AB  - The discharge of industrial textile waters into water bodies leads to the accumulation of pollutants which are a serious threat to humans and the environment. The development of an efficient adsorbent for the removal of toxic organic dyes from water is of crucial importance. For that reason, this work aimed to elaborate on the potential application of a biosorbent obtained from waste Humulus lupulus stems (Hlup-BA) for the elimination of malachite green, methylene blue, and crystal violet from aqueous solution in batch and fixed-bed column systems. The Hlup-BA was characterized using chemical composition analysis, by determination of particle size distribution, the point of zero charge (pHpzc), SEM, BET, EDS, XRD, and FTIR. Comprehensive analysis of Hlup-BA adsorption efficiency in a batch study showed that at the optimal conditions (e.g. contact time, 120 min; biosorbent dose, 2 g/L; dye concentration, 100 g/L; pH, 8 and temperature, 298 K), even 98.4 %, 98.8 %, and 98.5 % of MG, MB, and CV were removed, respectively. The results showed that the biosorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The equilibrium data were modeled using Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, and Dubinnin-Radushkevich biosorption isotherms. High values of Hlup-BA biosorption capacities obtained from Langmuir isotherm were 398.9 mg g−1, 209.8 mg g−1, and 133.2 mg g−1 for MG, MB, and CV, thus proving Hlup-BA as an excellent biosorbent for removal of the tested dyes. The thermodynamic study indicated that the biosorption of these three dyes on Hlup-BA from aqueous solution is an endothermic, spontaneous, and thermodynamically stable process. The proposed mechanism of the biosorption process covers π-π interactions, electrostatic interactions, and hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, the data obtained by modeling in the fixed-bed column were also successfully correlated with the Thomas, Bohart-Adams, and Yoon–Nelson models. The very good fit of the results obtained in this way will greatly contribute to optimizing the pilot-scale operations for future wastewater treatment. Consequently, Hlup-BA can be an effective, cheap, and environmentally friendly biosorbent to eliminate methylene blue, malachite green, and crystal violet dyes from the aqueous solution in batch and column systems.

AB  - In this work, the coefficient of fluid-wall mass transfer in an inverse fluidized bed was determined using the adsorption method. The experiments were carried out in a column with a diameter of 45 mm with spherical and non-spherical particles of polypropylene and polyethylene with a diameter of 3.3-4.9 mm and a density of about 930 kg m-3. A diluted solution of methylene blue was used as a fluidization medium, which was adsorbed on part of the surface of the column on silica gel. The obtained results showed that the presence of particles during inverse fluidization does not contribute significantly to mass transfer compared to the influence of particles on transfer in conventional fluidized beds. Therefore, the pseudofluid concept was introduced into the analysis and an empirical correlation was performed to determine the mass transfer coefficient. The obtained results were compared with literature correlations for inverse and conventional fluidized beds.

AB  - To define the fluid-dynamic properties of inverse fluidized beds, studies of the minimum fluidization velocity and bed expansion were performed in this work. The experiments were performed in
an inverse fluidized bed of polypropylene and polystyrene particles in a cylindrical column using
water and an aqueous glycerol solution of different concentrations as fluidizing medium. The
dependence of the bed porosity on the superficial velocity of the fluid was determined experimentally for all the particles studied and different fluidizing media. The influence of fluidizing
medium viscosity and particle density on the expansion of the inverse fluidized bed and on the
minimum fluidization velocity was investigated. Comparison of the experimental data for the
expansion of the inverse fluidized bed and the values calculated by the Richardson-Zaki
correlation for the conventional fluidized bed showed some deviation, but the experimentally
determined data were found to follow the shape of the Richardson-Zaki curve. In this paper, a
correlation for the expansion of inverse fluidized beds is proposed

