation is a widely used process to remove pollution due to suspended particles. in this research, different coagulants like alum, lime, fecl3, feso4 and mgcl2 were applied to select the suitable ones with optimum remov...

Researchers awarded a considerable attention to progressive collapse analysis in recent years avoid the partial or entire failure of structures. General Service Administration guidelines (GSA) established base deal with such catastrophic failure. For multi-story building, these proposed column removal scenario which one more columns different locations should be removed from structure. Then, re...

in this paper, load and buckling mode of a smart column are presented. the theoretical model is a three-layer piezoelectric composite beam that behaves as an axial actuating mechanism. this actuator consists of an elastic core sandwiched between two piezoelectric active outer layers. the piezoelectric layers are polarized transversely, i.e., the polarization vector is parallel to the applied el...

fertilizer plant waste carbon slurry has been investigated after some processing as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes and phenols using columns. the results show that the carbonaceous adsorbent prepared from carbon slurry being porous and having appreciable surface area (380 m2/g) can remove dyes both cationic (meldola blue, methylene blue, chrysoidine g, crystal violet) as well as anionic (...

Trace organic compounds (TrOCs), mostly found in secondary effluents, have a potential impact on the environment, affecting surface water, groundwater, and especially aquatic ecosystems. The present study focuses on oxidation of five selected TrOCs in column experiments, by simulating Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) integrated with Fenton-like reaction, using Granular Ferric Hydroxide (GFH) as a c...

A technique is presented that can be used to estimate the changes in physical structure in a natural biofilter packing medium, such as compost, over time. The technique applies information from tracer studies, grain size distribution, and pressure drop analysis to a model that estimates the number of channels, average channel diameter, number of particles, and specific surface area of the mediu...
