The concentration of these harmful gases in the industry is very high, which is emitted by workers and industrial materials. Therefore, it is required to maintain a safe percentage of CO2, SO2, and other harmful gases in the air of industry and ensure safety from fire accidents. This paper presents a compressor driven system that could capture harmful gases including CO2 and SO2 from the polluted air of different industries and households. The captured and separated CO2 works as a fire extinguishing agent to safeguard fire accidents for large industries and households. Thus, this system ensures a protected working place and a healthy atmosphere for industrial workers. Besides, this system can be applied in place of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system in small industries and for a four-wheeler, internal combustion engine, as this system could capture and separate the harmful carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. This paper also presents a developed model of different polymeric membranes to simulate the separation of carbon dioxide after the post-combustion process. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been performed by COMSOL 5.5 to observe the carbon dioxide separation by polymeric membranes like polycarbonate (0.07 mol/m3) and polytetrafluoroethylene (0.1 mol/m3) polymeric membranes for specific pore sizes which is comparable to experimental data (0.05 mol/m3).","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"1795 - 1805"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87061155","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 axial pressure will compensate for the separation process pressure loss. The key parameters that affected the axial pressure were studied, the relative motion between the fluid and the vane was analyzed, and a pre-dehydration LPDH was designed (processing capacity is 1.0 m3/h). The changes in the separation efficiency and axial pressure of the LPDH with the operational and physical parameters were studied by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation method. The results revealed that the pressure is increased during rotation-starting, and the pressure loss of LPDH was lower than the dynamic and compound hydrocyclones. Notably, low shear stress was generated using the designed vane when the fluid started rotating, and the separation efficiency increased under these conditions.

The char was characterized by proximate analysis, pHpzc, FTIR, BET surface area analysis and SEM-EDX spectroscopy. The effects of operational parameters (pH, contact time, adsorbent mass and temperature), the kinetics and isotherms of the adsorption process were investigated. Optimal conditions for maximum adsorption of COD (77.4%) and colour (98.01%) occurred at pH 2 after 60-minute contact time with 50 g of adsorbent at 25°C. The adsorption kinetics were analyzed using Elovich and the pseudo-first and – second-order models. The pseudo-second order model gave the best fit for the kinetic data. Application of the intra-particle diffusion and Boyd models to the kinetic data revealed that COD and colour adsorption onto the bone char were predominantly controlled by film diffusion. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models were applied. The Freundlich model best described the adsorption of COD and colour. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities for COD and colour were 559.61 mg/g and 2011.76 Pt-Co/g, respectively. These results indicate that bone char can be an effective low-cost adsorbent in wastewater treatment.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"259 1","pages":"1863 - 1882"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77087221","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}

Dolomite is a common mineral associated with brucite, and its presence reduces the purity of brucite and utilization efficiency of resources. Therefore, in the flotation system of sodium dodecyl sulfonate, the selective inhibition characteristic and inhibition mechanism of environment-friendly and highly effective inhibitor sodium alginate (SA) on dolomite in the flotation separation of brucite and dolomite were investigated. The flotation test shows that an SA dosage of 8 mg/L can achieve 77.92% difference in floatability between brucite and dolomite, and the flotation effect was verified using the selectivity index. The measurement of contact angle shows the stability of the SA effect, thereby demonstrating significant SA effect on dolomite and a small effect on brucite. Zeta potential detection and infrared spectrum analysis show that the adsorption capacity between SA and dolomite is considerably stronger than that between SA and brucite, which is another critical reason for the inhibition of SA on dolomite flotation. In addition, the interaction of SA with the two minerals and the reasons for its selective interaction with dolomite were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic detection. SA shows strong interaction with Ca sites and the O in the carboxyl group of the SA structure can chelate Ca.","PeriodicalId":21680,"journal":{"name":"Separation Science and Technology","volume":"28 12 1","pages":"1784 - 1794"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73251381","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}

In this paper, we designed a novel asymmetric ligand: 5-methoxy-2-(4-methoxy-6”-(quinazolin-2-yl)-[2,2”−bipyridin]-6-yl)quinazoline(MMQBQ), further constructed a new asymmetric receptor Uranyl-MMQBQ by coordination of MMQBQ with uranyl. The complexation and separation of receptor Uranyl-MMQBQ with guests R/S-MTLs or R/S-BNLs were systematically studied using density functional theory (DFT) method. The respects of ESP, MBO, RFC, LOL, EDDM, EST-NOCV, QTAIM, FMOs, IGMH, and Gibbs free energy changes were calculated and analyzed. The results indicated that the MMQBQ could form a stable receptor Uranyl-MMQBQ with uranyl, which could selectively recognize and separate chiral R/S-MTLs or R/S-BNLs by receptor’s U coordinating to carbonyl oxygens of guests. For R/S-MTLs, separation factors(SF S/R) of Uranyl-MMQBQ were more than 16 in water, chlorobenzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride and cyclohexane, enantioselectivity coefficients(ESCs) ranged of 99.92%-94.24% in the above four solvents. While for R/S-BNLs, ESCs of Uranyl-MMQBQ were over 99% and SF S/R values were a range of 533.97–2839.36 in the above organic solvents.

This study seeks to use pistachio shells as a model for heavy metal selectivity and affinity for organic biomasses. The influence of kinetics and pH on selectivity/affinity of the shell for the metals was investigated. The individual metal affinity seen was Th > U > As > Sr. Selectivity for Th and U over As and Sr was seen at pH < 6, beginning to equalize at pH > 6. The maximum uptake for all metals tested occurs at pH 5 and t ≥2 h. Uptake of these metals follows pseudo-second order, intraparticle kinetics, and Freundlich isotherm.
