    Notes: Concentration profiles are measured during the mixing process of carbon dioxide and air, which were injected into the rectangular cross section of a duct. The volume flow rates of both components differ considerably. The non-stationary and three-dimensional concentration fields are measured by optical tomography using holographic interferometry as the measuring principle. Projection data from four different viewing angles are used for tomographic reconstruction by the ART method. Pressure losses due to mixing processes are also measured. Results are presented for different angles of injection and different ratios of momentum flow rate for single and multiple jets of carbon dioxide which were injected into the carrier gas stream of air.

    Notes: An automatic apparatus has been developed and set up for the study of drop-interface coalescence. Most other studies have concentrated on events when the drop arrives at the interface with its terminal velocity. In our case, the drop is maintained fixed at the tip of a needle, and the interface is moved towards the drop at a controlled speed. The coalescence times are measured by means of a vectorial video camera focused on the drop. Several times are measured by means of a vectorial video camera focused on the drop. Several parameters have been investigated, such as the drop diameter, the relative drop-interface velocity, the phase system, the presence and the direction of mass transfer.

    Notes: The classical two-film model for mass transfer between two fluid phases can only be used to describe the steady state mass transfer mechanism. Both the penetration and the film-penetration model are also valid solely when only one diffusion boundary layer exists at the interface between the phases. With a view to surmounting the limitations of the above models a new model has been developed for the mass transfer between two fluid phases with two diffusion boundary layers at the interface. The new model is based on the two-film concept and the Danckwerts distribution function, and is also able to simulate the unsteady state mass transfer mechanism between two fluid phases with two different boundary layers.

    Notes: The results of experimental investigations on distillation columns operating on a lab and on a production scale are presented and compared with the results obtained by simulation. There is good agreement between experiment and simulation. On the basis of these results a dynamic analysis was carried out. It compares the dynamic behaviour of packed and plate distillation columns of the same diameter and same number of theoretical plates. This reflects the influence of the different hold-ups of the two columns.

    Notes: Titanium silicalite-1 samples of different particle size are synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Size histograms are taken from transmission electron micrographs. Temporal changes of activity and selectivity for the hydroxylation of phenol and anisole are monitored. It is postulated that the p/o product ratios are due to the greater chemisorption of the ortho molecule.

    Notes: A spray dryer simulation program is described. It is based on the known conservation laws and permits determination of temperature and moisture profiles and droplet trajectories inside spray dryers. An industrial spray dryer used in the manufacture of detergents serves as an example to demonstrate the applicability of the program; this approach required prior experimental determination of the flow field and an axial temperature profile. On the basis of a rough estimate of the drying rate in the spray dryer, good agreement was observed between experiment and simulation.

    Notes: This paper describes the development of a dynamic simulation model for stirred tank batch or semi-batch chemical reactors fitted with an alternative heating-cooling system. Heat and mass balances are established for the reactor and its jacket. Since the general purpose of our research is the thermal control of these reactors, special attention is devoted to the behaviour of the heating-cooling system. In this article, we are particularly concerned with an alternative system, i.e. different fluids at a constant temperature can be alternatively delivered to the jacket. The computer simulation programme is flexible, enabling simulation of a batch or semi-batch reaction vessel, ranging from a laboratory pilot plant to a full-scale production plant. A control algorithm is included which allows reactor operation with open or closed-loop temperature control. To demonstrate the good performance of the simulation model, experimental results are presented for both a pilot plant and an industrial reactor.

    Notes: Biotechnological production processes for low-molecular bulk chemicals can only compete with their petrochemical counterparts on using inexpensive raw materials, e.g., agricultural by-products or wastes, otherwise requiring disposal. The upgrading of by-products/wastes of potato starch production and the use of potato protein liquor and potato pulp for the production of bulk chemicals were investigated. It transpired that the economy of these processes depends on the waste disposal costs of the upgrading processes. In addition, it is shown that specialty chemicals can be produced economically from wastes. However, since they are produced in a large quantities, the upgraded product cannot be put on the market without ruining existing prices.

    Notes: Gas phase conversions and product selectivities predicted by the single-bubble-class and modified two-bubble-class models of bubble column reactors are compared for a multistep gas-liquid reaction involving series/parallel steps. A situation is considered where the first reaction step is fast and occurs in the interfacial region while the other reaction steps are slow and occur only in the liquid bulk. Equivalent hydrodynamic and transport parameters provide a common basis for the comparison. The differences in the gas phase conversions predicted by these models are insignificant. However, the two models predict very different values of selectivities for the intermediate products. This analysis enables us to judge the range of applicability of the single-bubble-class model in design and scale-up of bubble column reactors.

    Notes: The productivity of fermentations is often limited by end product inhibition. This can be avoided by continuous removal of the inhibiting product from the broth. Such in-situ separation can be conveniently accomplished by liquid-liquid extraction. As an example, the continuous fermentation of ethanol by the thermophilic, anaerobic bacterium Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum is investigated in a 20-1 fermenter with simultaneous in-situ extraction by oleyl alcohol as organic solvent. Continuous fermentations with and without in-situextraction were carried out with systematic variation of the independent operating conditions, viz. feed glucose concentration, broth flow rate and solvent flow rate. The experimental results of 18 steady states are reported. They show that in-situ extractions doubles the yield, selectivity and space-time yield of ethanol in comparison to fermentations without in-situ extraction. A biomodel elucidates the influence of feed glucose concentration, broth flow rate and solvent flow rate on the productivity of the fermentation process. Finally, a cost model was developed for the investigated fermentation which allows economic evaluation of the results of experiments and simulation. A sensitivity study elucidates the economic limits and advantages of fermentation with in-situ extraction compared to a common fermentation without product separation.

