This review presents a comprehensive summary on applications of anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) technology for industrial wastewaters in view of different aspects including treatability and filterability. AnMBRs present an attractive option for the treatment of industrial wastewaters at extreme conditions, such as high salinity, high temperature, high suspended solids concentrations, and ...

A complete ischemic stroke is associated with a significant hemorheologic disturbance leading to a rise of the viscous component of the peripheral resistance. This abnormality represents a consequence of the acute event. Nonetheless, it could be causally related to ischemia. In an attempt to clarify this question, 26 patients suffering from transient ischemic attacks were compared with controls...

Cyanate is undergoing study as a drug to prevent occlusive sickle cell crises. Carbamylation of hemoglobin S increases its oxygen affinity, thereby decreasing its tendency to aggregate at low oxygen tensions. The cell membrane has also been shown to be carbamylated. We studied the effect of carbamylation on deformability of sickle, normal, and stored normal erythrocytes. Deformability was measu...

The goal of the present thesis was to study the possibilities of producing an aluminium hydroxide, which would easily dissolve in hydrochloric acid. Furthermore, the product should be easy to dewater. In the experiments, which were made batch-wise, a 50% sodium hydroxide was used to accomplish the precipitation. The precipitation of aluminium hydroxide is a dynamic process that depends on many ...

ypertension is 1 of the greatest causes of cardiac events in many countries. In this field, hemorheology has been attracting less attention relative to vascular medicine. However, the deformability of erythrocytes, a major concept in hemorheology, plays a key role in the impaired microcirculation of hypertension.1 The concept of erythrocyte deformability has no strict definition as a physical q...

A study has been initiated to review syrup clarification technology, with the objective of finding methods of improving syrup clarification, including chemical addition, and with special reference to aeration and flocculation problems. Preliminary results suggest that significant improvements to raw sugar quality are possible, particularly filterability. The review to-date is presented, with re...

The Modified C.S.R. Test It was decided to deve lo~ a filterabilitv test incorporating the best features bf the two existing tests, and to compare results obtained by the new method with those obtained by the bomb method and the C.S.R. test at 20" C. To overcome sampling problems it was decided that results should be grouped on a monthly basis. Details of the modified C.S.R. method appear in th...

This report is focused on comparative analysis of the impact using biodiesel blends containing more than 30% in diesel engine filtration systems. The objective this study to support sustainability mandatory utilization program by 30%. To evaluate filterability behavior high-percentage blends, namely B30 and B40 (30 40%-vol fuel), employed ASTM D 2068 Filter Blocking Tendency (FBT). After filter...

The growth of the lithium-ion battery industry requires a secure supply raw materials and appropriate end-of-life management batteries. In almost five years, global cobalt consumption has increased by nearly 30%, driven mainly rechargeable Consequently, several risks have been identified for cobalt, in particular growing demand electric vehicles, which could exceed current production. Therefore...
