Abstract:
Solar photocatalytic detoxification of non-biodegradable chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents (NBCS) is carried out in different concentrating and non concentrating devices using TiO2 as a photocatalyst fixed on the inner surface of the reaction tubes or as a slurry catalyst which has to be removed from the treated water. The reaction is most effective using 200 mg/l of TiO2 as a slurry in a non concentrating CPC reactor. The concentrating parabolic trough reactor has a poor activity because of its minor irradiated reactor surface. Catalyst coated glass tubes are less efficient then the used slurry catalyst. Their advantage is that no catalyst has not to be removed from the treated water and there is no loss of activity during treatment. Yet their physical stability is not sufficient to be competitive to the slurry catalyst. Nevertheless the degradation results are very promising and will possibly lead to commercial applications of this technology.

Abstract:
The photocatalytic disinfection efficiency has been investigated for two immobilized TiO2 catalytic systems (wall reactor and fixed-bed reactor) in a solar pilot plant. Their performances have been compared with the use of a slurry reactor and the solar disinfection without catalyst. The use of photocatalytic TiO2 wall reactors does no show clear benefits over the solar disinfection process in the absence of catalyst. The reason is that the efficiency of the solar disinfection is so high that the presence of titania in the reactor wall reduces the global efficiency due to the competition for the absorption of photons. As expected, the maximum efficiency was shown by the slurry TiO2 reactor, due to the optimum contact between bacteria and catalyst. However, it is noticeable that the use of the fixed-bed reactor leads to inactivation rate quite close to that of the slurry, requiring comparable accumulated solar energy of about 6 kJ L−1 to achieve a 6-log decrease in the concentration of viable bacteria and allowing a total disinfection of the water (below the detection limit of 1 CFU mL−1). Not only the high titania surface area of this configuration is responsible for the bacteria inactivation but the important contribution of the mechanical stress has to be considered. The main advantage of the fixed-bed TiO2 catalyst is the outstanding stability, without deactivation effects after ten reaction cycles, being readily applicable for continuous water treatment systems.

Abstract:
Direct-absorption anaerobic reactors can maintain the fermentation process of microorganisms by utilizing solar absorption and scattering media in the biogas reactor to improve the slurry temperature. Direct-absorption heating alone can save the corresponding electric energy and ensure the normal fermentation process of the biogas slurry in the reactor, but there is still the problem of temperature fluctuation. In order to improve the stability of the fermentation process, it is proposed to optimize the design of this kind of reactor by adding paraffin phase change material. This article mainly studies the influence of paraffin phase change material added on the top and side of the reactor in the fermentation process and gives the corresponding design parameters for different climatic conditions, which lays a theoretical reference for the design process of this kind of reactor.

Abstract:
Decisive hydrodynamic and mass transfer characteristics of different types of tower reactors (rotating disc reactor, single and multistage sieve-tray bubble columns, tower reactor with ejector gas distributor) as well as the energy effectiveness of their performance were compared with the purpose to establish a quantitative basis for the qualified choice of the proper reactor type according to demands of specific reaction processes. Selected design parameters included gas and solid phase holdup, kLaL, liquid phase residence time distribution, and axial distribution of the solid phase, the experiments were carried out in a wide range of solid phase concentration (0-20 wt. %) and particle sizes (2.3-280 μm). The experimental results proved that due to their favourable suspension characteristics and operation stability the rotating disc reactors can be advantageously used for slow reaction processes with low demands on the intensity of interfacial gas-liquid contact which can be carried out at low gas flow rates. On the other hand the multistage bubble column reactors proved to be superior devices for transport–controlled reaction processes regarding both the achievable rate of interfacial mass transfer and the overall energetic efficiency of phase contacting.

