<p><strong><em>Abstract:</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><em>Gas purification from the content of H<sub>2</sub>S using  Fe-EDTA (Iron Chelated Solution) gave  several advantages. The advantages were  the absorbent solution can be regenerated that means  a cheap operation cost,  the separated sulfur was a solid that is easy to handle and is save to be disposal to environment. This research was done by simulation and experimental. The simulation step was done by mathematical model arrangement representing the absorption process in packed column through mass transfer arrangement such as mass transfer equations and chemical reaction. The experimental step was done with the making of Fe-EDTA solution from FeCl<sub>2</sub> and EDTA. Then Fe-EDTA solution was flown in counter current packed column that was contacted with H<sub>2</sub>S in the methane gas. By comparing gas composition result of experiment and simulation, the value of mass transfer coefficient in gas phase ( k<sub>Ag</sub>a), mass transfer coefficient in liquid phase (k<sub>Al</sub>a) and the reaction rate constant ( k) were found. The values of mass transfer coefficient in liquid phase (k<sub>Al</sub>a) were lower than values of mass transfer coefficient in gas phase (k<sub>Ag</sub>a) and the reaction rate constant (k). It meant that H<sub>2</sub>S absorption  process using Fe-EDTA absorbent solution was determined by mass transfer process in liquid phase. The higher flow rate of absorbent, the higher value of mass transfer coefficient in liquid phase. </em><em>The smaller packing diameter, the higher value of mass transfer coefficient in liquid phase.From analysis of dimension, the relation of dimensionless number between Sherwood number and flow rate of absorbent, packing diameter was</em><strong></strong></p><p> <strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><em>chemical reaction, Fe-EDTA, H<sub>2</sub>S absorption, mass transfer</em></p>

Microfluidic devices are used in several engineering fields ranging from biomedical to chemical to engineering for applications such as micro reactor, target molecular enriching and cell capturing. With regard to related applications, microfluidic devices offer advantages such as high surface area to volume ratio, increased mass transfer coefficient and portability in addition to their requirement of low analytes. Affinity based microfluidic devices with microscale posts have high compactness and mass transfer coefficient. In order to maximize the benefits offered by employing microfluidic devices, it is important to apply parametric study in the device designing work. This study is aimed at studying the operating and geometric parameters of microfluidic devices with square/rectangular microscale posts. The geometric parameters, such as aspect ratio of the microposts used, could possibly decide the performance of the device. Operating parameters studied are Reynolds number, Peclet number, Damköhler number, and equilibrium reaction constant. These parameters encompass the influence of velocity, diffusivity, density, viscosity, hydraulic diameter, inlet concentration of species and absorption/desorption reaction constants. This work theoretically analyzes the influence of the above mentioned parameters using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2.a. The governing equations of microfluidic devices, i.e. Navier-Stokes equations and the advection-diffusion equation, subjected to the above mentioned operating parameters, are solved to obtain the velocity profile, pressure drop and concentration profile of the species. The metric used for analyzing the influence of each operating parameter is the capture efficiency, i.e. the ratio of outlet concentration to inlet concentration as well the pressure drop. The results of this study would improve the design of microfluidic devices used for chemical reactions as well as that used for protein enrichment.

AbstractBioreactors are used in many biochemical industries to produce commercial life products such as medicines, enzymes, perfumes, paints and antibiotics. In the presented study, a specially shaped bioreactor has been designed, built and operated to increase the mass transfer coefficient. The constructed bioreactor, according to type of microorganisms, can provide high amounts of oxygen or carbon dioxide. Moreover, the manuscript was aimed at investigating the hydrodynamic properties of the bioreactor. The bioreactor was constructed from three parts including shower in upper part, middle section for mass transfer and bottom section as a reservoir. Liquid flow rate, shower holes diameter, aeration velocity and the middle part height of the bioreactor have been studied as factors influencing the hydrodynamics. The results showed that the highest mass transfer coefficient was 30.1 1/h which was achieved when the liquid flow rate, the shower holes diameter, aeration velocity and middle part height of the bioreactor were 280 mL/min, 2 mm, 0.03 vvm and 60 cm, respectively.

Based on CO2-NaOH system, the absorption performances and the mass transfer of the rotating packed bed with the three different types of the gas-liquid distribution inducer were investigated. The experimental results showed that the structure of the gas-liquid distribution inducer have an important effect on the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the absorptivity of CO2. Due to the enhancement of the countercurrent contact between the liquid phase and the gas phase from the installation of the distribution inducer, an increasement of the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and a higher absorptivity of CO2 could be obtained than those of the experiment in PRB without any inducers. Among the distribution inducers, the combination of the liquid distribution inducer of Type-B and the gas distribution inducer of Type-A could give a better volumetric mass transfer coefficient and a higher absorptivity of CO2, which were 27.84×10-3 s-1 and 80.00%, respectively.
