Mass Transfer Of Pryene Between A Solid Phase And Oil/Water Suspensions, Sachin Ashok Purekar
Mass Transfer Of Pryene Between A Solid Phase And Oil/Water Suspensions, Sachin Ashok Purekar
Theses
This study dealt with understanding the partitioning of pyrene between water and mineral oil, and the mass transfer of pyrene from solid particles to oil/water suspensions.
It was found that when pyrene is dissolved in mineral oil, the amount transferred to water is negligible even after 10 days of phase contact.
Glass beads and sand were used as model solid phases to simulate soil and PAH (pyrene)-contaminated industrial sludges.
The transfer of pyrene from glass beads to mineral oil when no water phase is present was quantified. Mass transfer coefficients, and their dependence on the rate of environment shaking were …
