Experimental Investigation of Single-phase Flow in Structured Packing by LDV

To date, many models have been developed to calculate the flow field in the structured packing by the computational fluid dynamics （CFD） technique, but little experimental work has been carried out to serve the vali-dation of flow simulation. In this work, the velocity profiles of single-phase flow in structured packing are measured at the Reynolds numbers of 20.0, 55.7 and 520.1, using the laser Doppler velocimetry （LDV）. The time-averaged and instantaneous velocities of three components are obtained simultaneously. The CFD simulation is also carried out to numerically predict the velocity distribution within the structured packing. Comparison shows that the flow pattern, velocity distribution and turbulent kinetic energy （for turbulent flow） on the horizontal plane predicted by CFD simulation are in good agreement with the LDV measured data. The values of the x-and z-velocity components are quantitatively well predicted over the plane in the center of the packing, but the predicted y-component is sig-nificantly smaller than the experimental data. It can be concluded that experimental measurement is important for further improvement of CFD model.

Facilitated Transport of CO2 Through Synthetic Polymeric Membranes

Two kinds of fixed carrier membrane materials containing secondary amine and carboxyl groups whichcan be used as carriers of CO2 were prepared. One was poly(N-vinyl-γ-sodium aminobutyrate)(PVSA), whichwas obtained through the hydrolysis of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) synthesized with N-vinylpyrrolidone(NVP) byradical polymerization. The other was poly(N-vinyl-γ-sodium aminobutyrate-co-sodium acrylate)(VSA-SA), whichwas obtained through the hydrolysis of copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and acrylamide(AAm) (NVP-AAm). Thecomposite membranes were developed with PVSA or VSA-SA as active layer and polysulfone (PS) as supportmembranes. The permeation rates of pure CO2 and CH4 gas as well as binary mixtures of CO2/CH4 throughthe composite membranes were measured. The results show that the composite membranes present better CO2permeation rates than other fixed carrier membranes do reported in literature. For example, at 26℃, 1330 Pa of CO2pressure, the PVSA/PS composite membrane displays a CO2 permeation rate of 5.95 × 10-7 cm3.cm-2.s-1.pa-1with CO2/CH4 ideal separation factor of 212.1. At 20℃, 6400Pa of CO2 pressure, the VSA-SA/PS compositemembrane displays a CO2 permeation rate of 4.24 × 10-8 cm3@cm-2.s-1.Pa-1 with CO2/CH4 ideal separationfactor of 429.7. The results with the gas mixtures are not as good as those obtained with pure gas because ofthe coupling effects between CO2 and CH4. The heat cross-linked membrane shows good separation factor due todensification of the polymer.

An economic and effective method of preparing enriched 10B boric acid was established by chemical reactionof enriched 10BF3 and CaCO3. A process of boron trifluoride reacting with water was investigated under certainconditions. Calcium carbonate was selected to counteract hydrofluoric acid followed on. Some key operation factorswere investigated, such as temperature, reaction time and the ratio of CaCO3 to 10BF3.

An Experimental Simulation of Load-Leveling Through Adsorption for Natural Gas Pipeline System

A load-leveling method through adsorption was presented to adjust the supply quantity according to the consumption rate of natural gas with time. An experimental simulation set up was designed and used to test the load-leveling function for a real pipeline system. A storage tank filled with activated carbon together with a filter constitutes the major part of the load-leveling facility. Pressure and temperature of the system, as well as the real gas output of the storage tank were recorded. It is proven that load-leveling by adsorption is technically feasible even for low pipeline pressure of natural gas supply system.

A mathematical model of nitrogen oxide （NOx） absorption is adopted and solved for adiabatic operation of a column with structured packings on the basis of the film theory. Removal rate, outlet concentration, oxidation degree of NOx and outlet acid concentration, liquid acid temperature are simulated and tested. The gas phase reactions and equilibria, gas phase mass transfer, interracial equilibria, and liquid phase reactions are considered in the model. Absorption of nitrogen oxides is studied in packed with Mellapak 250Y columns in series in an industrial process of 20000 t oxalic acid per year. Favorable agreement is shown between the model predictions and the on-site observations.

Separation of Benzene and Cyclohexane by Batch Extractive Distillation

Azeotropic liquid mixture cannot be separated by conventional distillation. But extractive distillation or combination of the two can be valid for them. An experiment to separate benzene and cyclohexane by batch extractive distillation was carried out with N, N-dimethylformide （DMF）, dime- thyl sulfoxide （DMSO） and their mixture as extractive solvent. The effect of the operation parameters such as solvent flow rate and reflux ratio on the separation was studied under the same operating conditions. The results show that the separation effect was improved with the increase of solvent flow rate and the reflux ratio; all the three extractive solvents can separate benzene and cyciohexane, with DMF being the most efficient one, the mixture the second, and DMSO the least. In the experiment the best operation conditions are with DMF as extractive solvent, the solvent flow rate being 12.33 mUmin, and the reflux ratio being 6. As a result, we can get cyclohexane from the top of tower with the average product content being 86.98%, and its recovering ratio being 83.10%.

Reactor Network Synthesis Based on Instantaneous Objective Function Characteristic Curves

It is believed that whether the instantaneous objective function curves of plug-flow-reactor (PFR) and continuous-stirred-tank-reactor (CSTR) overlap or not, they have a consistent changing trend for complex reactions (steady state, isothermal and constant volume). As a result of the relation of the objective functions (selectivity or yield) to the instantaneous objective functions (instantaneous selectivity or instantaneous reaction rate), the optimal reactor network configuration can be determined according to the changing trend of the instantaneous objective function curves. Further, a recent partition strategy for the reactor network synthesis based on the instantaneous objective function characteristic curves is proposed by extending the attainable region partition strategy from the concentration space to the instantaneous objective function-unreacted fraction of key reactant space. In this paper, the instantaneous objective function is closed to be the instantaneous selectivity and several samples are examined to illustrate the proposed method. The comparison with the previous work indicates it is a very convenient and practical systematic tool of the reactor network synthesis and seems also promising for overcoming the dimension limit of the attainable region partition strategy in the concentration space.