Abstract:
Ammonia (NH3) emissions deriving from the management of livestock manure have a significant environmental impact, and therefore it is important to reduce them. Among the available options, the process of NH3 stripping is promising to remove NH3 from manures and digestates recovering it as a mineral fertilizer (e.g., ammonium sulfate) that is more widely adoptable on farms. The traditional stripping process takes place in batches; however, in this study, a continuous process was evaluated using a lab scale plant in which four reactors were used in series with different hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 12 or 20 days. The NH3 recovery of each reactor was studied for the liquid fraction of pig slurry, dairy cattle slurry and digestate, applying simple headspace aeration. For 20 days of HRT, totals of 92%, 83% and 67% of NH3 were stripped from the digestate, pig slurry and dairy cattle slurry, respectively. For 12 days of HRT, total NH3 recoveries were 83%, 60% and 41% for the digestate, pig slurry and dairy cattle slurry, respectively. The inlet NH3 concentration and inlet total alkalinity had a positive and negative effect, respectively, on the specific NH3 removal rate for each reactor. Stripping NH3 on farm scale can abate NH3 emissions in response to the environmental concerns of European policies.

Abstract:
Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of coal is a promising clean coal technology, which discards the traditional coal combustion and oxidation reaction to release carbon dioxide and other pollutants and replaces coal with a gasification reduction reaction in supercritical water to finally convert coal into a hydrogen-rich gas product with no net carbon dioxide emissions and no pollutant emissions, and thus has received much attention in recent years. However, the experimental conditions of coal to the hydrogen reactor are harsh, costly, and not easy to visualize and analyze, so numerical calculation and simulation analysis are important for the design, optimization, and industrial scaling-up of the reactor. In order to study the effect of the temperature field on the hydrogen production rate of the coal supercritical water gasification hydrogen production reactor, a numerical simulation calculation model is developed for this reactor in this paper. Comparing the experimental data in the literature, the maximum relative error of the gasification product yield per kg of coal between the two is less than 5%, which verifies the accuracy of the model built and the numerical method adopted in this paper. On this basis, the effects of supercritical water temperature and coal slurry temperature on the reactor’s gasification products and reaction rate were investigated in depth. The results show that increasing the supercritical water temperature is beneficial to improve the reactor hydrogen production efficiency, while the high coal slurry temperature is not conducive to adequate reaction, thus reducing the hydrogen production efficiency. For the laboratory coal supercritical water gasification to hydrogen reactor studied in this paper, the ideal temperature of supercritical water is 850~900 K, and the ideal temperature of coal slurry is 400–450 K. The conclusions of this paper can provide some reference for subsequent industrial scale-up studies of the reactor.

Abstract:
Batch regeneration of barium carbonate (BaCO3) from barium sulphide (BaS) slurries by passing CO2 gas into a pilot-scale bubbling column reactor under ambient conditions was used to assess the technical feasibility of BaCO3 recovery in the Alkali Barium Calcium (ABC) desalination process and its use for sulphate removal from high sulphate Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). The effect of key process parameters, such as BaS slurry concentration and CO2 flow rate on the carbonation, as well as the extent of sulphate removal from AMD using the recovered BaCO3 were investigated. It was observed that the carbonation reaction rate for BaCO3 regeneration in a bubbling column reactor significantly increased with increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) flow rate whereas the BaS slurry content within the range 5–10% slurry content did not significantly affect the carbonation rate. The CO2 flow rate also had an impact on the BaCO3 morphology. The BaCO3 recovered from the pilot-scale bubbling column reactor demonstrated effective sulphate removal ability during AMD treatment compared with commercial BaCO3.

