So2 Absorption

One of the most important steps in the wet limestone-gypsum flue gas desulphurization (WFGD) process is CaCO3 dissolution, which provides the dissolved alkalinity necessary for SO2 absorption. Accurately evaluating the CaCO3 dissolution rate is important in the design and efficient operation of WFGD plants. In the present work, the dissolution of limestone from different sources in South Africa has been studied in a pH-stat apparatus under conditions similar to those encountered in wet FGD processes. The influence of various parameters such as the reaction temperature (30 ≤ T ≤ 70°C), CaCO3 particle size (25 ≤ dp ≤ 63μm), solution acidity (4 ≤ pH ≤ 6), and chemical composition were studied in order to determine the kinetics of CaCO3 dissolution. The results obtained indicate that the dissolution rate increased with a decrease in particle size and an increase in temperature. The dissolution curves were evaluated in order to test the shrinking core model for fluid–solid systems. The analysis indicated that the dissolution of CaCO3 was controlled by chemical reaction, i.e. 1 − (1 − X)1/3 = kt.

One of the main steps in the wet flue gas desulphurization (WFGD) process is the dissolution of either magnesite or limestone. Evaluating the magnesite dissolution rate is vital for the design and efficient operation of wet FGD plants. A study on the dissolution of magnesite from different sources in South Africa is presented in this work. The effect of reaction temperature (303.15-343.15K), solid-to-liquid ratio (0.5-2.5g/200 ml), particle size (25-125?m), pH (4-6) and HCl concentration (0.5-2.5 mol/l) on the dissolution rate was studied. It was found out that the dissolution reaction follows a shrinking-core model with the chemical reaction control as the rate-controlling step. The dissolution rate increased with an increase in concentration and reaction temperature and with a decrease in particle size and solid-to-liquid ratio. The activation energy of this dissolution process was found to be 45.685 kJ/mol.

AbstractThe dissolution of malachite particles in ammonium carbamate (AC) solutions was investigated in a batch reactor, using the parameters of temperature, AC concentration, particle size, and stirring speed. The shrinking core model was evaluated for the dissolution rate increased by decreasing particle size and increasing the temperature and AC concentration. No important effect was observed for variations in stirring speed. Dissolution curves were evaluated in order to test shrinking core models for fluid-solid systems. The dissolution rate was determined as being controlled by surface chemical reaction. The activation energy of the leaching process was determined as 46.04 kJ mol

A mixture of phosphoric and sulfuric acid was used to investigate the dissolution kinetics of phosphate ore by Differential Reaction Calorimetry (DRC). The effect of the solid-to-iquid ratio, concentration, stirring speed, particle size and temperature of the reaction is examined. It was established that the dissolution rate increased with stirring speed and particle size. However, rising the olid-to-iquid ratio, temperature and concentration decreased the dissolution rate. It was determined that the dissolution rate fits in the first order of the pseudo-homogeneous reaction model. Two negative values of apparent activation energies were found in the range of 25 to 60?C. The experimental data were tested by graphical and statistical methods and it was found that the following models were best fitted for the experimental data and an empirical equation for the process was developed. -ln (1 ? x) = [2,2 E-09((S/L)0.75C -0.461G0.447(SS) 0.471exp (2671/T)]t.

Currently, there is a large amount of mineral resources not being exploited in large copper minings, a clear example are black copper minerals. These resources are generally not incorpo-rated into the extraction circuits or are not treated, either in stocks, leach pads, or debris. These exotic minerals have considerable amounts of Cu and Mn, which are commercially very attractive. They are refractory to conventional leaching processes, therefore, the use of reducing agents is necessary for treatment of these minerals in order to dissolve the present MnO2, which in turn allows Cu extraction. In this research, iron scrap Fe0 was used as a reducing agent for the dissolution of Mn from a black copper mineral in an acidic medium and compared to previous studies of the use of Fe2+ under the same conditions. In addition, the effects of a pretreatment process (agglomeration and curing) by adding NaCl are investigated in order to favor the reduction of MnO2. Finally, it was discovered that there is a higher kinetics of dissolution of Mn when working with Fe0 in short periods of time, although similar extraction efficiencies are obtained after prolonged times. The pretreatment process by adding NaCl resulted in increased Mn extraction in short periods of time (30 min). At applying high concentrations of the reducing agent, the effect of particle size on the dissolution rate of MnO2 was shown to be insignificant.

