There are suspended solids, dissolved solids, organic and inorganic compounds, emulsified oil, and other substances. Untreated produced water may have a harmful impact on the ecology. In this study, waste from Coronavirus Face Masks was used as an adsorbent dosage for produced water adsorption discharged from the south Oil Company – Basra. In each trial, a 250 ml beaker held 100 ml of generated water, temperature (25, 35 and 50)°C, adsorbent dosage (2, 5 and 10)g, Investigations were also conducted on contact duration (30, 60, and 90) minutes, pH at (2, 4, 6, and 8), and mixer rotational speed (200 rpm). The ideal parameters for removing 97 percent of the oil were determined to be 25°C, pH 8, 5 g of adsorbent, and 90 min of contact time using a generic model built from the experimental data. Other oil removal equilibrium isotherm models did not adequately account for the experimental results, as did the Langmuir equation. The most common type of adsorption used in kinetics research is pseudo-first-order adsorption.KEYWORDS: Batch processadsorptionCoronavirus Face Masks wasteproduced water AcknowledgementsThe authors are thankful for the Environmental Engineering Department technical support, Mustansiriyah University for giving its investigative services.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":13430,"journal":{"name":"Indian Chemical Engineer","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135386621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fe3O4–NPs were initially ascertained using scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The molecular optimisation modelling via DFT confirmed AMX molecule has chemical potential (–3.59), and electrophilicity index (2.14). The results established that a small chemical hardness = 3.0 eV and molecular energy gap of 6.01 eV, which makes it reactive. The molecule of the antibiotics could interact and be absorbed by the lactase enzyme. The parameters: pH (3–7), time (15–80 min), Fe3O4–NPs dosage (0.1–1.0 g/L), and antibiotic concentration (10–100 mg/L) were studied. The impact of optimum variables pH3, and dosage (0.5 g/L) for adsorption of AMX molecules onto coated Fe3O4–NPs translated to 98% efficiency at 60 mg/l of AMX and 60 min. The adsorption data fitted the Langmuir (R2: 0.9245) with minimal error metrics RMSE ≤ 1.2 when compared to the Freundlich isotherm R2 (0.88) and intraparticle diffusion model R2 (0.58). The maximum adsorption capacity of AMX to Fe3O4–NPs corresponds to 6.47 mg/g with a corresponding adsorption constant of 2.8. Furthermore, AMX adsorption onto Fe3O4–NPs followed pseudo-second-order at R2 (0.9999), with an adsorption constant (k = 3.6 × 10−2g/mg.min).KEYWORDS: Molecular modellingamoxicillinadsorptionnanoparticleskinetics Data availability statementNo data were used to support this study.

PSRBC is one of its kind, which has the capability of producing bubbles and effective mixing in the sparged column. In this experimental work, a plastic PSRBC sparger of cylindrical shape has been designed and used for the supply of compressed gas (air) through the stationary liquid (water-glycerine solution) pool. The system variables viz. superficial air velocity, stationary liquid height, column diameter, the viscosity of liquid and sparger outlet opening area are considered for this study. Model equations have been developed for predicting RPM for the PSRBC sparger and pressure drop of the column in dimensionless form. The calculated values from predicted models have been compared with the experimental values and the coefficients of correlations are found to be more than 0.97. The present hydrodynamic study relates to RPM and pressure drop and may be useful for the design of gas–liquid systems viz. bubble columns, deaerators, bio-reactors (without stirrer) etc. where the interfacial area of gas–liquid has a distinct role in the performance.

Colonies of denitrifying bacteria occupy an ecological niche inside the filter bed in an anoxic medium in the inlet elbow of the biofilter and reduce the concentration of nitrates below of hygienic limit at the optimal feed by ethanol. Hydrogen sulfide and colloidal sulfur produce the sulfate-reducing and sulfur bacteria. Sulfate-reducing bacteria act in an anaerobic environment in the bottom conjunction zone of the inlet and outlet elbows of the biofilter. These bacteria release hydrogen sulfide when ethanol adds to filtering water in excess compared to the dosage required for denitrification. Colonies of sulfur bacteria occupy an ecological niche in the output zone of the biofilter exit elbow and oxidise hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur. Sulfate reduction associated with nitrates removal can be helpful for additional water purification from admixtures of heavy and polyvalent metal ions.
