The combined steam/dry reforming (S/DR) technology was used to produce syngas from clean biogas. In the reaction conditions proposed, catalytic bed can produce, without deactivation, a with H2/CO ratio of ≈2 directly processable for methanol or Fischer–Tropsch syntheses. Starting laboratory data obtained in industrial conditions, mass and energy balances overall process were Aspen HYSYS simulations. environmental evaluation performed by applying life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology,...
Membrane Bio Reactors (MBRs) are mainly used for industrial wastewaters applications where their costs can be more easily afforded. High basically due to energy consumption and membrane cleaning or replacement. fouling is responsible reducing treated water production increasing maintenance as well operation costs. According previous researches, the addition of Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) in high dosages could reduce fouling; but such concentrations economically unsustainable operative...
In this paper, a laboratory-scale experimentation allowed comparing the performances of two upflow anaerobic packed-bed filters filled with different packing materials and operating at mesophilic conditions (30 degreeC) for treating slaughterhouse wastewaters. Methane production was experimentally evaluated considering volumetric organic loading rates as well feeding overloading conditions. Although filter declined higher than 6 kg CODin m-3 d-1 , chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal...
Sepsis is a frequent complication in critically ill patients. Patients may require control of the source infection, removal pathogens and damaged cells, organ support. Often, these targets can be achieved through utilization extracorporeal therapies including hemoperfusion for adsorption cytokines other circulating mediators. On support, patients are generally treated with antibiotic therapy, vancomycin one most commonly used antibiotics. Because aspecific nature adsorption, antibiotics...
A simple and general scale-up procedure, based on boundary temperature diagram safety criteria for exothermic semibatch reactors (SBRs), has been developed. Such a procedure is few graphical correlations that allow end users, dealing with homogeneous as well heterogeneous SBRs (with or without autocatalytic behavior), an easy selection of safe operating conditions at the laboratory scale their to industrial one, maximizing same time reactor productivity.
In this work, a simple and general procedure for optimally scaling-up exothermic semibatch processes has been applied to the analysis of nitration reaction performed in agrochemical industry production an important class herbicides. Such is indirectly cooled reactors which species be nitrated added mixture sulfuric nitric acid, forming heterogeneous (liquid−liquid) system. Adiabatic calorimetric experiments ARC equipment showed that question belongs most critical processes, maximum...
Safe and productive operating conditions for complex exothermic chemical processes are difficult to obtain because of the strong interaction between selectivity safety constraints. In this work a generalization topological criterion nonautocatalytic, chain, autocatalytic catalyzed reaction schemes is presented. Such criterion, useful isoperibolic semibatch processes, able detect so-called QFS boundary by performing analysis suitable reduced phase portrait system ordinary differential...
Safe operating conditions, for strongly exothermic chemical systems involving multiple reactions, are particularly critical to be obtained, because of the complex interactions between selectivity and safety constraints. In this work, new criteria, which useful isoperibolic semibatch processes consecutive reactions based on topology a particular phase space, presented. Such criteria able detect both runaway boundary so-called "quick onset, fair conversion, smooth temperature profile" (QFS)...
Strongly exothermic solution homopolymerizations are a class of chain reactions particularly difficult to be optimized from both safety and productivity viewpoint. Particularly, lots side undesired (e.g., backbiting, propagation tertiary radicals, transfer monomer or solvent, etc.), which affect the selectivity with respect desired product, relevant mass heat problems, due increasing system viscosity, take place during such syntheses. Under these unavoidable operating conditions, it is...
Biological methods as bio and biotrickling filtration are an energy-efficient economical alternative to treat biodegradable odorants volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in order obey stringent releases regulations that have arisen during the last few decades. In this work a plant upgrade case study, employing these techniques, is presented. It refers critical situation which off air streams, characterized by medium odorous loads high temperatures, were treated using biofilter only. context,...
This study includes trials that were conducted to evaluate the performances of two biofiltration pilot plants for industrial applications. The first experimentation analyzed removal high concentrations Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from discontinuous gas emissions resulting flexographic printing section a plastic packaging production factory. adopted layout was multi-stage plant filled with different packing materials (shells and peat). second trial examined exhaust air Solid Recovered...
