Hybrid gas-liquid electrical discharge for degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution
Hybrid gas-liquid electrical discharge for degradation of phenol was investigated. The removal rate increased with decreasing the phenol initial concentration and adding some catalysts, such as Fe2+, Fe3+and H2O2. Augmenting the particle diameter of activated alumina or exchanging beadings as padding would lead to the reduction of the removal rate of phenol. Local discharge promoted the phenol ...

Factorial experimental design applied to adsorption of cadmium on activated alumina
The effective removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater is a very important issue for many countries. This paper examines the removal of cadmium ions from aqueous solutions and industrial effluents by adsorption on activated alumina. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area, pore diameter and pore volume of the activated alumina were 156.7 m2/g, 58.4 Å and 0.23 cm3/g, ...

Development of a portable filter for arsenic removal from drinking water
In the present study, different grades of indigenously available activated alumina (AA) were screened for their arsenic removal capacity. For both As(III) and As(V), A1 (Grade 1, 0.3-0.6 mm) activated alumina has shown better removal efficiency. The optimum pH for the adsorption phenomena was around 7.0. Chlorine at a dose of 20 mg/l could completely oxidize As(III) to As(V), which also assured ...

Fluoride removal by a hybrid fluoride-selective adsorbent
High concentrations of fluoride in groundwater have become a global environmental challenge. Out of the various methods developed for effective removal of fluoride adsorption using activated alumina (AA) is popular as it has a low initial cost. AA offers excellent chemical and mechanical stability, selectivity for fluoride, favorable hydraulic properties, regenerability but offers lower ...

Influence of precursors on the catalytic activity of alumina for bio-ethanol dehydration in microchannel reactors
In this paper, the catalytic activity of alumina for bio-ethanol dehydration was studied in a microchannel reactor. Five catalysts were prepared from precursors with different ratios of AlOOH (pseudo boehmite) and Al(OH)3 (bayerite). The physicochemical properties of catalysts were characterised by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD). The influence of reaction ...

Project (in process) - thunderbird farms - Arizona arsenic & fluoride removal
Background In 2008 AdEdge was selected by Atwell Hicks Engineers and Thunderbird Improvement district to provide a 500 gpm treatment system for this Arizona community serving 1,500 population to treat elevated levels of arsenic and fluoride. Non compliant levels are 13 ppb As and 3.20 mg/L F respectively. Raw water quality information is provided in the table below. Several options were ...

Recovery of phosphorus from sewage sludge in combination with the supercritical water process
In this paper, the fraction transformation and recovering of phosphorus (P) from sewage sludge (SS) residues, derived from supercritical water process, was investigated by extraction and precipitation processes. In addition, the form of heavy metals existing during the recovery process is also discussed. First, P in the solid residues was recovered by acid leaching with HCl, and then the ...

Arsenic removal from groundwater by Anjili tree sawdust impregnated with ferric hydroxide and activated alumina
Arsenic is a toxic element found naturally in groundwater. Due to its carcinogenicity, risk for heart diseases and diabetes, arsenic needs to be removed from groundwater for potable application. ‘Anjili’ tree sawdust was chemically modified with ferric hydroxide and activated alumina (SFAA) and used as an adsorbent for the removal of arsenic from groundwater. The adsorbent was characterized ...

Fluoride removal from drinking water by adsorption using bone char as a biosorbent
As a biomass material, bone char was investigated for the feasibility to be used as a cost-effective biosorbent for fluoride removal from drinking water in groundwater environment. Based on the batch tests with natural tourmalin and active alumina being the reference adsorbents, bone char has demonstrated a higher fluoride adsorption capacity. This capacity was found to increase with the increase ...

Selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide over copper oxide and cerium oxide catalysts
The selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with hydrocarbons in an oxygen-containing simulated flue gas has been investigated for a series of copper oxide and cerium oxide alumina supported catalysts at 600–775 K. The activity of these catalysts for the reduction of NO by methane or propane has been investigated in simulated flue gas. The effects of sulphates on the catalyst, and of water ...

Degradation of Groundwater due to Fluoride Contamination in India
Introduction: India is the largest consumer of groundwater in the whole world. It uses around 230 cubic kilometers of groundwater per year, which is over a quarter of the global total. More than 60 percentage of groundwater in India is used for irrigation, whereas almost 85% of groundwater is used for drinking purposes. Even though groundwater is a renewable water resource, the world’s ...

Adsorption of fluoride from water by surface-functionalized polyurethane foam
Surface-functionalized polyurethane foam (SPUF) showed an exceptionally high adsorption potential for defluoridation of drinking water. Kinetic experiments of fluoride adsorption on SPUF demonstrated quick adsorption in first 60 min and then achieved maximum adsorption (7.8 mg g−1). The adsorption isotherm was described using Bradley equation. The adsorption capacity of SPUF was significantly ...

Removal of Radioactive Effluent Waste from Uranium Enrichments Plants
In an effort to reduce greenhouse emissions many nations and multi-national corporations are once again focusing on the development of safe radioactive sources for energy generation. After a hiatus of some 20 years commercial nuclear power plants are being developed globally to satisfy increasing global energy demands. Whether for generation of electrical power or in the production of fission ...

San Joaquin Valley California - Arsenic removal from ground water
Background The San Joaquin Valley of California is approximately 220 miles long and varies in width to a maximum distance of approximately 80 miles. The occurrence of groundwater over the entire extent of the valley is abundant. Recharge for the varied depths of aquifers is from precipitation in the form of rain and the snow pack from the western Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. High capacity wells ...

CO2 adsorption over ion-exchanged zeolite beta with alkali and alkaline earth metal ions
The need to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions has been the driving force to consider new approaches and novel ideas for CO2 management, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are considered to potentially be the most effective means to alleviate the problem. The most common method for CO2 capture is via gas absorption, with monoethanol amine (MEA) being the most widely used solvent. The current ...

Fiction EHC fluid resistivity
Since the mid 1960's turbine hydraulic fluid systems have been using Fire Resistant Fluid (FRF) to control their turbine inlet valves. It is a known “FACT” that low fluid resistivity adversely affects the internal components of servo valves within the hydraulic fluid system. Root cause analysis studies conducted by numerous agencies have determined that acids, conductive water and ...
