 The sustainability of chemical processes extends beyond the physical and chemical sciences to include the biological sciences - reflected by bio and green modifiers, and other resources like alternate energy, alternate feedstock, green processes with minimal footprint and minimal environmental impact, process intensification, recycling etc. Digitalization has transformed the chemical industry rapidly across its entire value chain through predictive maintenance and process automation. There are applications of artificial intelligence in the chemical engineering field, such as modeling, optimization, process control, reaction engineering, fault detection and diagnosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI) could provide a significant impact in problem-solving, mathematical analysis and information technology by optimizing processes in chemical industries. AI has promising applications in new areas that include materials designs such as catalysts, nanostructures, pharmaceuticals, additives, polymeric composites, rubber compounds and alloys. Also, machine learning is an area of AI that has been used to integrate physical models and computational techniques for autonomous molecular design in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, especially in the manufacturing of soft bio-inspired materials. AI can make industrial processes safer and cleaner, and help invent new molecules for specific customer needs, including the increased circularity of materials. Over the next few years it will be critical for the chemical sector to find the right applications of AI technologies that can bring benefits in terms of reducing energy consumption, the reduction of environmental pollution, the realization of a full circular economy, cost reductions and product quality improvements. Sustainability chemistry focuses on the design of products and processes that eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances and make the global environment clean and safe. Increased drive for sustainable products and technologies, enhanced customer specifications, new performance requirements and the ground-breaking integration of mass data technologies is creating a vibrant and evolving landscape of opportunities and challenges.

Fluidized Bed Reactors: Principles And Applications

108,65€ + 10% CARD

 This compilation presents the main results reported in literature regarding the application of the fluidized bed reactor in the fermentative production of hydrogen using different synthetic and complex substrates, such as: glucose, sucrose, xylose, sugarcane vinasse, cheese whey, cassava wastewater and glycerin. Additionally, the results of studies on the dry torrefaction process of various types of fluidized bed biomass in an inert gas medium are presented, as well as the results of studies on torrefaction in a fluidized bed in a gas medium, which produces a mixture of inert gas and oxygen. Using a fluidized bed reactor for activated carbon production, the effect of various process parameters such as particle size, fluidizing velocity, process time, static bed height, activation temperature and fluidizing medium are studied. The authors propose that the development and implementation of the suspended bed reactor is the most reasonable means to achieve promising catalytic hydrogenation.

Study On Metal Catalysts For Liquid Phase Hydrogenation Of Aromatic Compounds In Diesel Fuel

108,65€ + 10% CARD

 The major aspects of aromatic hydrogenation are the production of aromatic-free diesel fuels. Health risks and diesel quality depend on the aromatic compounds that have insisted legislators to improve the quality of the diesel fuel and to reduce the aromatic content in the diesel. In diesel fuel, aromatic compounds are also responsible for particle emissions in exhaust gases. The major concern related to exhaust gases are particle emissions such as CO, SOx and NOx. This book represents the study on metal catalysts for liquid phase hydrogenation of aromatics in a high pressure catalytic reactor and kinetic study of the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds. The hydrogenation of benzene, toluene, naphthalene and mixtures of these on a synthesized platinum and nickel catalysts in a fixed bed reactor is discussed. The oil refinery industry today faces increasing production demands for diesel fuels, but the fuel specifications are being tightened day by day. Intensive study toward more efficient hydroprocessing reactor is therefore required. Hydrogenation of diesel fuel also comprises the removal of heteroatoms (S, N, O) and aromatic compounds. Aromatic compounds are converted to saturated hydrocarbons through hydrogenation reaction over metal catalysts in a continuous catalytic fixed bed reactor at high temperature and pressure. Regulations today allow total aromatics contents to 36 wt % in the U.S. and polyaromatics contents to 11 wt % in the EU. Stringent limitations are, however, forthcoming. The World Fuels Charter, issued by engine and vehicle manufacturers, specifies higher qualities for diesel fuel of the future. Among these qualities are total contents of aromatics and polyaromatics as low as 15 and 2 wt %, respectively.
