Continuous Column Study of Chromium (VI) Adsorption by Ion Exchange Resin
Abstract: The Indion GS300 anion exchange resin was trialed for its ability to remove chromium (VI) from synthetic wastewater by continuous column experiments. The ability of Indion GS300 to adsorb chromium (VI) in a fixed-bed column was analyzed. The effects of operating parameters such as flow rate and bed depth on the sorption characteristics of Indion GS300 were investigated. The total adsorbed quantities, equilibrium characteristics were related to the effluent volumes …

Design and Control of Acrolein Production Process
Abstract: In this study, the design and control of acrolein production plant has been investigated. The proposed design consists of a reactor and two distillation columns. Propylene reacts with oxygen and produces acrolein, acrylic acid, carbon dioxide and water. Plant wide operability and control of the entire acrolein production plant with decentralized controllers are explained. Tray temperature control loop and composition control loop are designed to infer final product purity. From …

Removal and Recovery of Zn (II) from Electroplating Rinse Waters Using Cation-Exchange Resins in a Packed Column
Abstract: In the present study, adsorption of Zn (II) ion from rinse water of electroplating Zinc has been attempted by Indion 225 and Dueolite C20 cation exchange resins through batch and column mode. Based on isotherm analysis more efficient adsorbent is chosen for column mode adsorption studies. Indion 225 and Dueolite C20 cation exchange resins showed a remarkable increase in sorption capacity as 49.3mg/g and 13.9mg/g for Zn (II) ions respectively …
