The evaluation of these machines involved the combination of variables such as temperature, flow rate, specific heat and operational efficiency to guarantee the correct adjustment of the physicochemical properties of the fluids and materials of the process. Highlighted in this study, the efficiency of the absorption column was determined at 25% and a diagram correlating ethylene glycol humidity, dew point of the drying air and efficiency of humidity removal from the PET flake dryer was constructed to define what is the most appropriate configuration for operation. By the graph curves, it was found that the humidity of ethylene glycol for absorption should be inferior to 1% (w/w) to guarantee a dew point < -27?C at 175?C of the drying air introduced in the dryer, that would finally promote a removal with efficiency superior to 91% of the PET flake humidity for values < 0.005% (w/w).","PeriodicalId":9716,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Industry & Chemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68462482","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}

These results showed that citric acid added to the inlet resulted in a peak concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the back half of the venturi throat, and some ferric oxide (Fe2O3) underwent a secondary reaction to afford ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4). As the addition of citric acid increased, the flow of Fe2O3 at the outlet first increased and then decreased, while the flow rate of Fe3O4 first decreased and then increased.

As microwave power increase, drying rate increased and drying time decreased. Besides, the most suitable model to describe microwave drying curves of lemon slice was obtained as Page model. The values of Deff of the dried lemon slices were calculated between 3.61x10-9 and 3.41x10-8 m2s-1. The Ea of drying of the lemon slices were calculated by using Deff and rate constant obtained from the Page model as 4.39 Wg-1 and 6.04 Wg-1, respectively.

The quality of mead can be improved by adding fruit juices, including chokeberry juice. This paper aims to assess the effects that adding different quantities of chokeberry juice, with the variation of 3 amounts of inoculated yeast, has on the fermentation course, physicochemical, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of mead. The parameters analyzed are the dry matter content, pH value, and content of volatile acids, ethanol and methanol, total phenols and flavonoids, FRAP, DPPH and ABTS tests and antimicrobial properties. The results obtained in this paper show that adding chokeberry juice improves antioxidant properties of the final product and affects positively the course of mead fermentation, i.e. it has led to an increase of the maximum concentration of ethanol (Pm). In terms of the chemical composition of mead, there is no significant difference, except in the obtained ethanol content, which is the highest in samples with 10% of added chokeberry juice. Control sample showed the best antimicrobial activity, while sample with 5 % of added chokeberry juice showed the weakest effect.

The dried algae powder to oil yield and significant fuel properties of viscosity, density, cetane number, calorific value, flash point, pour and cloud points are investigated for B10 to B100 blends. The results of solvent oil extraction show that at a 1:2 (algae powder to solvent) ratio and 65oC, algae oil yield was observed as 22.66%. Furthermore, Box-Behnken assisted response surface optimization technique was implemented. From the 29 random experiments, 96.24% spirogyra algae oil biodiesel (SAOBD) yield was achieved under the optimum conditions of 50oC, 180 minutes, the molar ratio of 9:1 and catalyst concentration of 0.5 wt%. The fatty acid composition (FAC) by gas chromatography reveals that 73.95 wt% saturated FAC was observed in SAOBD. The significant fuel properties are measured by following ASTM-D6751 standards and 40% SAOBD in diesel fuel could possibly be an optimum blend ratio for engine experimentation. Finally, regression equations with high correlation coefficients (R2) were developed for the fuel properties to predict the various blend ratios.","PeriodicalId":9716,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Industry & Chemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68462871","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 test platform was made and operated with a bubble column containing at its upper end an electrical solenoid valve engaged via at least two timers, and connected to the air loop reactor consisting of an outer rectangular tube and an internal draft tube by one-way valve, where the granular activated carbon is put as an adsorbent material in the annulus region between the inner and outer tube.

PLTs can usually be stored for up to 5 days prior to transfusion. Instantaneous production of PLTs from isolated and stored MKs is crucial for the patient?s health. Thanks to microfluidic platforms, PLTs can be produced instantaneously from MKs. Herein, we have computationally studied fluid dynamics in the microchannels with slit structures and different inlet geometries. Analysis of the flow dynamics was performed by the commercial analysis software. The effects of flow rates and the angle between the inlet channels on the MKs trapping were investigated. The optimization of the angle between inlet channels and flow rates of main and pressure flows was done with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) by counting the trapped MKs. The optimum conditions lead to the percentage of trapped MKs were 100 with a relative deviation of <1%.

The reduction effect was maximum when graphite was used as the reducing agent, and a maximum mass of P was obtained at 1250 ?C. The vacuum experiment results showed that the reduction and volatilization ratios of phosphate rock increased with temperature for different carbon sources. Maximum reduction ratio was obtained using graphite in the temperature range 1250-1300?C. The reduction effect of pulverized coal was optimal at 1350?C, when SiO2, Al2O3, and MgO in the pulverized coal ash were exposed to form low-melting eutectics with CaO due to the increased degree of reaction, and the heat and mass transfer rates were increased.
