background: the modeling aims to simulate or optimize a process in physical, chemical or biological environments and the derived model will provide a considerable assistance to generate data and predict unknown condition, in case of sufficient suitability. unsuitable disposal and elimination of waste tires have polluted the environment and human life areas, it also have caused removal of a huge...

ethyl benzene used increasingly each year is the raw material of producing styrene monomer. this substanceis produced from benzene alkylation with ethylene or ethanol, depending on the availability and cost of rawmaterials. in this study benzene alkylation in the presence of ethanol in a catalytic fixed bed reactor inthree states of isotherm, adiabatic and non-isotherm-non-adiabatic is mathemat...

the effect of hydraulic retention time in a range from 1.0-5.5 days was evaluated in a laboratoryscaleanaerobic fixed bed reactor packed with a hybrid material composed of tire rubber and zeolite. underthese conditions, cod removal efficiencies varied from 28.3% to 82.1%, respectively. over the more than 6months of operation, no clogging was observed. the results obtained demonstrated that this...

the potential of six economically cheap agricultural waste materials, viz. rice husk, betel nutpeels, sugarcane molasses, tea waste, mustard oil cake and saw dust, was investigated for copper and leadremoval from aqueous solutions under batch and continuous conditions. the effect of ph, contact time,sorbent dose and initial metal ion concentration on the uptake of copper and lead was first exam...

in this research, the selective oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride (man) in a fixed-bed reactor was studied. the gas phase catalytic oxidation of benzene was carried outin a laboratory scale fixed bed reactor on the catalysts, which were prepared having two different compositions on silica gel. the effects of temperature, flow rates of benzene and air, and catalyst type on the reaction se...

a mathematical model for commercial naphtha catalytic reformer of tehran refinery was developed. this model includes three sequencing fixed beds of pt/al2o3 catalyst at the steady state condition using detailed kinetic scheme involving 26 pseudo-components connected by a network of 47 reactions, in the range of c6 to c9 hydrocarbons. the reaction network consisted dehydrogenation, hydrogenation...

the adsorption of lead (11) and copper (11) in a fixed bed column using activated carbonprepared from nipa palm nut was investigated. thomas model and yoon and nelson kinetic models were used to analyze the column performance. the rate constant for thomas model increased with increase in flow rate and initial ion concentration but remained constant at varying bed height. adsorption capacity for...

the emerging contaminants are commonly derived from municipal, agricultural, and industrialwastewater sources and pathways. these compounds are polar and poorly biodegradable. the dynamicremoval of atenolol from aqueous solutions by activated carbon in fixed bed column systems was investigated. as far as we know, this is the first study reporting the decontamination by adsorption in fixed bed o...
