The shortage of fresh water can be mitigated by seawater desalination. Reverse osmosis (RO) is currently the most popular desalination technology around the world. Despite its various advantages, fouling has been one of its major limitations of RO. Membrane fouling can be divided into four categories: colloidal fouling, inorganic fouling, organic fouling, and biofouling. Precipitation of inorganic salts of small solubility, among which CaCO₃, CaSO₄, BaSO₄, and SiO₂ are the most common ones, are the cause of inorganic fouling, which is commonly referred to as scaling. Pretreatment technologies for prevention or mitigation of scaling in the RO process can be classified as conventional pretreatment technologies, which include water softening and scale inhibitors, and membrane-based pretreatment technologies which include nanofiltration, forward osmosis, and membrane surface modification.</p>","PeriodicalId":9400,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":"103 2","pages":"503-523"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141884318","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}

Second, this paper proposes a new double predictive PI control strategy (DPPI), where the DPPI controller mainly consists of a predictive PI controller and a predictor with an integral link. Again, for the integral predictor in the DPPI control strategy, two new regulation parameters are introduced, which can effectively regulate the control performance and robustness of the control system, improve the degree of freedom of the controller design, and give the principles for the adjustment of the DPPI controller parameters.

This is a time-consuming methodology requiring at least 24 h to produce a set of results, which can be a bottleneck for productivity in novel materials development. An enzyme-based method was shown to be a satisfactory and much more rapid surrogate test for this application. A β-galactosidase solution was applied to copper, silver, and zinc-based antimicrobial surfaces for up to 1 h, and then the rate of colour development at 578 nm was monitored for a few minutes after addition of the chromogenic enzyme substrate chlorophenol red-β-d-galactopyranoside (CPRG). Highly active antimicrobial surfaces were detected by a lack of colour development, due to enzyme inhibition by the metals. The enzymatic reaction rates were quantified and compared, demonstrating that the copper sample showed the greatest inhibition effect followed by the silver and zinc samples. The antimicrobial activity was quantified using bacteria and the plate count method, and the results correlated well with this enzyme assay, demonstrating that the metals-based antimicrobial activities of both hard and soft (textile) surfaces could be quickly assessed with this enzyme-based methodology.</p>","PeriodicalId":9400,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":"103 3","pages":"1276-1284"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cjce.25436","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141872869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In industrial settings, the MSMPR system is subject to lot of process uncertainty which, if ignored, might result in poor product quality. In this work, the process uncertainty involved in MSMPR is targeted during the process optimization stage to find robust optimal operating conditions. The temperature and the residence time inside each cascaded MSMPR unit, altogether six, are considered as uncertain parameters. A sampled set of uncertain data points for such six different uncertain parameters are clustered using a novel support vector clustering (SVC) based algorithm. The uniqueness of this algorithm lies in its ability to fine-tune the hyper-parameters of SVC while intelligently clustering the uncertain data points into optimal number of clusters. Such identified clusters are helpful to generate more samples from the intended regions rather than generating them randomly to avoid proposing conservative solutions.

While solution deposition of semiconducting materials is promising for developing printed electronics, the environmental footprint of the materials and related devices needs to be considered to achieve sustainable manufacturing. Towards the development of greener printed electronics, this work investigates the utilization of a non-toxic, environmentally-friendly solvent, namely branched polyethylene (BPE), to formulate semiconducting inks. Focusing on a diketopyrrolopyrrole-based (DPP) semiconducting polymer, shellac as dielectric, and BPE as the solvent, solutions were prepared in different concentrations and their rheological properties were characterized. Then, printing on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates using two different techniques was performed to fabricate organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Both printing techniques yielded OFETs with good performance and device characteristics, averaging approximately 10⁻² and 10⁻⁴ cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹, respectively, for slot-die coating and direct-ink writing deposition. Notably, despite some difference in threshold voltages, OFETs produced via slot-die coating and direct-ink writing showed comparable charge mobilities to previously reported OFETs prepared from similar materials, particularly those prepared on silicon dioxide wafers. Overall, this work confirms the suitability of BPE to formulate semiconducting inks to develop printed electronics in a greener manner.
