M.Tech Project:
Title:- Solubility of CO2 into Aqueous Solution of Sterically Hindered Amines.
The solubility of CO2 in aqueous solutions, 5 wt%, 10wt%, 20wt%, 30wt% of 2amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1, 3 propanediol (AHPD) has been measured over a
temperature range of (293 to 353) K and partial pressure range of (0.1 to 6) bar.
The solubility of CO2 in aqueous AHPD solutions has been correlated with a simplified
Clegg-Pitzer equation. The model predicted partial pressures of CO 2 over aqueous
AHPD solutions have been found to be in good agreement with the experimental
results of this study.
Place of Work: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati.
B.Tech Project:
Title:- Sorptive Removal of Aqueous Phase Fluoride Using Fungal Pleurotus
Ostreatus 1804 sp Biosorbent: Kinetics Evaluation.
The adsorptive studies carried out on fluoride removal onto fungal biosorbent. Batch
sorption studies were performed and the results revealed that biosorbent
demonstrated ability to adsorb the fluoride. Influence of varying the conditions for
removal of fluoride, such as the fluoride concentration, the pH of aqueous solution,
the dosage of adsorbent, the temperature on removal of fluoride, and the
adsorption-desorption studies were investigated. Experimental data showed good fit
with the Langmuirs adsorption isotherm model. Fluoride sorption was found to be
dependent on the aqueous phase pH and the uptake was observed to be greater at
lower pH. Maximum fluoride sorption was observed at operating 30 oC operating
temperature.
Place of Work: Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad.
