Precipitator types tubular

ESPs for liquid droplets and mists are essenhally of the wetted wall type. Figure 29-9 shows a wet wall precipitator with tubular collechon electrodes (1). The upper ends of the tubes form weirs, and water flows over the tube ends to irrigate the collechon surface. 

Experiments were performed to determine the optimum pH for the extraction of proteins from the industrially defatted canola meal (Federated Co-op Ltd., Saskatoon, SK) and sunflower meal (Cargill Inc., West Fargo, ND), and the minimum solubility pH (isoelectric pH) for precipitation. Details of the experimental methods can be found in (7) and (13) respectively. The extracted protein solutions were then used to recover proteins by precipitation. Four different types of precipitants aqueous HCl, HMP, CMC, and ammonium sulphate, were used for studies on the yields of canola protein. Further studies on isoelectric precipitation (using aqueous HCl as a precipitant) were carried out in three types of precipitators (Batch, MSMPR, and tubular) to study kinetic parameters and effects of precipitator type and operating conditions on PSD. The first two types of precipitators were used for canola protein and all three types were used for sunflower protein. Details of these experimental setups can be found in (7) for canola protein and (13,11) for sunflower protein. 

A plate-type ESP is similar in principle to the tubular type except that the air flows across the wires horizontally, at right angles to them. The particles are collected on vertical plates, which usually have fins or baffles to strengthen them and prevent dust reentrainment. Figure 29-5 illustrates a large plate-type precipitator. These precipitators are usually used to control and collect dry dusts. 

Unwanted effects of sulfonamide-type diuretics (a) hypokalemia is a consequence of excessive 1C loss in the terminal segments of the distal tubules where increased amounts of Na are available for exchange with 1C (b) hyperglycemia and glycosuria (c) hyper-uricemia-increase in serum urate levels may precipitate gout in predisposed patients. Sulfonamide diuretics compete with urate for the tubular organic anion secretory system. 

In those cases where the particles are small and/or the viscosity of the fluid is high, filtration is not very effective. In such cases, centrifugation is the most common and effective method for separating microorganisms, cells, and precipitates from the fermentation broth. Two major types of centrifuge - the tubular-bowl and the disk-stack - are used for continuous, large-scale operation.

Salt nucleation and growth studies have also been performed to better understand kinetics and mechanisms associated with these phenomena. Most of these types of studies involve sudden contact of a dissolved salt stream with another fluid or solid body whose temperature is sufficient to cause precipitation of the salt. This approach allows one to observe the morphology of salt particles as they form and grow. The particle morphology can have a signilicanl impact on the particular macroscopic transport characteristics exhibited by the salt as it moves or accumulates within a SCWO reactor. Notable salt nucleation and growth studies in supercritical water have been performed within an optically accessible cell, within a heated tubular reactor, and on a heated solid cylinder. ... 

Tubular Precipitator. This type of continuous operation may be employed to reduce polydispersity of precipitates (Raphael et al. 1997 Raphael and Rohani 1999). The tubular precipitator may operate either under the turbulent flow or laminar flow regime. The reactants are added into the inlet section equipped with static mixers and may also enter as a multi-port feed along the length of the tubular precipitator. If the reactant feeding streams are too concentrated or if too excessive formation of precipitate occurs in the inlet section of the precipitator, a third stream of solvent is also fed to dilute the flowing suspension. The latter may contain a protective colloid or surfactant that prevent agglomeration of precipitate. 

Four main types of porous silica adsorbents have been identified compacts of pyrogenic powders, precipitated silicas, silica gels, and zeolitic silicas. The importance of porosity relative to the adsorptive properties of each group is reviewed, with particular reference to the adsorption of nitrogen, argon, and water vapor. The differences in size and specificity of these adsorptive molecules may be exploited to explore the surface properties of each grade of silica. A notable feature cf Silicalite I, which is the best known of the zeolitic silicas, is its remarkable hydrophobic character. Furthermore, the uniform tubular pore structure of this microporous silica is responsible for other highly distinctive properties. 

Defatted oil seed meals are known to contain large amounts of nutritional proteins which can be recovered for use in food and pharmaceutical industries. Protein recovery from solution is often achieved through precipitation followed by solids-liquid separation. For efficient recovery, it is imperative to maximize the solids yield and the mean particle size, and minimize the spread of particle size distribution (PSD). In this research program, recovery of canola and sunflower protein precipitates has been investigated. Three different types of precipitators (batch, MSMPR, and tubular) and four different precipitants (HCl, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), sodium... 

Types of Precipitators. Studies on precipitation of oilseeds proteins have been reported by several workers using various types of precipitators. Batch precipitators have been used by many (2-7). Others (S-11) used mixed suspension mixed product removal (MSMPR) precipitators. Tubular precipitators have also been used (2,12,13). 

Figures 6 and 7 present the solids yield for canola and sunflower proteins during isoelectric precipitations, respectively. Sunflower protein yields from the flow-type precipitators increased with increases in mean residence times. This means that slower processes of particle growth by aggregation and diffusion follow an initial rapid nucleation process. About two minutes are required before the final yield is reached according to the results obtained from the tubular precipitator operating in the laminar flow regime and the batch precipitator. For canola proteins, mns in an MSMPR precipitator showed little changes in the yield with the mean residence time. This is because the mean residence times were longer (between 1.5 and 7.5 min) allowing the reaction to go to completion.

The planning woik for the entire unit has been completed The piping, including the heating section, has been mounted reatfy for the trials with the tubular fabric filter and the plate-type precipitator. Woric has still to be done on the measurement and control technique and the electric equipment including the high voltage supply. 

The first trials with the tubular fabric filter and plate-type precipitator are scheduled to take place in August/September and trials with the scrabber in November.
