An optimization method for enhancement of gas–liquid mass transfer in a bubble column reactor based on the entropy generation extremum principle

In this study,an optimization method is proposed to enhance the gas–liquid mass transfer in bubble column reactor based on the entropy generation extremum principle.The mass transfer–induced entropy generation can be maximized with the increase of mass transfer rate,based on which the velocity field can be optimized.The oxygen gas–liquid mass transfer is the major rate–limiting step of the toluene emissions biodegradation process in bubble column reactor,so the entropy generation due to oxygen mass transfer is used as the objective function,and the conservation equations of the gas–liquid flow and species concentration are taken as constraints.This optimization problem is solved by the calculus of variations,the optimal liquid flow pattern is obtained and the relationship of the maximum mass transfer enhancement on viscous dissipation is revealed,which can be used to improve the design of internal structure of the bubble column reactor.

Kinetics of the direct reaction between ozone and phenol by high-gravity intensified heterogeneous catalytic ozonation

In this study,high-gravity intensified heterogeneous catalytic ozonation is utilized for treatment of phenol-containing wastewater,and the kinetics of the direct reaction between ozone and phenol in the presence of excess tertiary butanol(TBA)is investigated.It is revealed that the direct reaction between ozone and phenol in the rotating packed bed(RPB)follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics with a reaction rate constant higher than that in the conventional bubbling reactor(BR).Under different conditions of temperature,initial pH,high-gravity factor,and gaseous ozone concentration,the apparent reaction rate constant varies in the range of 0.0160–0.115 min-1.An empirical power-exponential model is established to characterize the effects of these parameters on the direct reaction between ozone and phenol by high-gravity intensified heterogeneous catalytic ozonation.

A novel strategy for loading metal cocatalysts onto hollow nano-TiO_(2)inner surface with highly enhanced H_(2)production activity

The loading strategy of cocatalysts affects its activity exerting and atom utilization.Here,a novel strategy for loading precious metal(Pt)cocatalysts by means of ultrathin N-doped carbon layer is reported.The strategy is based on a pyrolysis process of predesigned N-containing polymers and Pt complexes on hard-template surface,during which Pt can be reduced by carbon from pyrolysis at high temperatures.Finally,the hollow TiO_(2)composite with stable and dispersed Pt on its inner surface was prepared.It shows an ultrahigh photocatalytic H_(2)production activity as high as 25.7 mmol h^(-1)g^(-1)with methanol as sacrificial regent,and displays an apparent quantum yield as 13.2%.The improved photocatalytic activity and stability can be attributed to the highly dispersed and ultrafine Pt nanoparticles,enhanced interaction between Pt-species and carbon support,fast photo-excited electron transport from the high graphitization degree of NC layers,ample oxygen vacancies/defects,as well as the manipulated local charge distribution of Pt/NC-layer configuration.Additionally,the universality of the proposed strategy was demonstrated by replacing metal sources(such as,Ru and Pd).This work presented a promising strategy for the design and development of novel photocatalysts,which shows a broad application prospect.

Applications of high-gravity technologies in gas purifications: A review

The traditional gas purification techniques such as wet gas desulfurization, with their advantages of large-scale implementation and maturity, have still been widely used. However, the main drawback of these techniques is the low transfer efficiency, which normally needs towers as tall as tens of meters to remove the pollutants. Therefore, new technologies which could enhance the mass transfer efficiency and are less energy-intensive are highly desirable. As a process intensification technology, high-gravity technology, which is carried out in a rotating packed bed(RPB), has recently demonstrated great potential for industrial applications due to its high mass transfer efficiency, energy-saving, and smaller volume. This consequently provides higher efficiency in toxic gas removal, and can significantly reduce the investment and operation costs. In this review, the mechanism,characteristics, recent developments, and the industry applications of high-gravity technologies in gas purifications, such as hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and nanoparticle removal are discussed, most of the demonstration projects and practical application examples in gas purification come from China. The perspective and prospective of this technology in gas purification and other fields are also briefly discussed.

