Superhydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes were obtained by a surface treatment consisting of oxygen plasma activation followed functionalisation with mixture silica precursor (SiP) (tetraethyl-orthosilicate [TEOS] or 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propylamine [APTES]) and fluoroalkylsilane (1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane), benchmarked coated without activation. The modifications acted mainly on the surface, bulk properties remained stable. From statistical design experiments...
The abatement of typical paint solvent compounds as individuals and in mixtures was carried out an annular TiO2 supported reactor, for concentrations up to 900 mg C m–3. Two different fiberglass supports were compared, the catalyst over a fiber mat showed better performance, with lower pressure drop (>35% reduction) slightly higher removal efficiency (about 2%) than that glass wool. For every target compound whole range relative humidity studied (4–75%), photocatalytic activity increased air...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Two peat biofilters were used for the removal of toluene from air one year. One biofilter was fed with pure and other received 1:1 (by weight) ethyl acetate:toluene mixture. RESULTS: The operated under continuous loading: inlet load (IL) at which 80% occurred 116 g m −3 h −1 57 s gas residence time. Maximum elimination capacity 360 obtained an IL 745 . inhibited by presence acetate. Intermittent loading, pollutants supplied 16 h/day, 5 days/week, did not significantly...
A 0.75-m3 pilot-scale biotrickling filter was run for over 1 yr in a Spanish furniture company to evaluate its performance the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contained emission two different paint spray booths. The first one an open front booth used manually furniture, and second focus automatically operated closed pieces furniture. In both cases, VOC emissions were very irregular, with rapid extreme fluctuations. pilot plant at empty bed residence time (EBRT) ranging from 10...
Abstract Three laboratory‐scale peat biofilters were operated at 90 s empty bed residence time (EBRT) for over a year. Biodegradation of ethyl acetate, toluene, or 1:1 mixture investigated. In first stage, inlet concentration was progressively increased from 0.4 to 4.5 g/m 3 . The maximum elimination capacity (EC) found acetate 190 gC/m ·h, and it not affected by toluene. EC toluene as sole contaminant 150 but the presence decreased 80 ·h. From respirometry monitoring, values 3.19 g CO 2 /gC...
