In this research work Haber process was employed to examine the reliability of the functional parameters and coefficient on ammonia production using the fixed bed reactor with hydrogen gas and nitrogen used as the main source of the reactant. Mathematical models were developed to monitor and predict the effectiveness factors, nitrogen fractional conversion, temperature, component mole fraction, hydrogen mole fraction, and ammonia mole fraction profile for the various cases considered during the investigation. The simulated parameters for case 1, 2 and 3 for components of total feed flow, pressure, reactor bed volume and feed composition influence the reliability of the functional parameters and the coefficient of the fixed bed reactor for optimum yield of ammonia. The developed models were simulated using Matlab program to evaluate the functional parameters and the results obtained from the system in terms of optimum yield factor indicate 30% to 34% increase in ammonia production. The increase in the performance evaluation concept revealed the reliability of the developed model in monitoring and predicting the rate of production of ammonia in a fixed bed reactor.

Light gases were produced from biomass tar gasification using limonite and dolomite as catalysts. Experiments were performed in a fixed bed reactor with the gasification temperatures of 600–800 °C. Limonite gave the obvious effect on the tar gasification, and the light gases of hydrogen and carbon oxides were mainly obtained. Also, the gas yields depended on the catalytic temperature. Hydrogen yields tend to increasing with temperatures from 650 to 800 °C. The reaction equilibrium was changed by dolomite addition in the reactor system; hydrogen gas was doubled with the limonite and dolomite mixture compared to limonite only.

Pt-zeolite catalyst has been prepared by immersing a sample of zeolite in PtCl4 solution. After separation, the sample was dried and calcinated at 550 °C for 4 hours under nitrogen stream. Furthermore, the sample was oxidized with oxygen gas at 350 °C for 2 hours and reduced with hydrogen gas at 400 °C for 2 hours. Total amount of impregnated metal, acidity and surface are of the samples were determined by using atomic absorption spectrophotometric, gravimetric and gas sorption methods, respectively. The activity test was done in a fixed bed reactor and the results of the reaction were analyzed by using gas chromatograph. The result of the characterization showed that the higher total amount of impregnated metal, the lower the surface area and total volume of pores. The acidity and the catalyst activity increase with the increasing of the total amount of impregnated metal. The flow rate of feed and temperature reaction also influence yield conversion. The optimum yield of n-octanol conversion was obtained at 400 °C with the showest flow rate of n-octanol and flow rate of H2 gas was equal to 40 mL/minute.

Retention Capacity

Hydrogen sulfide sorption activities of manganese oxide and Mn-Fe-Cu mixed oxide sorbents were examined in a fixed bed reactor. Sulfur retention capacity of Mn-O sorbent was found to be quite high at 600 °C both in the absence and presence of hydrogen gas (0.17 and 0.14 g S/g sorbent, respectively). This sorbent has a high porosity and a relatively high surface area. Best regeneration temperature of this sorbent was found as 700 °C, with a gas stream containing 6% oxygen in nitrogen. Mn-Fe-Cu mixed oxide sorbent had a lower sulfur retention capacity (0.07 g S/g sorbent). However, both of these sorbents gave quite high initial sorption rate constants, resulting very sharp breakthrough curves. Deactivation model was shown to give good agreement with the experimental H2S breakthrough curves.

 Increasing demand on olefins, high energy consumption of thermal cracking and oil depletion are the driving force to find new process to produce olefins. Catalytic cracking of n-butane is promising route to produce olefins. In this paper, we synthesized nanoparticle from natural zeolites by ball milling-recrystallization method and studied the effect of acid dealumination over the nanozeolites on the catalytic properties. Particle size was evaluated visually by using scanning electron microscope.  X-Ray Diffraction analysis was performed to study zeolites phase and its crystallinity. Acid dealumination effect over nanosized mordenite on the acidity were evaluated by ammonia TPD and pyridine FTIR. Textural properties of zeolites were characterized by nitrogen physisorption at -196 oC. The catalysts were tested in a fixed bed reactor for n-butane cracking to olefins product. Various temperature conditions were applied ranging from 350 oC to 650 oC for n-butane cracking in a fixed bed reactor. Conversions of n-butane were 15% and 90% at 350 oC and 650 oC, respectively. Selectivity to olefins was increase from 1% at 350 oC to 47% at 650 oC.

