Effect of H2O2 addition mode on enzymatic removal of phenol from wastewater in the presence of polyethylene glycol

The effect of batch and semi-batch additions of the stoichiometric amount of H₂O₂ on enzymatic removal of phenol has been studied over the phenol concentration range of 1-10 mmol/L. It is found that the ratio between the maximum H₂O₂ concentration during the reaction and the initial horseradish peroxidase concentration ((H₂O₂)_max/(HRP)_o) controls the rate of phenol removal by horseradish peroxidase in the presence of the additive, polyethylene glycol. An optimum range of this ratio is determined to be between 10 and 25 μmol/U. Empirical models are proposed to predict the values of (H₂O₂)_max/(HRP)_o required to treat given phenol concentrations under different modes for adding H₂O₂.

Modeling the continuous melt transesterification of bisphenol-A and diphenyl carbonate in a continuous stirred tank reactor

A model of continuous melt transesterification of bisphenol-A and diphenyl carbonate in a continuous stirred tank reactor is developed using phase equilibria assumption and the method of molecular weight moments. The model equations can be simplified into a polynomial system that has 17 equations and 17 unknowns. Solution of the polynomial system gives out almost every aspects of the continuous transesterification process. Molecular weight and polydispersity index, end group ratio of hydroxyl to phenyl carbonate, contents of molecular species, and lost diphenyl carbonate fractions are studied in different operation parameters.     

Polymerization Kinetics of Fischer‐Tropsch Reaction on Iron Based Catalysts and Product Grade Optimization

The polymerization kinetics of Fischer‐Tropsch reactions on a K‐promoted Fe catalyst was studied. To represent the product distribution, a kinetic model was developed based on alkyl and alkenyl mechanisms for hydrocarbon chain propagation, which were assumed to occur simultaneously in the Fischer‐Tropsch synthesis. The conclusion was drawn that superimposed Anderson‐Schulz‐Flory (ASF) distributions with different chain growth probabilities, on iron catalysts, can be the result of different chain growth mechanisms. The polymerization mechanism was used to obtain the product distribution for several conditions, and the optimum conditions for the production of transportation fuels were found.     

Optimization of anodic oxidation and Cu–Cr oxide catalyst preparation on structured aluminum plates processed by electro discharge machining

This paper describes the optimization of three processes applied in fabrication of a microstructured reactor for complete oxidation of volatile organic compounds. The first process involves the optimization of the electro discharge machining (EDM) method to produce a set of microchannels with a high length to diameter ratio of 100, with a standard deviation from the average diameter below 0.2%, and with a surface roughness not higher than 2.0 μm. To satisfy these criteria, fabrication of microchannels must be carried out with two machining passes in the Al51st alloy. Then, the effect of several parameters on the anodization current efficiency with respect to oxide formation was studied. The best process conditions to get a 30 μm porous alumina layer in a 0.4 M oxalic acid electrolyte, were found to be a temperature of 1 °C, an anodic current density of 5 mA/cm², and 23 h oxidation time. At last, the resulting coatings were impregnated with an aqueous solution of copper dichromate followed by drying and calcination at 450 °C to produce active catalysts. The effect of a copper dichromate concentration, number of impregnation cycles (1 or 2), and different after-treatments on catalytic activity and stability in complete oxidation of n-butane were studied. The catalytic activity of the obtained coatings is superior to that of alumina supported pelletized catalysts even at much lower loadings of active metals.     

Syngas production via combined oxy-CO2 reforming of methane over Gd2O3-modified Ni/SiO2 catalysts in a fluidized-bed reactor

In this research, Ni/SiO₂ catalyst was modified with different amount of Gd₂O₃ and characterized with temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂ (CO₂-TPD) and NH₃ (NH₃-TPD), temperature-programmed reduction with H₂ (H₂-TPR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that Gd₂O₃-modified Ni/SiO₂ catalysts possessed higher CO₂ adsorption and activation ability due to the formation of surface carbonate species. H₂-TPR and XRD characterizations found that the strong interaction among nickel, Gd₂O₃ and SiO₂ took place, which improved the dispersion of Ni. Gd₂O₃-modified Ni/SiO₂ catalysts exhibited higher activity and stability for the combined oxy-CO₂ reforming of methane in fluidized-bed reactor. The H₂/CO ratio in produced syngas could be controlled via controlling reaction temperature and CO₂/O₂ ratio in feed.     

Ring-opening polymerization of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane initiated by a superbase: Kinetics and rheology

The use of phosphazene bases in combination with water was proved to be efficient in order to obtain polysiloxane polymers from cyclic monomers. Only a few minutes are necessary to obtain polymer chains with a monomer concentration of 5% at the equilibrium. For that purpose the space which is between a rheometer's plates is the most convenient device to monitor this reaction concerning a chemical and viscoelastic point of view. Therefore, here is proposed a chemo-rheology study that leads in the same time to the chemical kinetics equations and to the variation of the viscoelastic functions during the polymerization. In this way different catalysts are used and their efficiencies are compared as a function of their “basicity tank”. Whatever the experimental conditions involved are, viscosity versus polymer concentration or conversion shows a master curve for catalysts suitable to be used under extrusive conditions. Thus, only a few experiments are needed in order to develop a model which can be used to foresee the variation of the viscosity during the reaction.
