The heat capacities on two minerals of hungchaoite (MgB4O7·9H2O, Hu) and mcallisterite (MgB6O10·7.5H2O, Mc) have been measured with a precision calorimeter at temperatures ranging from 306.15 to 355.15 K, experimentally. It was found that there are no phase transition and thermal anomalies, and the molar heat capacities against temperature for the minerals of hungchaoite and mcallisterite were fitted as C p , m , Hu   =   − 27019.23675 + 229.55286 T   −   0.63912 T   2   +   ( 5.95862   ×   10   − 4 )   T   3 and C p , mMc   =   − 9981.88552   +   84.10964 T   −   0.22685 T   2   +   ( 2.0593   ×   10   − 4 )   T   3 , respectively. The molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of (HT-H298.15), (ST-S298.15), and (GT-G298.15) at intervals of 1 K for the two minerals were obtained for the first time. These results are significant in order to understand the thermodynamic properties of those minerals existing in nature salt lakes, as well as applying them to the chemical engineering process design.

This paper discusses the design and application of a filter based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in a chemical engineering process. The design of a filter consists of adapting the algorithms that make up the filter to the process to be filtered. Taking into account that the ANN is able to model almost every type of chemical process, the design and application of a filter based on ANN was studied. In this work, every ANN used was based on Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). Bearing in mind that ANN should reproduce the process as accurately as possible, an optimisation of the ANN (training function and parameters) was carried out. A mathematical model of a reflux in the upper part of a distillation column was used to test the ANN filter. The ANN is able to filter noisy signals with a mean prediction error less than 2.5•10-3 %.