AB  - The present work concerns an experimental study on heat transfer in gas-solid fluidized bed of coarse (Geldart D) particles to a larger immersed sphere at high superficial velocities from 2 to 5.5 Umf. The heat transfer coefficient was determined by measuring the temperature of the test sphere during its heating in a fluidized bed in the temperature range of 65–175 °C. The test spheres of different sizes and different materials were utilized. For the given gas-particles system the flow regime changes from rapidly growing bubbles to turbulent fluidization at superficial velocity Uc ≈ 3Umf. It has been found that in rapidly growing bubbles regime, the heat transfer coefficient is higher for smaller test spheres while it is almost independent of the superficial gas velocity. In turbulent regime, the heat transfer coefficient increases with increase of gas velocity while the size of the test sphere exhibits less influence. In the rapidly growing bubbles regime, experimental data for heat transfer coefficient can be predicted adequately with correlation of Scott et al.. For the turbulent flow regime a new correlation for prediction of the heat transfer coefficient has been proposed.

AB  - In this work the theoretical model for heat transfer from a wall to aliquid-solid fluidized bed by liquid convective mechanism has been proposed.The model is based on thickness of boundary layer and film theory. The keyparameter in the model is the distance between two adjacent particles whichcollide with the wall. According to the proposed model, the liquid convectiveheat transfer in a fluidized bed is 4 to 5 times more intense than in a single-phaseflow. Additionally, the wall-to-bed heat transfer coefficient has been measuredexperimentally in water –glass particles fluidized bed, for different particle sizes.Comparison of the model prediction with experimental data has shown that sizeof the particles strongly influences the mechanism of heat transfer. For fineparticles of 0.8 mm in diameter, the liquid convective heat transfer modelrepresents adequately the experimental data, indicating that particle convectivemechanism is negligible. For coarse particles of 1.5 - 2 mm in diameter, theliquid convective heat transfer mechanism accounts for 60 % of the overall heattransfer coefficient

AB  - The movement of particles in the fluidized bed primarily determines the mixing in the bed and determines the transfer intensities that occur between the particles and the fluid. Experimental monitoring of the velocity of the marked particle was performed in an inversely fluidized bed of polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene particles. The velocity of the marked particle was monitored in a two-dimensional column, where water and an aqueous solution of glycerin were used as the fluidization medium. Using the Tracker Video Analysis program (Tracker Video Analysis, Open Source Physics, 2003), the mean velocity of the marked particle was determined, as well as the distance crossed by the marked particle in the x and y directions. The influence of fluidization medium viscosity and particle density on the velocity of the marked particle was investigated. The results of experimental investigations have shown that the particle velocity distribution approximately follows the Maxwell distribution. Comparison of the measured values of the mean velocity in the inversely and conventionally fluidized bed showed a certain deviation. In this paper, a correlation for determining the mean particle velocity in an inversely fluidized bed is proposed.

AB  - Fluidization experiments were performed by using spherical and non-spherical particles to examine the sensitivity of the variational model to three input parameters: Umf, εmf and Ut. Several correlations for Umf, εmf and Ut were tested and the results were compared with the experimental values. The variational model’s ability to predict the bed expansion (in the form of U=f(ε)) and the interphase drag coefficient was investigated by varying the three input variables by ±20% compared with their experimental values. The variational model for the bed expansion showed the greatest sensitivity to changes in the εmf values. The overestimated values of εmf resulted in underestimating U(ε), and likewise, the underestimated values of εmf resulted in overestimating U(ε). The variational model’s sensitivity to changes in the Umf values is also important. Contrary to εmf, overestimating the values of Umf resulted in overestimating U(ε). The model’s least sensitivity was to the Ut value variation, which, if varied by ±20% compared with their experimental values, had a negligible effect on the prediction quality. This study aims to examine the sensitivity of the variational model to Umf, Ut and εmf values obtained from various correlations, in the absence of experimental values.