<p>Production of CO-rich hydrogen gas from methane dry reforming was investigated over CeO<sub>2</sub>-supported Co catalyst. The catalyst was synthesized by wet impregnation and subsequently characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), liquid N<sub>2</sub> adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for the structure, surface and thermal properties. The catalytic activity test of the Co/CeO<sub>2</sub> was investigated between 923-1023 K under reaction conditions in a stainless steel fixed bed reactor. The composition of the products (CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>) from the methane dry reforming reaction was measured by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with thermal conductivity detector (TCD). The effects of feed ratios and reaction temperatures were investigated on the catalytic activity toward product selectivity, yield, and syngas ratio. Significantly, the selectivity and yield of both H<sub>2</sub> and CO increases with feed ratio and temperature. However, the catalyst shows higher activity towards CO selectivity. The highest H<sub>2</sub> and CO selectivity of 19.56% and 20.95% respectively were obtained at 1023 K while the highest yield of 41.98% and 38.05% were recorded for H<sub>2</sub> and CO under the same condition.

Pyrolysis Of Biomass

Due to the rapid growth of energy consumption, fossil-based fuel is at the verge of extinction. Hence, the world needs new energy to substitute for the non-renewable energy resources. Various biomass resources have been discussed by virtue of the ability of generating alternative fuels, chemicals and energy-related products. To date, the utilization of biomass is mainly thermochemical conversion which involves combustion, gasification and pyrolysis. The focus, currently, is on the catalytic pyrolysis of biomass. A variety of reactors are designed and many new catalysts for the yields of liquid products and upgrading of bio-oil are investigated. Different reactors have their own unique characteristics, and fixed bed reactor is not complicated and can be controlled easily but is difficult to upsize. Fluidized bed has a good suitability for different kinds of biomass but is more complex in structure and more difficult to control. Compared with non-catalytic pyrolysis, the quality of bio-oil improves considerably in the presence of a catalyst. Different catalysts exert different effects on the upgrading of bio-oil. HZSM-5 can reduce a vast output of acid compounds and increases hydrocarbon yields. Au/Al2O3 catalyst leads to an increase of H2 yield. All the catalysts can promote the upgrading of pyrolysis products. Optimal yields and the best quality of bio-oil can be obtained by an appropriate reactor with a proper catalyst.

The lateritic soils collected from a tea garden were used to explore the regeneration process using different O2 contents for high-temperature desulfurization. The desulfurization and regeneration experiments were carried out using a fixed-bed reactor at 500°C and the gaseous mixture composed of 1% H2S, 25% CO, 15% H2, and balance N2 for the desulfurization process. Experimental results showed that the regenerability is better when the air was used as a regeneration gas and the regeneration time is shortened. Multiple regeneration experiments indicated that lateritic soils can be regenerated by passing air and can thus be reused many times and its regeneration efficiency is slightly better than that regenerated by 1% O2. The sulfur capacity after air desulfurization/regeneration cycles was examined by elemental analysis with a value ranging from 1.40% to 1.49%, and residual sulfur was detected with a value of 0.12% after the diluted 1% O2 regeneration. No sulfur was detected for the regenerated lateritic soil after air regeneration. From NMR structural identification, the 6-coordinated octahedral structure of Al and trioctahedral coordinated Si are the major Al-containing and Si-containing compounds. Broad shoulder peaks were detected after regeneration process that may be associated with the formation of aluminosilicate and further reduces the dispersion of iron on the surface of lateritic soils.

Carbon Blacks

The medium temperature pyrolysis process using a fixed-bed reactor at atmospheric pressure was utilised to recover carbon black from motorcycle and automobile tyres. Experimental results have shown that the ash and volatile contents of several recovered carbon blacks are high, the elongation at break of the vulcanised natural rubber filled with recovered carbon blacks from motorcycle tyres is better than that from motorcycle tyres and standard carbon black 7#, while the other mechanical properties are worse. In order to improve the reinforcing effect of recovered carbon blacks, the modification of recovered carbon black was performed by high-energy electron bombardment and non-oxidising acid. The specific surface area of the pyrolytic carbon blacks increased after high-energy electron bombardment. The ash content of the pyrolytic carbon black was reduced from 22.5% to 8.4% after rinsing with hydrochloric acid, and the tensile stress at 300% was increased by about 2.2 MPa.
