Multiscale and Multiphase Model of Fixed Bed Reactors for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Intensification Possibilities Study
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
A multiphase fixed-bed reactor (FBR) model for Fischer Tropsch Synthesis has been developed. A high level of details is considered for description of the phenomena on the reactor and particle scale. Detailed kinetics is ...
Modeling a Catalytic Reactor for Hydrotreating of Straight-Run Gas Oil Blended with Fluid Catalytic Cracking Naphtha and Light Cycle Oil: Influence of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2014)
Reducing the sulfur content of diesel fuels may require adjusted operation of low-pressure hydrotreater units. A mathematical model for co-hydrotreating of straight run gas oil blended with fluid catalytic cracking naphtha ...
Bactericidal Efficiency of Silver Nanoparticles Deposited onto Radio Frequency Plasma Pretreated Polyester Fabrics
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2010)
The potential application of low-temperature radio frequency (RF) plasma for fiber surface activation in order to enhance the binding efficiency of colloidal silver nanoparticles onto the polyester fabrics and improve the ...
Effects of Catalyst Activity, Particle Size and Shape, and Process Conditions on Catalyst Effectiveness and Methane Selectivity for Fischer-Tropsch Reaction: A Modeling Study
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
We investigate effects of catalyst activity, catalyst particle shape (sphere, slab, and hollow cylinder), size (i.e., diffusion length), catalyst distribution (uniform vs eggshell type distribution for a spherical particle), ...
Solids residence time distribution in gas-flowing solids-fixed bed contactors
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2005)
Flowing solids residence time distribution in gas-flowing solids-fixed bed contactors was investigated using a tracer technique with a step signal as input. Particles of different color (all other properties being the same) ...
Fast estimation of quasi-steady states of cyclic nonlinear processes based on higher-order frequency response functions. Case study: Cyclic operation of an adsorption column
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2006)
A new method for fast approximate calculation of quasi-steady states of cyclic processes is presented. The method is based on the concept of higher-order frequency response functions. The system input is represented in the ...
Solids holdup and pressure drop in gas-flowing solids-fixed bed contactors
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2003)
Fundamentally based model for pressure drop in gas-flowing solids-fixed bed contactors is presented, together with a phenomenological semiempirical model for prediction of dynamic holdup. These simple models do not require ...
Modeling and predictions of solids dynamic holdup in gas-flowing solids-fixed bed contactors
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2004)
A model based on first principles and free of any semiempirical parameters is presented for trickling solids holdup in gas-flowing solids-fixed bed contactors. A small double-cone cavity is used to characterize the voids ...
Surface Characterization of Iron-Modified Sepiolite by Inverse Gas Chromatography
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2011)
Inverse gas chromatography at infinite and finite surface coverages was applied to evaluate the surface properties of an iron-modified sepiolite sorbent, Fe-sepiolite. The adsorptions of different nonpolar and polar probes ...
Comparative Study of Batch and Fluidized Bed Bioreactors for Lipase-Catalyzed Ethyl Cinnamate Synthesis
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2013)
Ethyl cinnamate, an ester known as flavor and fragrance compound, has been synthesized using two immobilized bioreactor systems, batch and fluidized bed bioreactors. The enzyme used for this synthesis is a commercial lipase ...