AB  - In this study, we applied the variational model to fluidization of small spherical particles. Fluidizationexperiments were carried out for spherical particles with 13 diameters between dp= 0.13 and 5.00 mm.We propose a generalized form of our variational model to predict the superficial velocity U and inter-phase drag coefficient ˇ by introducing an exponent n to describe the different dependences of the dragforce Fdon fluid velocity for different particle sizes (different flow regimes). By comparing the predictionswith the experimental results, we conclude that n=1 should be used for small particles (dp< 1 mm) andn = 2 for larger particles (dp> 1 mm). This conclusion is generalized by proposing n = 1 for particles withRet< 160 and n = 2 for particles with Ret> 160. The average mean absolute error was 5.49% in calculatingsuperficial velocity for different bed voidages using the modified variational model for all of the particlesexamined.

AB  - In this paper, experimental investigation of the dynamics of the process of fluidized bed granulation was performed, in order to find optimal process conditions and binder concentration to achieve the desired granules development. The experiments were performed in batch system using corn flour as starting material. Ten experiments were performed in which sucrose solution of different concentrations (20, 30, 35 and 40 %) was used as binder. The temperature of the system was kept constant during the granulation process and amounted to 40-50°C. Samples were taken from the fluidized bed at time intervals of 3 min. The dynamics of granulation was examined by determining three different factors (bulk density, moisure content and particle size distribution) for each of the samples. It has been found that bulk density continuously decreases during the granulation process, while in the drying phase it remains constant. Particle size distribution has shown that the average diameter of the projected surface increases uniformly during the process. By comparing all of the three investigated factors, it was shown that the best quality of granules is achieved using 35 % sucrose solution .

Temperatura je održavana konstantnom tokom procesa granulacije i iznosila je 40-50C. Uzorci su iz sloja uzimani u jednakim vremenskim intervalima od 3 min. Dinamika granulacije ispitivana je određivanjem tri različita faktora (nasipne gustina, vlažnosti i raspodele veličine čestica) za svaki od uzoraka. Utvrđeno je da nasipna gustina kontinualno opada tokom izvođenja procesa granulacije, dok u fazi sušenja ostaje konstantna. Raspodela veličina čestica je pokazala da srednji prečnik projektovane površine ravnomerno raste tokom procesa. Poređenjem sva tri ispitivana faktora pokazano je da se najbolji kvalitet granula postiže korišćenjem 35 % rastvora saharoze kao vezivnog sredstva.

The dynamics of granulation was examined by determining three different factors (bulk density, moisure content and particle size distribution) for each of the samples. It has been found that bulk density continuously decreases during the granulation process, while in the drying phase it remains constant. Particle size distribution has shown that the average diameter of the projected surface increases uniformly during the process. By comparing all of the three investigated factors, it was shown that the best quality of granules is achieved using 35 % sucrose solution .

Temperatura je održavana konstantnom tokom procesa granulacije i iznosila je 40-50C. Uzorci su iz sloja uzimani u jednakim vremenskim intervalima od 3 min.

AB  - In this paper, an innovative fluidized bed dryer with inert particles is presented. The system can be used for drying of solutions, suspensions and pastes in order to obtain a powdered product. The experiments were performed in a pilot-scale dryer with a cylindrical column 0.215 m in diameter and 1.2 mm height, with glass spheres as inert particles. The material used for drying was CuSO4 solution. The effects of operating conditions on the dryer throughput and product quality were investigated. Main performance criteria, i.e. specific water evaporation rate, specific heat consumption and specific air consumption, were quantified. Nearly isothermal conditions were found due to thorough mixing of the particles. The energy efficiency of the dryer was also assessed. Simple heat and mass balances predicted the dryer performance quite well.

