Investigation Of Sodium And Potassium Ions In Relation To Bioflocculation Of Mixed Culture MicroorganismsKara, Fadime 01 June 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Bioflocculation happens naturally and microorganisms aggregate into flocs during wastewater treatment. It is critical to understand the mechanisms of bioflocculation and its impact on the following solid/liquid separation process
since seperation by settling is one of the key aspects that determine the efficiency and the overall economy of activated sludge systems. Bioflocculation occurs via extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and cations by creating a matrix to hold various floc components together so the cations become an important part of the floc structure. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of monovalent cations specifically potassium and sodium (K and Na) on the bioflocculation, settleability and dewaterability of activated sludge. The particular aim is to grow the mixed culture microorganisms in the presence of specific cation so that the effect of cation on the stimulation of EPS production can be seen. In order to achieve this aim, semi-continuous reactors were separately operated at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 meq/L of each cation with mixed culture bacteria
and fed with synthetic feed medium representing influent to the activated sludge systems. Also, a control reactor at low cation dose was operated for each reactor set. The effective volume of the reactors was 2 L with 8 days of sludge residence time (SRT) and pH was kept at 7.7± / 0.3. The activated sludge reactors were operated until the reactors reached steady state and then related analyses were
conducted. It was found that addition of potassium and sodium ions at increasing concentrations resulted in increase in total polymer concentration. However,
potassium ions promoted the synthesis of both polysaccharide and protein type polymers whereas sodium ions tended to stimulate production of protein type polymers and had an affinity to bind more protein within the floc structure.
Sodium sludges had lower hydrophobicity and higher surface charges, so sodium ions led to deterioration in flocculation of sludges. Addition of both these ions decreased the dewaterability, sodium ions had more detrimental effect on
dewaterability of sludges compared to potassium ions. The examination of data related to settleability showed that potassium ions led to no drastic deterioration in settling characteristics of the activated sludge but the addition of sodium ions deteriorated the settleability. In addition, it was seen that while the addition of potassium ions to the feed led to a decrease in viscosity, increase in sodium concentration correlated with an increase in viscosity. Finally, the comparison of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency of these cations showed that sodium is more efficient in COD removal.

Previous issue date: 2011 / CAPES / Devido aos inúmeros incentivos governamentais que impulsionam a produção do Biodiesel no mundo, tal combustível está sendo produzido largamente, e um fator preocupante frente a esse crescimento é o destino do glicerol excedente, já que seu uso é condicionado ao seu grau de pureza, que deve estar usualmente acima de 95%. No caso do glicerol bruto, resultante do processo de transesterificação do biodiesel, são necessários processos complexos e onerosos para que essa matéria-prima alcance as exigências em grau de pureza necessária para seu emprego. Além disso, os mercados tradicionais que o consomem (indústria de cosméticos, resinas, indústria farmacêutica, têxtil e alimentícia) têm uma capacidade limitada de absorção de quantidades maiores desse sub-produto.
Sendo assim, esse trabalho tem como objetivo promover modificações estruturais na molécula do glicerol (comercial, alcalino e bruto), utilizando como agentes oxidantes os sais de bismuto (Zn(BiO3)2 e NaBiO3), NaClO e KBrO3/NaHSO3. As reações foram realizadas em ácido acético , ácido lático, acetona, água, com variação de tempo, temperatura, concentração dos reagentes e catalisadores. Essa metodologia sintética tem como finalidade gerar produtos com maior valor agregado tornando o glicerol um sub-produto mais reaproveitado e competitivo no mercado. Os melhores resultados na conversão do glicerol para os produtos mono, di e triacetilados foram alcançados utilizando 1mol% do catalisador NaBiO3 em diferentes concentrações de ácido acético glacial. Na ausência do catalisador a reação também ocorre, porém com tempo elevado. Em nenhum dos experimentos ocorreu à oxidação do glicerol. O modelo experimental realizado mostrou que é necessário excesso de ácido a fim de promover o equilíbrio na direção da conversão do glicerol e seletividade para os produtos mais valiosos comercialmente, o di e triacetilados. / Salvador

