Nox Adsorption

Abstract A NOx adsorption kinetic model including NO oxidation and adsorption was developed. The NOx and O2 adsorption experimental data from a fixed bed were found to be fitted well to the Freundlich type isotherm. An axial dispersion adsorption model was then developed to simulate the breakthrough curve for NOx adsorption in the fixed bed. The model parameters including mass transfer coefficient and axial dispersion coefficient were fitted from the NOx breakthrough curves measured in a fixed bed. This model can be used for design and scale-up of fixed bed NOx adsorption columns. It can also be extended for the modeling of NOx adsorption in the annulus region of the circulating fluidized bed reactor for catalytic reduction of NOx.

An experimental study was carried out aimed at establishing a data base for an optimum design of a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor for biotransformation of ammonium fumarate to L-aspartic acid catalyzed by immobilized cells of the strain Escherichia alcalescens dispar group. The experimental program included studies of the effect of reactor geometry, catalytic particle size, and packed bed arrangement on reactor hydrodynamics and on the rate of substrate conversion. An expression for the effective reaction rate was derived including the effect of mass transfer and conditions of the safe conversion-data scale-up were defined. Suggestions for the design of a pilot plant reactor (100 t/year) were formulated and decisive design parameters of such reactor were estimated for several variants of problem formulation.

Fixed-bed processes, where cells are immobilized within macroporous carriers, are a promising alternative to processes with suspended cells. A scale-up concept is presented in order to evaluate the performance as part of process design of fixed-bed processes. Therefore,Lactococcus lactiscultivation in chemostat and batch mode was compared to fixed bed cultures on three different scales, the smallest being the downscaledMultifermwith 10 mL fixed bed units, the second a 100 mL fixed-bed reactor and the third a pilot scale reactor with 1 L fixed bed volume. As expected, the volume specific lactate productivity of all cultivations was dependent on dilution rate. In suspension chemostat culture a maximum of 2.3 g·L-1·h-1was reached. Due to cell retention in the fixed-beds, productivity increased up to 8.29 g·L-1·h-1at a dilution rate of D = 1.16 h-1(corresponding to 2.4·µmax) on pilot scale. For all fixed bed cultures a common spline was obtained indicating a good scale-up performance.

Adsorption Column

Continuous fixed-bed column studies were performed using nanocomposite beads made up of chitosan, polyethyleneimine, and graphene oxide as adsorbents for the removal of methyl orange (MO) in water. The effects of different operating parameters such as initial MO concentration (5, 10, and 15 ppm), bed height (10, 17.5, and 25 cm), and flow rate (27, 43, and 58 mL/min) were investigated using an upward-flow fixed-bed column set-up. The breakthrough curves generated were fitted with Adams-Bohart, Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Yan et al. models. The results showed that Yan et al. model agreed best with the breakthrough curves having an R2 as high as 0.9917. Lastly, design parameters for a large-scale adsorption column were determined via scale-up approach using the parameters obtained from column runs.

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 can address CO2 emissions from distributed sources and produce CO2 from air virtually anywhere that it is needed. In this paper, the performance of a new radial flow reactor (RFR) for CO2 adsorption from ambient air is reported. The reactor uses a supported amine sorbent and is operated in a batch mode of operation or semi-continuously, respectively without or with sorbent circulation. The radial flow reactor, containing 2 kg of the adsorbent, is successfully scaled up from the experimental results obtained with a fixed bed reactor using only 1 g of the adsorbent. In the batch operation mode, the sorbent in the annular space of the RFR is regenerated in situ. With sorbent circulation, the RFR is loaded and unloaded batchwise and only used as an adsorber. A sorbent batch loaded with CO2 is transported to and regenerated in an external (fluid bed) regenerator. The RFR unit is characterized by a low contacting energy (0.7–1.5 GJ/ton-CO2) and a relatively short adsorption time (24–43 min) compared to other DAC processes using the same types of sorbents. The contactor concept is ready for further scale-up and continuous application.

Static Zone

Three solids flow models for gas – flowing solids – fixed bed contactors are analyzed. They all presume axial dispersion in the dynamic, freely flowing zone, but they differ in the interpretation of the stagnant zone. The models have been examined and the model parameters have been optimized on the basis of two types of tracer experiments. One provides step response curves for flowing solids at the exit and the other presents the response curves of the static flowing solids holdup. The model which assumes axial dispersion and exchange between dynamic and two active static zones, most accurately describes the solids flow pattern. A simpler model which presumes exchange between dynamic and one static zone can be used if there is no need for a precise description of the behavior of stagnant particles. The most simple axial dispersion model is not realistic, as it does not explain stagnancy at all, which was experimentally observed for the gas – flowing solids – fixed bed contactors.

Fixed-bed column studies for the removal of Ag(Ⅰ) and Cr(Ⅲ) from individual aqueous solutions using puffed rice husk were investigated in this work. The experiments were conducted to study the effect of important column parameters such as bed height, feed flow rate and feed initial concentration of solution. It was found that increasing bed depth yielded longer service time while increase in influent concentration and flow rate resulted in faster breakthrough. Bed Depth Service Time (BDST) model was applied to analyze the experimental data and the model parameters were evaluated. Good agreement of the experimental breakthrough curves with the model predictions was observed.