AB  - In this paper, the influence of different scanning resolutions and the use of image analysis softwares for the image analysis, SigmaScan Pro, Image) and Matlab, on size and shape factors commonly used in particles characterization were investigated. In our previous paper [1] the characterization of polydisperse sand particles was performed, and the need had arisen to examine the impact of different scanning resolutions on shape factors in more detail. The particles analyzed were the polydisperse fractions of quartz filtration sand with sieve diameters in the intervals of 0.85-1.030 mm, 1.406-1.600 mm and 2.00-2.83 mm. The particles size and shape were analyzed using the scanned image of about 150 particles in each fraction. In addition, the images of circles of similar dimensions were generated to serve as reference particles. The scanning resolutions used in this study were from 75 to 4800 dpi, and grayscale thresholds were optimized for discrimination of the particles from the background. The obtained results indicate that the resolution (i.e. the pixel size) and the algorithms used in image analysis softwares have significant influence on the obtained shape factors. The most significant effect was observed in the calculated values of the particles perimeters, while the effect was less pronounced in the results obtained for the particles projected area. The analysis of images of generated circles confirmed that the resolution had the largest effect on particle perimeter. The use of the resolutions of 300-600 dpi for the determination of particle shape and size can be recommended for particles of similar to 1 mm and larger, because of reasonable results, low storage space and less time for image analysis.

AB  - In this paper, the minimum fluidization velocity and bed expansion of polydisperse sand mixtures fluidized with water were investigated. The fluidization experiments were carried out using 19 different fractions of quartz filtration sand with sieve diameters in the interval d(m) = 0.359 to 2.596 mm. The intercept fluid velocity U-E was determined from the plot of fluid superficial velocity vs. porosity. The results obtained indicated that U-E was about 11% higher than particle terminal velocity U-t, for all of the sand fractions investigated. Based on the experimental data, the new model for bed expansion of quartz filtration sand was proposed. Using the proposed model, the mean absolute deviation in predicting the bed porosity epsilon, for a given superficial velocity U, was 2.66%, while the mean absolute deviation in predicting U at a given epsilon was 8.75%. For the prediction of the minimum fluidization velocity, U-mf, several literature models were tested. The best results were obtained using the Ergun model, with mean absolute deviation in predicting U-mf of 12.42%. A new simple correlation for the prediction of the minimum fluidization velocity U-mf was proposed. The proposed correlation is the function only of the mean sieve diameter of the filtration sand fraction. The mean absolute deviation between the experimental and the predicted values of U-mf was 7.65%.

abstract = "In this paper, the minimum fluidization velocity and bed expansion of polydisperse sand mixtures fluidized with water were investigated. The fluidization experiments were carried out using 19 different fractions of quartz filtration sand with sieve diameters in the interval d(m) = 0.359 to 2.596 mm. The intercept fluid velocity U-E was determined from the plot of fluid superficial velocity vs. porosity. The results obtained indicated that U-E was about 11% higher than particle terminal velocity U-t, for all of the sand fractions investigated. Based on the experimental data, the new model for bed expansion of quartz filtration sand was proposed. Using the proposed model, the mean absolute deviation in predicting the bed porosity epsilon, for a given superficial velocity U, was 2.66%, while the mean absolute deviation in predicting U at a given epsilon was 8.75%. For the prediction of the minimum fluidization velocity, U-mf, several literature models were tested.

AB  - A three-phase (gas-liquid-solid) fluidized bed was used to study the heat transfer characteristics of a system consisting of low-density (290 kg/m(3)) spherical particles (2 cm diameter) in a 0.25 m cylindrical column with counter-current flow of water and air. The experimental investigation and mathematical modeling of heat transfer between the hot air and the cooling water was carried out. The experiments were conducted for a variety of different fluid flow rates and inlet air temperatures, while the air flow rate was kept constant. Based on the obtained experimental results, a new correlation for heat transfer in a three-phase fluidized system was proposed. The mean percentage error between the experimental and the correlated values of the j(Hp) obtained was 1.69%. The hydrodynamic parameters of the system were also calculated according to the available literature correlations.

