TL;DR: The results show that in most of the cases studied, the presence of organic compounds enhances the uptake of ammonium ion onto the ion exchangers, and ion exchange offers a number of advantages including the able to handle shock loadings and the ability to operate over a wider range of temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the treatment of industrial wastewater from a nylon-carpet printing plant in Northern Ireland which currently receives no treatment and is discharged straight to sea was investigated, showing that the bed depth service time (BDST) model proved effective for comparison of column variables with calculated BDST constants providing a useful indication of bed performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a brief review of some of the technologies being developed and including description of some types of novel reactors and relevant coupled reaction/separation processes is presented, which enhance reaction rate, reduce molar ratio of alcohol to oil and energy input by intensification of mass transfer and heat transfer and in situ product separation, thus achieve continuous product in a scalable unit.

TL;DR: The results showed that the mordenite exhibited higher overall uptake concentrations at equilibrium compared with clinoptilolite at solution concentrations greater than 80 mg/l, which was rather an unexpected result since the majority of other work shows clinoptILolite exhibiting a higher affinity for potassium ion compared with ammonium ion.

TL;DR: In this article, a fixed volume stirred tank reactor was used to study the kinetics of adsorption in a single component system, with results being modelled using a dual resistance external mass transfer and solid diffusivity model.
