Liquid Phase Hydrogenation

Granulated Pt/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were found to have a much better catalytic activity in the liquid phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene than Pt/activated carbon (AC). The granulated CNTs had much larger pores than the AC particles, which gave a faster mass transfer rate of H2 that helped produce aniline with high selectivity.

Liquid Phase Hydrogenation

AbstractNitrogen-free multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and N-doped bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (BCNTs) were synthesized by using catalytic vapor deposition (CVD) and used as catalyst support materials. Pd, Rh, Ru, and Ir have been deposited onto the nanotubes to achieve metal/nanotube catalysts. The catalytic activity of the samples was fine-tuned by changing the type of support. BCNT supported Pd and Rh (Pd/BCNT, Rh/MWCNT) catalysts were found to be the most active for liquid phase hydrogenation of octadecene amongst these samples. The initial olefin hydrogenation rate of the Pd/BCNT sample was slightly higher than the corresponding MWCNT-supported catalyst. Based on the hydrogenation reaction, the performance of these catalyst had been ranked as follows: Pd/BCNT ≈ Rh/MWCNT > Pd/MWCNT > Rh/BCNT >  > Ir/MWCNT > Ru/BCNT > Ir/BCNT > Ru/MWCNT. The structural properties of chemisorbed Pd on MWCNT and N- BCNT were also characterized by means of computational chemical methods in order to shed some light on the nature of metal binding properties of N-doped and undoped surfaces. The calculations shown preference towards the edges of the surfaces which is in good agreement with the experimental findings.

Blade Shape

A novel supercavitation-based device named Rotational Supercavitating Evaporator (RSCE) was recently designed for desalination. In order to improve the blade shape of rotational cavitator in RSCE for performance optimization and then design three-dimensional blades, two-dimensional numerical simulations are conducted on the supercavitating flows (with cavitation number ranging from 0.055 to 0.315) around six planar symmetric cavitators with different streamlined headforms utilizing k – ε – v′2 – f turbulence model and Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model. We obtain the characteristics of natural supercavitation for each cavitator, including the shape and resistance characteristics and the mass transfer rate from liquid phase to vapor phase. The effects of the shape of the headform on these characteristics are analyzed. The results show that the supercavity sizes for most cavitators with streamlined headforms are smaller than that for wedge-shaped cavitator, except for the one with the profile of the forebody concaving to the inside of the cavitator. Cavitation initially occurs on the surface of the forebody for the cavitators with small curvature of the front end. Even though the pressure drag of the cavitator with streamlined headform is dramatically reduced compared with that of wedge-shaped cavitator, the pressure drag still accounts for most of the total drag. Both the drag and the mass transfer rate from liquid phase to vapor phase are in positive correlation with the supercavity size, indicating that the cavitators with the elliptic and hyperbolic cosine-type forebodies could be utilized for the optimal design of three-dimensional blade shape of RSCE.

Chemical Absorption

Abstract This work analyzes carbon dioxide mass transfer rate during chemical absorption from a gas phase to a liquid–liquid system based on an aqueous phase (glucosamine or pyrrolidine solutions) and an organic one. Two different kinds of silicone oil with different viscosity were used to perform the liquid phases, and it allows the analysis of the influence of this variable upon mass transfer rate. In these systems, a surfactant (Tween80) was added to stabilize the liquid–liquid system, and therefore, the influence of the presence of this surfactant in the liquid phase was studied. This substance produces a positive effect upon carbon dioxide absorption rate in glucosamine aqueous solutions, but the opposite effect was observed for the other amine employed in this work. Also, the influence caused by different operation variables, such as the gas flow-rate fed to the bubble contactor or the silicone oil concentration in the liquid phase, was studied.

Background Organic Matter (BOM) preloading is adsorption of BOM onto Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) prior to the adsorption of target compounds, such as pesticides and other organic micropollutants (e.g. atrazine). BOM preloading is commonly found to speed up the breakthrough of target compounds during GAC filtration. Ozonation of GAC filter influent may be expected to lower BOM preloading, because it results in less adsorbable and more biodegradable BOM compounds. Short Fixed Bed (SFB) tests with virgin and preloaded GAC, performed within this study, confirmed that preloading of BOM present in pretreated river Rhine water speeds up the breakthrough of atrazine in GAC filters. BOM preloading was found to lower equilibrium adsorption capacity of GAC for atrazine, and to slow down both external and internal mass transfer rate of atrazine on/into GAC. Adsorption capacity of (crushed) GAC was determined from atrazine adsorption isotherms, while mass transfer rate coefficients were determined by fitting the Homogeneous Surface Diffusion model to the breakthrough of atrazine in the SFB tests. More pronounced BOM preloading was found in the GAC filter receiving non-ozonated influent than in its ozonated counterpart. Biodegradation of ozonated BOM was shown to lower BOM preloading in GAC filters.

Limiting Diffusion Current

The limiting diffusion current technique was used for investigation of free convective mass transfer at down-pointing up-facing isosceles triangular surfaces of varying length and inclination. As the mass transfer process, copper deposition from acidified copper(II) sulfate solution was used. It was found that the mass transfer rate increases with inclination from the vertical to the horizontal position and decreases with length of inclined surface. Correlation equations for 7 angles from 0 to 90° were found. The exponent in the ShL-RaL correlation ranged from 0.247 for the vertical case, indicating laminar flow, to 0.32 for inclinations of 60 to 90°, indicating mixed or turbulent flow. The general correlation ShL = 0.358(RaL sin θ)0.30 for the RaL sin θ range from 7 × 106 to 2 × 1011 and inclination range from 15 to 90° was obtained.
