The purification of wastewater is preferred using the adsorption by column due to process’s high efficiency. Column investigations are performed remove hazardous pollutants and demonstrate efficiency in treatment process. Cadmium zinc exist radioactive industrial wastes. Therefore, this work interested cadmium removal from utilising a fixed-bed column. Zirconia–silicate composite (ZrO2–SiO2) wa...

Arsenic (As(V)), a highly toxic metalloid, is known to contaminate wastewater and groundwater difficult degrade in nature. However, the development of efficient adsorbents, at low cost for use practical applications, remains challenging. Thus, investigate As(V) adsorption mechanism, novel porous α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4/C composite (PC-Fe/C-B) was prepared, using bamboo side shoots as bio-template, breakt...

Entrainment of underlying debris by geophysical flows can significantly increase the flow deposit extent. To study this phenomenon, analog laboratory experiments have been conducted on granular column collapse over an inclined channel with and without an erodible bed made of similar granular material. Results show that for slope angles below a critical value θc, between 10◦ and 16◦, the run out...

in this paper, modeling and optimization of fischer-tropsch synthesis is considered in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor using an industrial fe-cu-k catalyst. a one dimensional pseudo-homogenous plug flow model without axial dispersion is developed for converting syngas to heavy hydrocarbons. the effects of temperature, pressure, h2 to co ratio in feed stream, and co molar flow on the mass flow rat...

For a multicomponent competitive adsorption of furfural and phenolic compounds, a mathematical model was builtto describe the mass transfer kinetics in a fixed bed column with activated carbon. The effects of competitive adsorption equilibrium constant, axial dispersion, external mass transfer, and intraparticle diffusion resistance on the breakthrough curve were studied for weakly adsorbed com...

The main objective of this research is stability determination of activated carbon adsorbent at fixed bed adsorption column for desulfurization of diesel fuel by mathematical modeling. This model is based on mass balances. Equations that are the outcome of mass balances are known as the second degree of partial differential equations, and they must be solved together simultaneously...

the used activated carbon was derived from pine-cone and was used for the removal of acid black 1(ab1) and acid blue 113(ab113) dyes. a batch sorption study was carried out in order to obtain optimum isotherm model. the study showed the best fit of the adsorption isotherm data was obtained using the langmuir model for both dyes. the monolayer maximum saturation capacities of ab1 and ab113 dyes ...

Modeling of the mass transfer zone behavior under variable conditions in a flow-through fixed-bed sorption column enabled the prediction of breakthrough curves for Cu2+ and Ca-preloaded Sargassum fluitans biomass. The mass transfer resistance, particle diffusion, and the axial dispersion were incorporated in the model. The dynamics of the mass transfer zone was described under variable sorption...
