The effects of the nickel source,Ni loading, calcination time, and calcination temperature on the hydrogenation performance were studied. The experimental results showed that the Ni/γ-Al_2O_3 catalyst demonstrated the highest catalytic performance under the preparation conditions by using nickel nitrate as the nickel source with a NiO loading of 20%, followed by calcination at 440°C for 5h. In addition,this catalyst showed the largest specific surface area, best crystal structure, highest active component content, smallest particle size, and uniform distribution of NiO on the surface of the carrier. The nickel-based catalyst prepared using the optimized conditions exhibited a 96.1% conversion of methyl isobutyl ketone, with a methyl isobutyl carbinol selectivity of 99.6%. The described procedure is very effective for the preparation of methyl isobutyl carbinol using methyl isobutyl ketone as the feedstock.展开更多

They occur in nature and in many industrial applications, such as oil transportation in pipelines and steam generators for power generation. Due to large difference in density between gas and liquid, the flottability force causes bubbles to rise, which in turn can generate overall motion and agitation in liquid. This use of gravity as a flow driver, which is specific to disperse phase systems, is used in process engineering (bubble columns and gasosiphon) to sparingly promote mixing and exchange between gas and liquid. In many applications, bubbles are used to agitate a liquid in order to promote mixing and transfers. This work is devoted to study of hydrodynamics of a bubble column. Experimentally, we have determined properties fluctuations of velocities inside the aquarium of rising homogeneous bubbles for different bubble sizes and vacuum rates. The interfacial area between gas and liquid phase is a crucial factor for mass transfer in bubble columns. The molecular exchange between a given volume of gas and water can be enhanced by formation of smaller bubbles, leading to a larger gas-liquid interface. This work presents the various physical phenomena that apply to bubbles, as well as associated dimensionless numbers. A state art of Micro-Bubble Generators (MBG) is then presented, presenting systems using various phenomena such as cavitation, electrolysis, or shear.展开更多

It leads to the development of innovative airlift column operated under depression. Sea water clarification by bubble column is well documented, but for freshwater remains insufficiently studied. Extraction of suspended clay particles in freshwater is carried out in an airlift column. The system used is under depression and operates in a closed circuit, thanks to a recirculation tank. Methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) and soluble casein are used as surfactants to allow extraction. Clay used is fine and ultra-ventilated and a turbidimeter is used to measure turbidity. This study showed that the combined use of methyl isobutyl carbinol and casein in the airlift column makes it possible to completely clarify water loaded with clay particles. A turbidity of less than 1 NTU is obtained after 30 minutes of extraction.展开更多
