Desulphurization of Um Al Nar Refinery straight-run kerosene and gas oil has been investigated using adsorption techniques. Palm fruit kernel activated charcoal (PFKAC), a locally-made adsorbent, has been used for the adsorption of sulphur compounds in batch tests over a range of initial sulphur concentrations at 25°C and adsorbent particle size ≤ 75 μm. The results revealed the potential of PFKAC as a low-cost adsorbent. PFKAC showed a higher capacity for sulphur at gas oil concentrations than in the case of kerosene. The experimental isothermal data were correlated to the Freundlich model. Values of the Freundlich exponent, n, were > 1 indicating that sulphur compounds are favourably adsorbed on PFKAC. The Langmuir model also fitted the experimental data. A correlation has been developed for fitting the experimental data and has been found to be reasonably good.

Particles prepared from palm-fruit bunch have been used for the adsorption of a basic dye (BR 18) over range of initial dye concentrations and varying adsorbent particle size in the range of 106 to 300 m, using batch tests. The results revealed the potential for palm-bunch particles as low cost adsorbents. Uptake of the basic dye was higher at smaller adsorbent particle size. The adsorption isotherm follows both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Values of the separation factor, R, indicate favourable for the basic dye - palm fruit bunch particles system, that is, 0< R <1 and Freundlich constant n >1.

Abstract The surface modified Strychnos potatorum seeds (SMSP), an agricultural waste has been developed into an effective adsorbent for the removal of Zn(II) ions from aqueous environment. The Freundlich model provided a better fit with the experimental data than the Langmuir model as revealed by a high coefficient of determination values and low error values. The kinetics data fitted well into the pseudo-second order model with the coefficient of determination values greater than 0.99. The influence of particle diffusion and film diffusion in the adsorption process was tested by fitting the experimental data with intraparticle diffusion, Boyd kinetic and Shrinking core models. Desorption experiments were conducted to explore the feasibility of regenerating the spent adsorbent and the adsorbed Zn(II) ions from spent SMSP was desorbed using 0.3 M HCl with the efficiency of 93.58%. The results of the present study indicates that the SMSP can be successfully employed for the removal of Zn(II) ions from aqueous environment.

Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tentang kecekapan penjerap yang lebih murah, iaitu tayar getah terbuang (DRT), dalam menyingkirkan toluena daripada fasa akuas. Penjerapan toluena pada tayar getah terbuang dikaji menggunakan sistem berkelompok pada suhu 25°C dan 30°C. Daripada kajian ini, didapati toluena dapat disingkirkan sehingga 70% dengan menggunakan julat kepekatan awalan antara 50 mg/l hingga 300 mg/l. Dengan menggunakan model keseimbangan terlelurus, iaitu model Langmuir dan Freundlich, keupayaan penjerapan maksimum dapat ditentukan. Daripada data eksperimen, terbukti bahawa walaupun kedua–dua model isoterma Langmuir dan Freundlich boleh menjelaskan data isoterma, tetapi penjerapan toluena pada DRT dapat ditunjukkan dengan lebih baik oleh isoterma Freudlich. Bagi nilai K Freundlich, keupayaan penjerapan ialah 6.6374 mg/l dan 7.7535 mg/l, pada suhu 25°C dan 30°C. Nilai eksponen n Freudlich adalah lebih daripada satu untuk kedua–dua suhu. Kata kunci: Toluena, penjerapan, isoterma, tayar getah terbuang, model isoterma Langmuir, model isoterma Freundlich This paper discusses the effectiveness of a less expensive adsorbent, a discarded rubber tyre (DRT) in removing toluene from aqueuos phase. Adsorption of toluene on a DRT has been studied by using batch system at 25 and 30°C. It was found that up to 70% of toluene was removed for the range of toluene initial concentrations studied between 50–300 mg/l. Using linearized forms of equilibrium models, namely Langmuir and Freundlich models, the maximum adsorptive capacities were determined. It was evident from the experimental data that, although both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models could describe the isotherm data, the adsorption of toluene on a DRT was described well by the Freundlich isotherm. For Freundlich K values, sorption capacities were 6.6374 and 7.7535 mg/l at 25 and 30°C, respectively. The values of Freundlich exponent n were greater than one for both temperatures.

