Failure mode and effects analysis using intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid weighted Euclidean distance operator

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) has shown its effectiveness in examining potential failures in products, process, designs or services and has been extensively used for safety and reliability analysis in a wide range of industries. However, its approach to prioritise failure modes through a crisp risk priority number (RPN) has been criticised as having several shortcomings. The aim of this paper is to develop an efficient and comprehensive risk assessment methodology using intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid weighted Euclidean distance (IFHWED) operator to overcome the limitations and improve the effectiveness of the traditional FMEA. The diversified and uncertain assessments given by FMEA team members are treated as linguistic terms expressed in intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator is used to aggregate the FMEA team members’ individual assessments into a group assessment. IFHWED operator is applied thereafter to the prioritisation and selection of failure modes. Particularly, both subjective and objective weights of risk factors are considered during the risk evaluation process. A numerical example for risk assessment is given to illustrate the proposed method finally.     

Electrical properties of V2O5–WO3/TiO2 EUROCAT catalysts evidence for redox process in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) deNOx reaction

Electrical conductivity measurements on EUROCAT V₂O₅–WO₃/TiO₂ catalyst and on its precursor without vanadia were performed at 300°C under pure oxygen to characterize the samples, under NO and under NH₃ to determine the mode of reactivity of these reactants and under two reaction mixtures ((i) 2000 ppm NO + 2000 ppm NH₃ without O₂, and (ii) 2000 ppm NO + 2000 ppm NH₃ + 500 ppm O₂) to put in evidence redox processes in SCR deNO_x reaction.It was first demonstrated that titania support contains certain amounts of dissolved W⁶⁺ and V⁵⁺ ions, whose dissolution in the lattice of titania creates an n-type doping effect. Electrical conductivity revealed that the so-called reference pure titania monolith was highly doped by heterovalent cations whose valency was higher than +4. Subsequent chemical analyses revealed that so-called pure titania reference catalyst was actually the WO₃/TiO₂ precursor of V₂O₅–WO₃/TiO₂ EUROCAT catalyst. It contained an average amount of 0.37 at.% W⁶⁺dissolved in titania, i.e. 1.07 × 10²⁰ W⁶⁺ cations dissolved/cm³ of titania. For the fresh catalyst, the mean amounts of W⁶⁺ and V⁵⁺ ions dissolved in titania were found to be equal to 1.07 × 10²⁰ and 4.47 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³, respectively. For the used catalyst, the mean amounts of W⁶⁺ and V⁵⁺ ions dissolved were found to be equal to 1.07 × 10²⁰ and 7.42 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³, respectively. Since fresh and used catalysts have similar compositions and similar catalytic behaviours, the only manifestation of ageing was a supplementary progressive dissolution of 2.9 × 10²⁰ additional V⁵⁺ cations in titania.After a prompt removal of oxygen, it appeared that NO alone has an electron acceptor character, linked to its possible ionosorption as NO⁻ and to the filling of anionic vacancies, mostly present on vanadia. Ammonia had a strong reducing behaviour with the formation of singly ionized vacancies. A subsequent introduction of NO indicated a donor character of this molecule, in opposition to its first adsorption. This was ascribed to its reaction with previously adsorbed ammonia strongly bound to acidic sites. Under NO + NH₃ reaction mixture in the absence of oxygen, the increase of electrical conductivity was ascribed to the formation of anionic vacancies, mainly on vanadia, created by dehydroxylation and dehydration of the surface. These anionic vacancies were initially subsequently filled by the oxygen atom of NO. N^o atoms, resulting from the dissociation of NO and from ammonia dehydrogenation, recombined into dinitrogen molecules. The reaction corresponded to

. In the presence of oxygen, NO did not exhibit anymore its electron acceptor character, since the filling of anionic vacancies was performed by oxygen from the gas phase. NO reacted directly with ammonia strongly bound on acidic sites. A tentative redox mechanism was proposed for both cases.

Effect of pH on a gossypol complex with phospholipids: Gossypol-PE

PE, one of the major phospholipids in oilseed soapstock, may react with gossypol to form Schiff bases. PE amounts to 20–30% of the phosphorus compounds in soap-stock. In this report, the dependence on pH of the Schiff base products between PE and gossypol was investigated using a spectrophotometer, an HPLC equipped with an ELSD, and an LC-MS system. We observed that at pH 7 the Schiff reaction product and reactants were clearly detected by ELSD, absorption, and LC-MS spectra. The absorption spectra displayed the characteristic peak for the Schiff bases around 430–440 nm. The absorption spectra also indicated that the reaction was pH dependent. The reaction temperatures were 60 and 90°C. The LC-MS spectra supported the formation of Schiff bases as well as methyl ether derivatives of gossypol in alcohol at the elevated temperatures. The implications of these experimental findings are presented in this paper.

Infrared study of acetone and nitrogen oxides on Cu-ZSM-5

The oxidation of bulky thioethers has been carried out on Ti-Beta and Ti-MCM-41 catalysts, using H₂O₂ andt-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidants. The intrinsic activity of Ti-Beta was higher than that of Ti-MCM-41 for the oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide which can penetrate in the pores of Beta, while in the case of the larger isopentyl phenyl sulfide, which diffuses more slowly in Ti-Beta zeolite, Ti-MCM-41 gives a larger activity. Ti-Beta is able to perform better for the more demanding oxidation of sulfoxides to sulfones giving, therefore, higher selectivities to sulfones than Ti-MCM-41. Similar results were obtained when using either H₂O₂ or TBHP as oxidants. However, the sterical effects were enhanced when TBHP was used as oxidant.
