Ultrasonic cavitation induced degradation of Congo red in aqueous solution was investigated for a variety of operating conditions. It is found that the degradation of Congo red in aqueous solution follows pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics and the degradation rate is dependent on the initial concentration of Congo red, the temperature and pH of the aqueous medium. The effects of Fe 2+ and Fenton reagent addition on the sonochemical degradation of Congo red were also investigated. The results obtained here indicate that the degradation rate of Congo red in aqueous solution was substantially accelerated by Fe 2+ , NaCl or Fenton reagent addition.

Reactive blends of polypropylene and unsaturated polyester with different compositions were prepared by melt processing using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as initiator in a plasticoder. Rheological Characteristics of the blends were studied as a function of unsaturated polyester concentration over a range of strain rate. The possibility of forming a graft polymer increased with increasing the unsaturated polyester content. Change in viscosity behavior of the blends was a result of the competing reactions of degradation and grafting.

Intrinsically conductive polymers have achieved demanding interest in the field of corrosion control coatings owing to their conductive ability and also due to the strict environmental regulations on conventional heavy metals coatings. This multipurpose class of polymers has shown to be effective and proven themselves as a potential alternate for these hazardous heavy metal coatings in order to control the corrosion properties of metals or alloys. The basic purpose of this paper is only to highlight the past decade work relating to the efforts made on protection of metals from corrosion using conductive polymers. The categorization of the coatings is based on the techniques used to apply them. This paper will also discuss the synthesis and prospective applications of these coatings depending on their different formation techniques.

The sol-gel method was used to synthesize nickel-alumina catalysts with various nickel loadings. Chemical and physical properties of support and supported nickel were characterized by TGA, DTA, EDX, SEM, BET, XRD and TPR techniques. Calcination temperature (500°C) was determined by performing thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis on the samples. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) was used to determine the actual content of nickel on alumina. N 2 adsorption test revealed that the specific surface area varied between 550 and 223 m 2 /g for pure alumina and 30%Ni/Al, respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns showed no peaks due to NiO species and NiO species were well dispersed on the support by formation of NiAl 2 O 4 phase. Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) indicated that the nickel species mainly presented in NiAl 2 O 4 phase and small amount of NiO. In the 20 percent nickel loading, the surface NiAl 2 O 4 phase, which is between NiO and bulk NiAl 2 O 4 phases in terms reducibility, was formed considering as a successful result.

The Claus process has been known and used in the industry for over 100 years. It involves thermal oxidation of hydrogen sulfide and its reaction with sulfur dioxide to form sulfur and water vapor. This process is equilibrium-limited and usually achieves efficiencies in the range of 94-97%, which have been regarded as acceptable in the past years. First bed operates at the temperature of 573 K, second and third beds operate at 523K and 473K. Outlet of each bed enters the condenser. Operating temperature of each condenser is about 413K which sulfur condenses in them. In this study catalytic bed process of sulfur recovery unit has been mathematically modeled and by MATLAB software simulated, and then output conditions of compounds has been calculated.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel by sodium nitrite in simulated cooling water (SCW) containing chloride ion was investigated. Electrochemical techniques such as corrosion potential (E corr ) measurement and potentiodynamic sweep experiments were used. The experimental parameters were concentration of the inhibitor, pH of the aqueous media and soaking time. Nitrite inhibited mild steel corrosion in near neutral and alkaline (pH 6 and above) SCW and accelerated corrosion in acidic media (pH 4 and below). Inhibition activity increased with the increase of nitrite concentration up to 500 ppm, and afterwards remained more or less constant at pH 6 and above. In stagnant SCW, maximum corrosion inhibition was observed at pH 8 for all concentration of NaNO 2 . Inhibition action of NaNO 2 was found to increase with the increase of soaking time up to 24 hours, and afterwards it remained more or less constant at all nitrite concentrations at and above pH 6. Based on the experimental results, mechanisms of action of NaNO 2 on mild steel corrosion inhibition in SCW have been proposed.

The geometric parameters of surface aeration systems govern the process phenomena. The dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy (e) and shear rate (γ) are the key process parameters for mixing in surface aerators. Present work by doing numerical computation by visimix® analyzes the effect of geometric parameters (impeller diameter, cross-sectional area of the tank, liquid height, width of the baffle, rotor blade length and immersion height) on e and γ. Analysis has been done by making the geometric parameters non-dimensionalized through rotor diameter. With an increase in liquid height and baffled width, there is an increase in the case of energy dissipation and shear rate values. In the case of tank area and blade length, it is vice versa. Energy dissipation and shear rate are not affected by the variation in immersion height of the impeller.

Paper sector in Bangladesh is currently expanding day-by-day to meet the increasing demand of industrial, writing/printing and specialty papers. Paper mills have adverse eects on the environment by producing huge quantity of wastewater. Yearly, approximately 14 million m 3 wastewater is being discharged to the surface water bodies and irrigated lands without no/limited treatment. Water pollution from pulp and paper mills can be minimized through proper effuent characterization and design of appropriate treatment facilities. In this article dierent techniques of wastewater treatment for paper mills are discussed. Case study based on treatability analysis and jar test for a paper mill producing 200 m 3 /h of effuent is provided. On the basis of the case study a simplified treatment process is proposed. Proper treatment of such mills would not only save our environment but can also be beneficial for the industries by water usage minimization.
