Flow-Through PolyHIPE Silver-Based Catalytic Reactor

Catalytic Kinetic Determination of Silver through its Catalytic Effect on Congo Red-Peroxodisulphate Reaction

A kinetic-spectrophotometric procedure is reported for determination of trace amounts of Ag(I). This method is based on catalytic effect of silver ion on the oxidation of congo red by potassium peroxodisulphate at pH=3.4 and 30 oC in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline as an activator. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the rate of change in absorbance ...

Model predictive control of a catalytic reverse flow reactor

Analysis and Control of Catalytic Flow Reversal Reactor

In this paper, we study the closed loop control of Catalytic Flow Reversal Reactors (CFRR) used for oxidation of methane. We present different techniques like logic-based control, scheduling and model predictive control. Comparison of the relative performances of these methods in maximizing the conversion while maintaining the CFRR in the desired region of operation is made. We also analyze the...

Multivariable model predictive control of a catalytic reverse flow reactor

This paper is devoted to the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) model predictive control (MPC) of a catalytic reverse flow reactor (RFR). The RFR aims to reduce, by catalytic reaction, the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released in the atmosphere. The peculiarity of this process is that the gas flow inside the reactor is periodically reversed in order to trap the heat released d...
