Optimization of Ozonation Process for a Composting Leachate-Contaminated Soils Treatment Using Response Surface Method

The ozonation process has become one of the most favorable processes among soil remediation technologies nowadays. Ozone, which has an oxidation potential of 2.07 V and acts as a powerful oxidizer, is capable of degrading organic pollutants of soil in a short period of time without producing any toxic residuals. In this study the capability of ozone, as an ex-situ method of soil treatment, in remediating the leachate-contaminated soil has been investigated. To maximize the removal efficiency of organic content of soil, design of experiments using the response surface method (RSM) and central composite design (CCD) have been employed. To select the range of effective parameters several experiments were performed at laboratory scale. Results showed a range of effective parameters on the ozonation process, including pH, humidity, and initial soil pollution. Present research shows that acid-washed ozone greatly enhanced the removal efficiency. According to the developed model, the maximum removal efficiency using acid-washed ozone was obtained by setting the parameters as pH = 10.8, humidity of 5% and initial organic content of soil to be 7720 mg/kg. Confirmation experiments showed that RSM could be effectively utilized for the optimization of the ozonation process. Analysis of variance also showed that pH was the most significant factor affecting removal efficiency.     

Synthesis, characterization and application of allyl phenol modified amberlite XAD-4 resin for preconcentration and determination of copper in water samples

A new chelating resin was prepared by coupling Amberlite XAD-4 with phenol through an azo spacer, then modified by allyl bromide and characterized (by elemental analysis and IR) and studied for preconcentration of Cu(II) using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) for metal monitoring. The optimum pH value for sorption of the above mentioned metal ion was 4.5. The resin was subjected to chemical evaluation through batch binding and column chromatography of Cu(II). The chelating resin can be reused for 15 cycles of sorption-desorption without any significant change in sorption capacity. A recovery of 98% was obtained for the metal ion with 0.5 M HNO₃ as eluting agent. The equilibrium adsorption data of Cu(II) on modified resin were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models. Based on equilibrium adsorption data the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin constants were determined to be 0.061, 0.193 and 0.045 at pH 4.5 and 25 °C. The method was applied for the copper determination from industrial waste water sample.     

Assessing mobile phone communication utility preferences in a social support network

While it is generally accepted that the mobile cell phone has become ubiquitous within society for communicating, the actual use of the utilities on a phone have not been reported. Understanding how communication patterns are changing in society as a result of the mobile cell phone will enable the development and/or modification of existing cell phone utilities, the concept of privacy, and a mobile literacy research domain. To explore mobile cell phone utility use, 99 people completed a mobile phone usage questionnaire. Key results from the questionnaire are physical location when using a mobile cell phone, the length of communication episodes, the usage of phone utilities and existing privacy concerns related to mobile cell phones.     

Surface defect detection in tiling Industries using digital image processing methods: Analysis and evaluation

Ceramic and tile industries should indispensably include a grading stage to quantify the quality of products. Actually, human control systems are often used for grading purposes. An automatic grading system is essential to enhance the quality control and marketing of the products. Since there generally exist six different types of defects originating from various stages of tile manufacturing lines with distinct textures and morphologies, many image processing techniques have been proposed for defect detection. In this paper, a survey has been made on the pattern recognition and image processing algorithms which have been used to detect surface defects. Each method appears to be limited for detecting some subgroup of defects. The detection techniques may be divided into three main groups: statistical pattern recognition, feature vector extraction and texture/image classification. The methods such as wavelet transform, filtering, morphology and contourlet transform are more effective for pre-processing tasks. Others including statistical methods, neural networks and model-based algorithms can be applied to extract the surface defects. Although, statistical methods are often appropriate for identification of large defects such as Spots, but techniques such as wavelet processing provide an acceptable response for detection of small defects such as Pinhole. A thorough survey is made in this paper on the existing algorithms in each subgroup. Also, the evaluation parameters are discussed including supervised and unsupervised parameters. Using various performance parameters, different defect detection algorithms are compared and evaluated.     

Robust H ∞ sliding mode control with pole placement for a fluid power electrohydraulic actuator (EHA) system

In this paper, we exploit the sliding mode control problem for a fluid power electrohydraulic actuator (EHA) system. To characterize the nonlinearity of the friction, the EHA system is modeled as a linear system with a system uncertainty. Practically, it is assumed that the system is also subject to the load disturbance and the external noise. An integral sliding mode controller is proposed to design. The advanced techniques such as the H _∞ control and the regional pole placement are employed to derive the optimal feedback gain which can be calculated by solving a necessary and sufficient condition in the form of linear matrix inequality. A sliding mode control law is developed such that the sliding mode reaching law is satisfied. Simulation and comparison results show the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Surface and Subsurface Deformation of Wear-Resistant Steels Exposed to Impact Wear

The impact wear resistance of four different wear-resistant steel grades was investigated using different impact bodies. Post-test evaluation of the impact tested samples was performed by different techniques including 3D surface profilometry, microhardness indentation, optical and scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The tribological response of the steel plates during the impact is strongly dependent on the properties of the impacting body. The subsurface deformation was found to increase with increasing impact energy and/or impact velocity and decreasing steel hardness. On a microscopic scale, a number of interesting mechanisms were revealed within the deformed impact sites. Besides an overall plastic deformation, localized deformation resulting in narrow adiabatic shear bands with an ultra-fine microstructure was observed. Within these shear bands, showing intense shearing strain, nucleation of microvoids was frequently observed. Growth and linkage of these voids lead in crack formation along the shear bands and eventually flake-like wear fragments are detached when these cracks reach the surface.     

Measurement of in-plane effective thermal conductivity in PEM fuel cell diffusion media

Gas diffusion media used in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are highly anisotropic with significantly different transport property values in the through- and in-plane directions. In this study, experimental measurements of the in-plane effective thermal conductivity k for gas diffusion media used in PEM fuel cells have been carried out using a parallel thermal conductance technique. Conductivity values are measured at a mean sample temperature of 70 °C for six different material types and two different orientations in order to quantify the effect of PTFE content on thermal conductivity and to reveal any anisotropic behavior. The results vary from a minimum of k = 3.54 W/(m °C) to a maximum value of 15.1 W/(m °C) for various samples and configurations tested in this study, with an uncertainty between 1% and 2% for all the cases investigated.     

Successful Use of Geoelectrical Surveys in Area 3 of the Gol-e-Gohar Iron Ore Mine,Iran

Geoelectrical surveys were conducted in Area 3 of the Gol-e-Gohar iron ore mine to provide geological and hydrogeological information. Open pit mining is currently underway in the northern part of the Area, and underground mining operations are planned for the southern section. Groundwater has already been encountered in the open pit mine. Twenty five resistivity soundings were first performed in the mine area; then, induced polarization (IP) measurements were carried out to remove ambiguities between clay and water-bearing layers. To investigate fault zones as water conduits, combined resistivity profiling surveys were also carried out. These measurements provided a detailed structural map of the pit area. Resistivity and IP results have subsequently been confirmed by observations at three monitoring wells and the mine pit wall. Monitoring and piezometric wells will be drilled at locations suggested by the results of the geoelectrical surveys. Drainage galleries may be developed to dewater the open pit mine. However, another option being considered is to start the underground mining with the idea that it will initially simply serve as a dewatering mechanism.
