The performance of a fixed-bed and entrained flow reactor for the sorption-enhanced methanol synthesis from CO2 is assessed by modelling. Both reactors achieve good but show possible drawbacks. fixed bed requires several units working in parallel, while needs large volume due to high superficial particle velocity. We propose new type, which combines circulating sorbent with fluidized catalyst b...

C2+ hydrocarbons are selectively produced in one-step catalytic CO2 conversion via designing the catalyst-bed configuration under non-thermal DBD plasma operating at low temperature and atmospheric pressure.

Treatment of industrial waste water (e.g. textile waste water, phenol waste water, pharmaceutical etc) faces limitation in conventional treatment procedures. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) do not suffer from the limits of conventional treatment processes and consequently degrade toxic pollutants more efficiently. Complexity is faced in eradicating the restrictions of AOPs such as sludge fo...

Reliable Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of processes for valorization CO2-rich off-gas streams requires multidisciplinary contributions that span the development active and selective catalysts, reactor design, plant modeling optimization, as well environmental impact analysis. Herein, we present design study a CO2 through methanol-mediated (tandem) hydrogenation to light hydrocarbons, with propane...

An optimal continuous production of biodiesel by methanolysis of soybean oil in a packed-bed reactor was developed using immobilized lipase (Novozym 435) as a catalyst in a tert-butanol solvent system. Response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken design were employed to evaluate the effects of reaction temperature, flow rate, and substrate molar ratio on the molar conversion of biodiesel....

Based on a global kinetics of direct dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis process from syngas, a steady-state one-dimensional mathematical model for the bubble column slurry reactor (BCSR) has been established. It was built on the assumption of plug flow of gas phase, sedimentation-dispersion model of catalyst grains and isothermal chamber regardless of reaction heats and rates for the design of an i...

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a promising route for production of light olefins via CO hydrogenation over transition metals. Co is one of the most active metals for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Some different variables such as preparation parameters and operational factors can strongly affect the selectivity of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis toward the special products. In the case of preparat...

The E. coli inactivation using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and cobalt ferrite granulated catalyst was investigated in a fixed-bed flow reactor. CoFe2O4 synthesized by the co-precipitation method, granulated, annealed at 1150°C. X-ray diffraction analysis used to identify crystal structure of catalyst. demonstrates good catalytic activity for bacteria presence H2O2. An increase concentration increa...

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is one of the most important catalytic reactions that convert the synthetic gas to light and heavy hydrocarbons. One of the main issues is selecting the type of reactor. The slurry bubble reactor is suitable choice for FischerTropsch synthesis because of its good qualification to transfer heat and mass, high durability of catalyst, low cost maintenance and repair. The ...
