Role of Reactive Extraction in Removal of Phenol from Wastewater
Abstract: Phenol is one of the most common organic water pollutants as it is highly toxic even at low concentration. Also, its presence in natural water can lead to the formation of substituted compounds during disinfection and oxidation processes. Reactive extraction method is found to be a capable alternate for separation of medium (300–3000 mg/l) to high (3000–6000 mg/l) concentration of phenol. The degree of extraction depends on nature of extractant, …

The Developed System of Continuous Utilization of Carbon Dioxide, Enrichment of the Atmosphere with Oxygen and Production of Biofuel Using the Resulting Concentrate of Rapidly Multiplying Microalgae
Abstract: It is known that microorganisms, such as microalgae, during photosynthesis utilize carbon dioxide and enrich the atmosphere with oxygen. Microalgae, on the other hand, can be converted into biofuels by extracting fatty acids from macromolecules known as lipids. Recovery of this fatty acid traditionally requires the removal of most of the water from the microalgae resulting in biomass slurry. The method developed earlier permitted to obtain a high-quality concentrate of …
