Photocatalysis process using semiconductor materials is a promising route for converting such pollutants into safer compounds. Although α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> demonstrates notable photocatalytic activity, its limited adsorption capability has been restricting its performance. Activated Spent Bleaching Earth (ASBE), derived from pyrolyzed palm oil refining waste, act as an effective adsorbent, creating opportunities for the synergistic composite systems. This work examines the influence of hydrothermal synthesis temperature on the performance of α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/ASBE composites for RhB photodegradation. ASBE was produced by pyrolysis, while α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles had synthesized hydrothermally and subsequently combined to form the composites. The materials were characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) Spectrometer, Scanning Electron Microscope – Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer (SEM-EDXS), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) instrument, and Ultra Violet-Visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy. Increasing the hydrothermal temperature has led to enhance the specific surface area, improved RhB degradation efficiency, and decreased the band-gap energy. Pure ASBE exhibited 92.2% removal of RhB via adsorption, while α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/ASBE composites synthesized at 180°C, 200°C, and 220°C has achieved RhB degradation efficiencies of 72.2%, 74.5%, and 78.5%, respectively, under 5 h of visible irradiation.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to investigate the transport behavior in OARO systems involving multiple solute species (NaCl and MgCl<sub>2</sub>). Water flux (<em>J</em><sub><em>W</em></sub>) decreased at high bulk osmotic pressure due to intensified dilutive internal concentration polarization (DICP), whereas concentrative external concentration polarization (CECP) dominated at low bulk osmotic pressure.

In this work, effects of swirler geometries on the characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase swirling flows inside a horizontal tube (inner diameter of 25 mm) were investigated by experiment and machine learning. Results showed that four typical swirling flow patterns are observed, and characteristics of time-varying planar void fraction signals and average pressure drop are influenced by vane-typed swirler structures, including vane number, vane angle and central column diameter. To model the two-phase swirling-flow pressure drop induced by different swirler geometries within the investigated parameter range, a Neural network model based on Random Search optimization was developed. For the experimental dataset comprising 530 data points, the model achieved an <em>RMSE</em> of 0.2638, an <em>MAE</em> of 0.1788, and an <em>R</em><sup><em>2</em></sup> of 0.9805, indicating good predictive performance within the investigated parameter range.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10019,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Research & Design","volume":"232 ","pages":"Pages 782-796"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148636951","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}
