This study was intended to compare the performance of electrocoagulation process using aluminium and iron electrodes for glyphosate removal in aqueous solution. The effects of initial glyphosate concentration, electrocoagulation time and distance between electrodes, were discussed in detail. An electrocoagulation tank of 500mL with two metal plates electrodes, same in dimensions and metal types, was set up to perform batch mode laboratory experiment and the glyphosate in white powder was first diluted with deionized water. Production of metal cations showed an ability to neutralize negatively charged particles, which then encouraged to bind together to form aggregates of flocs composed of a combination of glyphosate and metal hydroxide. Compared with iron electrodes, aluminium electrodes were more effective for glyphosate removal, with a removal efficiency of over than 80%. This study revealed that electrocoagulation process using aluminium electrodes is reliable, especially designed for initial concentration 100 mg/L, electrocoagulation time 50 min, and distance between electrodes 6 cm. Finally, it can be concluded that electrocoagulation process using aluminium electrodes is efficient for glyphosate removal from aqueous environments.

<p>The performance of a laboratory scale electrocoagulation system for the removal of Cr and Ni from model wastewater was studied systematically using iron and aluminum electrodes with an effective surface area of 13.8 cm2 and a distance of 4 cm. The influence of several parameters, such as initial concentration, electrode combination, current supply and initial pH was investigated during electrocoagulation process. The increase in initial concentration favored removal rate, did not affect nickel removal, but restricted chromium removal, thus indicating its required mechanism of reducing hexavalent ion to trivalent. The best removal efficiency, when metals existed separately in treated solutions, was accomplished with the use of iron electrodes for Cr (50%) and with aluminum electrodes for Ni (90%). When metals co-existed, iron electrodes achieved the best result, which was 76% for Cr and 82% for Ni, leaving 30 mg l-1 and 17 mg l-1 of residual concentrations, respectively, after 180 min of treatment. Solutions&rsquo; nominal pH appeared to be optimal, since increasing or decreasing their initial value did not benefit the electrocoagulation process. Chromium and nickel simultaneous removal was best achieved for conditions of 100 mg l-1 initial concentration, pH 5 and a current of 0.8 A.</p>

Working Parameters

At present study the performance of electrocoagulation process using iron electrodes sacrificial anode has been investigated for removal of HA from artificial aqueous solution. The experiments were performed in a bipolar batch reactor with four iron electrode connected in parallel. Several working parameters, such as initial pH (3, 5, 7, and 9), electrical conductivity (50 V) and reaction time were studied in an attempt to achieve the highest removal capacity. Solutions of HA with concentration equal 20 mg L-1were prepared. To follow the progress of the treatment, samples of 10 ml were taken at 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 min interval. Finally HA concentration was measured by UV absorbance at 254 nm (UV254) and TOC concentration was measured by TOC Analyser. The maximum efficiency of HA removal which was obtained in voltage of 50 V, reaction time of 75 min, initial concentration 20 mg L-1, conductivity 3000 µS/Cm and pH 5, is equal to 92.69%. But for natural water samples at the same optimum condition removal efficiency was low (68.8 %). It can be concluded that the electrocoagulation process has the potential to be utilized for cost-effective removal of HA from aqueous environments.

Electrocoagulation Process

Electroplating wastewater contains high amount of heavy metals that can cause serious problems to humans and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to remove heavy metals from electroplating wastewater. The aim of this research was to examine the electrocoagulation (EC) process for removing the copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) ions from wastewater using aluminum electrodes. It also analyzes the removal efficiency and energy requirement rate of the EC method for heavy metals removal from wastewater. Regarding this matter, the operational parameters of the EC process were varied, including time (20−40 min), current density (40−80 A/m2), pH (3−11), and initial concentration of heavy metals. The concentration of heavy metals ions was analyzed using the atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) method. The results showed that the concentration of lead and copper ions decreased with the increase in EC time. The current density was observed as a notable parameter. High current density has an effect on increasing energy consumption. On the other hand, the performance of the electrocoagulation process decreased at low pH. The higher initial concentration of heavy metals resulted in higher removal efficiency than the lower concentration. The removal efficiency of copper and lead ions was 89.88% and 98.76%, respectively, at 40 min with electrocoagulation treatment of 80 A/m2 current density and pH 9. At this condition, the specific amounts of dissolved electrodes were 0.2201 kg/m3, and the energy consumption was 21.6 kWh/m3. The kinetic study showed that the removal of the ions follows the first-order model.

Transient hot wire method is considered a reliable and precise technique for measuring the thermal conductivity of liquids. The present paper describes a new transient hot wire experimental set-up and its initial testing. The new apparatus was tested by performing thermal conductivity measurements on substances whose reference thermophysical properties data existed in literature, namely on pure toluene and double distilled deionized water. The values of thermal conductivity measured in the temperature range 25 to 45 ?C deviated +2.2% to +3% from the literature data, while the expanded measurement uncertainty was estimated to be ?4%.

The need for centimetric accuracies set by the application of the VLBI technique to geodesy implies a considerable computational effort, because of the intrinsic complexity of the model and because there is an increasingly large number of calibrations and corrections which can be accounted for only via software. The program VLBI 3 (Robertson, 1975) has been developed for the geodetic and astrometric analysis of VLBI data. It includes an accurate theoretical model of the observables and is supported by a number of routines for parameter fitting and input/output operations with data and results. The original VAX version of VLBI 3, due to N. Bartel and M.I. Ratner, runs in batch mode and requires routines which are in general unavailable in standard VAX systems. We have prepared (Caporali and Sylos Labini, 1982) a modified VAX version of VLBI 3. This version runs on our standard VAX/VMS computers and contains a number of changes in the FORTRAN source which allow to the user a real time interaction with the program. In addition, having a Tektronix graphic station at our disposal, we decided to replace the existing plot package - which used the line printer - with a “ad hoc” graphic program which permits interactive display of the results of each run of VLBI 3. Our work was mostly concerned with the input/output sections of VLBI 3. The theorical model of the VLBI observables has, for the moment, been left unchanged. We have, however, noticed that the theorical model could be updated and made more precise, e.g. in the computation of the nutation terms and of the aberration. This updating and a more extensive geodetic and astrometric analysis of VLBI data are planned to be done next.

The CBELSA/TAPS experiment is a set up installed at the accelerator facility ELSA in Bonn. It is used to measure cross sections of hadronic reactions by observing final state particles. The set up is well suited for the identification of neutral particles such as neutrons and photons (e.g. from π0 decay). It is planed to access the major part of η and η′ photo production and decays as also strangeness. This requires a neutral trigger capability for the detector set up and a tracking detector for charged particles.

Following our work on the quantization of nonconservative systems using fractional calculus, the canonical quantization of a system of free particles in a dissipative medium is carried out according to the Dirac method. A suitable Schro¨dinger equation is set up and solved for the Lagrangian representing this system. The wave function is plotted and the damping effect manifests itself very clearly. This formalism is then applied to the problem of energy loss of charged particles when passing through matter. The results are plotted and the relation between the energy loss and the range agrees qualitatively with experimental results.
