Enhancement of Hydrogen and Methanol Production using a Double Fluidized-bed Two Membranes Reactor

Mahdi Bayat; M.R. Rahimpour

Volume 13, Issue 3 , July 2016, Pages 3-18

Abstract
  Nowadays, hydrogen and methanol are attractive prospects because of lower emission compared to the other energy sources and their special application in fuel cell technology, which are now widely regarded as key energy solution for the 21st century. These two chemicals also can be utilized in transportation, ...  Read More

Optimization of Candida rugosa lipase immobilization parameters on magnetic silica aerogel using adsorption method

Jafarsadegh Moghaddas; Leila Amirkhani; Hoda Jafarizadeh- Malmiri

Volume 13, Issue 3 , July 2016, Pages 19-31

Abstract
  Magnetic silica aerogel in hydrophobic and hydrophilic forms were used as support to immobilize Candida rugosa lipase by adsorption method. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the effects of the three most important immobilization parameters, namely enzyme/support ratio (0.3-0.5, ...  Read More

Mixing of the Immiscible Liquids in the Entrance Region of a T-Type Chamber Using Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) Method

Salman Movahedirad; Ali Akbar Sarbanha; Fahimeh Sobhanian

Volume 13, Issue 3 , July 2016, Pages 32-42

Abstract
  A Laser Induced Fluorescence technique (LIF) has been used to study the mixing behavior of two emerging streams in a T-Type mixing chamber. A mixing index on the basis of digital image light intensities is calculated. It has been shown that averaging over more than 800 images leads to a stable mixing ...  Read More

Ultrasonic Assisted Synthesis and Characterization of xCuO/CeO2–γAl2O3 Nanoatalysts

Esmaeil Fatehifar; Asadollah Karimi; Reza Alizadeh; abbas jafarizad; mahmood jamili

Volume 13, Issue 3 , July 2016, Pages 43-53

Abstract
  In this paper, xCuO/CeO2–γAl2O3 nano-catalysts were successfully synthesized by precipitation from an aqueous solution which modified via ultrasonic waves. For characterization of xCuO/CeO2–γAl2O3 samples N2 adsorption results showed that the BET surface area of the CuO/CeO2–γAl2O3, ...  Read More
