Therefore, the present study is focused on the isotherm and kinetic studies of pentavalent arsenic As(V) adsorption with initial concentration of 1 000 µg L −1 from aqueous solutions onto granular ferric oxide (GFO). Adsorption experiments were carried out by batch method, and the equilibrium and kinetic data were evaluated by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Redlich-Peterson and Sips isotherm model, and pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetic model. The results obtained from this study imply that the adsorption of As(V) onto GFO was favourable, physical and multilayer process. The Sips and Redlich-Peter-son isotherm and the pseudo-first order kinetic model gave the best fit to experimental data according to the values of correlation coefficient. The maximum theoretical adsorption capacity from Langmuir isotherm model was determined to be 1 900 µg g −1 . In ad-dition, the impact of different operating conditions such as As(V) initial concentration, adsorbent dose, agitation speed, pH, temperature, and presence of phosphates and silica on adsorption capacity of GFO was also investigated. As(V) was efficiently recovered from GFO by 0.1 M NaOH desorbing solution during the three adsorption-desorption cycles.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47102631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several efficient and economically beneficial techniques for the in situ treatment of contaminated soils have been applied quite frequently, including the so-called soil flushing processes. In this study, microemulsion systems were prepared using limonene, in the search for a formulation that would remove trichloroethene in soil. Limonene, a monocyclic monoterpene, is one of the main constituents of various essential oils of citrus fruits, such as oranges, tangerines and lemons. The results indicated that using a washing fluid containing 15 % DL-limonene microemulsion enabled the removal of 98.85 % of trichloroethene present in the soil after 30 minutes of residence time in the system. Hence, it can be concluded that the use of this microemulsion system is an inter-esting strategy for the remediation of soils contaminated with trichloroethene.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48658479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These bioactive pigments are sensitive to light, heat, organic solvents, and pH. It seems that a benign economic method is needed to extract these biomolecules, especially for industrial applications. The aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) is a liquid-liquid extraction technique that has shown its potential in recent years to extract and separate biomolecules. In this study, an ATPS consisting of carbohydrate (sorbitol) and ionic liquid (tetrabutyl phosphonium bromide) has been proposed as a new separation system with unique properties to study the partition coefficient of crocin and betanin. The results indicated that crocin and betanin had more tendency to the ionic liquid (IL)-rich phase and carbohydrate-rich phase, respectively. The influence of the concentration of IL and sorbitol on the partition coefficient was studied. The results showed that an increase in the tie-line length (concentrations) increased the partition coefficient of crocin and betanin. Enhancement in temperature increased the partition coefficient of crocin. The highest values of crocin recovery (97.55 %) and partition coefficient (39.85) at 308 K show that our proposed ATPS can be considered for crocin one step.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43561041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The characterization results of material confirm the formation of MOF structure. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, as well as isosteric heat of adsorption were also investigated by obtaining experimental adsorption data through batch experimentation. Optimum adsorption uptake of ~91 mg g –1 was attained at pH 6 and 305 K. Regression analysis of experimental results revealed that adsorption kinetics follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and adsorption can reach equilibrium at ~20 min. Adsorption isotherm data can be well fitted with Koble Corrigan isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the adsorption of humic acid is a spontaneous, endothermic, and physical process, while isosteric heat evaluations revealed the heterogeneous nature of the adsorbent. Overall, the Co-MOF was a promising choice to adsorb humic acid from water.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48905066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The released hydrogen-rich syngas from the gasification process of SS had low heating value (LHV) of approximately 8.83 MJ N –1 m –3 (equal to 2.45 kWh N –1 m –3 ) due to the high content of combustible gases H 2 (41.5 vol.%) and CH 4 (3.2 vol.%).
