Biodiesel expansion is currently limited due to high raw material costs for its production. The potential of using sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants as an alternative lipid feedstock biodiesel production was investigated. Experiments were conducted evaluate the suitability four different types sludges Lipids extracted primary, secondary, blended and stabilized in a Soxhlet extractor, hexane solvent. Finally, lipids converted by acid catalysis transesterification into their...
The anaerobic reduction of azo dye Acid Orange 7 (AO7) was investigated in a continuous upflow packed-bed reactor (UPBR) containing biological activated carbon (BAC). Preliminary batch experiments using graphite proved the catalytic effect solid electron mediator reactor. Before start experiments, AO7 adsorption studies were done to control effects on initial decolorization rates. In UPBR-BAC system, high conversion rates achieved during very short space times (τ) up 99% 2.0 min. order know...
This work deals with the degradation of phenol based on classical Fenton process, which is enhanced by presence chelating agents. Several iron-chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), nitrilotriacetic (NTA), diethylenetriamine pentaacetic (DTPA), and ethylenediamine-N,N’-diacetic (EDDA) were explored, although particular attention was given to EDTA. The effect molar ligand iron ratio, EDTA:Fe, initial pH, temperature oxidation process studied. results demonstrate that...
