JITL-based concentration control for semi-batch pH-shift reactive crystallization of l-glutamic acid

Although concentration control (C-control) strategy has been shown to give effective and robust control performance for batch cooling and semi-batch antisolvent crystallizations in recent years, no research work was reported concerning the potential application of conventional C-control for the more challenging semi-batch pH-shift reactive crystallization that is common in the process industries. To this end, this paper presents detailed analysis to find out that it is not feasible to apply the C-control to semi-batch pH-shift reactive crystallization. To circumvent this problem, a variant of C-control strategy by incorporating the Just-in-Time Learning (JITL) method to cope with strong process nonlinearity inherent in the pH-shift reactive crystallization is developed in this paper. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the proposed design and a comparison with conventional optimal control is made.     

A polyamide-silica composite prepared by the sol-gel process

Summary A new kind of organic-inorganic hybrid composite was prepared by means of the sol-gel process. The polymer employed was a mixed-isomer aromatic polyamide having good solubility and thermal stability. The silica constituting the inorganic phase was produced by the hydrolysis and condensation of tetramethoxysilane. The bonding between the phases involved aminophenyl-trimethoxysilane, in which the amino group can react with the phthaloyl chloride end-capped polymer, and the methoxysilane groups undergo hydrolysis. The composition of these composites was varied by changing the linear polymer chain length and relative amount of tetramethoxysilane. The gelation time was found to range from a few minutes to several days. Thermogravimetric analyses showed that decomposition starts at approximately 450 °C. Thin films cast from materials having a relatively high silica content were opaque and rigid, but those with low silica content were flexible and transparent.     

Gas hold-up in non-newtonian solutions in a bubble column with internals

Bubble characteristics and gas hold-up were studied in a two phase (air-aqueous CMC solution) bubble column provided with helical coils and straight tubes as internals. The effects of superficial gas velocity, rheological properties, and volume fraction covered by the internals, on gas hold-up were studied. Hold-up values determined directly and by simultaneous pressure drop measurements matched well. Enhancement of gas hold-up values up to 55 per cent was achieved in systems using internals. The gas hold-up results were also compared with the values obtained from correlations reported in the literature.