Degradation and mineralization of aniline by O_3/Fenton process enhanced using high-gravity technology

The degradation and mineralization of aniline(AN) using ozone combined with Fenton reagent(O_3/Fenton) in a rotating packed bed(RPB) was proposed in this study, and the process(RPB-O_3/Fenton) was compared with conventional O_3/Fenton in a stirred tank reactor(STR-O_3/Fenton) or single ozonation in an RPB(RPB-O_3). Effects of high gravity factor, H_2O_2 dosage, H_2O_2 dosing method and initial p H on the AN mineralization efficiency were investigated in the RPB-O_3/Fenton process. In addition, the behavior of Fe(II) was monitored at different H2 O2 dosing methods and p H values. Finally, the optimal operation conditions were determined with high gravity factor of100, initial pH of 5, Fe(II) concentration of 0.8 mmol·L^(-1) and H_2O_2 dosage of 2.5 ml. Under these conditions, for aniline wastewater at the volume of 1 L and concentration of 200 mg·L^(-1), a fast and thorough decay of AN was conducted in 10 min, and the TOC removal efficiency reached 89% in 60 min. The main intermediates of p-benzoquinone, nitrobenzene, maleic acid and oxalic acid were identified by liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy(LC/MS), and the degradation pathways of AN in RPB-O_3/Fenton system were proposed based on experimental evidence. It could be envisioned that high-gravity technology combined with O_3/Fenton processes would be promising in the rapid and efficient mineralization of wastewater.

Mass transfer characteristics in a rotating packed bed with split packing

The rotating packed bed(RPB) with split packing is a novel gas–liquid contactor, which intensifies the mass transfer processes controlled by gas-side resistance. To assess its efficacy, the mass transfer characteristics with adjacent rings in counter-rotation and co-rotation modes in a split packing RPB were studied experimentally.The physical absorption system NH3–H2O was used for characterizing the gas volumetric mass transfer coefficient(kyae) and the effective interfacial area(ae) was determined by chemical absorption in the CO2–NaO H system. The variation in kyaeand aewith the operating conditions is also investigated. The experimental results indicated that kyaeand aefor counter-rotation of the adjacent packing rings in the split packing RPB were higher than those for co-rotation, and both counter-rotation and co-rotation of the split packing RPB were superior over conventional RPBs under the similar operating conditions.

This study investigated catalytic decomposition and mass transfer of aqueous ozone promoted by Fe-MnCu/γ-Al_(2)O_(3)(Cat)in a rotating packed bed(RPB)for the first time.The results showed that the value of the overall decomposition rate constant of ozone(K_(c))and overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient(K_(L)a)are 4.28×10^(-3) s^(-1) and 11.60×10^(-3) s^(-1) respectively at an initial pH of 6,βof 40,Co3(g)of 60 mg·L^(-1)and Q_(L) of 85 L·h^(-1) in deionized water,respectively.Meanwhile,the K_(c) and K_(L)a values of Fenhe water are0.88×10^(-3) s^(-1) and 2.51×10^(-3) s^(-1) lower than deionized water,respectively.In addition,the K_(c) and K_(L)a values in deionized water for the Cat/O_(3)-RPB system are 44.86%and 47.41%higher than that for the Cat/O_(3)-BR(bubbling reactor)system,respectively,indicating that the high gravity technology can facilitate the decomposition and mass transfer of ozone in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation and provide some insights into the industrial wastewater.

Numerical simulation and experimental study of the characteristics of packing feature size on liquid flow in a rotating packed bed

Rotating packed bed has high efficiency of gas-liquid mass transfer.So it is significant to investigate fluid motion in rotating packed bed.Numerical simulations of the effects of packing feature size on liquid flow characteristics in a rotating packed bed are reported in this paper.The particle image velocimetry is compared with the numerical simulations to validate the turbulent model.Results show that the liquid exists in the packing zone in the form of droplet and liquid line,and the cavity is droplet.When the radial thickness of the packing is less than 0.101 m,liquid line and droplets appear in the cavity.When rotational speed and radial thickness of the packing increase,the average diameter of the droplets becomes smaller,and the droplet size distribution becomes uniform.As the initial velocity of the liquid increases,the average droplet diameter increases and the uniformity of particle size distribution become worse.The droplet velocity increases with the radial thickness of the packing increasing,and gradually decreases when it reaches the cavity region.The effect of packing thickness is most substantial through linear fitting.The predicted and simulated values are within±15%.The cumulative volume distribution curves of the experimental and simulated droplets are consistent with the R-R distribution.

