Continuous Column Study of Chromium (VI) Adsorption

by Ion Exchange Resin

Ajay Kumar Konga, Gomathi Priya Ponnaiah* Department of Chemical Engineering, A. C. College of Technology, Anna University,

Chennai-600025, Tamil Nadu, India

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 determined by evaluating the

breakthrough curves obtained at different flow rates (11–15 ml/min) and different bed length (3–15 cm) for adsorbent. The data confirmed that the total amount of sorbed

chromium (VI) and its equilibrium uptake capacity increased with decreasing flow rate and increasing bed length.

Keywords: Chromium (VI) adsorption, Indion GS300, fixed bed column, response

Review of Green Chemical Technologies for Sustainable

Developments in Chemical Process Industries

Kiran D. Patil* Department of Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering,

Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Paud Road, Kothrud, Pune-411 038, Maharashtra, India

Abstract The environmental and climatic issues facing across the globe are widely recognized as

daunting problems. Therefore, green technologies and ecological sustainable

development is vital as the quality of life is declining. We have had major progress in technology causing depletion of natural life sustaining resources, especially clean air and

water. These problems are causing substantial environmental, economic and social

impairment on a worldwide scale. Sustainable development implies that renewable resources should be used wherever possible and that nonrenewable resources should be

husbanded (e.g., reduced and recycled) to extend their viability for generations to come. The paper reviews the trend towards sustainability and green technologies in the

chemical process industry (CPI). A broad review of state-of-the-art green technologies in

the understanding and application of sustainability with few case studies highlighting the economic benefits of adopting green processes from a chemical engineering viewpoint is

addressed. Green technologies increasingly uses renewable resources; reduce wastes, pollutants, emissions; recover, reuse and recycle; reduce the pressure on natural

resources and restore the balance of the ecosystem and biosphere and ultimately help in

providing "ecologically sustainable development". These technologies are, therefore, feasible, cost-effective, environmentally advanced and most appropriate to the climatic,

economical, geographical, ecological and social conditions of the country. This aim can

only be achieved by developing new environmental friendly, safe and non-toxic materials and their based innovative technologies. Therefore CPI must encourage sustainable

development by investing in green technologies and ensure increased adherence to safety,

health and environmental standards.

Keywords: Green technologies, sustainable development, environmental, CPI,

Abstract This paper discusses the design of Butyl acetate production process by using Aspen

Hysys. Heat integration is performed for the entire designed plant using Aspen Energy

Analyzer. The proposed design consists of a mixer, continuous stirred tank reactor and two distillation columns. Methyl acetate reacts with butyl alcohol and gives the butyl

acetate, methanol. The paper is divided in to three parts. In the first part, the entire process plant developed for steady state simulations. Butyl acetate product purity

obtained is 95.23 mol%. In the second part dynamic simulations are performed with

plantwide control structure developed by providing decentralized controllers for the entire plant. In the third part heat integrations are performed by using Aspen Energy

Analyzer. Hot oil, medium pressure (MP) steam, low pressure (LP) steam and air as hot and cold utilities was proposed to exchange heat with the process streams. The heat

exchange was integrated into an existing heat exchanger network (HEN), and the

integration was analyzed using pinch analysis. After analysis using retrofit studies an alternative HEN is proposed to save the energy. The new retrofit HEN is achieved by

adding a new heat exchanger and the payback period reported is 0.5956 years which is

less than one year.

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 the results of dynamic simulation, the proposed control strategy performs very well in rejecting various disturbances while

maintaining the acrolein product purity with a settling time of less than 4 hours. The

settling times of tops and bottoms of the distillation column, pressure controller is reported as 3.11 hours and 1.32 hours, respectively.

Keywords: dynamic simulation, plant wide operability, temperature control loop

Removal and Recovery of Zn (II) from Electroplating

Rinse Waters Using Cation-Exchange Resins in a

Packed Column

P. Gomathi Priya* Department of Chemical Engineering, A.C. College of Technology, Anna University,

Chennai- 600 025 Tamilnadu, India

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 in static mode adsorption studies and latter was chosen for column

studies. To achieve the ultimate objective of scaling up and designing of adsorption

system at the pilot plant level for recovery of Zn(II) and recycle of water for rinsing an attempt has also been made to model the data generated from column studies using the

empirical relationship based on Bohart–Adams Model approach.
