 Blending of oil stocks with hydrocarbons form non-ideal mixtures, for which excess volumes can be positive or negative depending to the nature of species.Gas oil mixed with nine petroleum fractions or individual hydrocarbons consisting of aromatics, and paraffinic nature in addition to an alcohol and a ketone. The systems  have been subjected to density measurements at two temperatures. The results are reported in terms of excess volume, VE .

Packed beds are used in many process industries (e.g. Adsorption, Absorption,Distillation, and Filtration).

 The removal of phenol pollutant from water was studied using continuous adsorption process onto MS type 13X. This adsorbent was treated with urea and thiourea to enhance its adsorption ability towards phenol.The preparation step was made by mixing of saturated solution of urea or thiourea, with powder molecular sieve 13X and adding sodium silicat as binder to give homogenous mixture in approximate weight percent, 20 wt% urea or thiourea, 30 wt% binder, 50 wt% MS13X.
