In order to optimize the process conditions for regeneration of activated carbon form spent catalyst resulted from 3,4,5,6-tetrachloropyridine-2-carbonitrile synthesis. A two-step process involving the thermal desorption of spent activated carbon and the activation of activated carbon treated by thermal desorption with steam was designed. The influence of desorption temperature, time and the flow rate of nitrogen on the yield of chlorides, the iodine adsorption capacity and the yield of activated carbon were investigated, respectively . The optimal desorption conditions were: temperature of 650°C, time of 90min and the flow rate of nitrogen of 30ml/min. The yield of the chlorides obtained under the optimal conditions was 14.85%. The regeneration of activated carbon treated by thermal desorption with steam; the optimized conditions analyzed by RSM were regeneration temperature of 696°C, time of 84 min and flow rate of steam of 0.58g/min. The experimental results on the optimized conditions were iodine adsorption value of 1003.59mg / g, These methods can not only recover chloride in the spent activated carbon, but also the regeneration activated carbon could partially replace the fresh activated carbon, which would bring an obvious economical benefit and social benefit.

AbstractEupatorium adenophorum was utilized as raw materials for the preparation of activated carbon via microwave assisted steam activation. Influences of the three vital process parameters – activation temperature, activation duration and steam flow rate – have been assessed on the adsorption capacity and yield of Eupatorium adenophorum activated carbon (EAAC). The process parameters were optimized utilizing the Design Expert software and were identified to be an activation duration of 45 min, an activation temperature of 950 °C and a steam flow rate of 0.7 ml/min, with the resultant iodine number and yield being 1,010 mg/g and 20.13% respectively. The validity of process model to optimize the process parameters was verified using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The key parameters that characterize quality of the porous carbon such as the BET surface area, total pore volume and average pore diameter were estimated to be 1,142 m2/g, 0.84 ml/g and 3.3 nm respectively, for the sample corresponding to the optimized process conditions. Additionally the pore structure is characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The present work strongly supports utilization of Eupatorium adenophorum as a potential precursor through microwave heating.

The production of activated carbon (AC) from sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was carried out using central composite design of response surface method to run a limited number of experiments with the possibility of revealing the interaction of three selected factors of temperature, time and nitrogen/steam flowrate at different levels. Two second order quadratic regression model equations were developed using statistical analysis with Design Expert® software. The models were used for the prediction of removal of Cd2+ and carbon yield. Correlation coefficients (R2) were 0.957 for removal and 0.985 for yield, showing the sufficiency of the model in predicting response within 13 experimental runs. Characterization of the product with optimal performance which was produced at 900oC, with nitrogen/steam flow of 100 mL/min and activation time of 30 minutes, was carried out. The performance showed this AC sample was able to remove 62.42% Cd2+ from an aqueous solution with concentration 2 mg/L within 2 hours at optimized conditions. Experimental results indicated that AC from SCB had good prospect for Cd2+ removal.

After being subjected to thermal treatment by microwave, a carbon-based spent catalyst from vinyl acetate synthesis has been proved to be a good precursor for the production of ZnO/activated carbon (AC) composites. Different operating activated times were found to have effect on the properties of the composites. As the activated time rises, the surface area of the activated carbon that is acting as the catalyst support increases due to the decomposition of the organic deposits that are clogging the porous structure. XRD was used to evaluate the transformation of zinc acetate to zinc oxide after thermal treatment. Both the iodine adsorption capacity and the yield of the resulting composites were calculated and SEM-EDX analysis was used to evaluate the changes in surface morphology.

A dependable, sensitive, basic and cheap spectrofluorimetric approach has been created for test of sulfur-containing drug; ixabepilone in bulk powder, vials and human plasma. The approach depends on the quenching effect of ixabepilone on the fluorescence intensity of acetoxymercuric fluorescene (AMF) reagent at λem of 530 nm and λex of 500 nm. Parameters which will control the reaction such as pH, AMF solution concentration, temperature, time and solvents were examined and optimized. According to the optimized conditions, the proposed approach was practiced over the concentration area of 20-100 ng mL-1 with adequate linearity (r = 0.9998). The developed approach was approved confirming to ICH rules in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, LOD and LOQ. The proposed approach was practiced to analyze ixabepilone in Ixempra® vials with satisfactory recovery % of 99.89 and RSE% of 1.24. The results achieved were compared to those achieved by an already reported HPLC approach.

Garlic exerts its pharmacological activities; antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemia, antihypercholesterolemic, and antihypertensive activity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine and optimize the influence of the individual and interactive effect of process conditions variables on the yield of garlic extract powders by three factors and three level-Box-Behnken design under response surface methodology. Spray drying processes the transformation of a garlic juice extract into a dried powder, where usually maltodextrin (MD) as a drying agent is used. According to experimental design, the mixing of garlic juice extract (85 – 95 %w/w) and MD (5 – 15 %w/w) were dried at an air inlet temperature 110°C - 150°C and liquid feed flow rate 5 – 35 rpm. The optimum spray-drying process conditions which maximized the yield of garlic extract powder (31%w/w) were found as follows: air inlet temperature of 150°C, the liquid feed flow rate of 16 rpm, and 5 %w/w MD. The experimental values slightly closed to the corresponding predicted values. Hence, the developed model was adequate and possible to use.

Al thin films were prepared over different substrates at various process conditions using DC sputtering. The surface topography of all prepared films was examined using AFM technique. Very smooth, uniform and dense surface were observed for Al films coated over Glass substrates. The observed particle size was nano scale (20 -70 nm) for Glass substrates. Sputtering power showed immense effect on surface roughness with respective to Ar gas flow rate. Noticeable change on surface with large particles was observed in Copper substrates at various sputtering power and gas flow rate.
