A Study of Semifluidized Bed Adsorbers for Water and Wastewater Treatment

研究是在一个创新的修改过程中进行， 从水中去除污染物质， 废水 固定床中的颗粒活性炭已被证明是 以有效去除有机物质。 先前的修改 这一概念包括脉动碳床和悬浮 反应器中的颗粒材料。 在此修改中， 研究人员计划研究碳的比较性能， 在固定床和半流化物理状态下。 他们计划 建立一个可用于工程设计的数学模型 基于理论的考虑，并比较预测的 该过程的性能与实验室中观察到的性能一致。

Research is performed on an innovative modification of a process for removing substances of pollutional significance from water and wastewater. Granulated activated carbon in fixed beds has been shown to be effective in removing organic substances. Prior modifications of this concept have included pulsing the beds of carbon and suspending the granulated material in reactors. In this modification, the investigators plan to investigate the comparative performance of carbon in fixed beds and in a semi-fluidized physical state. They plan to develop a mathematical model that can be utilized in engineering design based on theoretical considerations, and compare the predicted performance of the process to that observed in the laboratory.