    Notes: The extraction of zinc chloride by Amberlite LA-2, a long chain secondary alkylamine, dissolved in Shellsol K, a naphthenic solvent, has been studied at room temperature. Isodecanol was used as modifier. The aqueous phases were chloride solutions of Zn(II) and Fe(II) in the concentration range commonly encountered in pickling baths, viz. about 1 and 1.5 mol/l, respectively. The ionic strength was kept constant at 4 mol/l in all experiments. Measurement of the distribution equilibrium of zinc chloride was carried out over wide concentration ranges of amine, zinc chloride, free chloride and isodecanol. It was assumed that the zinc chloride was extracted according to the following reaction \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$${\rm ZnCl}_{2,{\rm aq}} + 2{\rm AHCl}_{2,{\rm org}} \leftrightarrow ({\rm AH})_2 {\rm ZnCl}_{4,{\rm org}} $$\end{document}On the basis of this reaction, an easy to use model was developed to describe the extraction behaviour of Zn in typical pickling baths. Prediction and optimization of a solvent extraction plant performance under changing industrial feed conditions is then possible. This model takes account of the influence of isodecanol used as modifier.

    Notes: Affinity chromatography (biospecific adsorption) relies on specific interactions of biological molecules such as enzymes, antigens, antibodies, and proteins. The process consists of three steps: adsorption, washing, and elution. A mathematical model including convection, diffusion, and reversible reaction is formulated to analyse the breakthrough behaviour of the solute. A moving finite element orthogonal collocation method is applied with respect to the space variables of the governing partial differential equations of the model to evaluate the breakthrough of the solute. Danckwerts' boundary conditions are considered for the column. The validity of the numerical scheme is checked by comparison with an analytical solution for a simplified model. The results obtained from model simulation show that the breakthrough time of the solute is significantly influenced by the axial dispersion coefficient, solute concentration, ligand content, reaction kinetics, particle porosity, particle size, and flow rate. Solute recovery and bed utilisation efficiencies are evaluated for different values of the above parameters.

    Notes: Computer-aided design of a packed column to remove ethanol from aqueous solution with dibutyl butylphosphonate (DBBP) was accomplished with a programme based on the Pratt method and on the slip velocity equation. Reliable data for successful computation were obtained from literature correlations (drop size, hold-up and axial mixing coefficients for different types of packing) and from experimental work (equilibria and kinetics). Equilibrium studies on the H2O-ethanol-dibutyl butylphosphonate system were performed at different temperatures. A decrease in temperature increased the selectivity of the extractant while the distribution coefficient of ethanol, KD ≈ 1.0, remained constant. The behaviour of the system kinetics towards temperature is assessed in order to determine the initial mass transfer flux (892 × 10-3 kg m-2s-1, 30°C) and the activation energy, 22.9 kJ/kmol. The process is governed by the diffusion of the species involved. The influence of the type of packing of the column on its design is analyzed from the inventory volume of the solvent, the total volume of the column and the axial dispersion coefficients under normalised inlet and outlet conditions.

    Notes: Theoretical and practical limits on the applicability of PDA are established, using generalized theoretical formulations of various physical processes governing the operation of a phase Doppler system. Furthermore, several innovative solutions are introduced to prevent the commonly occuring problems of PDA, such as Gaussian profile effect, non-monotonic response and 2π-ambiguity. Generalized formulations have also enabled new applications, such as sizing of submicron particles, particle material recognition, measurements with non-standard geometries. Selected results of measurements in particulate flows, using innovative PDA systems, are also presented.

    Notes: Many optical sizing techniques rely on particle/laser interactions. The classical Lorenz-Mie theory describing sphere/plane wave interactions is therefore misleading when designing instruments and processing data when the particle size is not small enough with respect to beam diameters. In such cases the use of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory is required. After summarizing essential features of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory for sphere/arbitray wave interactions, this paper describes applications of the theory with some emphasis on the analysis of phase-Doppler anemometers.

    Notes: A theoretical model has been developed for studying the response of the phase Doppler interferometer when multiple particles are simultaneously present within the measurement probe volume. The developed model incorporates the geometrical optics theory for describing the coherent interaction between the scattered light signals of multiple particles, eachhaving different size, velocity, trajectory, and arrival time. The resulting Doppler signal is processed by a theoretical signal processor which can simulate the performance characteristic of different signal processing schemes that are widely used in phase Doppler interferometry, namely, zero-crossing counter, covariance, autocorrelation and DFT parocessors. The application of the developed model for studying the coherent scattering by two particles has been specifically addressed in this paper. It has been shown that a DFT processor can be used to simultaneously measure the size and velocity of the two particles in most instances. However, for more than two particles, the signal processing scheme becomes more complex because of a quadratic increase in the beat frequency components.

    Notes: Using a computer model based on Lorenz-Mie and generalized Lorenz-Mie theory, various optical confiugurations of a phase-Doppler system were analysed with regard to their suitability for diameter measurements in the sub-micron range. The major concern in this size range is multi-valuedness of the phase-diameter characteristic, the relatively small signal-to-noise ratio obtained with the very low scattered intensity and the small value of the phase difference to be measured. It is shown numerically and by experiment that for particles in a free stream the multi-valuedness and the shot noise need not prohibit measurements in the sub-micron size range. The major source of phase error results from light scattered form objects or material other than the particle inside the measuring volume. Using an optical set-up with nearly counter-propagating incident beams and a large angle between the detectors, measurements were obtained for particle diameters down to 200 nm, and it is estimated that with some improvements in receiver optics measurement down to 100 nm will be possible.

    Notes: Although common atomizing systems efficiently produce sprays, a range of droplet sizes is generally obtained and the distribution is often difficult to control in terms of liquid or gaseous flow rates. It is shown that an alternative system, based on ultrasonic surface instabilities, is well suited for experimental applications where all parameters have to be controlled. Technological aspects of ultrasonic atomization are described and the droplet spray produced by an ultrasonic atomizer is characterized experimentally.

    Notes: When an optical beam is incident on particles that are randomly distributed, and if the fractional volume is small, single scattering theory is adequate to explain the scattering characteristics of the medium. However, when the fractional volume is increased, multiple scattering effects cannot be ignored. This paper reviews the fundamental theories of multiple scattering including radiative transfer and diffusion theories. Also included are recent studies on polarization effects, localization, enhanced backscattering, resonant localization, pulse scattering and scattering in dense media.

