A laboratory-scale fluorine reactor was simulated with COMSOL Multiphysics®. This model employs fundamental fully coupled electron-, heat-, mass- and momentum transfer (two-phase) equations to deliver a transient model of the above-mentioned reactor. Quasi-steady-state results were ... Read More
Introduction: In inductively coupled plasma (ICP) systems the inductive antenna is coupled to the excited plasma inside the low pressure gas reactor. A multi-ICP system can be used for increased area processing and provide additional variables for controlling the plasma. However, ... Read More
Different types of technologies to recycle carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) waste have been studied, for example: pyrolysis, solvolysis and steam-thermolysis. The steam-thermolysis is a process that combines pyrolysis and superheated steam at atmospheric pressure to decompose the ... Read More
Chemical reactions performed under microwave irradiation often have high reaction rates and high selectivities, which enable reactor sizes to be compact and processes to be energy-conserving. A microwave oven is widely used for microwave chemical processing and chemical synthesis. The ... Read More
The time-dependent operation of methanol, ammonia, and urea production units embedded in a steel mill technical environment is analyzed with dynamic simulation models. From different process concepts and gas availability scenarios a set of simulation cases is defined with blast furnace ... Read More
Three-dimensional (3D) printed 0.52 wt.% Fe/SiC monoliths with interconnected channels, fabricated by direct ink printing or Robocasting, are feasible and robust catalysts for the hydroxylation of phenol to dihydroxybenzenes using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in aqueous media [1]. ... Read More
The versatility of the 3D printing technology has allowed developing originally structured catalysts for interesting reactions, for instance, the 0.5wt.%Fe/SiC monoliths for the treatment of industrial wastewater. These monolithic structures, manufactured by Robocasting, have ... Read More
It is desired to design a photobioreactor for the production of voluminous samples of microalgae for lipid quantification. The reactor should provide good growing conditions even with periodic withdrawal of samples. It also should be compact for better use of laboratory space. Therefore, ... Read More
Introduction: Development of next-generation chemical processes that have zero emissions is a key environmental objective for sustainable development. The manufacture of H2SO4 by the air oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is an important technology where an opportunity exists for new catalyst ... Read More
In the core of Chemical Engineering is the reactor design that includes most of all scientific disciplines. The reactors, in general, are treated ideally. Unfortunately, it is observed in the real world a very different behavior from that expected. Thus, to characterize nonideal ... Read More
