These functional adsorbents were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and BET. The effects of pH (2−6), contact time (1–480 min), and temperature (25–55℃) on the adsorption performance were investigated. The concentration of palladium(II) after adsorption was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry and the data were analyzed by kinetic, thermodynamic and isotherm fitting. At pH = 4, the adsorption conformed to Pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with rapid adsorption within 2 h and able to reach equilibrium within 5 h. Meanwhile, the Langmuir model was able to better describe the isotherm data, with the maximum adsorption exceeding 140 mg·g⁻¹. Moreover, the thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption was a heat-absorbing spontaneous process. The combination of XPS and DFT calculations elucidated the adsorption and desorption mechanisms, emphasized the potential of these adsorbents for the recovery of Pd(II) from aqueous solutions, and contributed to the development of sustainable and effective adsorption technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10019,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Research & Design","volume":"214 ","pages":"Pages 166-176"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ternary plots were plotted to locate the shift in three-phase region with variation in system components. It was observed that the increase in total concentration of both ethanol and NaH₂PO₄ in a system showed a reduction of density and viscosity in the middle phase and was found to increase in the top and bottom phases; however, the refractive index of all three phases was increased. The effect of change in concentration of n-Hexane was observed to be different, like the density and viscosity of top and middle phases were found to decrease with increasing concentration of n-Hexane, and both the properties were found to increase in the bottom phase. In contrast, the refractive index of the top and bottom phases decreased with increasing concentration of n-Hexane.

Traditionally, supply chains are designed through deterministic optimization models. However, these models require significant simplifications to mathematically represent the equipment design in these supply chains because of the complexity and nonlinearity these formulations bring to the problem, often leading to suboptimal solutions. This work proposes a novel methodology integrating deterministic and metaheuristic optimization techniques to address this challenge comprehensively. By combining these methods, the approach optimizes supply chain logistics and equipment design, enhancing overall performance, cost-efficiency, and sustainability. A case study on the polystyrene supply chain in Mexico demonstrates the effectiveness of our strategy, showcasing significant economic, environmental, and operational benefits. Two different schemes were used, a direct separation sequence and an indirect separation sequence. The results show that the direct separation sequence is better both economically and environmentally, due to the high energy consumption of the indirect separation. This integrated approach offers a robust mathematical tool for decision-making, setting a new standard in supply chain optimization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10019,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Research & Design","volume":"214 ","pages":"Pages 93-104"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines seven different routes for EG production, focusing on their security implications. To evaluate the security of these production routes, a framework is proposed that considers various aspects of the chemical industry chain involved in EG production. The evaluation is conducted across five dimensions, namely the raw materials, technology, economics, environment, and energy consumption. The results show that CTEG and BTEG processes have advantage of high security performance in the raw materials scenario (R-Scenario). Corresponding, CTEG-2 and BTEG-1 routes have advantage of high security performance in the technology scenario (T-Scenario). NTEG and BTEG routes should be adopted according to environment scenario (E-Scenario). In the cost scenario (C-Scenario) and energy consumption scenario (EC-Scenario), OTEG and NTEG routes have the benefit of superior security capabilities because much better economic performance and low energy consumption compared with other routes.
