  • Density Of Bulk Density

    604 Words  | 2 Pages

    V. BULK DENSITY OF POWDERED CARBON Bulk density is important when powdered carbon is removed from the treated waste water by filtration because it determines the weight of carbon that can be contained in a filter of given volumetric solids capacity. When two carbons differing in bulk density are used at the same weight of carbon required per gallon per gallon, more gallons can be filtered with higher density carbon before the available cake space is full. Since cleaning and restarting a filter is

  • Arsenic Essay

    1785 Words  | 4 Pages

    Arsenic, a heavy metal with an unknown biological function, is widely acknowledged for its biological toxicity in human health. The occurrence of Arsenic in the immediate environment comes both as a result of natural (e.g. naturally contaminated groundwater) and artificial (e.g. percolation of water from mines) causes. Arsenic is a highly occurring contaminant in groundwater in many areas of the world. These include countries such as Cambodia, Argentina, Chile, Hungary, Mexico, Bangladesh and the

  • Activated Charcoal Research Paper

    778 Words  | 2 Pages

    Activated Charcoal and Its Survival Uses Before we get started let's have a short science class on activated charcoal. The short version is that activated charcoal is carbon, real organic material that has been reduced to charcoal just like a piece of hardwood burning in your campfire. Once in charcoal form it is then crushed into a fine powder and heated at a very high temperature, a temperature that cannot be achieved by an open fire such as a campfire. Once heated it is then exposed to argon

  • Analysis of Adsorbable Organic Halogens Compounds

    1430 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introduction “AOX” is the abbreviation of the sum parameter for water soluble “adsorbable organic halogens” in which ‘A’ stands for adsorbable, ‘O’ for organic and ‘X’ for the halogens chlorine, bromine and iodine. After the introduction of the AOX in 1976, this parameter has been correctly used for “real” AOX constituents (DDT and its metabolites, PCBs, etc.); but also misused for non-adsorbable adsorbed OX-compounds, mostly high molecular organohalogens in plants and even to inorganic compounds

    (apart from water and carbon dioxide which are in excess proportions and others components found in traces). B. Anaerobic Digestion Anaerobic Digestion is a natural process where plant and animal materials (biomass) are broken down by micro-organisms in the absence of air. The nature of the raw materials and the operational conditions used during anaerobic digestion, determine the chemical composition of the biogas. Raw biogas consists mainly of methane (CH4, 40–75%) and carbon dioxide (CO2, 15–60%)

  • Case Study: Zero Sludge Production of a Slaughterhouse’s Wastewater Treatment Plant.

    TKN and TSS concentration ranging from 1000-20000 mg L-1, 150-10000mg L-1 and 250-5000mg L-1 respectively (Li et al, 2008). For large scale slaughterhouses, on-site biological treatment is recommended by the European Commission to remove organic carbon and nutrients before the wastewater is discharged to surface water or local wastewater treatment plants (EC, 2005). This has forced many industries to treat their wastewater to a level obtainable by implementing the best available technology for wastewater

  • Essay On Titanium Alloys

    1835 Words  | 4 Pages

    Tool wear is a problem in machining titanium alloy, so it is of great importance to find out the wear mechanism of cutting tools in order to improve the cutting tool life time. The mechanism controlling the wear of cemented carbide and influence of cutting parameters on different wear modes in machining Ti6Al4V has been investigated in this paper. Diffusion and chemical wear at high cutting speed and feed rate and attrition in low speed and feed rate is suggested to be the dominant wear mechanism

  • Essay On Carbon Dioxide

    530 Words  | 2 Pages

    INTRODUCTION: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key global warming gas that is proposed to have direct linkage to global climate changes [1, 2]. Therefore, there is a growing interest in developing technologies for efficient capture and sequestration of large quantities of CO2. An efficient and economical capture material is needed to capture and separate the CO2 produced during various industrial processes. There are four potential sources of carbon dioxide emission; industrial processes, fossil fueled

    similar numbers of carbon atoms. (Ke C 10,11) Refineries often use cracking to produce chemicals from oil which can be useful precursors. Explain why we have to “Crack” long-chain hydrocarbons instead of using the products of fractional distillation directly when we manufacture plastics By cracking it will let us turn long chain molecules into shorter and more usable ones. It always makes short-chain composites, for example ethene and propene which have a double bond between carbon atoms. The double

  • Chemistry: The Oxygen Family

    2129 Words  | 5 Pages

    Also known as the oxygen family, chalcogens are sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium(Te), and polonium (Po). Oxygen (O) is also in group 16, where chalcogens are located on the periodic table. While it is defined as a chalcogen, oxygen and oxides are often separated from chalcogens because its chemical behavior is much different than that of the other elements in the group. The other elements in the group show similar patterns in their electron configurations resulting in similar chemical behavior

    may ask? Well organic compounds are compounds that always contain carbon, or any compound that contains a carbon atom. But some describe organic compounds as any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly are hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. But there are a few exceptions to this organic rule, which are carbon monoxide, carbonates, carbon dioxide, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates, which are
