Wet scrubbers are one of the most important air-pollution control devices (APCDs) for the simultaneous removal of various acidic gases and particulates. This study was conducted on a lab-scale self-designed wet scrubber (WSB) system for the treatment of particle-bound water-soluble ions emitted from cooking fumes with/without adding bio-solution (namely, NOE-7F). The concentration and compositi...

INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic wave interaction with materials containing water at microwave frequencies is dominated by water [1]. Water is an important component of many biological and nonbiological materials. It is sometime divided into two categories: free water and bound water. From an electrical standpoint, behavior of free water is well described by the Debye dielectric model [1] with a si...

1. The criticisms by Grollman (7) of the cryoscopic method for the determination of bound water as proposed by Newton and Gortner (1) have been considered, and it is pointed out that even admitting the correctness of his contentions does not negative the conclusion that bound water values as determined by the cryoscopic method parallel in a remarkable manner the physiological responses of plant...