The dissolution of paper white mud(PWM) has been studied by pH-stat method in various parameters such as the pH values(4.3, 5.4, 6.0, 7.5), sorbent particle sizes (0-0.097mm, 0.097-0.105mm, 0.105-0.3mm), and the reaction temperature (30°C, 40°C, 50°C) in order to investigate the feasibility of using PWM as wet flue gas desulphurization sorbent. The results show that: the lower the pH value is, the higher the dissolution rate; particle size is the direct function of dissolution rate, the smaller the size is, the higher the dissolution rate, the optimal particle size in this work is 0-0.097mm; and reaction temperature has slightly influence on PWM dissolution. Kinetic analysis of the results show that the PWM dissolution is controlled by fluid film diffusion according to shrinking core model and the activation energy is 11.9±0.7 kJmol-1.

Sodium-rich glasses of the system Na2O-SiO2 are well known to be easily soluble in water. This is not true for silica-rich compositions. We have manufactured quenched glasses with silica contents between 65 and 80 wt.% SiO2 and followed the water interaction at 100°C by measuring mass and sample dimensions in intervals. Comparing the path of edge length, mass and volume to a general shrinking core model for cuboids we conclude that only compositions between 65 and 70 wt% SiO2 can be described well by a simple dissolution process. The logarithm of the dissolution rate constant varies linearly with the SiO2 content. At higher silica contents the mechanism changes towards leaching of sodium. We propose changing glass structures to be responsible for the change in mechanism.

Poor water solubility and slow dissolution rate are issues for the majority of upcoming and existing biologically active compounds. Simvastatin is poorly water-soluble drug and its bioavailability is very low from its crystalline form. The purpose of this study wasto increase the solubility and dissolution rate of simvastatin by the  preparation of nanosuspension by emulsification solvent diffusion method at laboratory scale. Prepared nanosus-pension was evaluated for its particle size and in vitro dissolution study and characterized by zeta potential,differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray diffractometry (XRD), motic digital microscopy, entrapment efficiency, total drug content, saturated solubility study and in vivo study. A 23 factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables, amount of SLS (X1), amount of PVPK-30 (X2) and poloxamer-188 (X3) and dependent variables are total drug content and polydispersity Index. The obtained results showed that particle size (nm) and rate of dissolution has been improved when nanosuspension prepared with the higherconcentration of PVPK-30 with the higher concentration of PVP K-30 and Poloxamer-188 and lower concentration of SLS. The particle size and zeta potential of optimized formulation was found to be 258.3 nm and 23.43. The rate of dissolution of the optimized nanosuspension was enhanced (90% in 60min), relative to plain simvastatin  (21% in 60 min), mainly due to the formation of nanosized particles. These results indicate the suitability of 23 factorial  design for preparation of simvastatin loaded nano-suspension significantly improved in vitro dissolution rate and thus possibly enhance fast onset of therapeutic drug effect. In vivo study shows increase in bioavailability in nanosuspension formulation than the plain simvastatin drug.

Aim: EPAS (evaporative precipitation into aqueous solution) was used in the current studies to prepare azithromycin nanosuspensions and investigate the physicochemical characteristics for the nanosuspension batches with the aim of enhancing the dissolution rate of the nanopreparation to improve bioavailability. Methods: EPAS method used in this study for preparing azithromycin nanosuspension was achieved through developing an in-house instrumentation method. Particle size distribution was measured using Zetasizer Nano S without sample dilution. Dissolved azithromycin nanosuspensions were also compared with raw azithromycin powder and commercially available products. Total drug content of nanosuspension batches were measured using an Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) system with Photodiode Array (PDA) detector while residual solvent was measured using gas chromatography (GC). Results: The average particle size of azithromycin nanosuspension was 447.2 nm and total drug content was measured to be 97.81% upon recovery. Dissolution study data showed significant increase in dissolution rate for nanosuspension batch when compared to raw azithromycin and commercial version (microsuspension). The residual solvent found for azithromycin nanosuspension is 0.000098023 mg/ mL or 98.023 ppb. Conclusion: EPAS was successfully used to prepare azithromycin nanoparticles that exhibited significantly enhanced dissolution rate. Further studies are required to scale up the process and determine long term stability of the nanoparticles.
