The adsorption potential of empty cotton flower agro-residue based activated carbon (CFAC) to adsorb Reactive Orange 84 (RO84) dye from aqueous solution was studied using packed-bed column. breakthrough curve characteristics were highly influenced by process variables like influent flowrate, inlet RO84 concentration and CFAC bed height. findings indicated that higher value height favorable but high flowrates unfavorable for adsorptive removal dye. maximum capacity column found be about 720...
This work demonstrates a novel method for improving the performance of thin-film composite RO membrane by making polyamide–chitosan composite.
With the aim to capture CO2 from flue gas, porous carbon was derived abundantly available, nonfodder crop residue─cotton stalk via thermochemical methodology. The precursor treated with a new combination of chemical activating agents (NaOH and K2SO4) in stoichiometric proportions converted single-step activation. transition using this place conventional KOH activation production offers an attractive industrial opportunity, due substantial drop cost manufacturing. Extensive characterizations...
High purity ultrapure water is required in the electronics and pharmaceutical industries. Herein, we report production of high (18.5 L/h) by electrodeionization (EDI) technique a laboratory scale EDI unit (effective membrane area 24 cm × 6 cm) using polyethylene interpolymer based ion-exchange membranes. The also prepared process same two different types commercial membranes (Ionsep Fujifilm type II). resistance was 18.2 MΩ with at 25 V/cell pair applied potential, whereas Ionsep II final 15...
The solar air heater (SAH), a device to harness thermal energy, is widely used in agriculture process drying, space and water heating domestic commercial settings, refrigeration, steam generation. typically heaters have low heat transfer coefficient due the development of viscous boundary layer near wall, this causes reduction efficiency device. Improved can be suitably brought about by passive methods involving artificial enhancers like fin, rib, groove on surface wall. This paper...
Abstract This work reports the utilization of solar thermal energy to generate Eucalyptus essential oil, reducing dependence on conventional and minimizing environmental impact. The study optimized oil extraction by traditional steam distillation using response surface methodology applied results a Scheffler concentrator-driven setup. optimum factors included leaf size (0.02 m), temperature (97.76 ℃), solid/solvent ratio (0.61), time (206 min), with being crucial. major components were 1–8...
This study concerns utilizing commonly available agricultural wastes like mustard stalk, jute sesame wheat straw, bagasse, and rice husk in a proper efficient way. As part of this research, activated carbon has been prepared from these by two-stage activation process with carbonization stage up to 325°C as first followed chemical using zinc chloride an agent. The effects temperature, time, impregnation ratio on have studied. batch adsorption technique utilized obtain information for treating...
