This article presents a comprehensive benchmarking analysis of merit performance factors in the Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) of the textile industry. The study aims to identify and evaluate key factors that contribute to the efficient operation and performance of ETPs. The performance of ETP was analyzed by valuable data gained from figures of PH, Dissolved oxygen, Dissolved solids, Suspended solids, Density, COD and BOD.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of Ni-based catalysts on titania-zirconia to achieve high hydrogen (H) yield and H/CO ratios through partial oxidation of methane (POM) at 600 °C.
  • The addition of 2.5 wt% strontium (Sr) to the catalyst significantly improved performance by enhancing the formation of active sites, leading to 45% CH conversion and 47% H yield with a H/CO ratio of 3.5.
  • Further optimization of the process led to predicted and validated results of approximately 88% CH conversion and 86-87% H yield at higher temperatures and specific conditions.

Zirconia-alumina-supported Ni (5Ni/10ZrO+AlO) and Sr-promoted 5Ni/10ZrO+AlO are prepared, tested for carbon dioxide (CO) methanation at 400 °C, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, surface area and porosity, infrared spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction/desorption techniques. The CO methanation is found to depend on the dispersion of Nickel (Ni) sites as well as the extent of stabilization of CO-interacted species. The Ni active sites are mainly derived from the reduction of 'moderately interacted NiO species'.

5Ni/MgO and 5Ni/γAlO are pronounced in the line of cheap catalyst systems for the dry reforming of methane. However, the lower reducibility of 5Ni/MgO and the significant coke deposition over 5Ni/γAlO limit their applicability as potential DRM catalysts. The mixing capacity of MgO and AlO may overcome these limitations without increasing the catalyst cost.
