the modified surface of typha latifolia l. root (mstl), as an alternative economical adsorbent, wasused for the removal of ni (ii) and cd(ii) ions from aqueous solutions. the effect of initial ph, initialconcentration of metal ion, and contact time was investigated in a batch system at room temperature.the kinetics data could be fitted well by pseudo-second-order model with correlation coeffici...

the kinetic of photo oxidative decolorization of c.i. acid yellow 23 (ay23) was investigated in uv/ process. the semi-logarithmic of the concentrations of ay23 versus irradiation time were linear, suggesting pseudo-first order reaction. a simple kinetic model is proposed which confirms pseudo- first order reaction. the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant is a function of l...

this study is focused on the development of a systematic computational approach which implements genetic algorithm (ga) to find the optimal rigorous kinetic models.a general kinetic model for hydrogenolysis of dibenzothiophene (dbt) based on langmuir-hinshelwood type has been obtained from open literature. this model consists of eight continuous parameters(e.g., arrhenus  and van't hoff paramet...

mathematical modeling and simulation of microbial polyhydroxybutyrate (phb) production process is beneficial for optimization, design, and control purposes. in this study a batch model developed by mulchandani et al., [1] was used to simulate the process in matlab environment. it was revealed that the kinetic model parameters were estimated off the optimal or at a local optimal point. therefore...

a mathematical model for commercial naphtha catalytic reformer of tehran refinery was developed. this model includes three sequencing fixed beds of pt/al2o3 catalyst at the steady state condition using detailed kinetic scheme involving 26 pseudo-components connected by a network of 47 reactions, in the range of c6 to c9 hydrocarbons. the reaction network consisted dehydrogenation, hydrogenation...

Modeling and simulation of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by Protomonas extorquens in fed-batch culture were conducted in this research. The fed-batch model, developed for this process, employed a kinetic model proposed by other researchers. Several kinetic models were investigated to choose the best model. The criterion for this selection was goodness of fit (δ2). Haldane kinetic model w...

the kinetic of fischer-tropsch synthesis over a co-precipitated fe-ce catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed micro reactor. experimental conditions were varied as follow: reaction pressure 1-15bar, h¬¬¬2/co feed ratio of 1-3 and space velocity of 3600-5400 h-1 at the temperature range of 270-310°c. 4 models according to the langmuir-hinshelwood-hougen-watson (lhhw) type rate equation were der...

the removal of uranium and any other heavy metals from wastewater might be achieved via several chemical or physical treatment techniques. biosorption process has been considered as a potential alternative way to remove contaminants from industrial effluents. moreover the surface of biosorbent was characterized by sem. the biosorption characteristics of uranium (vi) on pretreated a. niger were ...

industrial wastewater included the dyes one of the important sources of environmental pollution that founded in loom wastewater which are harmful for human health and environment. therefore, the purpose of this research was investigated removal of rb5 dye from aqueous solution by using of adsorption onto activated red mud as an cheap adsorbent. this research was experimental- laboratorial study...

this paper considers a class of one-dimensional solidification problem in which kinetic undercooling is incorporated into the temperature condition at the interface. a model problem with nonlinear kinetic law is considered. the main result is an existence theorem. the mathematical effects of the kinetic term are discussed
