Removal of chromium by continuous flow using wool packed columns
(2010-01)
Wool was utilized for the removal of Cr from aqueous solution. The wool fibers exhibited selective removal of Cr(VI) at pH 1.0. Breakthrough curves showed that wool can absorb Cr(VI) up to the maximum range studied (600 ...
The Use of Cutting-Stone-Slurry-Waste in Engineering Practice
(2010)
The paper studies the use of cutting stones-water-slurry-waste in engineering applications. Three types of selected clayey soils with different plasticity index and clay fraction were used. The initial physical properties ...
Hydrogen Sulphide Removal Using a Novel Biofilter Media
(2010-02)
Air emissions from waste treatment plants often consist of a combination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odors. Hydrogen sulfide is one of the major odorous gases present in the waste emissions coming from municipal ...
An exergy-cost-energy-mass analysis of a hybrid copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production
(2010-05)
An exergoeconomic assessment using exergy-cost-energy-mass (EXCEM) analysis is reported of a copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle for hydrogen production. The quantitative relation is identified ...
Energy consumption considerations in dynamic wireless sensor networks with nodes and base stations mobility
(2010)
Energy conservation is a critical issue in the design of sensor networks since the sensor nodes are battery-powered. This paper proposes a wireless sensor network with mobile sensor nodes and base stations to prolong the ...
The cost of integration of parabolic trough CSP plants in isolated Mediterranean power systems
(2010-06)
In this work, a technical and economic analysis concerning the integration of parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, with or without thermal storage capability, in an existing typical small isolated ...
Fuel recovery from waste oily sludge using solvent extraction
(2010-09)
Solvent extraction was used to recover oil from waste sludge generated from the storage of crude petroleum. Different solvent-to-sludge mass ratios were used for two solvents, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and LPG condensate ...