Experimental Study on Local Mass Transfer of Structured Packing with the Method of Flow Visualization

A chromochemical reactive mass transfer technique has been employed to study local mass transfer characteristics of structured packing. This technology adopted by experiment is an Ammonia Adsorption Method （AAM） that yields the surface distribution of transferred mass by analyzing the color distribution on a filter paper with the results of the color chemical reaction. A digital image processing technology is applied for data visualiza-tion. The three-dimensional plot of the local mass transfer coefficients shows that there exist three peak values on different positions of a unit cell of structured packing. In order to improve mass transfer efficiency of the structured packing, one piece of baffle is added between packing sheets. As a result, the average mass transfer coefficient increases by （10 20）% and the pressure drop decreases by （15-55）%.

Systematic exploration of the applicability of the idiomatic vapor balance rule to distillation column consolidation

For N-component distillation(N≥3),consolidation between different column sections is an inevitable manipulation when synthesizing complex distillation configurations.In the consolidation,the idiomatic vapor balance(IVB)rule,in which the larger vapor flowrate in the two columns before consolidation will be chosen as the balanced vapor flowrate at the consolidation point,has been widely used.However,the applicability of the IVB rule has not been verified,which is of essential importance to the accuracy of the distillation configuration synthesis.In the present study,the applicability of the IVB rule to distillation column consolidation was systematically explored by rigorous method for the first time.First,the separation of ideal and non-ideal three-component mixtures with variable compositions was studied,and the optimized configurations before and after consolidation were determined by a rigorous method.The results indicated that for the separation of an ideal mixture,the IVB rule was applicable for the whole composition range,while for the separation of a non-ideal mixture,the IVB rule was only applicable for very limited composition range.Finally,two cases of synthesizing distillation configurations for the separation of non-ideal mixtures were studied to verify the remarkable deviations the IVB rule may cause.The results indicated that the applicability of the shortcut method using the IVB rule to the distillation configuration synthesis depended on the composition of the non-ideal mixture,and a remarkable error might result and the truly optimal configuration might be missed if the IVB rule is applied to a non-ideal mixture.

The scale-up effect, which is a key factor controlling the performance of industrial cyclones, is conventionally estimated through grade efficienty curves. A new principle based on the centrifugal separation factor (CSF) is proposed to improve the scale-up procedure in designing industrial cyclones.

Liquid Flow Distribution in a New Type of Multi-tube Column

A new type of multi-tube column, in which a novel internal-structure is installed in the bed of random packing, has been invented. The internal-structure reduces the hydraulic radius of the column and adjusts the gas/liquid flow so that the liquid maldistribution is greatly abated. A mathematical model with boundary conditions based on close-open mechanism at the internal-structure was established to study the hydraulic behavior of such a column and experiments were carded out to verify the applicability of the model. Predictions from the model agreed well with experimental results. The optimal ratio of the hydraulic diameter of the new multi-tube column to the packing element diameter is found to be 17.5 to 23.3 by employing the optimization method of nonlinear programming. And this new type of multi-tube column opens a new way for random packing columns to be scaled up for industry.

Methanethiol Removal from Biogas by Biological Conversion in an Anaerobic Biotrickling Filter

In this study, methanethiol（MT）-degradation bacteria were cultivated by using MT, methanol and trimethylamine as carbon sources under anaerobic conditions. It was found that the batch bacteria used MT and metha- nol as carbon sources grew faster than those used trimethylamine. The enriched bacteria used MT and methanol as the carbon sources were respectively inoculated in different biotrickling filters. The biological conversion performance ot MT under anaerobic conditions was investigated in biotrickling filters. The results showed that the performance of the biotrickling filter inoculated with the bacteria enriched using MT was better than that inoculated with the bacteria en- riched using methanol. When the inlet concentration of MT was 0.005vo1% （50 ppm）, the empty bed residence time was 50 s, pH value was 8.0, and the flow rate of the nutrient solution was 10 L/h, the removal efficiency of MT reached 95.3%. Adding methanol stimulated the growth of the biomass and the degradation of MT, but caused that some bacteria only degrading methanol outcompeted the bacteria only degrading MT. The concentration of sodium bicarbonate in the nutrient solution needed to be controlled lower than 30 g/L, otherwise, it would be harmful to the degradation of MT.

Transport Process of Isopropanol Aqueous Solution by Pervaporation

To study the transport process of isopropanol aqueous solution by pervaporation, the transport model of isopropanol and that of water at 323 K in polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) membrane were obtained in this paper. Theoretical predictions agreed well with the experimental results. The interactional parameter between water and PVA membrane is less than that between isopropanol and PVA membrane, which shows that water is preferentially dissolved in PVA membrane. The plasticizing coefficient and diffusion coefficient at infinite dilution of water are larger than those of isopropanol, which shows that the dissolution and permeation in PVA membrane of water are greater than those of isopropanol. Both the interactional parameter between water and isopropanol in the membrane and that in feed rise with the increase of isopropanol content in feed, which shows that the larger isopropanol content is, the higher selectivity of the membrane is and the more remarkable separation effect of pervaporation is.
