The survival of microbes relies on the availability of nutrients and dissolved oxygen (DO). The challenge is that oxygen gas does not dissolve easily in wastewater which motivates plant operators to apply excessive airflow rates to uphold oxygen in the aerobic bioreactor. In addition, the rising climate temperatures suppress DO, which threatens the survival of microbes, risking poor effluent discharge. Hence, the study analyzed the climate temperature changes and excessive airflow rate effect on microbes and DO simultaneously. Climate temperature changes and excessive airflow rate on microbes and DO were analyzed using linear regression, ANOVA, and coefficient of determination (R²). Findings disclosed that climate temperature changes produced R² (0.86) and negative linear regression (0.1076 mg/L) on DO while producing R² (0.59) and positive linear regression (0.168 mg/L) on microbes. Further findings disclosed that excessive airflow rates produced R² (0.84) and positive linear regression (0.0057 mg/L) on DO while producing R² (0.0003) and positive linear regression (0.001 mg/L) on microbes.

One of the technologies for hydrogen production is Chemical Looping Reforming (CLR), which stands out for its ability to capture and store CO₂. However, the performance of the CLR process for hydrogen production largely depends on the efficiency of energy and mass transfer between the gas and solid phases of the reaction. To increase this efficiency, fluidized bed reactors promote interaction between both phases, which depends on the velocity and the gas phase distribution system. The latter must be compatible with the design of the geometry and size of the solid oxygen carrier particles (SOC), which are mainly in the low-size Geldart B range. This study aims to examine how the geometry of three different gas phase distributors in a fluidized bed reactor affects the pressure drop and the mixing index of low-size Geldart B particles. The three geometries considered are a perforated plate with 0.8 mm diameter holes, a No 400-mesh sieve, and a porous frit with a porosity of 0.76. The study is based on the application of a CFD numerical model, experimentally validated, which employs the Eulerian multiphase method to model gas-solid interaction, the realizable <span><math><mrow><mi>k</mi><mo>−</mo><mrow><mi>ε</mi></mrow></mrow></math></span> model to describe the turbulence and the Syamlal-O'Brien model to simulate the drag phenomenon. The accuracy of the results was verified using the grid convergence index (GCI) based on Richardson's extrapolation method. The study's primary results showed that CFD simulations were consistent with the experimental data, with a &lt;10 % percentage variation. Furthermore, the pressure drop with the porous frit demonstrated a significant improvement in gas flow uniformity and operational efficiency compared to the other two plates, which produced uneven distributions that reduced efficiency. Moreover, the mixing index was higher in the porous frit, improving up to 0.9 % compared to the retaining mesh and 9.5 % compared to the perforated plate. Therefore, the main conclusion was that the porous frit is a viable method for improving the efficiency of the fluidized bed in terms of the pressure drop, mixing of micrometric-scale particles, and generating turbulence to promote heat and mass transfer between the gas and solid phases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21926,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 325-335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143725706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a rigorous methodological approach, drying, compaction, combustion and mechanical characterisation tests were carried out according to international technical standards. The results show that the mixture with 95 % biomass achieved the highest thermal efficiency (54.34 %) and an acceptable mechanical strength, with a durability of 93.76 % and a compressive strength exceeding 3650 kPa. In contrast, rice husk had a lower durability (83.53 %) and the lowest compressive strength (2100 kPa), while coconut husk had high mechanical properties with a durability of 99.88 % and a compressive strength of over 7000 kPa. These combinations not only improved the calorific value and combustion characteristics, but also reduced the use of mineral coal, thereby reducing its environmental impact. In conclusion, the integration of agro-industrial biomass with mineral coal offers a viable solution for the transition to more sustainable energy sources, contributing to both waste management and emissions reduction.
