Continuous precipitation of calcium sulfate dihydrate from waste sulfuric acid and lime

Precipitation of calcium sulfate dihydrate, gypsum, from (i) a pure sulfuric acid/lime suspension and (ii) a waste sulfuric acid/lime suspension in a continuous pilot plant in the temperature range from 40 °C to 80 °C was studied. It was observed that in the case of waste sulfuric acid with a high content of Mg²⁺ and Fe²⁺ ions, several hours after the beginning of the precipitation, partial dissolution of the product and modification of the crystals from needle‐ and plate‐like to agglomerated structures occurred. It is suggested that the secondary changes occur due to the increased concentration of Mg²⁺ and Fe²⁺ ions in the reactor. Below 60 °C, and above 70 °C plate‐like and needle‐like single crystals respectively were formed. The mean size (d₅₀) of the crystals was found to increase with increasing temperature and decrease with the initial concentration of lime. Gypsum produced between 70 °C and 80 °C is suitable for further processing for construction plaster. In a precipitation process with pure sulfuric acid only single perfect needle‐like crystals occurred. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry

JETS,PLUMES AND BUOYANT JETS IN STATIC ENVIRONMENT

Turbulence represents an essential aspect in atmospheric and oceanic circulations.In particu-lar,it is a preponderant factor in the dispersion of pollutants of artificial or natural origin.Thevertical turbulent jets,plumes and buoyant jets discharging into static environment is one of themost important and basic flow patterns related with the environment pollution.These flows havenumerous important applications,for example,thrust augmentors,waste disposal plumes fromstacks and combustion systems,and significant problems of turbulent diffusion.     

Coliphage prevalence in high school septic effluent and associated ground water

At the present time, somatic and male-specific coliphage and human enterovirus groups are being considered as indicators of possible pathogenic human enteric virus contamination from fecal contamination. A primary attribute for any indicator of fecal contamination is its prevalence at the source and in associated ground water. It must be consistently found in the source material at concentrations that are measurable with available techniques. Over a period of ten months, male-specific and somatic coliphage ranged from 7000 to 4,000,000 PFU/L in the effluent from a multi-user septic-tank. Unlike the values determined for septic-tank effluent, coliphage concentrations measured in ground water over this same period only varied by five-fold. Coliphage concentration in ground water under the down-gradient edge of the drainfield contained 1000 PFU/L. This concentration decreased at −1 log₁₀/5 m during 17.4 m of ground-water transport. From these data, coliphage concentrations in septic-tank effluent seem sufficient to allow their use as indicators of fecal contamination in ground water.

Study of direct and indirect naphtha recycling to a resid FCC unit for maximum propylene production

To satisfy the increasing propylene demand, direct and indirect naphtha recycling schemes around an existing resid fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit were investigated. To this aim, light cracked naphtha (LCN), heavy cracked naphtha (HCN) and a PolyNaphtha (PN) oligomerisation product were cracked under a wide range of operating conditions over a commercial Y zeolite based equilibrium catalyst. Experimental data were acquired in three different units: a fixed bed bench scale unit, a fixed fluidised bed unit and an adiabatic circulating fluidised bed pilot plant. It was shown that FCC naphthas require high operating severities to crack, and that even then their conversion remains relatively moderate. Hence, direct recycling to the main riser does not seem a viable pathway to increase propylene product. Feeding FCC naphthas to a second reaction zone operating at high severity allows to increase the propylene yield in a significant manner. Increasing conversion, however, not only leads to higher LPG and propylene yields, but also results in very high dry gas yields. An alternative scheme was proposed, in which the olefinic C₄ and C₅ fractions are converted into a naphtha fraction through oligomerisation in a dedicated unit before being recracked in the secondary riser. As the highly olefinic oligomerised effluent mainly consist of dimerised and trimerised butenes and pentenes, this feed is more easily cracked and high conversions can be achieved. This indirect interconversion of butenes and pentenes into propylene therefore effectively allows to convert these butenes and pentenes into propylene, resulting in a significant increase in propylene yield. Each of the three main naphtha recycle options (directly to the main riser, directly to a secondary riser or indirectly via a light olefin oligomerisation unit) have been analysed and compared to a base case. In the evaluation of each of these schemes, all heat balance effects, both on the riser and the regenerator side, have been accounted for. The proposed process scheme with an indirect recycle via an oligomerisation unit enhances the already inherent flexibility of the FCC unit. The naphtha recycle can be turned on or off, the second reaction zone can be used to crack naphtha or to crack resid feed to maximise throughput, while the effluent of the oligomerisation unit can be recycled to the FCC unit for propylene production or hydrogenated and sent to gasoline and kerosene pool.

Hazardous waste management problem: The case for incineration

We define the hazardous waste management problem as the combined decisions of selecting the disposal method, siting the disposal plants and deciding on the waste flow structure. The hazardous waste management problem has additional requirements depending on the selected disposal method. In this paper we focus on incineration, for which the main additional requirement is to satisfy the air pollution standards imposed by the governmental restrictions. We propose a cost-based mathematical model in which the satisfaction of air pollution standards is also incorporated. We used the Gaussian Plume equation in measuring the air pollution concentrations at population centers. A large-scale implementation of the proposed model within Turkey is provided.
