Journal ArticleDOI
Pretreatment of petrochemical wastewater by coagulation and flocculation and the sludge characteristics.
TL;DR: Coagulation-flocculation was investigated as a pretreatment process for the treatment of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) wastewater and showed that the addition of cationic polyacrylamide to ferric chloride coagulation improved the filtration characteristics and reduced the specific cake resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of process parameters for acrylonitrile removal by a low-cost adsorbent using Box–Behnken design
TL;DR: The results of RSM indicate that the proposed models predict the responses adequately within the limits of input parameters being used and indicate the sorption process to be spontaneous and exothermic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil field effluent water treatment for safe disposal by electroflotation
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of an electroflotation cell with perforated aluminium electrodes was examined and the effect of operating parameters such as pH, voltage, oil concentration, flotation time, and salinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorptive removal of acrylonitrile by commercial grade activated carbon: kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics.
TL;DR: The Langmuir and R-P models were found to be the best to describe the equilibrium isotherm data of AN adsorption on PAC and GAC, respectively and the pseudo-second order kinetic model best represents the kinetics of the Adsorption of AN onto PAC andGAC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global degradation kinetics of pine needles in air
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal degradation characteristics of pine needles and its kinetics were analyzed by using a thermogravimetric analyzer from room temperature to 900°C in air atmosphere at different heating rates, viz. 5, 10, 15, 25 and 30 Kmin −1.
