Viability study of different reverse osmosis membranes for application in the tertiary treatment of wastes from the tanning industry

The tanning industry uses large quantities of water and produces a correspondingly large amount of wastewater with high levels of salts and organic materials. Before these wastewaters can be eliminated, they must be submitted to a suitable depuration treatment. However, conventional treatments such as those used for urban wastewater are not able to reduce the salt content sufficiently and new methods need to be studied in the light of new technologies. In this aspect, membrane technology is increasingly used as a separation technique in chemical and environmental engineering, including desalination, selective separation and wastewater treatment. In this paper, we describe a comparative study of six different reverse osmosis membranes, which were tested for their ability to reduce the salt content in the tertiary treatment after the elimination of chromium salts and organic matter of an effluent from a pilot plant for treating industrial wastewater from the tanning industry to reach the legal levels established for their safe disposal. The membranes were checked using a 3×10⁻³ m² flat cell, where the concentrated streams were recirculated to the feed reservoir.     

Electrochemical formation of AlN in molten LiCl-KCl-Li3N systems

Electrochemical formation of aluminum nitride was investigated in molten LiCl-KCl-Li₃N systems at 723 K. When Al was anodically polarized at 1.0 V (versus Li⁺/Li), oxidation of nitride ions proceeded to form adsorbed nitrogen atoms, which reacted with the surface to form AlN film. The obtained nitrided film had a thickness of sub-micron order. The obtained nitrided layer consisted of two regions; the outer layer involving AlN and aluminum oxynitride and the inner layer involving metallic Al and AlN. When Al electrode was anodically polarized at 2.0 V, anodic dissolution of Al electrode occurred to give aluminum ions, which reacted with nitride ions in the melt to produce AlN particles (1-5 μm of diameter) of wurtzite structure.     

物联网软件体系结构中的感执模型的求精

物联网的基本功能是感知物理环境,并根据实时的感知信息和用户的执行需求实现对物理环境的控制.因此,感执模块是物联网软件的核心模块.为最终将软件体系结构应用于物联网软件的开发,在基于物理模型的物联网软件体系结构（physical-model driven software architecture,简称PMDA）研究的基础上,对PMDA 中的感执模型SEM进行求精,求精后的感执模型称为R-SEM.R-SEM 考虑了物联网的特有属性,将SEM的内部构件按照物理应用的感执工作流程分解为用通信顺序进程（communication sequential process,简称CSP）表达的子构件来说明构件端口的功能实现,并采用CSP 中的导管运算符来说明子构件的端口与构件的端口之间的同步,通过CSP 描述了子构件与子构件之间的交互.使用进程分析工具（process analysis toolkit,简称PAT）对R-SEM 进行了验证.验证结果表明：R-SEM 中子构件之间的交互、子构件的端口与构件的端口之间的同步保持了SEM 所具有的保证物理应用之间有效互联的性质——不死锁、不中止和不发散.由于R-SEM 精化了SEM 的内部组成,且保持了SEM 的有效互联性质,因此,R-SEM 对最终将PMDA 应用于物联网软件的开发具有实际的指导意义.     

REACTOR-MEMBRANE PERMEATOR CASCADE FOR ENHANCED PRODUCTION AND RECOVERY OF H2 AND CO2 FROM THE CATALYTIC METHANE-STEAM REFORMING REACTION

The catalytic reforming of methane by steam is an important industrial process that produces H₂, CO and CO₂, thus chemically transforming natural gas, coal gas and light hydrocarbon feedstocks to synthesis gas or hydrogen fuel. Methane-steam reforming may consist of a number of reactions depending on the reforming catalyst, operating conditions and feedstock composition, The typical industrially desirable reactions are the reverse of methanation (CH₄ + H₂O = CO + 3H₂) and the water-gas shift (CO + H₂O = CO₂ + H₂). Both reactions are equilibrium limited and the composition of the mixture that exits the reformer is in accordance with the one calculated thermodynarmically. Removal of reaction products at the reactor exit by means of selective membrane permeation can offer improved CH₄ conversions and CO₂ and H₂ yields, assuming the subsequent utilization of the reject streams by a second methane-steam reformer. We numerically investigated the feasibility of a system of two tubular methane-steam reformers, in series with an intermediate permselective polyimide membrane permeator, as means of improving the overall CH₄ conversion and the H₂, CO₂ yields over conventional methane-steam reforming equilibrium reaction-separation schemes that are currently in industrial practice. The unique feature of the permselective polyimide separator is the simultaneous removal of H₂ and CO₂ versus CH₄ and CO from the reformed streams. The utilized 6FDA-3,3', 5,5'-TMB aromatic polyimide was reportedly characterized [10] and found to exhibit superior permselective properties compared with other polyimides of the same or different dianhydride sequence. Conversion and yield of the designed reactor-membrane permeator reforming system can be maximized by optimizing the permselective properties of the membrane material and the design variables of the reactors and the permeator. Product recovery and purity in the permeate stream need to be compromised to overall enhance methane conversion and product yield. The operating variables that were varied to investigate their effect on the magnitude of conversion and yield included the inlet pressure of the first reformer, the temperature of both reformers, and the permeator dimensionless Pe' number (variation of the first two variables results to a drastic change in the composition of the reformed stream that enters into the permeator). The numerical results show that the new reformer-membrane permeator cascade process can be more effective (it can offer increased CH₄ conversions and H₂, CO₂ yields) than conventional equilibrium methane-steam reforming reaction-separation processes currently in practice.

Hydrodenitrogenation and Hydrodesulphurization of Heavy Gas Oil Using NiMo/Al2O3 Catalyst Containing Phosphorus: Experimental and Kinetic Studies

In this work, a systematic study has been conducted to optimize the process conditions and to evaluate kinetic parameters for hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) and hydrodesulphurization (HDS) of heavy gas oil derived from Athabasca bitumen using NiMo/Al₂O₃ catalysts containing phosphorus (P). In the catalyst, the concentration of phosphorus was maintained at 2.7 wt%. Experiments were performed in a tickle‐bed reactor at the temperature, pressure and liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 340‐420°C, 6.1‐10.2 MPa and 0.5‐2 h^?1, respectively. H₂ flow rate and catalyst weight were maintained constant at 50 mL/min and 4 g, respectively in all cases. Statistical analysis of all experimental data was carried out using ANOVA to optimize the process conditions for HDN and HDS reactions. Kinetic studies for HDN and HDS reactions were studied within the temperature range of 340‐400°C using the power law model as well as the Langmuir‐Hinshelhood model. The power law model showed that HDN and HDS of heavy gas oil follow first order kinetics. The activation energies for HDN and HDS reactions from the power law and Langmuir‐Hinshelwood models were 94 and 96 kJ/mol and 113 and 137 kJ/mol, respectively.