Abstract:
Anaerobic digestion of animal manure is a potential bioenergy resource that avoids greenhouse gas emissions. However, the conventional approach is to use continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) with hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of greater than 30 d. Reactors with biomass retention were investigated in this study in order to increase the efficiency of the digestion process. Filtered pig slurry was used as a substrate in an expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor and fixed-bed (FB) reactor. The highest degradation efficiency (ηCOD) and methane yield (MY) relative to the chemical oxygen demand (COD) were observed at the minimum loading rates, with MY = 262 L/kgCOD and ηCOD = 73% for the FB reactor and MY = 292 L/kgCOD and ηCOD = 76% for the EGSB reactor. The highest daily methane production rate (MPR) was observed at the maximum loading rate, with MPR = 3.00 m3/m3/d at HRT = 2 d for the FB reactor and MPR = 2.16 m3/m3/d at HRT = 3 d for the EGSB reactor. For both reactors, a reduction in HRT was possible compared to conventionally driven CSTRs, with the EGSB reactor offering a higher methane yield and production rate at a shorter HRT.

In order to meet a need of application of photocatalyst, a slurry dipping method was adopted for nano-TiO2 coating on optical fiber. Three slurry states were designed and their effects on coating quality were investigated. Experimental results showed that paste state may lead to surface cracks in coating. Both flocculent and dispersive slurry states can form high quality coatings whose coating microstructures are different, the former resulted in a loose and thicker coating and the later resulted in a dense and thinner coating, which supplied a basis for further study on effect of photocatalytic reaction and design of photocatalyst reactor.

Abstract:
AbstractThree-phase catalysis, for example, hydrogenation, is a special branch of chemical reactions involving a hydrogen reactant (gas) and a solvent (liquid) in the presence of a metal porous catalyst (solid) to produce a liquid product. Currently, many reactors are being used for three-phase catalysis from packed bed to slurry vessel; the uniqueness for this type of reaction in countless processes is the requirement of transferring gas into liquid, as yet there is not a unified system of quantifying and comparing reactor performances. This article reviews current methodologies in carrying out such heterogeneous catalysis in different reactors and focuses on how to enhance reactor performance from gas transfer perspectives. This article also suggests that the mass transfer rate over energy dissipation may represent a fairer method for comparison of reactor performance accounting for different types/designs of reactors and catalyst structures as well as operating conditions.

Abstract:
Meeting the industry goal of $2/kg for solar H2 is a daunting task that will require novel, highly efficient systems which eliminate many of the components and balance-of-systems costs inherent with photovoltaics + electrolyzers. Technoeconomic models have consistently shown that a photoactive slurry reactor for water-splitting could offer the cheapest route to storing solar energy as hydrogen fuel. However, abundant challenges with this approach have thus far limited such particle-based reactors to prohibitively low efficiencies. This talk will highlight our progress toward the development of a tandem semiconductor particle system designed to address the weaknesses of slurry reactors and achieve a high solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency for particle systems. A proof-of-concept tandem structure uses silicon microwires as the base of the particle, with a wider bandgap TiO2 layer grown on top to gain the additional photovoltage necessary to split water. Semiconductor architecture development and performance will be discussed along with early modeling efforts. In-situ magnetic alignment of the particles has been demonstrated for possible improved tandem light management. In addition, slurry optical characterization and photoelectrochemical performance will be discussed as a function of slurry parameters including bubble flowrate, particle concentration, spectral conditions, and light management strategies. Slurry conditions for minimizing back reactions will be discussed as well.

Abstract:
This study reports the analysis and design of a liquid phase esterification process to convert acetic acid with isoamyl alcohol into isoamyl acetate via reactive pervaporation, in the presence of an Amberlite IR-120 ion exchange resin catalyst. To accomplish this, a catalytic reactor is coupled with a separation membrane unit (Pervaporation Membrane Reactor (PVMR)). In the proposed unit, the chemical reaction equilibrium is favorably shifted towards isoamyl acetate formation by removing water with the help of a separation membrane. The study is developed by using relevant thermodynamics, kinetics, and membrane transport models, and by considering different catalytic reactor-pervaporator membrane configurations such as: (a) a two-step continuous fixed bed-pervaporator process (FBR+PVMU), (b) a two-step continuous slurry reactor-pervaporator process (SR+PVMU), (c) a single-step integrated fixed bed-pervaporator reactor (IFBPVMR), and d) a single step integrated slurry-pervaporator reactor (ISPVMR). The performance of the PVMRs is evaluated by using a R recycle ratio, a Ω membrane area to reactor volume ratio, and Da Damköhler dimensionless parameters. From the various proposed configurations, it is shown that the integrated plug flow reactor-pervaporation reactor (IFBPVMR) provides the best performance. On the basis of various simulations and design charts developed in the present study, operational conditions leading to optimum ester yields as high as 0.94 are predicted. These results provide a valuable prospect for the industrial scale-up and implementation of isoamyl acetate production units.