AB  - The aim of this work was the experimental investigation of the particle friction factor for air flow through a packed bed of particles at ambient and elevated temperatures. The experiments were performed by measuring the pressure drop across the packed bed, heated to the desired temperature by hot air. Glass spherical particles of seven different diameters were used. The temperature range of the air flowing through the packed bed was from 20 to 350°C and the bed voidages were from 0.3574 to 0.4303. The obtained results were correlated using a number of available literature correlations. The overall best fit of all of the experimental data was obtained using the Ergun equation, with mean absolute deviation of 10.90%. Ergun's equation gave somewhat better results in correlating the data at ambient temperature with mean absolute deviation of 9.77%, while correlation of the data at elevated temperatures gave mean absolute deviation of 12.38%. The vast majority of the correlations used gave better results when applied to ambient temperature data than to the data at elevated temperatures. Based on the results obtained, the Ergun equation is proposed for friction factor calculation both at ambient and at elevated temperatures.

AB  - The equations for the overall particle circulation rate and the frequency of particle-particle collisions in the quasi two-dimenional water-fluidized bed were proposed. The equations were based on the experimental results obtained from the water fluidized beds of mono-sized spherical glass particles d(p) = 1.94, 2.98,4.00 and 6.00 mm in diameter and the correlation for the mean particle speed from our previous paper [14] The optimal porosity of the fluidized bed was defined as the porosity at which the overall circulation rate or the frequency of collisions shows their maximum. The optimal porosities were calcylated from the derivatives of the proposed correlations. The calculated optimal porosity was in the range 0.68-0.72 for the overall circulation rate, and 0.59-0.64 for the frequency of particle-particle collisions. The results obtained are in accordance with the experimental findings from the literature [2,3,23] which show that the maximum values of the heat and mass transport coefficients in the liquid fluidized beds are reached in the range of porosities between 0.6 and 0.8. By visual observations of the monolayer fluidized bed of spherical particles 10 mm in diameter we concluded that the collisions in the liquid fluidized beds in most cases are not pairwise, but that the particles which collide often move together for some time in agglomerates before separating. The majority of collisions in fluidized beds differ very much from the instantaneous collisions as regarded in the kinetic theory of gases. Therefore, the overall circulation rate is a better measure of the dynamics of the fluidized bed and the intensity of transport properties than the frequency of collisions.

AB  - The one-dimensional model of accelerating turbulent downward co-current gas-solid flow of coarse particles was formulated and experimentally verified by measuring the pressure distribution along the transport tube. The continuity and momentum equations were used in the model formulation and variational model was used for the prediction of the fluid-particle interphase drag coefficient. The experiments were performed by transporting spherical glass particles 1.94 mm in diameter in a 16 mm i.d. acrylic tube at constant solid mass flux of 392.8 kg/m(2) s. Tube Reynolds number ranged from 880 to 11,300 and the slip Reynolds number from 32 to 670. At these conditions, the loading ratio G(p)/G(f) was in the range from 395 to 31. Experimental data for the static fluid pressure distribution along the transport tube agree quite well with the model predictions. The results measured at a distance of 1.51 m from the transport tube inlet show that the particle velocity and the mean voidage increase with the increase in superficial gas velocity. The slip velocity changes from negative values at low gas superficial velocities to positive values at high gas superficial velocities. The same trend was observed for the change of the pressure gradient in the system. The values of the pressure gradient, porosity, particle velocity and slip velocity along the tube were calculated according to the formulated model. The distance from the transport tube inlet at which the slip velocity changes its sign from positive to negative is the function of the gas superficial velocity. At positive slip velocity both gravity and drag contribute to particle acceleration. At negative slip velocity the drag force acts in upward direction resisting the particle acceleration. In downward co-current gas-solid flow acceleration length is relatively long, about two times longer compared to the upward co-current gas-solid flow.

