The biosorption performance of both batch and liquid-solid fluidized bed operations of dead fungal biomass type (Agaricusbisporus ) for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution was investigated. In batch system, the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of dead fungal biomass were evaluated. In fluidized bed system, the experiments were conducted to study the effects of important parameters such as particle size (701-1400�m), initial dye concentration(10-100 mg/L), bed depth (5-15 cm) and solution flow rate (5-20 ml/min) on breakthrough curves. In batch method, the experimental data was modeled using several models (Langmuir,Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkviechmodels) to study equilibrium isotherms, the experimental data followed Langmuir model and the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity obtained was (28.90, 24.15, 21.23 mg/g) at mean particle size (0.786, 0.935, 1.280 mm) respectively. In Fluidized-bed method, the results show that the total ion uptake and the overall capacity will be decreased with increasing flow rate and increased with increasing initial concentrations, bed depth and decreasing particle size.

Abstract Steam generators used in industrial baking ovens operate by pouring or spraying water on a preheated thermal mass. This paper presents a methodology to quantify the amount of steam generated from a thermal mass along with experiments to determine the effect of particle size and porosity on steam generation. Three sizes of steel spheres, 0.6 mm, 8 mm, and 16 mm in diameter, were used to construct porous media beds that were preheated in an oven after which water was sprayed onto them from a full-cone nozzle for a fixed duration. The weight of the heated bed and the impinging water were recorded during spraying. The difference in weight change when spraying on heated and unheated beds gave the rate of evaporation. Thermocouples were used to record the internal temperature of the bed. Steam generation rate increased with particle size while bed porosity had only a minor influence. The counter-current flow of steam within the media bed disrupts the downward flow of water enough to leave pockets of hot material, reducing steam production. To maximize steam generation the media size, material, and spray time should be matched to ensure the surfaces of particles remain above the boiling point of water during spraying.

Bod Removal

A pilot scale study was conducted using an Air-Fluidized-Bed Biofilm Reactor (AFBBR) system with a Multi Media Filter (MMF). Soluble BOD (S-BOD) concentration in the effluent of the AFBBR had a correlation with total BOD (T-BOD) and Suspended Solids (SS) concentration in the effluent of the MMF. The lower the S-BOD in the effluent of the AFBBR was, the lower was not only T-BOD but also SS in the effluent of the MMF. It was found that as treatment proceeded, S-BOD was removed and the particle size of SS increased in the AFBBR. These results suggested that the mechanism of BOD removal in this system was: S-BOD was removed and a part of the S-BOD was changed to SS and the particle size of the SS increased in the AFBBR, and then the SS was removed by the MMF. Thus not only the T-BOD but also the SS in the effluent of MMF was lower when the S-BOD in the effluent of the AFBBR was lower. When the S-BOD in the effluent of the AFBBR was 8mg/L, T-BOD and the SS in the effluent of the MMF were 10mg/L and 4mg/L, respectively. In order to have an average S-BOD value in the effluent of the AFBBR of about 8mg/L, the T-BOD loading and the S-BOD loading needed to be less than 1.3kg/m3/day and 0.45 kg/m3/day, respectively. Even when the BOD loading was high, nitrification still occurred in this system.
