Selective feeding

A hypothetical moving-bed system and a Hquid-phase composition profile are shown in Figure 7. The adsorbent circulates continuously as a dense bed in a closed cycle and moves up the adsorbent chamber from bottom to top. Liquid streams flow down through the bed countercurrently to the soHd. The feed is assumed to be a binary mixture of A and B, with component A being adsorbed selectively. Feed is introduced to the bed as shown.

To design or optimize an ED process several parameters are to be taken into account, namely stack construction and spacer configuration, operation mode, membrane perm-selectivity, feed and product concentration, flow velocities, current density and voltage applied to the electrodes, recovery... 

Chemical manufacturing companies produce materials based on chemical reactions between selected feed stocks. In many cases the completion of the chemical reactions is limited by the equilibrium between feed and product. The process must then include the separation of this equilibrium mixture and recycling of the reactants. The fundamental process steps of bringing material together, causing them to react, and then separating products from reactants are common to many processes. 

C There are also some reports on apparently increased abundances of mesozooplankton during periods of blooms of Phaeocystis (Fransz and Gieskes 1984 Fransz et al. 1992 Weisse et al. 1986) D But in a later bloom stage the copeods switch to selectively feed upon the senescent P. pouchetii, rather than the diatoms (Estep et al. 1990) Table 3 Quantitative laboratory studies on protozooplankton grazing on Phaeocystis ...

Batch controllers for each flowmeter are mounted in the main control panel. The emulsion preparation cycle begins when the operator enters the desired quantities of each oil type into the batch controller for the oil flowmeter. The operator selects the proper outlet valve of one of the oil storage tanks, selects the proper feed pump, and activates the batch controller. The selected outlet valve will then open automatically and the selected feed pump will start automatically. The preselected oil quantity is metered into the emulsion preparation tank. When the desired quantity has been metered, the batch controller automatically activates the closing valve downstream of the flowmeter, stops the pump, and closes the outlet valve. The operator now selects the outlet valve and feed pump for the second oil type through a switch system, reactivates the batch controller, and the described sequence is repeated. 

Thin films based on cellulose esters treated with an organic solvent were used for separation of isomeric xylenes, however, low values of factor jSp were achieved [130]. Modifications of hydrophyhc membranes were used for separation of Cg-aromatic isomers. Separation factor for p- to m-xylene was 1.69 [131]. Commercial polyvinyl alcohol membrane in the presence of CBf4 as a selective feed complexing agent was used to separate p- to m-xylene [133]. Dense homogenous polyethylene membranes were used for separation of aromatic Cg-isomers [132]. The rate of mass transport across the membrane increased...

Bacteria have been developed which selectively feed upon and degrade specific materials (see section 22.7). The best known are those seeded to clean up oil spills. Research is continuing to develop bacteria strains to consume other products. If the contaminant is susceptible to such bacteria, they can be injected into the polluted zone, generally in an aqueous medium. If the contaminant can be neutralized by other chemicals, these can also be pumped into the polluted zone. The degradation process can be monitored over time by periodic sampling and testing.
