Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent and bio-accumulative substances that have many adverse effects on human bodies. This study investigated the PFASs distribution characteristics in urine samples of workers from an acrylic fiber plant and a chemical plant. It was found that perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) was the predominant PFASs both in urine samples from the chemical plant (detection frequency: 86.52%; median value: 39.01 ng/mL) and the acrylic fiber plant (detection frequency: 88.16%; median value: 44.36 ng/mL). Meanwhile, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) were detected with very low frequencies and low concentrations. Furthermore, the results showed that PFASs levels in urine samples of workers from different units of the plants were quite different. PFASs concentrations of urine samples in males were higher than those in females, especially for PFBA, PFHxA, and PFDoA. The age had limited effects on the PFASs distribution in urine samples in this study, as short-chain PFASs were the dominant compounds. The correlations between PFASs concentrations in urine and gender/ages of workers were finally analyzed by Person correlation. The overall results may indicate that short-chain PFASs (such as: PFBA and PFBS) were becoming dominant for human exposure, especially occupational workers.

Acrylonitrile Copolymers

Polymerization effluents (PME) from dry-spun acrylic fiber manufacturing are hard to degrade. This paper evaluated the distribution characteristics of PME pollutants by means of multi scale membrane filtrations, including microfiltration (5 μm and 1 μm), ultrafiltration (50 KD, 10 KD and 6 KD), nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser particle size analyzer (LPSA) tests were also used as assistant measurements. The majority of particles in PME are mainly categorized as supracolloidal structures. 70% of them rage from 5 μm to 20 μm with a median size of 9.99 μm. Particulate, colloidal and soluble portions contribute 7.6%, 8.2% and 75.2% to the initial COD, meaning that the soluble fraction, which is also poor in biodegradability, plays a key role in PME treatment. 26.8% of TN, mainly consisting of various acrylonitrile copolymers, exists in the colloidal portion; while 70.5% of it, mainly comprised of ammonia, cyanide and nitrile, distributes in the soluble portion. The distribution characteristics of ammonia and SO32-are similar. Respectively 92.7% and 94.7% distributes in the soluble portion.

Acrylic Fibers

This study investigated the addition of acrylic fiber to old corrugated container (OCC) pulp as a possible means of overcoming adverse effects of water-based pressure sensitive adhesives during manufacture of paper or paperboard. Such adhesives can constitute a main source of stickies, which hurt the efficiency of the papermaking process and make tacky spots in the product. The highest amount of acrylic fiber added to recycled pulps generally resulted in a 77% reduction in accepted pulp microstickies. The addition of acrylic fibers also increased pulp freeness, tear index, burst strength, and breaking length, though there was a reduction in screen yield. Hence, in addition to controlling the adverse effects of stickies, the addition of acrylic fibers resulted in the improvement of the mechanical properties of paper compared with a control sample.

Automation of process control in chemical plant is an inspiring application field of mechatronicengineering. In order to understand the complexity of the automation and its application requireknowledges of chemical engineering, mechatronic and other numerous interconnected studies.The background of this paper is an inherent problem of overheating due to lack of level controlsystem. The objective of this research is to control the dynamic process of desired level more tightlywhich is able to stabilize raw material supply into the chemical plant system.The chemical plant is operated within a wide range of feed compositions and flow rates whichmake the process control become difficult. This research uses modelling for efficiency reason andanalyzes the model by PID control algorithm along with its simulations by using Matlab.
