Also, binocular magnifier was used. The samples were investigated for heavy metals presence. The result shows that despite the deposition of particles is bigger on horizontal surface, the vertical layer of roughcast accumulate significant amounts of impurities and heavy metals. The composition and content of metals differ accordingly to automotive traffic nowadays and in the past, existence of road hubs, industrial districts and historical manufactures. Samples from Cracow show high content of non-ferrous metals and nickel, whereas content of copper was significantly higher in Monchegorsk. In Lublin and Lviv, their agricultural past contributed to significantly lower heavy metal content Determination of heavy metals contents in roughcast can be used to evaluate anthropogenic impact in the cities through the years and to help to protect cities’ population from negative consequences of living in urban areas.","PeriodicalId":14572,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering-international English Edition","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81187502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Zn/BC composites were prepared using four different methods such as sol-gel, precipitation, hydrothermal and wet-impregnation methods. Various analysing techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-red (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were performed to characterize the prepared photocatalysts. The photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/BC composite prepared from the sol-gel method was evaluated by the decolorization of brilliant green dye in aqueous solution. The results of SEM analysis confirm the agglomeration of nano-ZnO particles and particles are evenly distributed on the surface of the bone char. Moreover, the influence of different experimental parameters like solution pH, H2O2 concentration and photocatalyst dosage was studied to optimize the process efficiency. This study also shows that the chicken bone waste can be used as a photocatalyst carrier for the synthesis of photocatalytic composites. It does not only provide a better way to treat dye-containing wastewater, but also offers an ideal solution to use chicken bone waste.

This industry is the driving force behind the development of a nation. The heart of this industry is the rotary kiln. One of the significant concerns about a rotary kiln is forming a cover of molten materials on the kiln's inner wall called coating. The low thickness of this coating cause burns to the wall refractory bricks and heavy damage to the kiln, while its high thickness reduces the production volume and quality of products. Currently, the kilns are checked by experienced technicians for empirical coating estimation. This paper aims to identify the thickness of the coating for the automatic control purpose of the kiln. The identification problem of coating thickness is based on thermal resistances in different layers of the kiln and heat transfer equations between these layers. For this purpose, the linear and nonlinear identification methods such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Recursive Least Squares (RLS), global search method, and genetic algorithm are used. The coating can be identified in the proposed identification approach by having the kiln's ambient and internal solid temperature profiles. The raw data for the identification process has been extracted by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for a given solid temperature profile along with the kiln and different kiln coating thicknesses. The modeling and simulations carried out in this paper show that the identification methods were able to determine the amount of coating with acceptable errors depending on the method.","PeriodicalId":14572,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering-international English Edition","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73310750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