    Notes: The coupled dipole method, as originally formulated by Purcell and Pennypacker [3], is a very powerful method to simulate the elastic light scattering from arbitrary particles. This method, however, has one major drawback: if the size of the particles grows, or if scattering from an ensemble of randomly oriented particles has to be simulated, the computational demands of the coupled dipole method soon become too high. This paper presents two new computational techniques to resolve this problem. First the coupled dipole method was implemented on a massively parallel computer. The parallel efficiency can be very close to 1, implying that the attained computational speed scales perfectly with the number of processors. Second, it is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of the coupled dipole method by including ideas from the so-called fast multipole methods (hierarchical algorithms) into the coupled dipole method. In this way calculation time can be decreased by orders of magnitude.

    Notes: The breakup of suspended, agglomerated submicron particles was studied by exposing the aerosol to weak shock waves of varying strength under conditions 400 ms-1≤v≤880 ms-1. A newly developed laser light-scattering diagnostic employing a top hat laser profile was used to size the particles passing through a very small scattering volume. By Comparing the optically measured particle size in front of and behind shock waves, the breakup of agglomerated particles could be clearly identified. The experiments indicate that the aerodynamic forces behind an incident shock overcome the particle binding force resulting in disintegration of the submicron agglomerates. The results are presented in form of a modified Weber number.

    Notes: The diffraction patterns of static particles deviate from those of dynamic particles of the same distribution characteristics. Use of diffraction solutions based on independent scattering to analyse such diffraction patterns leads to a narrower size distribution biased towards the smaller sizes. A 2-D coherent diffraction model using an inter-particle relation PDF function is developed. The model clearly demonstrates the terms due to the individual particle diffraction and the terms contributed by the inter-particle correlation, i.e. the coherent effects. The deviation of the static particle diffraction pattern from that of the dynamic particles can be well predicted. The results of this study provide a general solution for utilizing the forward diffraction technique in static particle measurement. One of the important applications of the new model is in the development of a diffraction reference reticle used for diffraction-based particle sizing instruments verification.

    Notes: This presentation is part of a fundamental investigation into the influence of structural characteristics on particle collection in fibrous filters. The collection on single fibres has been experimentally determined, whereby different fibre configurations were set. For this purpose, particle fluxes upstream and downstream of the fibres were measured simultaneously using an optical particle counter which operates with two purely optically delineated measuring volumes and two detectors. The experimental results are compared with published values.

    Notes: An investigation was carried out of the transformation between the number, length, surface and volume size distributions expressed by Johnson's SB distribution function - the bounded log-normal distribution function. As is well known, if any of the number, length, surface and volume distributions is log-normal, all the others will also be log-normal. Theoretical analysis suggests that the SB function may have a similar property. This was confirmed by a computer-aided numerical simulation, in which emphasis was given to the transformation between successive order size distributions, i.e. ƒi(x) → ƒi + 1(x) or ƒi(x) → ƒi - 1(x). The numerical results can be applied to the particle size distribution transformation because this transformation can generally be made step by step, for example, ƒi → ƒi-1 (x) → ƒi - 2(x) → … → ƒj(x) for ƒi(x) → ƒj(x) ( i 〉 j).

    Notes: Small angle X-ray scattering has been utilised to study the structure of hematite aggregates. The small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) spectra obtained provided insight into structure of the hematite aggregates and the size of the primary particles. The structural analysis results obtained by SAXS are consistent with previous results obtained from static light scattering studies. Both techniques indicate that the mass fractal dimensions of hematite aggregates are markedly higher than those obtained for other particle systems.

    Notes: A light scattering method has been devised to discriminates between coal and fly ash and measure particle size. Sizing was performed by the measurement of forward scattered intensity, and discrimination was displayed by the ratio of the intensities of crossed to parallel polarisations at a scattering angle of 160°. The technique has been applied to a study of coal combustion in a variable length drop tube furnace. It has been demonstrated that the development of the size distribution can be followed as a function of residence time. Further, it is indicated that there is a simple correlation between the polarisation ratio and the carbon content of the ash. This leads to the possibility of monitoring combustion efficiency in industrial furnaces.

    Notes: The effect of the finite dimension of the measuring probe, i. e. the laser beam width, on the electrophoretic mobility distribution as determined by electrophoretic light scattering in closed capillary cells is presented on a quantitative basis. The experimental mobility broadening as a function of the probe position in the capillary is in agreement with the broadening expected from the laser beam waist. A strategy for the accurate determination of average mobility and mobility distributions is proposed.

    Notes: The finely stratified sphere model was used to calculate scattered electromagnetic fields from radially inhomogeneous spherical particles illuminated by electromagnetic plane waves. The calculation results show that radial gradients of the real part of the refractive indices change the ray paths into curved lines inside large spherical particles, resulting in fluctuations of rainbow positions for droplets during heat transfer processes. The light intensity in the forward scattering region is found to be useful to infer information about the profile of the imaginary part of the refractive index.

    Notes: The objective of a continuing study by the Belgian Particle Technology Group involves difficulties in practical size determinations. This part describes the behaviour of silicas with different porosities during sizing by electrical sensing zone and laser diffraction methods. Anisotropy and porosity were identified to be important particle characteristics in understanding the differences between the two methods. Especially large pore diameters and pore volumes were found to be responsible for shifts in size distribution of 50 to 100%. The use of optical values and optical models was shown to influence these shifts considerably. In the case of spherical silica particles with moderate porosity, no significant differences could be found between the two sizing methods.

    Notes: A log-normal model, based on the extended SIMPLER-algorithm utilizing the Modal Aerosol Dynamics Modelling Technique, and a sectional model are compared for Brownian coagulation in the transition regime. The models are in good agreement with respect to the calculated particle size distribution moments. Applying the log-normal model a simple coagulation model consisting of a closed set of five equations is developed that does not require the solution of ordinary diferential equations.

Furthermore, an experimental set-up was designed which provides high flexibility owing to its modular design. The performance of the technique described is demonstrated by a large variety of applications in aerosol and combustion research and in large-scale industrial systems. It was found to be a reliable tool in characterizing dense particulate systems.

