However, for bioprocessing, it has been recognised for many decades that surfactant-rich fermentation media hinders mass transfer and possibly other interfacial processes due to surfactant loading on the interface. This article focuses on the roles of microbubble size and bubble bank, dispersed microbubbles that are sufficiently small to be non-buoyant, in mediating other modes of interfacial transfer via collisions with microorganisms and self-assembled clusters of microorganisms and microbubbles. These provide a more direct route of mass transfer for product gases that can be released directly to the microbubble with ~10 4 faster diffusion rates than liquid mediated gas exchange. Furthermore, secreted external metabolites with amphoteric character are absorbed along the microbubble interface, providing a faster route for liquid solute transport than diffusion through the boundary layer. These mechanisms can be exploited by the emerging fields of symbiotic or microbiome engineering to design self-assembled artificial lichen dispersed structures that can serve as a scaffold for the selected constituents. Additionally, such designed scaffolds can be tuned, along with the controllable parameters of microbubble mediated flotation separations or hot microbubble stripping for simultaneous or in situ product removal. Staging the product removal thus has benefits of decreasing the inhibitory effect of secreted external metabolites on the microorganism that produced them. Evidence supporting these hypotheses are produced from reviewing the literature. In particular, recent work in co-cultures of yeast and microalgae in the presence of a dispersed bubble bank, as well as anaerobic digestion (AD) intensification with dispersed, seeded microbubbles, is presented to support these proposed artificial lichen clusters.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135648206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The environment is polluted mainly by greenhouse gases, emissions from transportation fuels, etc. Among them, sulfur compounds emitted from the emission of transported fuels significantly impact environmental pollution. It requires the removal of these sulfur compounds from transportation fuels. Refineries use the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process to reduce these sulfur compounds from fuels. However, the HDS process requires high hydrogen pressure and temperature, making it cost-effective. An alternative to the HDS process is oxidative desulfurization via solvent extraction, which requires low-temperature operating conditions. In this regard, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are attractive for researchers to desulfurize transportation fuels via solvent extraction due to their low-cost synthesis method. In our study, DESs were synthesized using phenylacetic acid and salicylic acid as hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) and tetraethylene glycol as hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in the mole ratio of 1:2. DESs were characterized by using FTIR spectra. Physico-chemical properties of DESs, such as density, viscosity, and refractive Index, were also measured. The synthesized DESs were performed to extract organosulfur compounds from model fuel and actual diesel. An oxidation study was carried out for model fuel and diesel, followed by solvent extraction using these synthesized DESs. The extraction efficiency for PAA/TTEG(1:2) and SAA/TTEG(1:2) was achieved as 50.16% and 38.89% for model fuel at a temperature of 30oC using a solvent to feed ratio of 1.0 while for diesel, it was 38% and 37%. However, it increased to 77%, 68%, and 54%, 73%, respectively, for PAA/TTEG(1:2) and SAA/TTEG(1:2) when the feedstocks were oxidized. These results showed better extraction performance of DES PAA/TTEG(1:2) than that of SAA/TTEG(1:2) at low-temperature 30oC using extractive combined oxidative desulfurization (ECODS). Hence, the DES synthesized using SAA and TTEG in the mole ratio of 1:2 works better as an extraction solvent for removing the organic sulfur compounds from fuels at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135954181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During many manufacturing processes, continuous temperature control is an important part of product quality assurance and a matter of avoiding malfunctions or detecting them at an early stage. Measuring points can be located at different places such as in containers, pipe systems, machines, ovens or reactors, whereby different gaseous, liquid or solid media, for instance, steam, water, oil or special chemical substances may be involved. In view of these extremely complex tasks, flexibility is one of the most important requirements for measurement technology and signal processing. And this is where thermocouples, which can be adapted to almost all measuring tasks due to their simple design, become relevant. The basic design and operating principle of thermocouples are described in this paper; issues relating to calibration, traceability and measurement uncertainty are addressed. Recent developments to improve temperature measurement with thermocouples are presented. New, drift-optimised thermocouples, novel designs and alternative calibration methods are described, and their advantages over conventional thermocouples or calibration methods are specified.","PeriodicalId":14807,"journal":{"name":"Johnson Matthey Technology Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67351609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