AB  - In this paper, different methods for particle characterization were applied to 16 polydisperse fractions of quartz filtration sand obtained by sieving, with sieve diameters in the interval d(m) = 0359 to 2.415. For each fraction, volume diameter was measured and projected diameter and 2D shape factor were obtained using the scanned image of the projection of a large number of particles. The correlations between the volume diameter, projected diameter and 2D shape factor with sieve diameter were proposed. All of the correlations show linear dependence between the variables. The sphericity was determined for the fractions from packed-bed pressure drop measurements; from terminal velocity measurements using different correlations for the calculation of C-D, direct correlations for U-t and from direct empirical correlations. The sphericities obtained using different methods and correlations gave very different results. Both the sphericity and the 2D shape factor were shown to decrease with increase in particle sieve diameter.

AB  - The one-dimensional model of accelerating turbulent downward counter-current gas-solids flow of coarse particles was formulated and experimentally verified by measuring the pressure distribution along the transport tube. The continuity and momentum equations were used in the model formulation and variational model was used for the prediction of the fluid-particle interphase drag coefficient. Experiments were performed by transporting spherical glass particles 1.94 mm in diameter in a 16 mm i.d. acrylic tube at constant solids mass flux of 392.8 kg/m(2)s. Tube Reynolds number ranged from 170 to 5300 and the slip Reynolds number from 650 to 1060. Under these conditions loading ratio (G(p)/G(f)) varied between 66 and 2089. Visual observations show that particles flow downward in apparently homogenous dispersion. Experimental data for the static fluid pressure distribution along the transport tube agree quite well with the model predictions. The mean voidage and the particle velocity decrease, while the slip velocity increases with the increase in gas superficial velocity. The values of the pressure gradient, porosity, particle velocity and slip velocity along the tube were calculated according to the formulated model. In these calculations, particle-wall friction coefficient was determined indirectly by adjusting the f(p) value to agree with the experimental data. The effect of the value of fp on the model calculations was significant. Calculations show that the acceleration length for the same particles (1.94 mm) in downward counter-current gas-solids flow is about two times higher than the acceleration length in upward co-current gas-solids flow. In the system investigated, "choking" occurs at slip velocity which is about 73% of the single particle terminal velocity.

AB  - In this paper, heat transfer coefficients between the hot packed beds of particles and the larger cold immersed sphere were experimentally determined. The packed beds consisted of mono-sized spherical glass particles of d(p), = 1.2, 1.94 and 2.98 mm. The aluminum test spheres of D-p = 6, 12 and 20 mm with K-type (Ni/A1) thermocouples inserted in them were immersed into the bed. The temperatures of the test spheres were recorded until the thermal equilibrium was reached. From these recordings, heat transfer coefficients were determined. The experiments were performed in the range of gas superficial velocity of similar to 0.3-0.8 m/s and the bed temperature from 90 to 320 degrees C. It was found that the measured heat transfer coefficients increased with the increase in gas superficial velocity, while only a slight increase with temperature was observed for test spheres D-p = 6 and 12 mm in the investigated temperature interval. The heat transfer coefficients were generally larger for smaller test spheres, while they did not show significant dependence on the size of the bed particles. The literature correlations for heat transfer coefficients in packed beds in form of Nusselt number and heat transfer factor j(H) were compared to experimental data from this work. The correlations proposed by Collier et al. (2004) [18] and Handley and Heggs (1968) [2] fit our experimental data best. The mean error between the experimentally determined heat transfer coefficients and the ones calculated from Collier et al. (2004) [18] correlation was 12.7%.

AB  - Particle velocities have been measured in two-dimensional water fluidized beds of mono-sized spherical glass particles d(p) = 1.94, 2.98, 4.00 and 6.00 mm in diameter. For each particle size, a separate column was constructed in a manner that the column thickness corresponded to approximately 3 particle diameters. A large number of observations are required to obtain a stable value of total particle speed. The presented data indicated that in order to obtain a stable value of the mean total particle speed, a minimum of 4000 data points was needed. The distribution of total particle speeds follows the Maxwell distribution quite well. The effect of water velocity on the distribution function was similar to the effect of temperature on molecular speed distribution in the kinetic theory. The distribution of vertical and horizontal particle velocity components followed approximately a modified Gaussian distribution. A correlation for predicting the total mean particle speed in 2D water fluidized beds is proposed. The mean absolute deviation between the experimental and measured particle velocities for the present data is 11.0%. The proposed correlation predicts the data of Carlos and Richardson [5] and Latif and Richardson [6] for 3D fluidized beds reasonably well.

