Abstract A novel interconnected screw reactor was proposed to convert biomass to bio-oil and bio-char in this study. This reactor is expected to achieve direct heating of pyrolysis feedstocks and increase the reactor processing capacity through the recycling of biochar between the inner and outer screw. Here, we simulated the biomass particle flow and reaction process in this interconnected reactor by an extended discrete element method (DEM), the effect of char circulation on the reactor temperature distribution and the product yields are investigated. The results show that the char circulation increased the heating rate of biomass. At the inner and outer screw speed of 10 rpm and 1 rpm, the char circulation can reach 5.15 kg/h and the average temperature of biomass under the char circulation is about 30 °C higher than that without char circulation. The reaction simulation results show that at 500 °C, the yield of char, bio-oil and non-condensable gas are 18.9%, 40.6% and 40.5% respectively. The predicted product yields of char, bio-oil and non-condensable gas are also in good agreement with the experimental measurements.

Abstract The fluid in the reactor can be poorly mixed, so an eccentric impeller is proposed to improve the fluid mixing efficiency. In this investigation, numerical simulations and cadmium removal experiments for the purification of zinc sulfate solution were conducted. The effect of eccentric impellers on the purification efficiency was discussed. The mechanism of the effect of concentric and eccentric arrangement of stirring impellers on mixing in the stirred tank was elucidated. The results showed that the average axial velocity of the eccentric impeller stirring system (EIS) was 131.52% of that of the concentric stirring system (CS) and 134.23% of that of the eccentric stirring system (ES). In the purification and removal of cadmium in the zinc hydrometallurgy experiment, unit ion purification energy was introduced to quantify the energy consumed for each 1% of Cd2+ removed. The eccentric impeller shortens the reaction time by 40% and reduces the reaction energy consumption by 31.8% compared to the non-eccentric impeller. Compared to CS and ES, EIS disrupts the periodicity of fluid flow and facilitates the destruction of isolated mixing regions. EIS can enhance mechanical stirring to improve purification efficiency.

Abstract A dual-degree of freedom (dual-DOF) propor-tional-integral proportional-derivative (PI-PD) controller is developed for integrating-type chemical processes with delay. The interior-loop PD controller is designed based on user-defined gain and phase margin. For designing the external-loop PI controller, the moment-matching method is augmented with maximum sensitivity specifications. The suggested design is suitable for chemical processes like continuously stirred tank reactors, boiler steam drums, heat exchangers and distillation columns. Using benchmark models of the aforementioned processes, the closed-loop system outputs and control signals are compared to vindicate the primacy of the suggested dual-DOF PI-PD controller. To study the performance-robustness trade-off of this design, rigorous perturbation analysis is also carried out. The performance improvement achieved by the suggested dual-DOF PI-PD controller is also quantitatively compared with contemporary works.

Abstract In this work, a new hydrometallurgical process was developed to treat zinc ash produced from the hot galvanizing industry. The theoretical analysis shows the feasibility of dissolving zinc ash in the NH3–NH4Cl–H2O system, and the dissolution products are predominantly composed of Zn (NH3)4 2+. The impacts of different experimental conditions were examined, and the leaching ratio of zinc was as high as 96.4% under the conditions of NH3/NH4 + ratio of 1:1, liquid/solid of 9:1, total ammonia concentration of 8 mol/L and the stirring speed of 250 rpm at 313 K for 120 min. The kinetics of the leaching process were investigated and the calculated apparent activation energy was approximately 4.69 kJ/mol, which indicated that the zinc ash leaching process was controlled by diffusion-controlled. As revealed by the determination of impurity ions, on one hand, there were fewer impurities in the leaching solution, and the concentrations of Fe2+ and Pb2+ in solution are less than 0.02 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L respectively; on the other hand, there was no need for further impurity removal in this process. The proposed process has a certain application value in treating zinc ash.

Abstract Multi-fuel operation of the coal-fired boiler is considered as a promising option for boiler reformation to reduce carbon emissions while recycling solid waste. In this work, co-combustion characteristics of sugarcane bagasse, Nanning meager-lean coal and petroleum coke under different conditions were investigated in detail. And the interaction between raw materials was analyzed. Finally, the kinetic parameters were estimated by using the first-order response model. The results show that differences in petroleum coke content affect the appearance of weight loss peaks in the DTG curve. When the proportion of sugarcane bagasse is between 40 and 60%, the ignition and burnout characteristic indexes are particularly sensitive to variations in sugarcane bagasse content. Additionally, the interaction between the three raw materials is promoted as the proportion of petroleum coke is less than 40%. The kinetic analysis suggests that the increase of heating rate is conducive to the precipitation of volatiles, but there is an optimal heating rate for the fixed carbon combustion stage. The change of particle size combination has little effect on the activation energy of the volatile fraction combustion stage. This study provides a reference to ensure the stable and high-efficient operation of the coal-fired boilers during the multi-fuel combustion.

