The waste tyres represent a source of energy and valuable hydrocarbon products. Waste tyres were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. The effects of basic catalysts (MgO and CaCO3) were studied on the pyrolysis products. The distribution ratio of gas, liquid and char with MgO and CaCO3 were 24.4:39.8:35.8 wt % and 32.5:32.2:35.2 wt % r...

the composition of the essential oils of teucrium chamaedrys l. belongs to the family lamiaceae, it is growing wild in the margin of mountainous roads of arid and cold climate of north iran. in this research, essential oils of teucrium chamaedrys l., extracted and measured at the different location by different methods of distillationand then were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. investigation and com...

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present in the influent water. This review considers the fundamental heat and mass transfer processes in membrane distillation, recent advances in membrane technology, module configurations, and the applications and economics...

for the gas stream in the distillation unit. Coagulation of the beer samples, especially when running a large number of samples, can arise in the distillation unit. Coagulation interferes with the smooth flow of sample through the distillation unit and gives erratic results. Coagulation was prevented by mixing the sample with a M potassium hydroxide solution (Figure 2) before pumping it into th...

background: thymus daenensis is on e of the endemic aromatic species in iran that its essential oil is used in food and pharmaceutical industries. objective: in this study, the effects of plant growth stages and distillation methods on essential oil content and thymol percentage of this species were evaluated. methods: the aerial parts of th. daenensis were collected in three stages of plant gr...

Forensic scientists use various techniques to separate accelerants from fire debris samples before instrumental identification of added fuels. Among the choices available, traditional micro-distillation, steam distillation, vacuum distillation, headspace, heated headspace, and several vapor adsorption/desorption methods provide various advantages and disadvantages. This communication reviews th...

The genus Boswellia is one of the 17 genera belonging to Burseraceae family. In this study resin of Boswellia carteri birdwoodcollected or purchased from Tehram herbal Market as a food and non-food for chemical analysis. The essential oils of the resins of Boswellia carteri birdwoodobtained by different methods of distillation (water distillation, steam distillation and hydro-steam distillation...

Abstract This paper presents the nonlinear dynamic analysis of an ideal two-reactant-two product reactive distillation. The impact of disturbance magnitudes and directions on openloop stability of the system is studied. An analysis of the physicochemical phenomena present in reactive distillation processes that, under certain operational conditions, causes special types of nonlinear behavior is...

Non-pinched, minimum energy solutions are important class of distillation designs that offer the potential advantage of a better trade-off between capital investment and operating costs. In this paper, two important tasks associated with non-pinched distillation designs are studied. Thus the novel contributions of this work to the literature are (1) A comprehensive methodology for finding non-p...