Abstract:
Chemical phenomena involving three phases (solid, liquid, and gas) are often found in the industry. Carbonate (CaCO3) is widely used in industries as a powder-making material in the cosmetic industry, a pigment in the paint industry, and filler in the paper and rubber industry. This research aim to study the ordering process carbonate deposits (CaCO3) from the absorption process of CO2 gas with Ca(OH)2 suspension. The absorption reaction of CO2 gas with Ca(OH)2 suspension was carried out in a stirred slurry tank reactor. Initially, the reactor containing water was heated to a certain temperature, then Ca(OH)2 was added to the reactor. Furthermore, CO2 gas with a certain flow rate and temperature (according to the reactor temperature) is flown with the help of a gas distributor. Samples were taken every 1 min until the concentration of Ca(OH)2 could not be detected (completely reacted). The variables in this study were: stirrer rotation speed (5.66711.067 rps), CO2 gas flow rate (34.0127–60.5503 c/s), and temperature (30–50°C). The mass transfer coefficient and the reaction rate coefficient were determined by minimizing Sum of Squares of Errors (SSE). This experimental process follows a dynamic regime. A dimensionless number relationship for the gas-liquid mass transfer for the value range is Re1 = 18928.76-38217.20, Sh = 0.07928 Reg0.4383 Rel0.4399 Sc0.6415 with an error of 5.19%. The dimensionless number relationship for solid-liquid mass transfer is Sh = 0.0001179 Reg0.4674 Rel0.5403 Sc1.444 with an error of 7.31%. The relationship between the reaction rate constant and the temperature in the 30-50 °C range can be approximated by the Arrhenius equation, namely kr = 1771000 e-2321.4/T cm3/mgmol/s with an error of 3.63%.

Abstract:
Supercritical water fluidized beds (SCWFBs) are promising and efficient reactors for the gasification of coal in supercritical water. The understanding and investigation of multi-phase flows as well as the gasification process usually rely on time-consuming experiments or numerical simulations, which prohibit fast and full exploration of the single and coupled effects of the operation and geometric parameters. To this end, this paper builds an efficient surrogate-assisted parameter analysis framework for the SCWFB reactor. Particularly, (1) it establishes a steady numerical simulation model of the SCWFB reactor for the subsequent analysis; and (2) it employs a Gaussian process surrogate modeling via efficient adaptive sampling to serve as an approximation for predicting the carbon conversion efficiency (CE) of the reactor. Based on this parameter analysis framework, this paper investigates the effects of five independent parameters (the mass flow rate of supercritical water, mass flow rate of the coal slurry, temperature of supercritical water, temperature of the outer wall and reactor length) and their interactions on the reaction performance in terms of the carbon conversion efficiency (CE). We found that the CE increases as a function of the temperature of supercritical water, the temperature of the outer wall and the reactor length; while it decreases as a function of the mass flow rate of supercritical water and the mass flow rate of the coal slurry. Additionally, the global sensitivity analysis demonstratesthat the influence of the temperature of the outer wall exerts a stronger effect than all the other factors on the CE, and the coupled interaction among parameters has a slight effect on the CE. This research provides useful guidance for scaled-up designs and optimization of the SCWFB reactor.

