Abstract

An experimental investigation has been made of the regeneration of phenol and caustic soda simultaneously by the electrolysis of aqueous sodium phenoxide in a cell using a cation exchange membrane as diaphragm. Current efficiencies close to 100% for both anodic and cathodic processes have been obtained for short periods of electrolysis but with prolonged operation considerable inefficiency arises due to adsorption and oxidation of phenol and loss of ion selectivity of the diaphragm. The presence of solid manganese dioxide in the electrolyte has been found to be useful in partially inhibiting the adsorption or oxidation of phenol at the anode.

The kinetics of the displacement (cementation) of gold by a rotating mild steel disc from an acidic thiourea solution are described. By measuring the rate of loss of gold as a function of time, it was established that the rate of the reaction was first order with respect to the gold concentration.

This report gives results of studies to find the numerical solution of a model representing fixed bed burning. Two well known approximating methods were used. They were (1) a first-order method and (2) the use of a second-order polynomial approximation. Truncation error studies were made to compare

Adsorption of phenol and nonylphenol from aqueous solutions on microporous activated carbons has been studied. The phenol isotherm changes from L-shaped for surface oxygen group free carbon (I sample) to a two-stepped isotherm for oxidized carbon (IN sample, HNO(3) treated) Furthermore, the adsorbed