Degradation of nitrobenzene-containing wastewater by sequential nanoscale zero valent iron-persulfate process

As nitrobenzene(NB)is structurally stable and difficult to degrade due to the presence of an electron withdrawing group(nitro group).The sequential nanoscale zero valent iron-persulfate(NZVI-Na_(2)S_(2)O_(8))process was proposed in this study for the degradation NB-containing wastewater.The results showed that the NB degradation efficiency and the total organic carbon removal efficiency in the sequential NZVINa_(2)S_(2)O_(8)process were 100%and 49.25%,respectively,at a NB concentration of 200 mg L^(-1),a NZVI concentration of 0.75 g L^(-1),a Na_(2)S_(2)O_(8)concentration of 26.8 mmol L^(-1),an initial pH of 5,and a reaction time of 30 min,which were higher than those(88.53%and 35.24%,respectively)obtained in the NZVI/Na_(2)S_(2)O_(8)process.Sulfate radicals(SO_(4)·-)and hydroxyl radicals(·OH)generated in the reaction were identified directly by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and indirectly by radical capture experiments,and it was shown that both SO_(4)^(·-)and·OH played a major role in the sequential NZVI-Na_(2)S_(2)O_(8)process.The possible pathways involved in the reduction of NB to aniline(AN)and the further oxidative degradation of AN were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Oxidation of benzyl alcohols to ketones and aldehydes by O3 process enhanced using high-gravity technology

In this study,a practical process for ozonization of benzyl alcohols to ketones and aldehydes in a rotating packed bed(RPB-O3)reactor has been developed.Using 1-phenylethanol as a model reactant,the performance of RPB-O3 process in different solvents has been compared with the commonly used stirred tank reactor(STR-O3).Ethyl acetate was the optimum solvent for the conversion of 1-phenylenthanol to acetophenone in RPB-O3 process,with 78%yield after 30 min.In a parallel STR-O3 experiment,the yield of acetophenone was50%.Other experimental variables,i.e.O3 concentration,reaction time,high-gravity factor and liquid flow rate were also optimized.The highest yield of acetophenone was obtained using O3 concentration of 80 mg·L-1,reaction time of 30 min,high gravity factor of 40 and liquid flow rate of 120 L·h-1.Under the optimized reaction conditions,a series of structurally diverse primary and secondary alcohols was oxidized with(19%–92%)yield.The ozonization mechanism was studied by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance(EPR)spectroscopy,monitoring the radical species formed upon self-decomposition of O3.The characteristic quadruple peak with the 1:2:2:1 intensity ratio that corresponds to hydroxyl radicals(·OH)was observed in the electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)spectrum,indicating an indirect oxidation mechanism of alcohols via·OH radical.

Removal of nitric oxide from simulated flue gas using aqueous persulfate with activation of ferrous ethylenediaminetetraacetate in the rotating packed bed

Nitric oxide being a major gas pollutant has attracted much attention and various technologies have been developed to reduce NO emission to preserve the environment.Advanced persulfate oxidation technology is a workable and effective choice for wet flue gas denitrification due to its high efficiency and green advantages.However,NO absorption rate is limited and affected by mass transfer limitation of NO and aqueous persulfate in traditional reactors.In this study,a rotating packed bed(RPB)was employed as a gas-liquid absorption device to elevate the NO removal efficiency(η_(NO))by aqueous persulfate((NH_(4))_(2)S_(2)O_(8))activated by ferrous ethylenediaminetetraacetate(Fe^(^(2+))-EDTA).The experimental results regarding the NO absorption were obtained by investigating the effect of various operating parameters on the removal efficiency of NO in RPB.Increasing the concentration of(NH_(4))_(2)S_(2)O_(8) and liquid-gas ratio could promoted the oxidation and absorption of NO while theη_(NO) decreased with the increase of the gas flow and NO concentration.In addition,improving the high gravity factor increased theη_(NO) and the total volumetric mass transfer coefficient(K_(G)α )which raise theη_(NO) up to more than 75%under the investigated system.These observations proved that the RPB can enhance the gas-liquid mass transfer process in NO absorption.The correlation formula between K_(G)α and the influencing factors was determined by regression calculation,which is used to guide the industrial scale-up application of the system in NO removal.The presence of O_(2) also had a negative effect on the NO removal process and through electron spin resonance spectrometer detection and product analysis,it was revealed that Fe^(2+)-EDTA activated(NH_(4))2S_(2)O_(8) to produce•SO_(4)^(-),•OH and•O_(2)^(-),played a leading role in the oxidation of NO,to produce NO_(3)^(-)as the final product.The obtained results demonstrated a good applicable potential of RPB/PS/Fe^(2+)-EDTA in the removal of NO from flue gases.

