Of the advanced materials, the metal organic framework, MIL-101 has an acceptable value of 985 L g^-1. Likewise, judgement based on a figure of merit basis (e.g., regeneration, reusability, breakthrough volume, and cost) confirms the apparent superiority of activated carbon for the removal of aromatic hydrocarbons like toluene over all sorbent materials evaluated on parallel basis.]]> Tue 15 Sep 2020 12:16:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43843 Tue 04 Oct 2022 11:46:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17541 2). In this study, we calculate energy profiles for the sequence: reactant + HO₂ → [complex of reactants] → transition state → [complex of products] → product + H₂O₂ for methanol, ethenol (i.e., C₂H₃OH), acetaldehyde, toluene, and phenol. Rate constants are provided in the simple Arrhenius form. Reasonable agreement was obtained with the limited literature data available for acetaldehyde and toluene. Addition of HO₂ to the various distinct sites in phenol is investigated. Direct abstraction of the hydroxyl H was found to dominate over HO₂ addition to the ring. The results presented herein should be useful in modeling the lower temperature oxidation of the five compounds considered, especially at low temperature where the HO₂ is expected to exist at reactive levels.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26475 -1), to simultaneously determinate multiple petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) in real mixture samples. This system includes: an object oriented baseline correction; Band decomposition (curve fitting) method with mathematical optimization; and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for determination, which is suitable for the characteristics of this IR regions, where the spectra are normally with low signal to noise ratio and high density of peaks. BTEX components are potentially lethal carcinogens and contained in many petroleum products. As a case study, six BTEX components were determinate automatically and simultaneously in mixture vapor samples. The robustness of the BTEX determination was validated using real petroleum samples, and the prediction results were compared with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:14 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35378 adj) and the F-test. The results revealed that the R² proportion was greater than 0.96 for BTEX removal efficiency. The statistical analysis demonstrated that the BTEX removal efficiency was significantly correlated with the temperature, BTEX concentration, voltage, and flow rate. Voltage was the most influential variable affecting the dependent variable as it exerted a significant effect (p < 0.0001) on the response variable. According to the achieved results, NTP can be applied as a progressive, cost-effective, and practical process for treatment of airstreams polluted with BTEX in conditions of low residence time and high concentrations of pollutants.]]> Mon 22 Jul 2019 13:12:18 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27736 Fri 26 May 2017 11:27:53 AEST ]]>
