Abstract This study explores the possibility of applying high-gravity rotating packed bed (HGRPB) in removing H2S and CO2 from biogas. Ca(OH)2 aqueous solution was used as the absorbent in this study. Different experimental conditions including solution pH, rotating speed (R S) of HGRPB, gas flow rate (Q G), and liquid flow rate (Q L) were investigated with respect to the removal efficiency (E) of H2S and CO2. The experimental and simulated results show that the optimal removal efficiency of H2S and CO2 using HGRPB achieved nearly the same as 99.38 and 99.56% for removal efficiency of H2S and 77.28 and 77.86% for removal efficiency of CO2, respectively. Such efficiencies corresponded with the following optimal conditions: a solution pH of 12.26, HGRPB reactor with the rotating speed of 1,200 rpm, the gas flow rate of 2.46 (L/min), and the liquid flow rate of 0.134 (L/min).

The absorption performance of CO2 using MDEA-PZ-TETA ternary absorbent in a rotating packed bed was investigated. The effects of the concentration of the ternary absorbent, the absorbing liquid temperature, the rotating speed, the liquid flow rate and gas flow rate on the absorption performance of CO2 were discussed in detail. The experimental results showed that the optimum absorption condition was the absorbent concentration of 0.05 mol/L, the absorption temperature of 290 K, the rotating speed of 454 rpm and the ratio of gas to liquid of 1.2, which could provide a molar absorption saturated capacity of 1.3688 molCO2/molAm and a satisfying CO2 absorptivity of 93.18%.

The degradation effectiveness and reaction kinetics of representative organophosphorus (OP) pesticide in a packed-bed plasma reactor have been studied. Important parameters, including peak voltage, pulse frequency, gas-flow rate, initial concentration, diameter of catalyst particles, and thickness of catalyst bed which influences the removal efficiency, were investigated. Experimental results indicated that rogor removal efficiency as high as 80% can be achieved at 35 kV with the gas flow rate of 800 mL/min and initial concentration of 11.2 mg/m3.The removal efficiency increased with the increase of pulsed high voltage, and pulse frequency, the decrease of the diameter of catalyst particles and the thickness of catalyst bed. Finally, a model was established to predict the degradation of the rogor, which generally can simulate the experimental measurements to some degree.

Ozonation of clofibric acid (CA) in aqueous solution was carried out under continuous operation in a cascade bubble column. The influence of operation parameters including initial CA concentration, gas flow rate, liquid flow rate and pH on the removal of CA and TOC was investigated. The results indicated that ozonation could be used to effectively remove CA from water. Increasing the initial CA concentration resulted in a decrease of the CA and TOC removal efficiency. A comparison of CA removal efficiency and ozone utilization between cascade and conventional bubble column indicated that cascade bubble column was an effective way for increasing the solubility ozone in the reactor.

In this work, simultaneous absorption of SO2and NO from N2-NO-SO2simulated flue gas using sodium chlorate as the additive and urea as the reductant was investigated experimentally in a rotating packed bed. In RPB, various rotational speeds, gas flow rates and liquid flow rates were studied by means of the removal efficiency of SO2and NO. The experimental results showed that the removal efficiency of SO2was higher than 99.00% under various experimental conditions and, at the same time, the removal efficiency of NO exhibited different results under various experimental conditions. The simultaneous NO removal efficiency of 82.45% and the SO2removal efficiency of 99.49% could be obtained under the N2flow rate of 0.5 m3/h, SO2flow rate of 6 mL/min, the NO flow rate of 4 mL/min, the rotational speed of 460 rpm and the absorbent flow rate of 40 L/h.

Based on acetone-H2O system, the influence of the gas-liquid distribution inducer on the mass transfer coefficient in the rotating packed bed with the stainless steel packing was investigated. Furthermore, the absorption performance was also obtained under the experimental condition of the rotational speed of 630 rpm, the gas flow rate of 2 m3/h and the liquid flow rate of 100 L/h in the rotating packed bed with different types and different installation ways of the distribution inducer. The experimental results showed that the volumetric mass transfer coefficient Kyα per unit contact length of gas-liquid was increased by 8.6% for the forward-curved fixed blade, by 19.8% for the backward-curved rotor blade and by 33.2% with the combination of the straight radial rotor blade and the backward-curved fixed blade, respectively. Furthermore, when the gas flow rate was 2.5 m3/h, Kyα per unit contact length of gas-liquid was increased by 2.9% for the forward-curved fixed blade, by 25.3% for the backward-curved rotor blade, by 42.7% for the combination of the straight radial rotor blade and the backward-curved fixed blade, respectively. The results indicated that the distribution inducer play an important role on the improvement of the mass transfer coefficient in acetone-H2O system.

