Detailed population balance modelling of TiO 2 synthesis in an industrial reactor

Population Balance Modelling of Zirconia Nanoparticles in Supercritical Water Hydrothermal Synthesis

Like any other precipitation process, in supercritical water hydrothermal synthesis (SWHS), the need to improve product quality and minimize production cost requires understanding and optimization of Particle Size Distribution (PSD). In this work, using Population Balance Equation (PBE) containing nucleation and growth terms, the reactive precipitation of zirconia nanoparticles prepared by ...

Continuous Lumping Model of an Industrial Refinery Isomax Reactor

A Photocatalytic Rotating Disc Reactor with TiO₂ Nanowire Arrays Deposited for Industrial Wastewater Treatment.

A photocatalytic rotating disc reactor (PRD-reactor) with TiO₂ nanowire arrays deposited on a thin Ti plate is fabricated and tested for industrial wastewater treatment. Results indicate that the PRD-reactor shows excellent decolorization capability when tested with methyl orange (>97.5%). Advanced oxidation processes (AOP), including photocatalytic oxidation and photolytic reaction, occurred d...

Multiobjective optimization of an industrial styrene reactor

The paper describes a multiobjective optimization study for industrial styrene reactors using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA). Several twoand threeobjective functions, namely, production, yield and selectivity of styrene, are considered for adiabatic as well as steam-injected styrene reactors. Pareto optimal (a set of equally good) solutions are obtained due to conflicting effect...