    Notes: The effects of a concentric annular air jet on the structure of a liquid spray have been examined under isothermal conditions using Phase Doppler interferometry, and flow visualization techniques. Local measurements of drop size, velocity, volume flux, and number density have been made simultaneously and non-intrusively. The results show that the initial spray cone widens substantially with increasing air flow while the overall spray envelope remains essentially the same. The air jet creates a narrow high mass flux region of small droplets in the core of the spray, surrounded by a nearly uniform flux region extending almost to the boundary of the spray. Line averaged mean diameters are found to be slightly smaller, indicating that the annular air jet plays a role improving the atomization process as well.

    Notes: Problems with automated techniques for measuring boundary fractal dimensions using structured walks are described and a new method is proposed, coordinate averaging. The actual polygon generated by a structured walk is variable and depends upon the chosen starting point. This noise is apparent in the resulting Richardson plots. The use of multiple starting points enhances the Fast (equipaced) method but is less productive with the Hybrid (fixed step) method because the paths followed around the perimeter tend to converge. Coordinate averaging uses perimeters that have been mapped as a list of sequential coordinates. They are then examined by averaging every coordinate with an increasing number of neighbours. The resulting family of shapes progressively shed detail and can be used to generate fractal dimensions. Coordinate averaging appears to be free from the noise found with structured walks and is able to examine highly convoluted shapes. In addition it appears well suited to the examination of the homogeneity of boundaries and can follow the detailed evolution of individual features.

    Notes: For many profiles the values of the boundary fractals deduced by different exploration techniques are identical but the presence of deep fissures of convoluted structure can perturb the information gathered by the exploration technique. Data for different boundaries generated by different exploration techniques are used to illustrate the physical significance of the deduced fractal dimensions as evaluated using the different techniques. Heuristic programs for teaching an automated instrument to distinguish between different regions of ruggedness around a profile and to prevent “fractal rabbits” from appearing in the data are outlined. It is shown how the logic for removing fractal rabbits from the experimental data will also generate data on the presence of sharp edges on the profile. The possible occurrence of pseudo-texture fractal dimensions from projection occlusion is discussed.

    Notes: A mathematical model of dehydroisomerization of methylcyclopentane in presence of bifunctional catalysts under industrial operating conditions is presented. The model consists of six differential equations. The rate constants are expressed as polynomial functions of the catalyst blend, and coefficients of these polynomials were determined from numerous measurements, taken along the axis of a tubular reactor. The resulting polynomial coefficients led to reaction rate constants which yielded results close to the actual process.

    Notes: Treatment of a given multicomponent cationic mixture was studied applying the emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) separation technique for Zn recovery. Experimental apparatus and conditions are described. Comparative studies using two zinc-selective ion exchangers (thio-DEHPA and dithio-DEHPA) were carried out whereby the composition of the liquid membrane and the operating conditions were investigated for both extractants. A useful method of representing the concentrations of the feed and the receiving aqueous phase is proposed, which allows the occurrence of break-up and/or osmosis to be easily detected.

    Notes: Based on the dispersion model rather than on the conventional pluf-flow model, a method of predicting the transient behaviour of parallel and counterflow heat exchangers is developed, whereby the effects of shell-side flow maldistribution and the finite heat capacities of both fluids, tube bundle and shell are considered. The final solution has been obtained by numerical inversion of the Laplace transform, to determine the transient responses to arbitrary inlet temperature variations. The experiment was carried out in a one pass tube heat exchanger. The comparison between therotical and experimental results is presented and the feasibility of this method is discussed.

    Notes: Pellet heat transfer coefficients in a packed bed have been obtained, both for specific individual pellets and for the entire bed. They are referred to as local and global values, respectively. It appears that the local values are scattered around the global value. This is due to the heat transfer coefficient of individual pellets being statistically distributed, as a result of the randomnes of the packing. At low Reynolds numbers, both global and local values fall well below Nu = 2, which is the lower limit for a single sphere in absence of convection. In the literature, this behaviour has been attributed i.a. to axial dispersion and fluid maldistribution. However, these phenomena cannot explain why the same behaviour is observed in slurries. The fact that the local values fall below Nu = 2 would suggest that neither of these explanations is valid for packed beds.

    Notes: A comparison is made between two different methods using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy for measuring local concentration fluctuations in the same stirred tank. The first method using a single inert fluorescent tracer yields a segregation index quite different from that determined by the second method, which requires two inert tracers, a fluorescent one and a fluorescence quencher. By recalling the theoretical background, it is demonstrated that the characteristic segregation indices should be equal for the experiments under consideration. According to the discussion, it is likely that the double tracer method gives more reliable results.

    Notes: Using the micromixing concepts of Danckwerts and Zwietering, the Peclet number Pe has been correlated mathematically to the degree of segregation J for the axial dispersion model. The results were applied to compare the micromixing effects on a model, mixed-order parallel reaction system in continuous flow reactors. Axial dispersion model, and Ng and Rippin's two-environment model were used to find the micromixing effects in tubular and stirred tank reactors, respectively. The performance of these reactors, with varying geometries, has been evaluated in terms of overall conversion, selectivity, and yield under identical operating and reaction conditions. The overall conversion increases in a tubular reactor with the increase in J, irrespective of the kinetic orders. However, in a stirred tank reactor, the conversion is found to be micromixing-sensitive, depending on the order of reaction. For m = 1 and n = 2 (case 1), the conversion is fairly insensitive to micromixing effects while it decreases for m = 0.5 and n = 1 (case 2) with increasing J. For the same extent of micromixing, a tubular reactor gives, in both cases, a higher conversion than a stirred tank reactor. The selectivity, in either case, decreases in both reactors with increasing segregation effects. However, in each case, the selectivity of a tubular reactor was fairly close to that of a stirred tank reactor at the same value of J. As far as the yield is concerned, both reactors achieve nearly the same value, without significant micromixing effects.