Síntese de catalisadores baseados em vanádio suportado em aluminas de transição modificadas por metais alcalinos e avaliação catalítica na reação de desidrogenação oxidativa do propano / Synthesis of vanadium-based catalysts supported on transition alumina modified with alkali metals and catalytic evaluation for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane reactionCrivelaro, Vinicius Martin 21 October 2016 (has links)
Em ultimas décadas, a conversão de alcanos leves em suas correspondentes olefinas tem sido objeto de intensas pesquisas, impulsionadas inclusive pelo aumento crescente da demanda do propileno como um importante produto petroquímico. A desidrogenação oxidativa (ODH) do propano representa uma via alternativa promissor para a produção de propeno, ao apresentar-se como uma reação exotérmica e não limitada termodinamicamente. Diferentes óxidos suportados ou mistos têm sido desenvolvidos com a finalidade de aumentar a atividade e seletividade em relação as olefinas. Metais alcalinos são importantes agentes promotores que proporcionam uma melhor seletividade as olefinas devido a redução da acidez e aumento da basicidade da superfície do catalisador. A proposta deste presente trabalho foi desenvolver metodologias de síntese de catalisadores de oxido de vanádio suportado em aluminas de diferentes fases cristalinas e dopados com sódio ou potássio a fim de avalia-los em testes catalíticos de desidrogenação oxidativa do propano. Para tanto, foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas de caracterização: volumetria N2, difratometria de raios X (DRX) e redução a temperatura programada (RTP). As características acidas e/ou básicas dos suportes e catalisadores foram avaliadas pelas reações de decomposição de isopropanol. / In recent decades, the conversion of light alkanes to their corresponding olefins has been the subject of intense research, mainly driven by the increasing demand of propylene as an important petrochemical product. Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) propane is a promising alternative way to propylene production, which it is presented as an exothermic reaction and not limited thermodynamically. Different supported or mixed oxides have been developed in order to increase the activity and selectivity to olefins. Alkali metals are important promoters, which provide improved selectivity to olefins due to reduction of acidity and increasing basicity of the catalyst surface. The purpose of the present study was to develop synthesis methods of vanadium oxide catalysts supported on alumina of the different crystalline phases and doped with sodium or potassium in order to evaluate them in catalytic tests of propane oxidative dehydrogenation. For in such a way, the following characterization techniques were used: N2 volumetry, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The properties acid and/or basic of supports and catalysts were evaluated by the isopropanol decomposition reaction.

Electrocaloric materials and devicesCrossley, Samuel January 2013 (has links)
The temperature and/or entropy of electrically polarisable materials can be altered by changing electric field E. Research into this electrocaloric (EC) effect has focussed on increasing the size of the EC effects, with the long-term aim of building a cooler with an EC material at its heart. Materials and experimental methods are briefly reviewed. A ‘resetting’ indirect route to isothermal entropy change ∆S for hysteretic first-order transitions is described. An indirect route to adiabatic temperature change ∆T, without the need for field-resolved heat capacity data, is also described. Three temperature controllers were built: a cryogenic probe for 77-420 K with ∼5 mK resolution, a high-temperature stage with vacuum enclosure for 295-700 K with ∼15 mK resolution, and a low-temperature stage for 120-400 K with electrical access via micropositioners. Automation enables dense datasets to be compiled. Single crystals of inorganic salts (NH4)2SO4 , KNO3 and NaNO2 were obtained. Applying 380 kV cm−1 across (NH4)2SO4 , it was found that |∆S| ∼ 20 J K−1 kg−1 and |∆T | ∼ 4 K, using the indirect method near the Curie temperature TC = 223 K. Without the ‘resetting’ indirect method, |∆S| ∼ 45 J K−1 kg−1 would have been spuriously found. Preliminary indirect measurements on KNO3 and NaNO2 give |∆S| ∼ 75 J K−1 kg−1 for ∆E ∼ 31 kV cm−1 near TC = 400 K and |∆S| ∼ 14 J K−1 kg−1 for ∆E ∼ 15 kV cm−1 near TC = 435 K, respectively. A cation-ordered PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 ceramic showing a nominally first-order transition at 295 K was obtained. The Clausius-Clapeyron phase diagram is revealed via indirect measurements where |∆S| ∼ 3.25 J K−1 kg−1 and |∆T | ∼ 2 K, and direct measurements where |∆T | ∼ 2 K. Clamped samples show broadening of the field-induced transition. Epitaxial, ∼64 nm-thick SrTiO3 films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on NdGaO3 (001) substrates with a La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 bottom electrode. The indirect method gives |∆S| ∼ 8 J K−1 kg−1 and |∆T | ∼ 3.5 K near 180 K with |∆E| = 780 kV cm−1. Finite element modelling (FEM) was used to optimise the geometry of multilayered capacitors (MLCs) for EC cooling. Intrinsic cooling powers of 25.9 kW kg−1 are predicted for an optimised MLC based on PVDF-TrFE with Ag electrodes.