Heavy metals have continued to be of great concern in research as major pollutants of water. Adsorption using low cost adsorbent is a low cost method of the removal heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. In this study activated carbon derived from macadamia intergrifolia nutshell powder was considered as an alternative low cost adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution. Various physicochemical parameters which included sorbent mass, and initial metal ions concentration isotherms using sorption models were determined. Results from the experiment indicated the optimum values for sorbent mass as 0.3 grams, and initial metal ions concentration as 8mg/l. Adsorption isotherms were found to fit well in Langmuir model (R2=0.9935), Javanovic model (R2 =0.9857) and Freundlich model (R2=0.9911). Additionally, for Langmuir model the value of separation factor (KL) was in the range of 0 to 1 indicating a favorable reaction. For Jovanovic model adsorption energy was found to be 1.00334 l/mg thus an indication of binding vibrations during Cd(II) ions adsorption.  FTIR spectrum revealed that the presence of O-H at νmax 3389 cm-1, COO- at νmax 2367 cm-1, C=0 at νmax 1593 cm-1,  C-O at νmax 1344 cm-1, P-O at νmax 1206 cm-1 and POO-H at νmax 1110cm-1 functional group in activated carbon enhanced Cd(II) ions removal.  The study revealed that activated carbon derived from macadamia intergrifolia nutshell can be used to remove Cd(II) ions from water.

Abstract Over the last few decades, nanotechnologies have gained a great deal of attention, and various nanomaterials and techniques have been developed for water remediation. This study deals with the adsorption of Naphthol green B onto the magnetite nanoparticles synthetized by the coprecipitation method at the laboratory temperature. According to the obtained results, the sorption process is obvious only at the acidic condition when the pH of solution decreases to pH level 3. According to nonlinear fit of experimental data, the sorption of the Naphthol green B onto magnetite nanoparticles is assumed as multilayer, while the Freundlich model fits better (96.158 %) than the Langmuir model does (55.941 %).

The Stability

In this study, the usage of the peppermint (Mentha piperita) for extracting the metal ions [Mg (II), Cr (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), Pb (II)] that exist at water was investigated. In order to analyze the stability properties, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were used at removing the metal ions and the highest correlation coefficients (R2) were obtained at Langmuir isotherm. Therefore, it is seen that the Langmuir model is more proper than the Freundlich model. However, it was found that the correlation coefficients of removing Ni and Cd is higher at Freundlich model than Langmuir and low at Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. It is established that the biosorption amount increase depends on the increase of biosorbent and it can be achieved high efficiency (95%) even with small amount (0.6 mg, peppermint extract) at lead ions. It is also determined that the peppermint extracted that is used at this study shows high biosorption capacity for metal ions and can be used for immobilization of metals from polluted areas.

This paper describes a study about the San Giacomo building for testing the dynamic identification applicability of a low-cost monitoring system, consisting of accelerometers and acquisition modules. The Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI), a well-known technique of Operational Modal Analysis (OMA), is applied to the experimental data to evaluate the possibility of identifying the first frequencies of the building. Moreover, in order to solve the lack of synchronization of the monitoring system, an innovative method based on the phase delay of each signal is presented and used for digitally synchronizing the data.

Gas turbines are reliable energy conversion systems since they are able to operate with variable fuels and independently from seasonal natural changes. Within that reality, micro gas turbines have been increasing the importance of its usage on the onsite generation. Comparatively, less research has been done, leaving more room for improvements in this class of gas turbines. Focusing on the study of a flexible micro turbine set, this work is part of the development of a low cost electric generation micro turbine, which is capable of burning natural gas, LPG and ethanol. It is composed of an originally automotive turbocompressor, a combustion chamber specifically designed for this application, as well as a single stage axial power turbine. The combustion chamber is a reversed flow type and has a swirl stabilized combustor. This paper is dedicated to the diagnosis of the natural gas combustion in this chamber using computational fluid dynamics techniques compared to measured experimental data of temperature inside the combustion chamber. The study emphasizes the near inner wall temperature, turbine inlet temperature and dilution holes effectiveness. The calculation was conducted with the Reynolds Stress turbulence model coupled with the conventional β-PDF equilibrium along with mixture fraction transport combustion model. Thermal radiation was also considered. Reasonable agreement between experimental data and computational simulations was achieved, providing confidence on the phenomena observed on the simulations, which enabled the design improvement suggestions and analysis included in this work.