Abstract:
In this study, CO2 removal efficiency from flue gas was investigated in a fluidized bed reactor under semi-dry conditions. A lab-scale fluidized bed reactor, filled with inert glass beads, was used to investigate the effect of operating parameters on the CO2 removal efficiency using calcium hydroxide slurry as the absorbent. The Taguchi design method was used to design the experiments. The maximum inlet concentration of CO2 was 3 vol%. The most important factors were the reaction surface area, inlet gas velocity, inlet CO2 concentration, absorbent solution flow rate, inlet gas temperature and calcium hydroxide slurry concentration. The experimental results indicated that the CO2 removal efficiency increased when increasing the effective surface area of the reaction. Moreover, the removal efficiency increased by decreasing the input gas flow rate and inlet CO2 concentration. By performing experiments under optimum conditions, the maximum obtained CO2 removal efficiency was 79%. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group. All rights reserved

Abstract:
Poly(isobutylene-co-isoprene) or butyl rubber was invented in 1937 and has been used in many technologically important applications during the ensuing years. Its physical properties such as air-retention encouraged its uses in tire inner tubes, and played an important part in the tubeless tire development. The halogenated derivative is now predominantly used in tubeless radial tires.Butyl rubber is made by a slurry polymerization process with aluminum chloride catalyst at -95°C in methyl chloride diluent. Typical reactor runs only last from 18-60 hours because of fouling of the reactor. Fouling and agglomeration occur because only weak electrostatic repulsion forces exist, but recent patents describe the use of block copolymer stabilizer agents which create steric (entropic) repulsion forces between slurry polymer particles and preventTo better understand the mechanism of reactor fouling, a method was developed to collect samples from within the reactor.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of internal loop reactor for heavy oil slurry bed hydroprocessing have been done in commercial code Fluent 6.3 using Euler two-phase flow model and standard k-ε turbulence model. The effects of the physical properties on the flow field in the reactor are investigated. The results show that the gas density has little effect but the liquid viscosity has a significant effect on flow field and gas hold-up. An analysis of the effect of reactor structures and scale-up on the flow field and gas hold-up are also provided, and optimal structure is obtained through simulations. The conclusions obtained in this paper have great significance for the slurry bed hydrocracking process.

Abstract:
Mechanically agitated reactors find wide range of applications for solid suspension and mixing in the chemical, biochemical, and mineral processing industries. Understanding the solids dynamics in these reactors is necessary to improve the design and operation of such reactors. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models are often useful in this regard, as it can provide significant insights into the flow and mixing of the phases involved. However, the model predictions need extensive evaluation with experimental results before they can be confidently used for the scale-up and optimization of large scale reactors. In the present work the predictive capabilities of CFD techniques as applied to solid-liquid stirred vessels are investigated. Suspensions of sand (diameter equal to 327 m) in water are studied. Eulerian-Granular multiphase model was simulated using FLUNT 6.3.26 to predict the slurry reactor design under uncertainty. The profiles obtained with the Eulerian-Granular approach coupled with the Eulerian, Granular models, and experimental data for comparison purposes. The present model provides an improvement of the predictions in the lower part of the vessel, with respect to the Eulerian model; while the same results can be observed in the rest of the tank where the solid concentration is lower. It seems that the interaction phenomena between the solid and the liquid phases and those among the solid particles do not vary appreciably for low solid concentrations, while at higher concentration some effects become noticeable. It was found that the quasi-steady state behavior of the sand in the mixing tank reached after 20 sec, also after 10 sec were the free surface of the static pressure will be growth until reach peremptory shape after 20 sec. The present model provides a proper representation for the solid distribution, by adopting particle drag coefficient.

