The unconventional syngas used in this study contain 25% H2, 25% CO, 20% CH4, 20% CO2 and 10% N2, representing biomass‐derived syngas cultivated from an industrial wood chips pyrolysis plant. The catalysts were synthesised using co‐precipitation technique and tested for methanol synthesis in a fixed‐bed reactor. The activity test of the catalysts showed that the addition of CeO2 or ZrO2 to the CZA catalyst improved the methanol yield, albeit with lower selectivity, whereas adding MnO2 enhanced methanol selectivity but decreased the methanol yield. ZrO2‐promoted catalyst showed the best‐improved activity and stability. The calcined and spent catalysts were characterised using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption, N2O chemisorption, hydrogen temperature‐programmed reduction (H2‐TPR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The characterisation results indicate that the catalytic activity is dependent on Cu dispersion, Cu‐active surface area, the catalyst reducibility, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area and the Cu0/Cu+ ratio. In contrast, catalyst stability was related to the proportion of Cu+ among all surface Cu species.","PeriodicalId":49237,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141649670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, an examination of thiophene adsorption from commercial fuels, specifically kerosene, was conducted. Experimental data were used to calculate correlated parameters of adsorption isotherms, kinetic models, and the Fisher factor. The pseudo‐second‐order model demonstrated the best fit to the experimental data. Notably, the adsorbent consisting of 10% Cu+ supported on acid‐washed activated carbon (A1CN10) exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for TCs, achieving removal percentages of 78%, 96%, and 100% for T, BT, and DBT, respectively. Various methods were employed to investigate the physicochemical properties of the adsorbents, including N2 adsorption–desorption surface analysis (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

The effects of stirring speed and the pressurized‐atmospheric two‐stage reaction on the structure and composition of the products are investigated. Thermal stability analysis using thermogravimetric (TG) test, observation of mesophase content and optical structure through polarized light microscopy, characterization of material composition and molecular structure via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum (1H NMR), as well as comparison of crystal structures using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) are performed. The experimental results demonstrate that an increase in the stirring rate leads to a more homogeneous molecular distribution within the reaction system, thereby facilitating molecular contact polycondensation and promoting mesophase growth and development. Furthermore, the pressurized‐atmospheric two‐stage reaction process also contributes to mesophase development, resulting in products with more cycloalkane structure, improved thermal stability, and optimized optical structure transitioning from mosaic to flow or even domain.","PeriodicalId":49237,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141373853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reaction time will significantly change the morphology, affecting the composite's ability to absorb selective gas and, in turn, affect the gas selectivity. The present work identifies the reaction time for in situ growth of ZIF‐8 nanoparticles on GO sheets. The composite was synthesized at different reaction times of 2, 4, 6, and 8 h and incorporated into the PSF matrix. The fabricated membranes were characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM, and XRD. The novel synthesized reaction time (6 h) was identified for better enhancement of CO2/CH4 separation. For pure gas studies, the results investigated that the CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity were increased by 223% and 98%, respectively, compared with plain PSF membrane. In mixed gas (CO2/CH4) studies, the CO2 permeability and CO2CH4 selectivity were increased by 349% and 854%, respectively, compared with plain PSF membrane.

The adsorption capacities for 4‐HBA, 4‐HIPA, and SA were determined to be 56.34, 55.02, and 60.34 mg/g, respectively. Furthermore, it was observed that after six regeneration cycles, the adsorption capacity for 4‐HBA remained nearly unchanged, whereas those for 4‐HIPA and SA decreased by 5.6% and 2.6%, respectively. FTIR and XPS analyses revealed that all three compounds were adsorbed at the same dominant Zr cluster site on UiO‐66, primarily through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction.

In this study, three coal samples, including the original low-rank coal sample and two coal samples (C1 and C2) from the gravity separation process of the original coal sample, were gasified in a multi-stage gasification process at the gasification temperature of 900°C and the steam-to-carbon (S/C) ratio of 1.00 and 1.25. The separation process led to a significant improvement in the quality of coal samples. This improvement is particularly characterized by a higher carbon and volatile fractions and a lower ash content compared with the original coal. This could be the main reason for the higher gasification performance in the case of the experiment of C1 and C2 coal samples. The volume of syngas obtained from gasification experiments of C1 and C2 samples increased between 1.3 and 1.5 times that of the original coal sample. At all S/C ratios and 900°C, the gasification experiment of the C2 sample produced the highest produced gas yield followed by the gasification experiment of the C1 sample. From the chemical point of view, the produced gas had an H2/CO ratio close to the desired ratio of 2.00, which is suitable for chemical synthesis processes. In the case of C1 sample experiments, the H2/CO ratios were 2.11 and 2.18 at S/C ratios of 1.00 and 1.25, respectively.

Hence, a fuzzy expert system is developed to troubleshoot the degumming and bleaching process, for identifying failures and suggesting actions. However, developing the knowledge base and inference engine in the fuzzy expert system for troubleshooting the degumming and bleaching process is challenging because the data in the actual palm oil refining process are poorly documented and must be obtained from various sources, including field observation, document analysis, and interviews, and need to be analyzed using thematic analysis. The results from the thematic analysis were represented as input and output variables of the fuzzy expert system. The developed fuzzy expert system is tested and validated against different data sets and industrial data to identify faults and suggest necessary actions. To evaluate the robustness of the troubleshooting system, the membership functions of the fuzzy expert system are adjusted based on the distributed control system (DCS). The results show that the troubleshooting system can effectively diagnose potential faults and provide necessary actions and can serve as a useful guidance for failures in the degumming and bleaching process.","PeriodicalId":49237,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140826989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piperazine (PIP, for negatively charged membrane) or polyethyleneimine (PEI, for positively charged membrane) aqueous monomer was reacted with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) in n-hexane solution via interfacial polymerization (IP) on the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane substrate to form the TFC membrane.

Boron removal performance was evaluated using a 10 ppm aqueous boron solution. The PES substrate gave the highest water flux, which was 307.80 LMH. For the TFC membrane, TFC–PIP had a higher water flux at 113.71 LMH than TFC–PEI. Furthermore, the TFN membranes containing the PEI monomer had a lower water flux than those containing the PIP monomer. These findings highlight the potential of TFN membranes, particularly those incorporating nanoparticles, for effective boron removal.
