Abstract Titanium silicates of MWW structures with different Si/Ti ratios were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis using piperidine as the structure directing agent and boric acid crystallization agent. All syntheses resulted in highly crystalline materials independent ratio. The observed morphology showed MWW-like well-defined thin hexagonal platelets. synthesized Ti-MWW exhibited higher surfa...

The influence of reactor pressure up to 6.0 MPa on the dynamic liquid hold-up in the trickle-flow regime with superficial gas velocities up to 5.2 cm/s has been investigated for water, ethanol and aqueous 40% ethyleneglycol, with nitrogen as the gas phase. Without gas flow, i.e. single-liquid trickle-flow operation, the reactor pressure has no influence on the dynamic liquid hold-up, which can ...

the application of neural networks to model a laboratory scale inverse fluidized bed reactor has been studied. a radial basis function neural network has been successfully employed for the modeling of the inverse fluidized bed reactor. in the proposed model, the trained neural network represents the kinetics of biological decomposition of organic matters in the reactor. the neural network has b...

In this study, the homogeneity of the continuum model of a fixed bed reactor operated in steady state and unsteady state systems for lean CH4 oxidation is investigated. The steady-state fixed bed reactor system was operated under once-through direction, while the unsteady-state fixed bed reactor system was operated under flow reversal. The governing equations consisting of mass and energy balan...

A fluidized bed system combining two circulating fluidized bed reactors is proposed and investigated for chemical looping combustion using metal oxides as oxygen carriers. The global solids loop starts in one of the two reactors (primary reactor) where solids are entrained, separated from the gas in a cyclone and sent to the other reactor (secondary reactor) via a fluidized loop seal. From the ...