Kinetics and mechanism of nitrobenzene degradation by hydroxyl radicals-based ozonation process enhanced by high gravity technology

This study investigated the indirect oxidation of nitrobenzene(NB)by hydroxyl radicals(·OH)in a rotating packed bed(RPB)using competitive kinetics method with p-nitrochlorobenzene as a reference compound.The rate constants of NB with·OH are calculated to be between(1.465±0.113)×10^(9)L/(mol·s)and(2.497±0.192)×10^(9)L/(mol·s).The experimental data are fitted by the modified Arrhenius equation,where the activation energy is 4877.74 J/mol,the order of NB concentration,rotation speed,and initial pH is 0.2425,0.1400 and 0.0167,respectively.The ozonation process of NB could be enhanced by RPB,which is especially effective for highly concentrated NB-containing waste-water under alkaline conditions.The high gravity technology can accelerate ozone mass transfer and self-decomposition of ozone to produce more·OH,resulting in an increase in the indirect oxidation rate of NB by·OH and consequently effective degradation of NB in wastewater.

High-gravity intensified iron-carbon micro-electrolysis for degradation of dinitrotoluene

The application of iron–carbon(Fe–C)micro-electrolysis to wastewater treatment is limited by the passivation potential of the Fe–C packing.In order to address this problem,high-gravity intensified Fe–C micro-electrolysis was proposed in this study for degradation of dinitrotoluene wastewater in a rotating packed bed(RPB)using commercial Fe–C particles as the packing.The effects of reaction time,high-gravity factor,liquid flow rate and initial solution pH were investigated.The degradation intermediates were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry,and the possible degradation pathways of nitro compounds by Fe–C micro-electrolysis in RPB were also proposed.It is found that under optimal conditions,the removal rate of nitro compounds reaches 68.4%at 100 min.The removal rate is maintained at approximately 68%after 4 cycles in RPB,but it is decreased substantially from 57.9%to 36.8%in a stirred tank reactor.This is because RPB can increase the specific surface area and the renewal of the liquid–solid interface,and as a result the degradation efficiency of Fe–C micro-electrolysis is improved and the active sites on the Fe–C surface can be regenerated for continuous use.In conclusion,high-gravity intensified Fe–C micro-electrolysis can weaken the passivation of Fe–C particles and extend their service life.

Octane compositions in sulfuric acid catalyzed isobutane/butene alkylation products:experimental and quantum chemistry studies

Octanes in alkylation products obtained from industrial alkylation were studied by batch experiments.More than eight octane isomers were identified and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.Based on a classic carbenium ion mechanism,the carbocation transition states in concentrated sulfuric acid catalyzed alkylation were investigated using quantum-chemical simulations and predicted the concentration and octane isomerization products including trimethylpentane and dimethylhexane as well as the formation of heavier compounds that resulted from the oligomerization of octane and butene.The agreement between model calculations and experimental data was quite satisfactory.Calculation results indicated that composition and content of trimethylpentanes in the alkylation products were 2,2,4-trimethylpentane>2,3,3-trimethylpentane>2,3,4-trimethylpentane>2,2,3-trimethylpentane whether the 2-butene or i-butene acts as olefin.Heavier compounds in the alkylate were primarily formed by the oligomerization of dimethylhexane with 1-butene.Hopefully,the carbocation transition state models developed in this work will be useful for understanding the product distributions of octane in alkylation products.
