The present study aims to study the non-ideal behaviour of a plug flow bioreactor (PFBR) under non-reactive conditions for a biological system. Different physical parameters of this study have been incorporated from the batch growth study of Lactobacillus sp. The growth of bacteria culture was simulated using a PVA solution to conduct residence time distribution (RTD) experiments in pulse and step mode. Different parameters of the dispersion model were measured, and the non-zero variance indicated that dispersion always occurred along the path of reaction which led to turbulence and diffusion. The Peclet No was non-infinite; thus, PFBR always deviates from the ideal behaviour of the plug flow reactor. During the velocity distribution study, it had also been established that the Peclet number was decreased with the increase of Reynolds Number at a certain medium viscosity. Moreover, the non-ideality of PFBR further increased due to the change of physical properties of the medium. Here, a polynomial relation had been established between the Peclet number and medium viscosity. Therefore, the current study might be a value addition towards the designing of the plug flow bioreactor.

Therefore, such waste streams need to be treated before directly discharging. This study explores the nano-filtration (NF) approach for dye effluent remediation. Congo red dye is the widely used chemical that imparts red colour to fabric and is highly toxic when emitted in a very minute amount of 3 mg/L. Therefore, a polyamide-based NF HFT-150 was implemented for the removal of Congo red dye (CD), noting the influences of feed pressure (1–12 kg/cm2) and inlet concentration (10–100 mg/L) used for examining the permeate flux in the process. It was reported that 99.7% removal was obtained at a feed pressure of 6 kg/cm2 with permeate flux of 7.9 mL/min cm2 for an initial concentration of 10 mg/L. Moreover, the samples from a small scale textile industry from Pali, Rajasthan, were collected, and the physicochemical properties were evaluated, revealing the total dissolved salts of 8560 mg/L. The collected sample was treated by NF HFT-150, indicating that potentially strong discolouration was reported at 6 kg/cm2 feed pressure. Therefore, it can be suggested that nano-filtration could be efficiently implemented for textile effluent treatment. Highlights A polyamide-based NF HFT-150 was implemented for the removal of Congo red dye. A strong efficacy of 99.7% was obtained at a feed pressure of 6 kg/cm2. Wastewater samples from a small-scale textile industry from Pali, Jaipur Rajasthan, were collected. NF HFT-150 membrane resulted in strong discolouration of wastewater sample at 6 kg/cm2 feed pressure.

Methanol was used as the extracting solvent in a fixed ratio with dry spirulina powder. Saponification and hydrolysis using KOH, water and ethyl acetate/dichloromethane were done for isolating lutein and zeaxanthin from its ester. Ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry was used for analysing the absorbance of the lutein sample at a wavelength of 445 nm. Using the Response Surface Methodology, trials of various combinations are run for finding optimum conditions of saponification. The major variables were reaction time, reaction temperature and concentration of KOH. Temperature range of 45–75°C, the reaction time of 45–70 min and KOH concentrations ranging from 2% to 10% are observed as the optimum range. The sample is filtered using a PVDF membrane and stored in acetone or isopropyl alcohol.

The extractions were carried out at the absolute pressures of 760, 610, 460, and 310 Torr, for 1 h. The chemical composition of the essential oil was determined by GC/MS and GC-FID. According to the results, the reduction of pressure reduced essential oil yield, from 0.6% v/w at 760 Torr to 0.3% v/w at 310 Torr. Regarding the chemical composition, there was an increase in methyl N-methylanthranilate content with the reduction of system pressure, from 88.3 wt.% at 760 Torr to 97.6 wt.% at 310 Torr. However, it was observed a reduction in extraction efficiency due to the lower steam temperature. On the other hand, lower temperatures may imply a smaller degradation of thermolabile compounds. This process may be an alternative to other deterpenation techniques because it couples in a sole stage the extraction and purification/separation of essential oil components.

Based on simple mass and heat balance analysis, SMWI having primary and secondary chambers with a volume of 1 and 0.754 m3 is designed. The proposed SMWI is evaluated for its environmental impact by performing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and compared with an SMWI equipped with an Electric Heater (SMWI–EH). The total primary energy required for the construction of SMWI is 48285.56 MJ. It is found that the damage caused by the operation of PRBLPG in SMWI is lesser when compared to that of an Electric Heater (EH). In SMWI–PRB, LPG consumption contributed to about 17488.27 kg CO2−eq in the global warming category, whereas in the case of SMWI–EH, electricity consumption contributed to about 243766.11 kg CO2−eq. The operation of SMWI–PRB showed a reduction of about 54% in the resource utilisation category in comparison with SMWI–EH. The results obtained from the LCA study indicated that PRBLPG is a better option as an auxiliary heating device in SMWI than EH due to its environmental superiority.

It’s a less dense floating solid mass that primarily consists of triglycerides and fatty acids, which are important constituents for fuel. The present study aims to produce biodiesel using dairy waste scum by a transesterification process using NaOH/KOH catalysts. The present work identifies the better catalyst between two alkaline catalysts NaOH and KOH, using low-cost methodologies. The preliminary confirmation characteristics, such as density, calorific value, Kinematic Viscosity, Specific Gravity, Flash Point, and Fire Point will support the formation of synthesised biodiesel via the proposed methodology. The experimental results lead to a yield of 89.02% of biodiesel using NaOH catalyst with optimised process parameters of the temperature of 55°C, the reaction time of 120 min, and catalyst loading of 1 wt./wt.%. Finally, biodiesel was tested for emission and combustion characteristics in a CI engine. To optimise the process parameters, the response surface methodology (RSM) along with Bootstrap estimation has been performed using MINITAB19. Furthermore, the experimental and predicted yields obtained from ANOVA were reported.","PeriodicalId":13430,"journal":{"name":"Indian Chemical Engineer","volume":"65 1","pages":"25 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42332682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
