Ensuring efficient operations, minimizing emissions, and enhancing distribution reliability are essential for sustainable supply chain performance. This work examines the challenges posed by uncertainty and disruption in the pharmaceutical supply chain, utilizing stochastic optimization and downside risk to formulate mitigation strategies. Specifically, the study compares the solutions of risk-neutral and risk-averse objectives across three key areas: cost, environmental impact, and service level. Solutions from each approach highlight trade-offs: the risk-neutral solution offers better objective values, while the risk-averse one ensures robustness across scenarios but at a higher cost. The multiobjective analysis demonstrates that considering risk is advantageous, as the benefits of robustness outweigh the associated costs. Overall, the results highlight that risk-averse optimization offers strategic advantages for developing robust and sustainable pharmaceutical supply chains in the face of uncertainty and disruption.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435677","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 proposed framework consists of three components: an efficient superstructure representation, a novel mathematical formulation, and the associated solution algorithm, encompassing a broad range of alternatives. The mathematical model is developed using conditional statements to activate specific sets of equations, effectively addressing existing zero-flow issues. The synthesis problem is formulated as a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming problem, which is optimized using our previously developed Feasible Path-Based Branch and Bound method, coupled with an improved Sequential Quadratic Programming algorithm. The computational studies demonstrate that the proposed optimization framework successfully solves complex benchmark problems for separating zeotropic multicomponent mixtures within reasonable computational time with good convergence performance from easily selected starting points. The optimal configuration generated leads to a reduction in total annualized cost ranging from 3.5% to 45%.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435679","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}

In this article, the large-eddy simulation (LES) model and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach were used to simulate CSE absorption by a fluidized bed of silicon carbide (SiC). Drag-forced modification was developed based on the Clark sub-grid model for fluidized beds. The result of our two-dimensional simulation agreed well with Tregambi et al. experimental data. Our simulation showed that the fluidized bed reduced the surface temperature by convective energy transfer, which is only on the surface for the incipiently fluidized bed and in the entire fluidized bed for the bubbling fluidized bed due to the mixing created by bubbles. The lower temperature on the surface significantly decreased the radiative energy loss from the surface to the environment.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"176 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435781","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}

Our method significantly reduces both environmental impact and reagent expenses, while operating under mild conditions. This technique is ideal for practical applications given its ultra-fast leaching (5 min) and room temperature (35°C) reaction conditions, leading to an unprecedented 11-fold enhancement in the reaction kinetics relative to aqua regia. Notably, more than 99.3% of Au from e-waste can be selectively dissolved while excluding non-target elements like Cu. Compared with conventional dissolution-extraction processes, our method facilitates the process into a single step. Additionally, the triiodide ILs can be reused for up to six cycles, and have an impressive economic output–input ratio of 1969%, which demonstrates promising technoeconomic feasibility. This approach provides a valuable strategy for profit-efficient management of e-waste, promoting a circular economy.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143427402","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 material has been demonstrated to markedly enhance the utilization rate of photons while simultaneously optimizing the charge efficiency of photogenerated electrons. The carbon-rich PHI showed a higher CO₂ reduction efficiency than the PHI, with a CO generation rate reaching 46.6 μmol g<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>.

The results obtained show that the growing process of CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate in a restricted space can be divided into two consecutive stages, hydrate covering at gas–liquid interface and hydrate spreading on solid surface. It is indicated that hydrate spreads on solid surface by continuous formation at the advancing frontier, suggesting that water for hydrate formation might be delivered through both lateral and vertical transmitting path, and lateral driving force for water migration might play a dominant role. Qualitative and quantitative analyses show that solid surface properties play a significant role on hydrate spreading process, probably affecting both the interfacial interaction of hydrates with solid surface and water moving process near solid surfaces.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143401680","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 effects of catalyst porosity and pore diameters on the reactor size, precious metal loading, and the profile of temperature and heat flux were systematically evaluated. An improved reactor design was further proposed by applying the segmented reactor packed with two‐stage egg‐shell‐type low‐temperature catalysts, which decreased the precious metal usage by 61.6% and the temperature drop by 42.9 K.

Results indicated that IL had a promoting effect on AEEA, but not on DEEA. The initial desorption rate of AEEA can be improved by up to 36.4%.

Here, we report a homointerface strategy for fabricating high-performance MMMs by the modulated synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 fillers with amidoxime-modified polymer of intrinsic microporosity (AOPIM-1) oligomers, followed by being encapsulated within the long-chain AOPIM-1 polymer matrix. These AOPIM-1 oligomers serve a dual role: precisely modulating the crystal growth of ZIF-8 and establishing intimate homointerfaces between polymer-filler due to their intervening linker function. This strategy ensures excellent filler dispersion while preserving their interconnected network structure within MMMs, offering abundant percolating nanochannels.
