A mathematical model for nitrification in an aerated fixed bed reactor has been developed. This model is based on material balances in the bulk liquid, gas phase and in the biofilm area. The fixed bed is divided into a number of cells according to the reduced remixing behaviour. A fixed bed cell consists of 4 compartments: the support, the gas phase, the bulk liquid phase and the stagnant volume containing the biofilm. In the stagnant volume the biological transmutation of the ammonia is located. The transport phenomena are modelled with mass transfer formulations so that the balances could be formulated as an initial value problem. The results of the simulation and experiments are compared.

Type Of Transition

The catalytic activity of sulphonated macroporous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, the exchange capacity of which was neutralized from 30, 50 and 80% by Fe(III) ions and from 30% by Na ions and that of Wofatit Y-37 ion exchanger neutralized from 10% of its total exchange capacity by several transition metal ions and by sodium has been studied in isomerisation of cyclohexene and dehydration of 1-propanol in the gas phase at 130 °C. It was demonstrated that in both reactions transition metal ions exhibit additional effect to the expected neutralization of the polymer acid groups. In the case of cyclohexene isomerization, this effect depends on the degree of crosslinking of polymer mass of the catalyst. Such dependence has not been, however, observed in dehydration of 1-propanol. The type of transition metal ions did not exhibit any significant effect on the catalytic activity of the polymer catalysts studied.

AbstractMesocellular foam carbon (MCF-C) is one the captivating materials for using in gas phase dehydrogenation of ethanol. Extraordinary, enlarge pore size, high surface area, high acidity, and spherical shape with interconnected pore for high diffusion. In contrary, the occurrence of the coke is a majority causes for inhibiting the active sites on catalyst surface. Thus, this study aims to investigate the occurrence of the coke to optimize the higher catalytic activity, and also to avoid the coke formation. The MCF-C was synthesized and investigated using various techniques. MCF-C was spent in gas-phase dehydrogenation of ethanol under mild conditions. The deactivation of catalyst was investigated toward different conditions. Effects of reaction condition including different reaction temperatures of 300, 350, and 400 °C on the deactivation behaviors were determined. The results indicated that the operating temperature at 400 °C significantly retained the lowest change of ethanol conversion, which favored in the higher temperature. After running reaction, the physical properties as pore size, surface area, and pore volume of spent catalysts were decreased owing to the coke formation, which possibly blocked the pore that directly affected to the difficult diffusion of reactant and caused to be lower in catalytic activity. Furthermore, a slight decrease in either acidity or basicity was observed owing to consumption of reactant at surface of catalyst or chemical change on surface caused by coke formation. Therefore, it can remarkably choose the suitable operating temperature to avoid deactivation of catalyst, and then optimize the ethanol conversion or yield of acetaldehyde.

Heat and mass transfer analysis between a desiccant-air contact system in a packed tower has been studied in application to air dehumidification employing liquid desiccant, namely calcium chloride. Ceramic 2 in. Raschig rings are used as the packing material. To predict the tower performance, a steady-state model which considers the heat and mass transfer resistances of the gas phase and the mass transfer resistance of the liquid phase is developed. The governing equations are solved on a digital computer to simulate the performance of the tower. The various parameters such as the effect of liquid concentration and temperature, air temperature and humidity and the rates of flow of air and liquid affecting the tower performance have been discussed.
