This study aimed at developing models predicting cement strength based on shallow neural networks (ANN) using exclusively industrial data. The models used physical, chemical, and early strength results to forecast those for 28and 7-day. Neural networks were trained dynamically for a movable period and then used for a future period of at least one day. The study includes nine types of activation functions. The algorithms use the root mean square errors of testing sets (RMSEFuture) and their robustness as optimization criteria. The RMSEFuture of the best models with optimum ANNs was in the range of 1.36 MPa to 1.63 MPa, which is near or within the area of long-term repeatability of a very competent laboratory. Continuous application of the models in actual conditions of a cement plant in the long-term showed a performance at least equivalent to that calculated during the design step.

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCCO2) and focused microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (FMAHD) were used comparatively to isolate the volatile oils of the brown alga Dictyopteris membranacea from the crude ether extract. The volatiles fractions were analysed by GC/MS, the major compounds were: dictyopterene A, 6-butyl 1,4-cycloheptadiene, 1-undecen-3-one, 1,4-undecadien-3-one, (3-oxoundec-4-enyl) sulphur, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, 3-hexyl-4,5-dithiacycloheptanone, and albicanol. A kinetics study of the extraction of the volatile fractions obtained by the two processes was carried out, an external calibration allowed to quantify the content of the main metabolites. Empirical models were applied to adjust the experimental kinetics values but also to determine the values of apparent solubilities for SCCO2 and the rate constants for FMAHD. The results obtained revealed that the SCCO2 process was characterized by the coexistence of three distinct phases. For FMAHD, the extraction mechanism included two steps.

Water security, due to heavy metal pollution in water resources, has become a serious problem in modern urbanized society. Plants with a good source of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, etc., are the most promising adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from water. In this work, for the first time, a low-cost local plant named Acorus calamus (AC; flag root or sweet flag) and citric acid modified AC root powder (CAMAC) were used as potential adsorbents. The samples were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and the sorption properties were investigated by different parameters, such as solution pH, batch kinetic study, batch isotherm, effect of adsorbent dose, effect of initial concentration, and effect of contact time. The results of ACRP on removal efficiency of copper (II) and arsenic (III) in an aqueous solution showed an excellent adsorption behavior (~ 80 % adsorption efficiency). This study opens up an easy and economical method for the decontamination of harsh polluting metal ions from water.

This work focuses on anaerobic fermentation of synthetic substrate with high nitrogen content. An anaerobic continuously stirred tank reactor was gradually loaded with synthetic substrate, and the first inhibition was observed on day 110 when the SBP decreased by 20 %. Another significant change was observed on day 135, when SBP dropped to 122 L kg–1 COD. At the same time, a gas washing bottle with hydrochloric acid was connected to capture ammonia from recirculated biogas. With this arrangement, a slight increase in the SBP production to 150 L kg–1 COD was observed. On day 164, the gas washing bottle was changed to two gas washing bottles with fritted discs. After ten days, a significant increase in SBP, to 320 L kg–1 COD, was observed, indicating that the system began to overcome inhibition. From these results, it can be concluded that this method is effective in mitigating ammonia inhibition.
本文主要研究了高含氮合成底物的厌氧发酵。在厌氧连续搅拌槽反应器中逐渐加载合成底物,在第110天观察到第一次抑制作用,SBP下降了20%。第135天,收缩压降至122 L kg-1 COD。同时,连接一个装有盐酸的气体洗涤瓶,从循环沼气中捕获氨。通过这种安排,观察到SBP产量略有增加,达到150 L kg-1 COD。在第164天,将气体洗涤瓶改为两个带熔盘的气体洗涤瓶。10天后,观察到收缩压显著增加,达到320 L kg-1 COD,表明系统开始克服抑制。从这些结果可以看出,该方法可以有效地减轻氨抑制。

Nowadays, protecting the environment is of utmost importance worldwide, and sulfur dioxide is one of the main pollutants in the atmosphere. This work proposes a new method for simultaneous SO2 removal by MgO, and production of magnesium sulfate in a packed bed reactor for which breakthrough curves have been obtained. Furthermore, the effect of important operating parameters, including temperature, SO2 concentration, and gaseous flow rate was investigated. Experiments showed that increasing the temperature improved the breakthrough lifetime, but the increase in concentration and flow rate reduced the lifetime. The experimental results were predicted successfully by applying the Random Pore Model (RPM). Finally, the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) that is a technique for multi-objective optimization, was employed to determine the best operating parameters for SO2 removal by magnesium oxide in the packed bed reactor.

One of the most important problems of the fertilizer industry is that fertilizers show caking tendency during transportation and storage. Caking occurs as a result of interaction at the contact points formed between solid fertilizer particles. These interactions, also called contact mechanisms, are activated by a number of properties that fertilizers have and by environmental conditions. Prevention of caking mechanism is a substantial research subject that directly affects the quality and financial value of the final product and ensures its applicability. Fertilizer in good quality can provide ease in agricultural applications, and directly affect plant nutrition and crop productivity. At this point, there are various promoter practices for obtaining the free-flowing property in fertilizers that can be maintained or suggested during or after production, both in industry and in R&D studies. In order to develop new process control points in the industry, it is important to understand the factors that cause caking and the mechanism of physicochemical interactions that progress depending on these factors. In addition, it is essential to improve the storage conditions of the fertilizer, as well as to maintain its quality until end-use. This paper focuses on the caking behavior of fertilizers in detail, giving brief information about the prevention of caking and various types of anticaking agents.