Abstract Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), acrylic acid (AA), and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were used as monomers, and ammonium persulfate was used as an initiator. Orthogonal tests were optimized the experimental condition, and aqueous polymerization was used to prepare poly-β-cyclodextrin/polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (β-CD/PVA/PAA) hydrogel. The samples were characterized by FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), and XRD (X-ray diffraction). β-CD/PVA/PAA hydrogel was analyzed, which influenced external environmental factors on the β-CD/PVA/PAA hydrogel adsorption performance, and the kinetic behavior of β-CD/PVA/PAA hydrogel on ciprofloxacin (CIP) adsorption was explored. The results concluded that the prepared β-CD/PVA/PAA hydrogel has a well-defined three-dimensional network structure. The decrease in the pH of the CIP solution and the adsorption temperature reduces the adsorption reaction of β-CD/PVA/PAA hydrogel on CIP. The kinetics of CIP adsorption by β-CD/PVA/PAA hydrogel confirmed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.997), the maximum equilibrium adsorption amounts is 372.12 mg/g, the removal rate reaches 74.42%. The adsorption process was mainly chemisorption, the adsorption isotherm fits the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model (R2 > 0.946), and the adsorption process was heterogeneous with multi-molecular layer adsorption. The adsorption process inclined more toward the adsorption of inhomogeneous multi-molecular layers. The β-CD/PVA/PAA hydrogel retained 80% adsorption properties after three adsorption-desorption under optimal conditions.

Abstract Advance process control is a proven control and optimization technology delivering measurable and sustainable improvements in production yield, coupled with the added value of energy savings. In this work, an adaptive based model predictive control (aMPC) is developed and implemented to control the hydrogenation of dimethyl oxide to ethylene glycol (EG) in a plug flow reactor. The aMPC is compared with 3 other control schemes; proportional-integral (PI), decoupled PI (dPI) and linear model predictive control. The aim is to determine the reliability of aMPC in controlling the production rate and reactor temperature for an optimized hydrogenation reactor. The aspects compared include set point tracking, disturbance rejection and robustness test. The analysis concludes that the aMPC offers the best overall performance compared to the other control schemes.

Abstract Based on Ansteel’s new No. 5 blast furnace (BF), the distribution rule of hot blast on the circumference of blast furnace hearth under different blast volume was studied. The results show that, the blast volume distribution rule is similar under different blast volumes, that is, there are four regions with large blast volumes at the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° positions of the bustle pipe. Under different blast volumes, the difference of blast volume near 90° and 270° is close to 0, which has a minor effect on the uneven distribution of gas flow and circumferential asymmetry of packed bed in BF. However, the blast volume of the tuyere near the 180° is always larger than that of the tuyere near 0°, and with the increase of blast volume from 4600 to 5000 nm3/min, this difference keeps increasing, 0.69 to 0.95 nm3/min. This phenomenon will lead to an increase in the coke consumption on the 180° side, and cause a higher descending velocity of coke than that on the 0° side, this difference increases from 0.39 to 0.54 m, which could further result in the unevenness of blast volume distribution and the circumferential asymmetry of packed bed in BF. Comparing with the actual production in Ansteel, the results obtained in this work are in good agreement with the phenomenon in practical production.

Abstract Chromium Cr(VI) is a highly toxic environmental contaminant for any organism, its presence in the environment is mainly due to anthropogenic activities. The use of biotechnology has been implemented for the treatment of effluents contaminated with Cr(VI).Our working group has isolated several fungi and bacteria capable of removing Cr(VI) from the culture medium. Aspergillus niger var tubingensis Ed8 is a strain that can produce metabolites which reduce Cr (VI) to Cr (III). The objective of this work was to determine the effect of sodium salicylate on the growth of this strain and on the Cr(VI) reduction system, as well as to identify the metabolites that are produced from sodium salicylate. Our results show that the Culture medium containing sodium salicylate (20 mM) inhibits strain growth compared to the control condition (0 mM). However, it increases the specific reduction capacity of Cr (VI) red/mg Biomass in order of magnitude. Analysis of the culture medium corresponding to 48 h of incubation shows the presence of catechol and salicylate diminution. In addition, as a product of the enzymatic activity of a cell-free cellular extract, after 24 h of incubation, the consumption of salicylate is detected, as well as the presence of peaks corresponding to resorcinol and catechol. Our results show that it is possible to increase the Cr(VI) reducing capacity of the Ed8 strain, depending on the composition of the culture medium.

Abstract We obtain the clean semi-analytical solutions with method of directly defining inverse mapping (MDDiM) to the system of nonlinear equations arising in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection motion of Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) engine-oil intrinsic nanofluid in a circumnavigatethe structure is considered for analysis. Finding the solutions by using MDDiM is a novel idea and first time solving for the system of nonlinear partial differential equations. We have chosen inverse linear mapping for the five-term solution and it emphasizes by residual error and this gives the low error (10−2 to 10−17) and can easily derive deformation terms by spending very low CPU time. Based on the proposed method, the convergence rate, accuracy, and efficiency of the governing equations are demonstrated, and result outputs shown in tabular and graphically, which exhibit meaningful structures and advantages in science and engineering.