AB  - Fluidization experiments were conducted on four fractions of filtration (quartz) sand using columns of 144 and 64 mm i.d. The size distribution of the fractions obtained by sieving followed an approximately modified normal (Gaussian) particle size distribution with respect to the projected particle diameter, while the shape factor decreased linearly with increasing projected particle diameter. The expansion characteristics of the sand particles followed a Richardson-Zaki relationship. The intercept velocity, i.e., the extrapolated value of the fluid superficial velocity to epsilon=1 on the plot log (U) vs. log (epsilon), agreed quite well with the experimentally determined mean free settling velocity of the cloud of about 30 randomly selected particles. During fluidization, the beds were hydraulically separated into 10 sub-fractions, which are then analyzed. For the mixture d(p)=0.75-1.25 mm during fluidization at an overall bed expansion of 35%, the bed partially segregated since, remarkably, the smallest particles were concentrated at the top, while the largest particles were concentrated in the bottom zone. In the remaining part of the bed (about 80% of total mass), the particles were well mixed. Similar experiments were performed with sand mixtures d(p)=1.60-2.00 mm, d(p)=1.40-2.00 mm and d(p)=1.166-2.00 mm. By analyzing the particle size distribution at the bottom and at the top of the bed, it was concluded that the bed was well mixed if the sieving ratio of the largest to smallest sieve opening was less than about 1.5.

AB  - Ethylene oxide (EtO) is an organic compound, which is used as a starting material in the production of polymers and as sterilizing agent for thermolabile materials. Although ethylene oxide is not common as an organic pollutant, its removal from numerous emission sources (e.g., ethylene oxide production plants or food and pharmaceutical sterilizing units) is of crucial importance because of its mutagenic, teratogenic and cancerogenic effects on human health. The objective of this paper is the experimental investigation of ethylene oxide (EtO) absorption in diluted aqueous solution of sulfuric acid in order to evaluate the applicability of this procedure as well as to obtain project parameters for industrial plant realizetion. It was found that absorption is suitable as the fist step in the purification treatment of high EtO concentrations in the emission gases. According to the literature data, the basic parameter that defines the scrubber efficiency is the contact time, i.e. the ratio of packing height in the scrubber to the velocity of the gas mixture. To investigate the characteristics of wet treatment in a broad range of contact time, parts of the experimental studies were conducted in a system with two and with three scrubbers in series. The obtained experimental results show that the high degree of EtO removal can be achieved (>98%) when the contact time is sufficiently long (about 25s). The process is effective until the concentration of formed glycol in the solution reaches a value of about 20%. The process is safe and there is no danger of ignition and explosion of air and EtO mixture, although at the entrance to the scrubber EtO concentrations are significantly above the lower explosive limit.

Apsorpcija je naročito pogodan postupak kao prvi stepen prečišćavanja u slučajevima kada je emisiona koncentracija EtO visoka. Eksperimentalno je ispitan uticaj širokog opsega vremena kontakta na efikasnost uklanjanja EtO. Ulazne koncentracije EtO su varirane od 4 do 40 vol.%, a vremena kontakta od 4 do 40 s. Apsorcija je izvođena u rastvoru sumporne kiseline (H2SO4) pri čemu dolazi do hidrolize EtO u etilen-glikol. Efikasnost apsorpcije EtO opada sa povećanjem koncentracije etilen-glikola u apsorpcionom rastvoru. Rezultati eksperimentalnih ispitivanja su pokazali da se može postići visok stepen efikasnosti uklanjanja EtO (> 98%) pod uslovom da je vreme kontakta dovoljno dugo (oko 25s).