Abstract:
A slurry bubble column reactor to produce green fuel through hydrocracking of vegetable oil with Ni-W/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst was simulated in this research with the objectives being to obtain a mathematical model of the reactor and an optimum operation condition. The steady state two-dimensional axisymmetric model of the slurry bubble column reactor with the diameter of 2.68 m and height of 7.14 m was modelled by considering mass and heat transfers. The very small liquid superficial velocity reflects that the liquid phase is in batch-like operation. The gas of 0.01 m/s in superficial velocity flows upward to suspend and agitate the spherical catalyst particles of 100 μm in diameter inside the reactor. The reactor operated at 80 bar and 420°C. Triglyceride of 5% w/w in dodecane and hydrogen of 105.5 mol hydrogen/triglyceride enter the reactor from the bottom. The research also considered pressure drop and loading catalyst distribution inside the reactor. Simulation results show that the triglyceride conversion is 99.26%, the product yield is 40.68% w/w, and the product purity is 45.55% w/w.

Abstract:
The biogas digestate liquid slurry used in hydroponic farming effectively brings in a large amount of organic matter along with several complementary nutrients, improving nutrient quality and enhancing microbial activities within the hydroponic medium to boost plant growth and productivity. Liquid slurry from biogas digestate, applied after liquid-solid separation, supports sustainable farming by recycling organic matter and nutrients derived purely from production wastes. <strong>Hydroponics:</strong> This process allows continuous plant growth without being affected by seasonal or environmental conditions, making it particularly beneficial in areas where agricultural land is too limited, such as small urban spaces. Growing soilless vegetables and recycling liquid slurry from biogas plants as fertilizers is highly advantageous for food production and sustainable organic waste management. We tested this by growing lettuce (Lactuca sativa capitata) with biogas digestate in a hydroponic nutrient film technology system, using cabbage (Brassica oleracea var.) as the test crop. We removed large amounts of ammonium from the digestate through nitrification, either outside the system or within an integrated hydroponic culture system using moving bed biofilm reactors. We looked at differences in pH, crop growth, shoot water content, and shoot mineral content between treatments with different amounts of nitrification and digestate input diameters. The results indicated that increasing the growing time by about one week (equivalent to 20%) resulted in yields in biogas-slurry-based hydroponics comparable to those obtained with synthetic fertilizers in conventional hydroponics. The addition of digestate with automatically adjusted pH showed no significant difference from the mineral fertilizer reference system, as evidenced by the shoot dry weight. However, when considering how well they fit into a circular system, the benefits become clearer. When designing a hydroponic system that uses liquid slurry from biogas plants as fertilizer, it is critical to consider the amount of ammonium and the pH at which the slurry works best. Additionally, it is worth thinking about the moment when nitrogen changes form.

Abstract:
Abstract In order to quantitatively describe the pressure change during the copolymerization in industrial fluidized bed reactors, a dynamic reactor model was developed according to the mass and energy balances as well as real gas state-equation and copolymerization kinetics. Furthermore, in order to inspect the performance of pressure relief devices in response to the accident conditions, a set of pressure relief equations were also incorporated into the dynamic reactor model. Therefore, the extended reactor model is able to calculate the relief pressure besides other variables in the reactors such as temperature, slurry density and solid hold-up, which provides an important guidance for selecting pressure relief device and safe production. Dynamic data from certain industrial reactor were used to verify the above model. Finally, the application of the extended model was demonstrated by simulating several typical emergency accidents.

Abstract:
A nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is applied to a slurry polymerization stirred tank reactor for the production of high-density polyethylene. Its performance is examined to reach the required mean molecular weight and comonomer composition, together with the temperature setpoint. A complete phenomenological model including the microscale, the mesoscale and the macroscale levels was developed to represent the plant. The control algorithm comprises a neural dynamic model that uses a neural network structure with a feedforward topology. The algorithm implementation considers the optimization problem, the manipulated and controlled variables adopted and presents results for the regulatory and servo problems, including the possibility of dead time and multi-rate sampling in the controlled variables. The simulation results show the high performance of the NMPC algorithm based in a model for one-step ahead prediction only, and, at the same time, attests the strong difficulty to control polymer properties with dead time in their measurements.
