Abstract
Effect of hydrodynamics on ion exchange in a batch reactor is still not appropriately studied even though proper mixing parameters may considerably affect the process of solid suspension and its costs. In this work, hydrodynamic conditions generated by straight blade turbine (SBT) impellers on suspension in the batch reactor with and without baffles were investigated. The aim of this work was to analyze influence of impeller diameter and zeolite mass on just suspended impeller speed, (NJS) power consumption, maximum amount of copper exchanged onto zeolite NaX and copper exchange kinetics as well. All experiments were conducted at the same temperature, initial concentration of the copper solution and zeolite particle size. The obtained results showed that just suspended impeller speed decreases as impeller diameter increases in the reactor with and without baffles but this trend is considerably more pronounced in the reactor with baffles. The increase in zeolite mass causes a slight increase of NJS in the both reactor. In the reactor with the baffles this increment became noticeably higher as impeller diameter decrease. Power consumption, at the state of complete zeolite suspension, decreases as impeller diameter increases and its values in the reactor without baffles are considerably lower as well. Kinetics results indicated that the amount of copper ion increases significantly in the initial stage and then gradually until the equilibrium is reached for all hydrodynamics conditions and mass of zeolite examined.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Review is an international journal designed to foster the exchange of ideas and transfer of knowledge between scientists and engineers involved in various engineering sciences that deal with investigations related to design, materials, technology, maintenance and manufacturing processes. It is not limited to the specific details of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a very wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. It provides an appropriate resort for publishing the papers covering prior applications – based on the research topics comprising the entire engineering spectrum. Topics of particular interest thus include: mechanical engineering, naval architecture and marine engineering, fundamental engineering sciences, electrical engineering, computer sciences and civil engineering. Manuscripts addressing other issues may also be considered if they relate to engineering oriented subjects. The contributions, which may be analytical, numerical or experimental, should be of significance to the progress of mentioned topics. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles or procedures generally will not be accepted. Occasionally, the magazine is ready to publish high-quality-selected papers from the conference after being renovated, expanded and written in accordance with the rules of the magazine. The high standard of excellence for any of published papers will be ensured by peer-review procedure. The journal takes into consideration only original scientific papers.