The aim of this research is to determine the total mass transfer coefficient and analyze the effect of the absorbent flow rate of the absorbent solution with the promoter and the gas flow rate to the total mass transfer coefficient value. The variables consisted of liquid flow rate: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 liter/min, gas flow rate: 15, 25, 30, 40, 50 liter/min and MSG concentration: 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% by weight. The solution of Pottasium Carbonate as absorbent with MSG promoter is flowed through top column and CO2 gas flowed from bottom packed column. Liquids were analyzed by titration and the gas output was analyzed by GC. From this research, it is found that the flow rate of gas and the liquid flow rate is directly proportional to the value of KGa. The liquid flow rate variable 5 liters / minute, gas flow rate 15 l / min obtained value of KGa 11,1102 at concentration of MSG 5%. Keywords:  Absorption, CO2,  K2CO3, MSG.

This paper presents a unified model that inter-relates gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, and hold-ups of each of the liquid, gas, and solid phases in three-phase, fluidized-bed biofilm (TPFBB) process. It describes how carrier properties, biofilm properties, and gas and liquid flow velocities control the system dynamics, which ultimately will affect the density, thickness, and distribution of the biofilm. The paper describes the development of the mathematical model to correlate the effects of gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, solid concentration, and biofilm thickness and density. This knowledge is critically needed in light of the use of TPFBB processes in treating industrial wastewater, which often has high substrate concentration. For example, the proper design of the TPFBB process requires mathematical description of the cause-effect relationship between biofilm growth and fluidization.

Spray columns are widely used in industry as a gas-liquid contacting apparatus because of the advantages of a high transfer area per unit volume and the tow gas side resistance. For a large number of systems, mass transfer parameters are not available and an experimental determination for the system benzene/wash oil was therefore carried out. The experimental technique and design are described. The variation in mass transfer coefficient as function of gas flow rate, liquid flow rate and column height agrees with those published elsewhere.

In this work, the azoxystrobin removal in water by using a micro-size discharge array was investigated, and the removal efficiency can reach as high as 98.1% after 9 min plasma treatment as well as the energy utilization being only 0.73 g/(kW·h). Based on the relationship between the generation of gas bubbles and parameters of gas-liquid discharge, it was found that the variation of applied voltage, gas flow rate and initial solution temperature could cause particle number change, mass transfer rate change and the mass transfer time change, which significantly affected the practical applications at last. The experimental results indicated that when gas flow rate was 0.7 SLM (Standard Liter per Minute) and the initial solution temperature was 297 K with the applied voltage of 8 kV and discharge frequency of 6 kHz, the removal efficiency of azoxystrobin achieved maximum. Based on the analysis results of liquid mass spectrometry, the removal pathways of azoxystrobin were supposed by the decomposed by-products. Toxicity tests indicated that the decomposed products were safe and non-toxic. So, this study may reveal an azoxystrobin degradation mechanism and provide a safe, reliable and effective way for azoxystrobin degradation.


Nowadays, CO2 as the product of fossil fuel combustions, is polluting the air and the human environment, and it causes global warming. To reduce the negative effect of CO2 presence, it should be removed from the air by capturing methods. Hollow fiber membrane contactor (HFMC) system is one of the most efficient method for CO2 capturing than the other feasible capturing methods. In the present paper an HFMC absorbing system has been simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics software and the effect of flow rates of gas and liquid on the amount of CO2 removal has been studied. Aqueous solution of Mono-ethanolamine (MEA) is entered as the absorbent liquid in the tubes, and CO2 is removed from the shell side by the diffusion phenomena by participating in the chemical reaction with MEA. The results show that the higher liquid flow rate the higher %CO2 removal from the inserted gas. Against this result, the percentage of CO2 removal decreases with increasing the gas flow rate as expected. Higher gas flow rate leads the gas velocity to higher values and less possibility of absorbing by the diffusion method. The rate of the CO2 removal variation with liquid flow rate is higher than the CO2 removal variation whit the gas flow rate.
