Two-Dimensional Modeling of the Effect of Relative Humidity on Volatile Organic Compounds Adsorption in a Fixed Bed Adsorber
DownloadFall 2017
Water vapor can affect adsorption of volatile organic compound (VOC) onto activated carbon. In this research, a two-dimensional heterogenous computational fluid dynamics model was developed and validated to understand the mechanism and kinetics during competitive adsorption between VOC and water...

Spring 2021
CO2 flooding is a widely used enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method (Jarrell et al., 2002). Dimethyl ether (DME) is potentially a good solvent and has good compatibility with both CO2 and hydrocarbons (Catchpole et al., 2009; Ratnakar et al., 2016a). Due to the good solubility of DME in both CO2 and...

Two-Stage Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Aggregation for the Flotation Separation of Fine and Ultrafine Minerals
DownloadSpring 2023
In mineral processing froth flotation is the most important technique to recover and separate different minerals. However, the flotation process deteriorates significantly with low efficiency and selectivity when mineral particles are smaller than 20 µm. Low flotation kinetics of fine hydrophobic...
