An anaerobic continuously stirred tank reactor was gradually loaded with synthetic substrate, and the first inhibition was observed on day 110 when the SBP decreased by 20 %. Another significant change was observed on day 135, when SBP dropped to 122 L kg–1 COD. At the same time, a gas washing bottle with hydrochloric acid was connected to capture ammonia from recirculated biogas. With this arrangement, a slight increase in the SBP production to 150 L kg–1 COD was observed. On day 164, the gas washing bottle was changed to two gas washing bottles with fritted discs. After ten days, a significant increase in SBP, to 320 L kg–1 COD, was observed, indicating that the system began to overcome inhibition. From these results, it can be concluded that this method is effective in mitigating ammonia inhibition.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48908180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work proposes a new method for simultaneous SO2 removal by MgO, and production of magnesium sulfate in a packed bed reactor for which breakthrough curves have been obtained. Furthermore, the effect of important operating parameters, including temperature, SO2 concentration, and gaseous flow rate was investigated. Experiments showed that increasing the temperature improved the breakthrough lifetime, but the increase in concentration and flow rate reduced the lifetime. The experimental results were predicted successfully by applying the Random Pore Model (RPM). Finally, the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) that is a technique for multi-objective optimization, was employed to determine the best operating parameters for SO2 removal by magnesium oxide in the packed bed reactor.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45476169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Caking occurs as a result of interaction at the contact points formed between solid fertilizer particles. These interactions, also called contact mechanisms, are activated by a number of properties that fertilizers have and by environmental conditions. Prevention of caking mechanism is a substantial research subject that directly affects the quality and financial value of the final product and ensures its applicability. Fertilizer in good quality can provide ease in agricultural applications, and directly affect plant nutrition and crop productivity. At this point, there are various promoter practices for obtaining the free-flowing property in fertilizers that can be maintained or suggested during or after production, both in industry and in R&D studies. In order to develop new process control points in the industry, it is important to understand the factors that cause caking and the mechanism of physicochemical interactions that progress depending on these factors. In addition, it is essential to improve the storage conditions of the fertilizer, as well as to maintain its quality until end-use. This paper focuses on the caking behavior of fertilizers in detail, giving brief information about the prevention of caking and various types of anticaking agents.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"34 1","pages":"209-222"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67064494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of the low mutual solubility of cyclohexene and water, the reaction is limited by chemical equilibrium, which has the disadvantage of low conversion of cyclohexene. In this paper, the hydration reaction of cyclohexene catalysed by A-36 cation exchange resin catalyst was analysed by Aspen Plus V8.6 simulation software in the presence of isophorone as cosolvent. The process model of synthesising cyclohexanol by catalytic distillation was verified by process experiments. The simulation experiments were carried out using the process model, and suitable operating conditions of the catalytic distillation column were obtained. These are: ketene feed ratio 1.5, alkene/water ratio 0.5, distillation stage trays 5, reaction stage trays 12, stripping stage trays 6, cyclohexene feed at the 18th tray, water and isophorone feed at the 5th tray, reflux ratio 3, feed ratio (D/F) 0.25.

Among all the fed-batch cultivation strategies, the highest PHB accumulation and productivity of 13.12 g L–1 and 0.27 g L–1 h–1, respectively, was achieved in fed-batch bioreactor cultivation where a pseudo steady state with respect to glycerol was maintained.","PeriodicalId":9765,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"35 1","pages":"65-80"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67064426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
