This study evaluated the CO2 sequestration potential with combustion ashes in aqueous phase. The aim was to provide a cost-effective carbon method for unit operators (flue gas cleaning) or biogas producers (biogas upgrading). Therefore, two separate test series were executed identify carbonation efficiency (CE) of bottom wood ash (1) at different mixing ratios water batch experiments and (2) un...

Textile wastewater contains substantial pollution loads in terms of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and heavy metals. Phytoremediation used for removing heavy metals and other pollutants by aquatic macrophytes treatment systems (AMATS) is well established environmental protective technique. A lab scale stud...

Traditional experimental paradigms have focused on executing experiments in a lab setting and eventually moving successful findings to larger experiments in the field. However, data from field experiments can also be used to inform new lab experiments. Now, with the advent of large student populations using internetbased learning software, online experiments can serve as a third setting for exp...

This study discusses the retention of Ni(II) by Arthrobacter viscosus supported on zeolite 13 X in batch mode and in continuous mode, at laboratory scale and at pilot scale. The maximum adsorption capacities of 28.37, 20.21 and 11.13 mg/g were recorded for lab scale batch, for continuous lab scale minicolumns and for pilot scale bioreactors, respectively. The Sips isotherm and pseudo second ord...

The ability of terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) to be employed as an analytical tool for monitoring a film coating unit operation and to assess the success of a subsequent process scale-up was explored in this study. As part of a process scale-up development, a total of 190 sustained-release tablets were sampled at 10% increments of the amount of polymer applied, from a lab-scale and a pilot-scal...

The aim of this project is to develop methods for scaling up roller compaction process from lab scale to pilot scale, to determine the effect of processing parameters of roller compactors at both lab scale (instrumented roller compactor at University of Birmingham, micro-pactor at Pfizer) and pilot scale (mini-pactor from Gerteis) on the attributes of dry-granulated formulations, including the ...

A significant challenge in mineral raw materials comminution is the improvement of process energy efficiency. Conventional techniques, although globally used, are far from being considered power-efficient. The use high-voltage electric pulses a concept that worthy study; despite its lack industrial-scale validation after several decades lab-scale research, it seems promising as pretreatment lea...
