Computations of stage efficiencies or height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) were entirely avoided by this model. The consistency of simulated results and experimental data in conversions and concentration of each component along a column indicates that the model predicts the actual process well. The influences of operating parameters on hydrolytic conversions, such as feed molar ratios, feed locations, feed and reflux rates, heights of reactive and stripping sections, were analyzed adequately by simulating calculations. A good operating mode was then obtained, which is helpful to the development of a new process.展开更多

This attempt was strongly prompt by both the importance of this lake for water supply of Prishtina city and the lack of water. According to lake water balance, a water loss of 3,738,905 m^3 and 1,722,552 m^3 for the hydrologic year 2014 and the period January-May (2015) was evaluated. These consistent data favour the opinion that a continuous groundwater outflow from the lake is present and it is conditioned by the intensively developed fracture system in the lake basement formations. This was also supported by the chemical data (chloride, sulphate, hardness and electric conductivity etc.) of the water. Water from the leakages on the right side of the dam shows the same chemical signature as the water from the lake. Whereas, water from the piezometer, monitoring well and the gallery of Hajvalia mine show similar values with those of the water from the lake. The calculations of the chloride mass balance showed that the fractions of lake and rainfall waters in the water mixture of Hajvalia mine were 67% and 33% respectively.展开更多