    Notes: The octane enhancer methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) can be produced very efficiently from methanol and isobutene in a reactive distillation column where the heterogeneous catalyst also acts as distillation packing. Some mathematical models have been published for the simulation of such a process but they focus on the physical transport processes between the vapour and liquid phases. However, the aim of this paper is to analyze the importance of the internal and external multicomponent mass and heat transfer phenomena on the catalyst under boiling conditions. Therefore, experiments were carried out in a reactive distillation column at different compositions of feed, column pressures and reflux ratios using a Raschig ring shaped acidic ion exchange resin as the catalyst. The temperature and composition of the liquid phase entering and leaving the catalytic column section were measured. These data were used to evaluate the effectiveness factor of the catalyst with a rigorous macrokinetic model. It is shown that the effectiveness factor varies significantly along the column length. Under certain operating conditions, decomposition of MTBE can occur accompanied by boiling processes inside the catalyst macropores.

    Notes: Based on a comprehensive hydrodynamic analysis, a practical definition of the circulating fluidized bed (CFB) regime has been proposed. It was established that two flow regimes are involved in a CFB: fast fluidization and dense phase conveying. By demonstrating the variation of pressure gradient in both the lower and the upper section of the bed versus superficial gas velocity, the criteria for the determination of transition velocities have been obtained. Literature data which over wider operating conditions, particle properties and bed diameters from the basis of the obtained generalized correlations of transition velocities. A quantitative flow diagram is presented.

    Notes: This paper describes preliminary work carried out on the applicability of fractal geometry in describing the products of comminution events.A nickel sulphide ore was subjected to two comminution events, impact shattering and ball milling. Fractal analysis was performed on samples of the resulting comminution products.Two differing fractal populations resulted, with the impact sample exhibiting particles having higher boundary fractal dimensions than the milled sample. The fractal dimension of the impact fragments increased with decreasing size, whereas the milled particles displayed a more complex distribution.The under-fractal distributions, of the two populations of fragments, generate straight lines when plotted on Gaussian probability paper. This leads to the possibility of being able to predict the distribution of fragments, in fractal terms, of a particular material when subjected to comminution.

    Notes: The working principle of the single-fibre reflection (SFR) probe is that light emitted by a laser diode is guided into the measuring volume by the same fibre which receives the proportion of light reflected by the particles in the vicinity of the probe tip and transmits it back to a photosensitive element. In contrast to other configurations of fibre optical probes, the SFR probe is characterized by an unambiguous calibration graph over the entire range of solid volume concentration values. SFR probes have been successfully applied to different kinds of multiphase flow systems, e.g. fluidized beds, pneumatic conveying lines, elutriators and thickeners.A particular question for the interpretation of measurements has always been the effective size of the measuring volume, which is mainly determined by the solid volume concentration. In this paper a simplified mathematical model of the signal generation by backscattering of the emitted light at the particle surfaces is given. The theory takes into account the average optical properties of the solids and their particle size distributions.The particle properties are determined on the basis of this model, which finally delivers the shape, size and depth of the effective measuring volume. For particle sizes between 30 and 120 μm the depth of the measuring volume of a 600-μm fibre probe is between 0.2 mm for solid concentrations near the fixed-bed state and approximately 4 mm for solid volume concentrations as low as 0.1 vol.-%.

    Notes: An aerosol measurement instrument is presented which allows for the simultaneous measurement of the size distribution, number concentration and velocities of particles. A commercial optical particle counter (OPC) was modified in terms of optics and signal evaluation to provide the required measurement information. The design of this instrument allows the definition of a cubic measuring volume by purely optical means. This is achieved by an aperture/lens system which projects a sharply defined light beam into a stream of aerosol flow. Light scattered from single particles at average angles of 90° is collected by two opposite receiver units, each projecting light on to a separate photomultiplier. The intensity of the scattered light with this instrument is found to be an unambiguous function of the particle size. The total number of particles detected per unit time results in the particle flux. The particle velocity can be calculated, in principle, through the correlation of the signal length and the optical length of the measuring volume, provided that the particles have a straight trajectory through the measuring volume and the measuring volume length in the mean flow direction is well defined. The absence of sharpness in real optical projections effects a border zone of definite length, in which the illumination declines to zero. This leads, together with the low-pass filtering of the particle signals, to an increase in the length of the signal slopes, causing some difficulties in the determination of the signal length. A digital signal evaluation technique was developed that renders possible the clear differentiation between the slope and the kernel region of the signal. The latter represents the motion of particles through the completely illuminated region, which can be a more accurate parameter to define the signal length. In addition to the signal length determination, a cross-correlation technique was tested for its potential to obtain particle velocity. the instrument has two interlaced measuring volumes of nearly the same size, which are shifted for this special application in the main flow direction by 20 μm. The phase difference between the signals from the two photomultipliers, together with the optical distance, yields the particle velocity.

    Notes: In jet agglomeration plants, powders are agglomerated to obtain good instant properties. The free-falling initial material is wetted in a spray cone by droplets or in a steam jet by condensation at the particle surface. In a subsequent region of high particle concentration, collision between particles occurs and agglomerates form, if the forces of adhesion are strong enough. A commercial measurement device, working according to the principle of Fraunhofer diffraction, was modified for in-line application. It was used to measure particle size distributions and concentrations of solid particles and droplets in jets. A model is presented to calculate local particle sizes by means of mass balances from integral measurements over large volumes. The results of in-line particle size and agglomerate size analyses show the practical importance of dry agglomeration during transport and lead to a better understanding of the subsequent wet agglomeration process.

    Notes: Three-dimensional transport processes of monosized droplets in a turbulent swirling shear layer were investigated experimentally and theoretically. A model experiment was designed that represents the spray dispersion produced by airblast atomizers. Based on the experimental results, a stochastic dispersion model was developed in the frame of a Lagrangian formulation. Comparison with these experimental data for the dispersion of monosized droplets were made and proved to be satisfactory. The analysis of the remaining differences between calculation and measurement emphasized the importance of an accurate description of gas-phase turbulence characteristics.

