Abstract Decolorization of dye waste water is performed using a Tubular Electrochemical Reactor. Stainless steel and oxide coated on titanium mesh acts as the cathode and anode respectively. Experiments were conducted in batch with recirculation mode. The effect of operating parameters such as current density, initial dye concentration, flow rate and supporting electrolyte concentration on decolorization of Acid red dye has been studied and the results were analysed using Taguchi Method. A Residence Time Distribution (RTD) study has been conducted in a Tubular electro chemical reactor and an axial dispersion model has been developed to determine percentage decolorization. The model results are compared with experimental results and it was found that the model satisfactorily matches with the experimental results with high correlation coefficient.

In order to make a further understanding of flow pattern and back mixing in the flotation process, the study about particle residence time distribution of collection zone in a packed column has been designed. The pulse tracer method was applied and the particle tracers were the mineral gangue in special size class. The residence time distribution curves of our experiment data shows that there are particle back mixings which were caused by fluid flow and geometry factors in the column. The tank-in-series model has a better fitting to the particle residence time distribution in the column according the comparison research between the tank-in-series model and axial dispersion model. The operation parameters have different effects on the particle residence time distribution according to our experimental study.

Over recent years Twin-Screw-Extrusion (TSE) has been established as a platform technology for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Compared to other continuous operation, one of the major benefits of this method is the combination of several unit operations within one apparatus. Several of these are linked to the Residence Time Distribution (RTD), which is typically expressed by the residence time density function. One relevant aspect for pharmaceutical processes is the mixing capacity, which is represented by the width of this distribution. In the frame of this study the influence of the mass flow, the temperature and the screw-barrel clearance were investigated for a constant barrel load (specific feed load, SFL). While the total mass flow as well as the external screw diameter affected the mixing performance, the barrel temperature had no influence for the investigated range. The determined results were additionally evaluated with respect to a fit to the Twin-Dispersion-Model (TDM). This model is based on the superimposition of two mixing functions. The correlations between varied process parameters and the obtained characteristic model parameters proved this general physical view on extrusion.

This paper focuses on understanding the electrolyte flow characteristics in a typical packed-bed electrochemical reactor using Residence Time Distribution (RTD) studies. RTD behavior was critically analyzed using tracer studies at various flow rates, initially under nonelectrolyzing conditions. Validation of these results using available theoretical models was carried out. Significant disparity in RTD curves under electrolyzing conditions was examined and details are recorded. Finally, a suitable mathematical model (Modified Dispersed Plug Flow Model (MDPFM)) was developed for validating these results under electrolyzing conditions.

The residence time distribution of LTCC microreactors was investigated depending on flow rates and fluid viscosities. A pulse trace experiment was used for monitoring the tracer signals before and behind the microreactors. The tracer signals were measured by use of micro flow-through photometers without disturbing the liquid flow. Therefore, the micro photometers were mounted directly onto FEP tubings. The residence time distribution (RTD) was determined by calculation of the dispersion model using the inlet and outlet tracer profiles. The RTD of a LTCC micro mixer and a LTCC plain meandered channel mixer were determined in the flow rate range between 50 μL/min and 3 000 μL/min using water and aqueous glycerol mixtures up to a glycerol content of 50%. Received data were compared with a PTFE tube (1 mm internal diameter) as reference. A complex relation of determined RTDs between the Reynolds number (Re) and the fluid viscosities was found. A significant non-monotonous effect of the fluid viscosity was observed. The RTD as well as the tailing behavior indicates clearly viscosity-dependent changes in the fluid regime and transport mechanisms.

In this work, flow patterns within an annular chemical reactor were characterized. The reactor was modeled by a cascade of communicating Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTRs) exchanging flow rates of variable intensities. Mixing time and Residence Time Distribution measurements were used as basis for flow modeling. A Matlab computer code has been developed to predict the exchanged flow rates through the minimization of an objective function. This paper describes the parameter estimation technique which is based on the Gauss-Newton method with a linear search algorithm. Only two opposite flow rates between reactor compartments were assumed and were identified for various mixing conditions. For the studied cases, the predicted responses were close to the experimental measurements.

AbstractThe hydrodynamic of modified up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) treating organic fraction of municipal solids wastes (OFMSW) was investigated using tracer test experiments and residence time distribution (RTD) based models. The modified UASB digester employing the up-flow reactor concept was composed of the sludge bed, localized at the bottom of the reactor, a buffer zone above the sludge bed, a section with the OFMSW, and an upper section with a solid–liquid–gas separator. The solid-state section with the OFMSW allows the separation of hydrolytic and methanogenic phases, reducing the acidification of the reactor. The hydraulic flow transports the faster biodegradable fraction from the packing section to the sludge bed, favoring the methane productivity. Residence time distribution curves were analyzed by three tracer test models (axial dispersion model ADM, tanks in series model TIS and a multiple parameter model MPM). The MPM was successfully fitted to the experimental data.
