A model of the concentrations of suspended solids (SS) in the aeration tanks and in the effluent from these during Aeration tank settling (ATS) operation is established. The model is based on simple SS mass balances, a model of the sludge settling and a simple model of how the SS concentration in the effluent from the aeration tanks depends on the actual concentrations in the tanks and the slud...

2. The dissolved-phase fraction (fdissolved) is a function of the characteristics and level of suspended solids and dissolved organic matter, which may be estimated from the following relationship, where [SS] is suspended solid content, [DOC] is DOC concentration, kd is partition coefficient between the dissolved phase and the suspended solids, and kDOC is the partition coefficient between the ...

the quality of wastewater generated in any process industry is generally indicated by performance itrace metals in the aquatic environment have to date come essentially from naturally occurring geochemical resources. however, this has been enhanced by anthropogenic activities resulting in pollution. consequently, correlations and partitioning of trace metals in the dissolved phase, suspended pa...

ABSTRACT: In this study, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and feed forward neural network as two artificial intelligence-based models along with conventional multiple linear regression model were used to predict the multi-station modelling of dissolve oxygen concentration at the downstream of Mathura City in India. The data used are dissolved oxygen, pH, biological oxygen demand and water...

Cell growth and retamycin production in Streptomyces olindensis So20 were studied at different dissolved oxygen levels during fermentation. The profiles for cell growth and retamycin production in an experiment with dissolved oxygen control at 5% air saturation during production were similar to those in an experiment without dissolved oxygen control. However, despite slower cell growth, a twofo...

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) with 129Xe has gained much attention as a diagnostic methodology because of its affinity for lipids and possible polarization. The quantitative estimation of net detectability and stability of hyperpolarized 129Xe in the dissolved phase in vivo is valuable to the development of clinical applications. The goal of this study was to develop a stable hyperpolarized ...

We designed phosphonium-type zwitterion (ZI) to control the saturated water content of separated ionic liquid (IL) phase in the hydrophobic IL/water biphasic systems. The saturated water content of separated IL phase, 1-butyl-3-methyimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, was considerably improved from 0.4 wt% to 62.8 wt% by adding N,N,N-tripentyl-4-sulfonyl-1-butanephosphonium-type ZI ...

Hydrogen (H2) is an essential substrate for methanogens to produce methane (CH4), and also influences pathways of volatile fatty acids (VFA) production in the rumen. Dissolved H2 (H2 (aq)) is the form of H2 available to microbes, and dissolved CH4 (CH4 (aq)) is important for indicating methanogens activity. Rumen H2 (aq) concentration has been estimated by assuming equilibrium with headspace ga...

Hydrogen molecules dissolved in rubber due to high-pressure hydrogen gas exposure have been analyzed using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with solution and solid-state probes. To analyze the characteristics of dissolved hydrogen in rubber materials and to compare them with gaseous phase hydrogen, we measured the NMR spectra of gaseous phase hydrogen and evaluated the chemical shifts and pr...