    Notes: Dry test sieving results given by woven wire cloths with a square mesh and by round electroformed apertures were compared using sands of various origin. The difference has been found to be constant and independent of substance and quantile. The quantile obtained on a square mesh was converted into the corresponding quantile on an electroformed sheet of the same nominal aperture by multiplication by a constant factor of 1.21 ± 0.04.

    Notes: The transmission and diffraction of radiation through dense monolayers of monodisperse opaque spheres were studied for the Fraunhofer domain. Theoretical considerations, numerical calculations and experiments on ultrasonic transmission and on laser light transmission and diffraction yielded corresponding results. Complementary studies included the cases of sterically non-interacting particles (by numerical simulation) and of small particle size parameters (by ultrasonic extinction). Transmission was found to be, in general, a non-linear function of the monolayer density. Secondary effects on the transmission can be attributed to the effect of the monolayer structure (characterized by the pair correlation function) on the angular distribution of diffracted intensity. The results were found to be in accordance with experimental results on extinction in three-dimensional systems.

    Notes: This paper describes preliminary work carried out on the applicability of fractal geometry for differentiating between wear and contaminant particles found in mining machinery lubrication systems.Coal dust, stone dust and roadstone dust from a granite quarry were used as the contaminant particles and the particles from two crushers, which had failed whilst in service, were used to provide the wear particles.Two differing populations appeared with the wear particles having higher boundary fractals than the contaminant, but tending to spread across a wide range of fractal numbers, whereas the contaminants were lower and fairly tightly grouped.The underfractal distributions of the two populations of particles, generate straight lines when plotted on Gaussian probability paper. This leads to the probability of being able to predict the distribution of particles, in fractal terms between wear and contaminant particles.

    Notes: Aggregates formed from colloidal particles will vary in shape according to the aggregation regime prevalent. Compact structures are formed when the aggregation is slow, whilst loose tenuous structures are formed when rapid (or diffusion limited) aggregation prevails. These structures can be fractal in nature, that is, there is a relationship between porosity and the number of primary particles making up the aggregate, and is described by the fractal dimension, dF. Fractal dimensions of hematite aggregates have been measured experimentally using the static light scattering technique. Fractal dimensions varied with aggregation regimes; for the rapid aggregation regime, dF was found to be 2.8, whilst for conditions in which aggregation was slow (retardation forces prevail), dF's of 2.3 were measured. For conditions which lead to aggregation in which both diffusion and retardation forces play a part, structures with fractal dimensions such that 2.3 〈 dF 〈 2.8 were found.The effects of adsorbed fulvic acid, a naturally occuring organic acid, on the kinetics of hematite aggregation and on the resulting structure of hematite aggregates were also investigated. The study of aggregate structure shows that the fractal dimensions of hematite aggregates which are partially coated with fulvic acid molecules are higher than those obtained with no adsorbed fulvic acid. The scattering exponents obtained from static light scattering experiments of these aggregates range from 2.83 ± 0.08 to 3.42 ± 0.1. The scattering exponents of greater than 3 indicate that the scattering is the result of objects that contains pores which are bounded by surfaces with a fractal structure, and can be related only to surface fractal dimension. The high fractal dimensions are due to restructuring within the aggregates, which only occured at low coverage by the organic acid.

    Notes: The apparent fractal dimension of normalized rugged compressive force-deformation curves of two types of brittle particulates was determined using the blanket algorithm. Although the shape of the original force-deformation relationships of the individual specimens was irreproducible, the apparent fractal dimension of the normalized data was fairly constant and characteristic of the material. The applicability of the algorithm and the validity of the results were tested with computer simulated relationships generated with a set of Weierstrass functions whose fractal dimension was known a-priori. It is demonstrated that as long as the resolution along the two axes is the same, the fractal dimension so calculated provides an absolute rather than a relative measure of the relationship's jaggedness.

    Notes: The effects of the particle trajectories on phase Doppler measurements were explored numerically using generalized Lorenz-Mie theory. Computations were performed for a commercial phase Doppler system and various schemes for elimination of the trajectory effects were examined. It is shown that these effects cannot be completely suppressed if the ratio of the two measured phase shifts from a single receiving unit is used to validate the measurements. On the other hand, the errors due to particle trajectories can be eliminated satisfactorily by employing an additional receiving unit, which allows one to detect the asymmetry of the scattered light pattern due to displacement of the particle trajectory from the centre of the measuring volume. A preliminary experimental evaluation of this method is presented and discussed.

    Notes: Experimental data are reported for ion exchange equilibria of binary systems on Amberlite IR-120 resin, at different temperatures and total ionic concentrations in aqueous solutions. These systems exhibit non-ideal behaviour in both phases, and the equilibrium characterization has been based on the law of mass action, using Wilson and Meisssner, and Kusik equations to correlate the activity coefficients in the resin and aqueous solutions, respectively. Equilibrium constants, standard thermodynamic properties (Gibbs free enthalpy changes, enthalpy and entropy) and Wilson binary parameters were obtained as functions of temperature.

    Notes: The kinetics of methane oxidative coupling (OCM) was studied using 1 g of Na-Mn2O3 catalyst at 1073 to 1123 K, in an integral flow reactor (I.d. = 10 mm), at atmospheric pressure with methane and oxygen partial pressures of 0.27 and 0.13 bar, respectively, so that the ratio of CH4 to O2 was 2. The flow rate range was 50 to 200 ml/min. the kinetic data were analyzed by the Rideal-redox type of rate equation assuming the methyl radical and active surface oxygen to be the steady-state intermediates. Oxidation and reduction rate constants (Kox, Kred) for methane consumption were calculated from experimental catalysis results by computer simulation using the multiple least squares method. The activation energies at rate constants Kox and Kred for this type of catalyst were reported as 43.26 and 62.2 kcal/mol, respectively.

    Notes: This article presents a humidification-dehumidification (H.D.) process suitable for desalination of sea- and brackish water. The work correlates performance characteristics of the combination of different components in such a loop. Water yield, energy requirement and design data are evaluated as functions of different parameters. The investigation covered water to air mass ratios ranging from 60 to 80, concentration ratios between 2 and 5, at a temperature difference of between 10 and 16 °C, along the liquid for dehumidification. The results showed that 76% of energy consumed in the humidifier is recovered by condensation. Increase of the concentration ratio to 5 can reduce the make-up water and rejected brine by about 58% and 24% respectively. Cost calculations show that the H.D. process has significant potential as an alternative for small capacity desalination plants and permits to operate systems as small as 10 m3/day in output.

