The Life+ GreenWoolF project is aimed at demonstrating that green hydrolysis with superheated water is an effective way to convert wool wastes into organic nitrogen fertilizers. The core of the process is represented by the reaction tank (Figure 1) in which the hydrolyses reaction takes ... Read More
Activated carbon filtration has proven to be a reliable method to clean indoor air. In such a system, air, contaminated with VOCs, is led through the filter where the contaminants are adsorbed onto the filter. However, for the long term stability of the air purification system, it is ... Read More
Recently, hydrogen is widely used as environmental energy and high energy content. The hydrogen is mainly produced by water gas shift reaction(WGSR) from coal to hydrogen process in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle(IGCC) plant. WGSR, well known for hydrogen production, is a ... Read More
Various hydrocarbon compounds have been converted into pure hydrogen by using a catalyst and a palladium membrane in one reactor (PMR) in a one-step process where the reaction proceeds to almost complete conversion. Octane is converted into pure hydrogen using of a palladium membrane ... Read More
A novel type of photocatalytic reactor, i.e. parallel flow tube reactor (PFTR) is presented for the degradation of indoor air pollution with UV-light. A Multiphysics model was developed in COMSOL Multiphysics® to predict the steady-state behavior under different inlet concentrations and ... Read More
A model was developed to simulate the reaction, concentration field, flow field, and temperature distribution inside a Claus reactor for converting hydrogen sulfide to sulfur. The model considered two ideal reactors, a continuous stirred tank reactor and a plug flow reactor. As expected, ... Read More
In the field of chemical reaction engineering chemical kinetics and fluid dynamics are described by various mathematical approaches. Such tools help to shorten the time-to-market of novel products and processes. Thanks to the continuously improving computation power, it is possible to ... Read More
This paper presents a simulation approach to develop a model for understanding the mixing phenomenon in a stirred vessel. The mixing in the vessel is important for effective chemical reaction, heat transfer, mass transfer and phase homogeneity. In some cases, it is very difficult to ... Read More
In this article we present Simulations results of an evaporation reactor for optical layer applications. The thermal simulation concern the source of the evaporated material. An experimental problem is ralated to the shape of the material powder surface: due to the evaporation rate, the ... Read More
The rise in atmospheric CO2 needs the development of efficient conversion technologies. CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) emerges as a compelling solution, offering the transformation of CO2 into more energetic compounds, such as fuels (hydrocarbons, alcohols, etc.) and valuable chemicals, ...
