Lithium extraction from salt lake brine with a high mass ratio of Mg/Li by counter-current method using TBP-DIBK system was investigated in this study. In the process, TBP and DIBK acted as extractant, kerosene used diluent, FeCl3 co-extractant. The operation conditions extraction, scrubbing, stripping, regeneration were investigated. study, 5.5 mol/L LiCl + 0.5 HCl scrubbing solution for purif...

The extraction of thorium from aqueous solution was studied using the organic extractant trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) dissolved in cyclohexane. The parameters affecting the extraction, determination and stripping of Th (IV) included type of extractant, shaking time, extractant concentration, pH, aqueous to organic phase ratio (A/O), temperature, certain interfering ions and stripping agents....

INTRODUCTION In this in-vitro study, we aimed to investigate the predictability of the expected amount of stripping using 3 common stripping devices on premolars. METHODS One hundred eighty extracted premolars were mounted and aligned in silicone. Tooth mobility was tested with Periotest (Medizintechnik Gulden, Modautal, Germany) (8.3 ± 2.8 units). The selected methods for interproximal ename...

Extraction of lactic acid by emulsion liquid membrane technology (ELM) using n-trioctyl amine (TOA) in n-heptane as carrier within the organic membrane along with sodium carbonate as acceptor phase was optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM). A three level Box-Behnken design was employed for experimental design, analysis of the results and to depict the combined effect of five ind...

We have developed two significant modifications to conventional airstripping of MTBE from contaminated groundwater. The first modification involves application of thermodynamic principles to improve by at least a factor of three the overall mass transfer efficiency, obtaining very high removal efficiencies, using a combination of higher operating temperatures (40-60 C) and vacuum pressures (fro...

In this study, a technical scheme of an ammonium recovery process from diluted municipal or industrial wastewaters was developed, and the main operational parameters adsorption/desorption air-stripping/acid-scrubbing membrane units were examined. The proposed approach combines removal nitrogen by ion-exchange mechanism on metakaolin-based geopolymers (MKGPs) followed adsorbent regeneration. A r...

liquid membrane processes have attracted many interests in recent years for removal of heavy metals such as cadmium from industrial wastewaters. in this study, a modified hybrid liquid membrane system is introduced. the setup is worked by applying the water-insoluble dioctyl phthalate as the organic solvent. n-octanol and tetra butyl ammonium bromide are added to the organic phase to increase t...

Two experiments were conducted to compare techniques to maximise the amount of milk harvested mechanically from Poll Dorset ewes. The treatments were double cupping, machine stripping, Sagi hook, a negative control (no extra stripping applied) and a positive control (residual milk withdrawn after injecting 5 IU of oxytocin). In the first experiment it was shown that the amount of milk collected...

Superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) has been used for the treatment of occlusive cerebrovascular disease including moyamoya disease. The effect of STA-MCA bypass depends not only on the patency of anastomosis, but also on integrity and functional capacity of the donor artery. In the present prospective study, we investigated the effect of extensive stripping STA adventi...