    Notes: Mixing of gas, solids and heat in a commercial FCC regenerator, 5.76 m in diameter, was investigated. This regenerator was operated at a high superficial gas velocity (〉1.2 m/s) and high temperature (650-710°C). It is classified as a highly efficient regenerator. The profiles of coke content in the catalyst, gas composition, temperature and pressure were obtained by sampling and instrumental measurement. It was confirmed that a proposed axial dispersion model could be used for a satisfactory prediction of these experimental profiles. The values of gas and solids dispersion coefficients are also presented.

    Notes: Operating characteristics of an agitator in a tube are necessary for the calculation of its pumping capacity and power consumption in a given configuration. General dimensionless equations for pumping and power characteristics are presented which were derived by inspection analysis of basic equations. Experimental procedure for the determination of these characteristics is put forward. This procedure is based on the measurement of flow rate or pressure rise and power consumption for an agitator in a draft tube, calandria or closed tube. The measurements and their evaluation are illustrated on the example of a three-blade screw agitator.

    Notes: The effects of metal exchange between zeolites and alkali metals (Li, Na, K; zeolite Y, ZSM-5, T), alkaline earths (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; ZSM-5), transition metals (La, Ce, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Cu, Zn; ZSM-5) and aluminium (ZSM-5) on the conversion of ethanol were studied. Activities of the catalysts and selectivities for ethene, C3+ olefins, paraffins and arenes strongly depended on the cation, chosen for the modification. Only ethene was formed by alkali exchanged zeolites, the most active being Li-Y. This could be confirmed by a long-term ageing test with Li-Y pellets under semi-industrial conditions. The exchange of ZSM-5 with alkaline earths or transition metals permitted the formation of a wide variety of products, raning from high ethene to high aromatic yields. A correlation between certain product selectivities and electronegativity was only possible in a rough approximation.

    Notes: Distributions of pressure and velocity in the main channels were studied in a radial flow cold model of a moving bed reactor, 500 mm in diameter, in four different gas flow modes, inward Z gas flow, inward Π gas flow, outward Z gas flow, outward Π gas flow. It has been found that, in outward Π gas flow mode, the axial non-uniformity of the gas is at a minimum. The following correlations are proposed for the momentum recovery factors Ka and Kb: Ka = 0.684 + 0.0128 (du/dx)/u, Kb = 1.135 + 0.0158 (du/dx)/u. Pressure distributions in the main channels can be accurately predicted using Ka and Kb.

    Notes: Enzymes are of growing interest to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries as highly specific biocatalysts. An obstacle to a large-scale application of such proteins is the expenditure on recovery operations which can amount up to 80% of the total production costs. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate in detail the individual stages of downstream processing in order to obtain high product yields without loss of quality. After a survey of recovery operations and information on some special features of proteins which are relevant to downstream processing, this paper deals with the methods of precipitation, chromatography and foam fractionation. Several results obtained with a real, multicomponent system, namely the supernatant of lipase fermentation, are presented and compared with one another.

    Notes: Acid catalyzed cracking and bifunctional cracking of n-heptane were investigated on HZSM-5 catalysts. At a reaction temperature of 543 K, the cracking on metal-free zeolite was found to be directly proportional to hydrogen partial pressure. Hydrogen influences the hydrogenation of product olefins and carbon deposits and therefore enhances the overall activity. Under the same conditions, in the presence of platinum, the hydrocracking rate reaches a maximum with increasing hydrogen partial pressure. The reaction can be formally described by a Langmuir Hinshewood mechanism: hydrogen is adsorbed on Pt in competition with hydrocarbons. The maximum reaction rate depends on a favourable ratio of the two adsorbed reactants. The energy of activation of hydrocracking was over 100 kJ/mol higher than that of acid cracking.

    Notes: The optimization of a chemical synthesis aims at an adjustment of the operating conditions, i.e. pH, temperature and initial concentrations, in order to obtain maximum yield, minimum operating costs or similar. The optimization effort may be considerable so that, in many cases, its cost cannot be justified, especially for small volume products. This paper introduces a new strategy, namely to establish the optimum operating conditions with a relatively small effort. The new approach is illustrated by the synthesis of 2-furyl oxirane. In the first step, a simplified mechanistic process model has to be determined on the basis of easily accessible experimental data. Initial and final concentrations of all reacting components, reaction time and temperature must be known. A two-step evaluation yields the stoichiometric coefficients of all the occurring reactions as well as the parameters of the Arrhenius model. This so-called trend model is used in the optimization of the operating conditions. It is not only important to know the optimum operating conditions but also to maintain them as close as possible in practical operation. An adaptive controller is well suited to such an application and its use is discussed.

    Notes: In order to predict mass transfer in packed columns, it is necessary to know the interfacial area. The well-known and often cited equation (Onda, Kolev, Zech, etc.) do not yield precise values for the mass transfer coefficient βL ae or the interfacial area ae, especially for modern packing elements. A new model will be presented which takes into account the structure of packing (cylinder model) as well as the structure of the liquid hold-up. This model allows the separation of liquid flow through packings into its main constituents, i.e. rivulets and drops (freely falling). The determination of the structure of liquid flow allows the prediction of effective interfacial areas as well as of volumetric mass transfer coefficients for irrigated large packing elements manufactured from plastics, metals or ceramic. The applicability to novel future packings is one of the advantages of the new model.

