The results of struvite reaction crystallization from diluted water solutions of phosphates (V) (0.20 mass% of PO43-) by means of magnesium and ammonium ions are presented. Continuous FB MSZ crystallizer with jet pump driven by compressed air was used. Influence of pH and mean residence time of suspension on the crystal product quality was determined. Increase in pH from 9 to 11 resulted that mean crystal size decreased nearly two-time: from 27.1 to 15.1μm for mean residence time of suspension 900 s. Elongation of this time from 900 to 3,600 s influenced struvite crystal size advantageously-it increased from 27.1 to 41.2 μm at pH 9. From the population density distributions nucleation and growth rates of struvite were calculated based on the simplest SIG model of mass crystallization kinetics in MSMPR crystallizer. Linear growth rate ofstruvite crystals decreased nearly two-time with the increase in environment pH from 9 to 11, and more than 2.5-time with the elongation of mean residence time of crystal suspension in a crystallizer from 900 to 3,600 s from 1.34× 10-8 m/s (pH 9, τ= 900 s) to 2.60×10-9 m/s (pH 11, τ= 3,600 s).

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment is an important issue for the minimization of pollution. POME is a highly polluting effluent containing various forms of organics and inorganic suspended solids. The coagulation-flocculation process using Moringa oleifera seeds after oil extraction (MOAE) as a natural coagulant presents a viable alternative for the treatment of POME. A series of jar tests were conducted to determine the parameters involved during coagulation-flocculation process. The influence of the different operating parameters over the sediment volumetric percentage, settling velocity, sludge volume index (SVI) and residual conductivity of the POME treated supernatant to achieve good settleability parameters in the physicochemical treatment of POME wastewater was studied. The operating parameters were the effect of stirring speed, mixing time, pH, MOAE dosage and temperature. The pretreatment using MOAE with NALCO 7751 flocculant resulted in 99.2% suspended solids removal and 52.5% chemical oxygen demands (COD) reduction.

Natural gas, biogas and synthesis gas from coal gasification contain hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) that is toxic and strong odorous for human. It is high corrosive for engine. Among various methods for H 2 S removal, the adsorption by activated carbon is known as an efficient process for low concentration H 2 S removal. Moreover, activated carbon is not only inexpensive but also produces from agricultural waste in Thailand. The objective of this work is for upgrading the commercial-grade activated carbon by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) impregnation and the combination of steam activation and NaOH impregnation. The aim of upgrading is to improve the performance of H 2 S removal from fuel gases. The commercial and NaOH-impregnated activated carbons were tested by the temperature program adsorption of H 2 S at 30°C and 550°C. The results showed that the adsorption capacities of the NaOH-impregnated activated carbons are significantly higher than the commercial activated carbon (in the range of 2-21 times higher depending on the temperature of adsorption). At high temperature of adsorption, the adsorption capacity of the NaOH-impregnated activated carbon was 30.10 mg of H 2 S per gram of activated carbon. It can be concluded that the upgraded activated carbons is applicable for hot fuel gas purification. The concentration of H 2 S comes out at the outlet gas after treatment by the upgraded materials was almost 0 ppmv, which is safe for utilizing in fuel cell system and power engine.

In Thailand, biogas is one of a renewable energy that can be utilized for fuel and electricity generator. It contains methane (CH 4 ), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), Oxygen (O 2 ) and a contaminant; hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S). H 2 S is toxicity and high corrosion for engine. H 2 S can be removed from biogas by adsorption over activated carbon, which can be produced from agricultural waste in Thailand. The purpose of this work is to test performance of commercial and modified activated carbons on H 2 S removal from simulated biogas at 30 °C. Activated carbons were modified by steam activation, potassium hydroxide (KOH) impregnation and the combination of steam activation and KOH impregnation (S_KOH). Simulated biogas contain 3000 ppmv H 2 S, 40% CO 2 , 2% O 2 and 70% humidity. It was found that modified activated carbons have adsorption capacity significantly higher than commercial activated carbon (in the range of 2-6 times higher depending on modification method). In detail, 1 gram of S_KOH can adsorb 84.75 mg of H 2 S. Furthermore, S_KOH removed H 2 S from 3000 ppmv into 0 ppmv for 100 minutes. It can be concluded that modified activated carbons are highly applicable for H 2 S removal in biogas at room temperature. Therefore, purified biogas is safe for using in household and industry.
The general purpose of the study is to fabricate and improve upon FeS 2 thin films which can be used as the photon absorber layer for a heterojunction or homojunction solar cell. This work deals with the preparation o...

An analytical procedure for the simultaneous determination of eight estrogen-like compounds (nonylphenol (NP), 4-tert-octylphenol(OP), bisphenol A (BPA), diethylstilbestrol (DES), estrone (El), 17β-estradiol (E2), 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and estriol (E3)) in liver of fish by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and ga s chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been developed. Liver tissue samples added with 17β-estradiol-d4 (E2-d4, surrogate standard) are extracted by acetonitrile under ultrasonication and the lipid in the sample extract is eliminated by partitioning between hexane and acetonitrile. After Oasis HLB SPE column clean-up, the sample extract is derivatized with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA). The derivatives of tar get compounds in the samples are determined by GC-MS in the s elected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The linearities range from 0. 005 to 0.8 mgL -1 for all target compounds. The average recoveries are 72.5±12.6% to 110.2±12.2% at 0.5 μg kg -1 , 5 μg kg -1 and 20 μg kg -1 spiked levels of target compounds. And the limits of quantification (LOQ) are 0.15 to 0.8 ngg -1 (R.S.D. 5.6% to 12.8%). The method is simple with good reproducibility and selectivity, an d high sensitivity. The application of this method is further demonstrated by analyzing various real samples from local supermarkets.

In this paper, a kind of solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge was prepared using pyrenebutyric acid-bonded silica (PYB) as sorbent. The concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in surface water were concentrated by these new SPE cartridges (PYB-SPE) and determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Some factors including elution solvent, pH, and cartridge burden were investigated in SPE procedures. The results showed that the recoveries of PCBs detected were 70.42-110.51% under optimized conditions. And the performance of PYB-SPE method was similar with the United States Environmental Protection Agency 608 (USEPA608) method and better than C 18 -SPE method. The recoveries of PCB congeners determined by PYB-SPE method ranged from 73.9-96.5% in real spiked water samples which were identified to be in accordance with USEPA608 method. The developed PYB-SPE method was successfully applied to the determination of PCBs in water samples.
