Process Intensification of Steel Slag Carbonation via a Rotating Packed Bed: Reaction Kinetics and Mass Transfer

Electron-transfer-initiated benzoin- and Stetter-like reactions in packed-bed reactors for process intensification

A convenient heterogeneous continuous-flow procedure for the polarity reversal of aromatic α-diketones is presented. Propaedeutic batch experiments have been initially performed to select the optimal supported base capable to initiate the two electron-transfer process from the carbamoyl anion of the N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent to the α-diketone and generate the corresponding enediolate ...

Carbon Dioxide Sequestration by Carbonation of Steel Slag

CO2 Removal from Air in a Countercurrent Rotating Packed Bed, Experimental Determination of Height of Transfer Unit

Carbon dioxide capture is a key issue in climate change mitigation. For decades the removal of carbon dioxide has been an essential step in many industrial processing operations such as the synthesis of ammonia, natural gas purification, and oil refining. In this study, a rotating packed bed has been designed for absorption of carbon dioxide from an air stream. The rotating packed bed is a comp...

Optimal synthesis of rotating packed bed reactor

Rotating packed bed (RPB), a novel apparatus involving process intensification (PI), has been successfully used in the chemical industry in recent decades. In this paper, we establish a connection between process integration and process intensification for which we propose a superstructure involving a RPB and a packed bed (PB) in order to determine the optimal integrated design. We describe mod...

Effect of Gas Velocity Distribution on Heat Recovery Process in Packed Bed of Plate-Shaped Slag

A new twin-roll continuous slag solidification process and heat recovery process from a slag packed bed was developed for utilization of the waste heat of steelmaking slag. Plate-shaped slag with the thickness about 7 mm was successfully produced in a pilot plant, and the sensible heat of the slag was recovered by blowing air into the slag chamber. However, the gas distribution inside the slag ...