    Notes: The use of ozone as initiating agent in the liquid phase oxidation of α-pinene has been investigated. The first intermediate product of the reaction is the hydroperoxide of α-pinene. Both, ozone partial pressure and its initiation time exert an inhibiting effect on the conversion of α-pinene but yield higher selectivities for the hydroperoxide of α-pinene compared with those of oxidation without ozone. In all cases, temperature was found to be the most important variable affecting the oxidation rate. From a mechanism of radical reactions, kinetic equations, consistent with the experimental results, corresponding to α-pinene oxidation rate and net formation rate of its hydroperoxide, were obtained. The rate constants are given as functions of temperature. The results also suggest that a fraction of the hydroperoxy radicals decomposes to yield other products such as verbenol and verbenone, identified in this work, and whose kinetics will be reported in a later paper.

    Notes: Based on the equation for entrainment of a turbulent free jet, a simple method of designing gas and gas-liquid injectors is presented. Using the formula for mass flow ratio of an injector consisting of a nozzle and a short cylindrical mixing tube open at both ends, a general equation for designing any injector with variable geometry and flow resistances is given. The optimization procedure is outlined. Compared to the conventional design of injectors, starting from macroscopic mass and momentum balances, the present method is much simpler, easily applicable and involves only one empirical entrainment coefficient. It is particularly advantageous in the case of variable density of the motive and entrained fluids since the density ratio appears explicitly in the relevant equations.

    Notes: The hydrodynamic behaviour of a cocurrent gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed was studied by using the bed collapse technique. The key parameters, k and x, of the generalized wake model were estimated. Compared with other existing methods for evaluating the parameters k and x, the bed collapse technique shows some distinct advantages. Parameters are derived directly from experiments in a three-dimensional three-phase fluidized bed and there is no need to assume that a bubble and its wake form a perfect sphere. Hold-up data of the three-phase fluidized bed predicted by the generalized wake model with k and x estimated by the bed collapse technique are in good agreement with those obtained via the traditional pressure-drop method.

    Notes: The influence of solids concentration and static mixers on the hydrodynamics of the gas phase was studied for a three-phase fluidized bed bioreactor (air, nutrient solution, biocatalyst Ca alginate beads). Axial gas hold-up profiles, radial gas velocity profiles, mean bubble diameter and gas/liquid interfacial area per unit volume were measured in a bubble column (DR = 0.142 m, HR = 1.748 m). The influence of solids concentration on the gas hold-up is insignificant; static mixers enhance the gas hold-up in the reactor volume element in which they are installed. Axial gas velocity decreases with increasing solids concentration. At high solids concentrations, static mixers exert little influence on the gas phase but, at low concentrations, they do. A model is suggested to describe the influence of solids concentration (characterized by turbulent viscosity vt) and static mixers (characterized by profile parameter n) on the gas velocity profile.

    Notes: Acidianus brierleyi was demonstrated to remove pyritic sulphur from coal. A. brierleyi was also found capable of catalyzing the removal of what is normally reported as organic sulphur from coal 171US34. A kinetic analysis was performed by assuming a first order reaction. The first order kinetics allowed a comparison with literature data for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Also, formation of jarosite was taken into account in the analysis. The simple first order kinetics was observed to fit the data on removal of sulphur satisfactorily.

    Notes: It was established by using double impulse method that the transmission time of an ultrasonic wave, which passes near a bubble, is either shorter or longer than that in the liquid system. This is attributed to the fluid vortex originated by the bubble rising ahead of the wave. The longitudinal distribution of gas hold-up in a three-phase system, measured by analyzing wave shape and reduction of transmission time is in good agreement with that obtained by using the static pressure method. This indicates the possibility of application of ultrasonic techniques to the simultaneous measurement of phase hold-ups in the three-phase system.

    Notes: The effects of gas velocity (0.32 to 0.67 m/s), inlet gas temperature (25 to 100 °C) and the mass ratio of starch to inert particles (0.1 to 0.4) on the drying rate of starch in a 0.083 m-ID × 0.80 m-high inert medium fluidized bed were investigated. The drying mechanism in an inert medium fluidized bed can be classified into adhesion-dispersion, evaporation and disintegration steps. The drying rate increases with the increasing inlet gas temperature and velocity; the rates being about 10 times those reported for an agitated pan dryer. However, the drying rate decreases slightly as the mass ratio of starch to inert particles increases. Also, the drying rate exhibits a maximum at an optimum bed porosity. The drying rate data obtained in an inert medium fluidized bed have been correlated with the relevant dimensionless groups, i.e. Stefan and particle Reynolds numbers based on the theory of isotropic turbulence.

    Notes: Ozonization of water in a cooling tower was investigated. A laboratory experimental set-up was employed to study changes in water quality during ozonization. Measured data were analyzed in the context of cooling water's resistance to corrosion, scaling and biofouling. A method is proposed for determining the suitable dosage of ozone for maintaining the necessary water quality. It has been found that ozonization is very effective in maintaining the correct water quality for the required purpose and provides an attractive alternative to the conventional multiple chemical method of cooling water treatment.

    Notes: Fuzziness is quite a different notion from probability. Probability describes the objective uncertainty obtained on the basis of a large number of observations. Fuzziness describes the uncertainity that has a subjective meaning. Fuzzy notions describe the degrees of possession of a given property. The popularity of fuzzy set theory in solving control problems results from its ability to treat some situations which are difficult to deal with by the classical control theory. Fuzzy sets are used to control ill-defined, complex, non-linear systems. There are two aspects of this phenomenon. The first aspect concerns the descriptive ability of fuzzy sets. The second important feature is the applicability of fuzzy sets to work with incomplete, contradictory and subjective information. Fuzzy set theory is becoming increasingly important tool in the new fast developing disciplines of artificial intelligence: expert systems and neural networks. It creates completely new opportunities for the application of fuzzy sets in chemical engineering.

    Notes: High temperature oxidation of some metals contained in special alloys has been studied. Defect models for pure an doped CoO and pure NiO were developed and fitted to electrical conductivity data. The models involve different kinds of theoretically possible complex defects with different numbers of vacancies and interstitials forming a cluster. Equilibrium constants for defects formation have been estimated using an algorithm based on the constrained variation method that allows fitting of data to implicit models involving errors in all the measured variables. Results indicate the presence of a significant concentration of complex defects in CoO at high temperatures, while confirming the rather small concentration of these defects in NiO.
