Aminated glycidyl methacrylates as a support media for goethite nanoparticle enabled hybrid sorbents for arsenic removal: From copolymer synthesis to full-scale system modeling
Abstract To achieve short mass transfer zones that enable arsenic removal under high hydraulic loading rates and short empty bed contact times needed for small point-of-use packed bed applications, hybrid media was developed and tested. Cross-linked ...

Selection of Optimal Solid Sorbents for CO2 Capture Based on Gas Phase CO2 composition
Abstract One method to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions is carbon capture via the separation of CO2 from gas streams that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere. In this work, we examine the applicability, performance, and desired material...

Rate of shear of an ultrasonic oscillating rod viscosity probe
Abstract Ultrasonic oscillating rod probes have recently been used by researchers to measure viscosity and/or density in fluids. However, in order to use such probes to characterise the rheological properties of fluids, it is necessary to define the ...

Shock-induced collapse of a vapor nanobubble near solid boundaries
Abstract The collapse of a nano-bubble near a solid wall is addressed here exploiting a phase field model recently used to describe the process in free space. Bubble collapse is triggered by a normal shock wave in the liquid. The dynamics is...

Innovation in dewatering process of flotation tailings by study of particle interaction in colloidal environment
Summary Many mining operations produce tailings that dewater very slowly under self-weight consolidation. On way of reducing the water content of such tailings is by coagulation/flocculation processes (C/F processes). This paper describes a study...

An Integrated Framework for the Dynamic Modelling of Solvent-based CO2 Capture Processes
Abstract The most mature technology for CO2 capture is absorption with suitable solvents, be it physical or chemical. However, important issues still need to be addressed. Two of the most prominent are: a) the large energetic costs involved, and b)...
