Abstract

Bioethanol is a renewable energy source that can replace fossil fuels. The advantages in terms of economy and its impact on the environment make bioethanol was chosen as a biofuel. Bioethanol can be produced from various types of biomasses with the help of microorganisms, namely yeast, for the fermentation process. In manufacturing, factors including temperature, concentration, pH, fermentation time, and stirring speed influence the fermentation process. Computational Fluid dynamics (CFD) package can be applied to observe the procedures in a fermenter. CFD simulates fluid movement, energy transport, chemical reactions, and other phenomena with the aim of clarifying their impact on the overall effectiveness of bioethanol production. In this journal, a review of the fermentation process with CFD modeling was made to look at the parameters and phenomena during the bioethanol production process. The analysis commences with an examination of the processes involved in bioethanol production and underscores the crucial role of fermentation in transforming renewable resources into bioethanol. Subsequently, it delves into the foundational principles of CFD and how they are incorporated into the modeling of bioethanol fermenters. Furthermore, the review highlights key advancements and innovations in CFD modeling techniques, such as multiphase models, turbulence modeling, and coupled simulations, aiming to capture the intricate interplay of physical and biological phenomena within fermentors. Insights into the impact of operating conditions, reactor design, and microbial behavior on bioethanol yield and quality are discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex system dynamics.

Abstract

 In this research, the optimization and predictive modeling of gravimetric corrosion characteristics of Irvingia gabonensis leaf extracts (IGLE) as an anti-corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in hydrochloric acid were investigated. Design expert software version 11 were used to analyze the corrosion inhibition-related process characteristics, such as inhibition efficiency, corrosion rate, and weight loss, and their relationships. An effort were made to obtain the optimal conditions for these corrosion inhibition-related process characteristics. Weight loss measurement and design methodology were used for the evaluation of the inhibition efficiency of IGLE for mild steel in HCl. The corrosion inhibition process variables were optimized and predictive regression models were developed using Box-Behnken tool of the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The findings showed that there were a good fit between the model predictions and the experimental results. The quadratic models developed were significant with P value less than 0.05.  The research established an inhibition efficiency of 88.9%, a corrosion rate of 0.143mm/yr, and a weight loss of 0.02 g, which were obtained at the optimum conditions of an extract concentration of 0.6 g/L, an immersion time of 16 hrs, and a temperature of 298K.Therefore, the models were considered ideal for prediction with a confidence level of 95%, and the optimal combination is suitable for the corrosion inhibition process design. Hence these models can be recommended for applications such as oil well acidizing and pickling pipelines.

Abstract

The generation of oilseed wastewater is a matter of worry due to the presence of impurities that could have effects on ecosystems and human health. This study explores the potential use of rice husk chemically modified with 1M NaOH as an adsorbent to treat wastewater from Sunseed Nigeria Limited in Zaria, Nigeria. The adsorbent was characterized employing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which revealed the presence of carboxylic acid, alkanes, alkynes, and amide. Correspondingly, batch adsorption tests were conducted for a fixed period of 1 hour by using dosages of 2, 4, 8, 16, and 20 g. The findings indicated that the turbidity, BOD, and COD had the highest percentage of removal at dosages of 2 g, 20 g, and 2 g, respectively, with removal percentages of 81.48 %, 81.3 %, and 85 %. Also, lead and cadmium had removal percentages of 17.5% and 87.6%, respectively, at a dosage of 20 g. Furthermore, the Langmuir isotherm offered a greater fit for turbidity and total solids, with R2 values of 0.5355 and 0.8870, respectively, with the resultant absorption capacities of 0.0074 mg/g and 0.0249 mg/g. Similarly, the Freundlich isotherm described the BOD and COD well, with R2 of 0.6097 and 0.9678, respectively, and relative adsorption capacities of 1.3104 mg/g and 4.808*106 mg/g. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rice husk adsorbent has demonstrated effectiveness in removing certain physicochemical pollutants from oilseed industrial wastewater.

Abstract

Green chemistry has become trending recently, and the discovery of environmentally friendly catalysts is mandatory. Activated carbons (ACs) are one of the most environmentally friendly yet cheap materials that have the potential for catalyst application. Three commercially available ACs from Pancasari, Norit, and Chemical Supply were used as metal-free catalysts for advanced oxidation process (AOP) phenol removal in water in the presence of oxidants peroxydisulfate (PDS), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It was found that ACs were effective to be used as catalysts for activating those oxidants to oxidize phenol in AOP reactions. In this study, the surface area of the catalyst significantly improved the phenol removal efficiency. ACs Pancasari (ACP) with the highest surface area has the best degradation performance of phenol removal with up to 99% removal efficiency in 60 minutes under the condition of [phenol] = 30 mg L-1, [ACP] = 0.2 g L-1, [PDS] = 3.3 mmol L-1, and T = 25oC. it was also found that the degradation process was significantly influenced by reaction temperature. Nevertheless, in this study, ACs display the potential as catalysts in the AOP process for wastewater treatments.

Abstract

Switched Reluctance Machines (SRMs) have drawn interest in renewable energy systems because of their special qualities and applicability. This study examines the idea of hysteresis current regulation in a wind energy conversion system with a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG). The system is modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The model is simulated and analyzed to ascertain the system’s benefits and shortcomings, focusing on reducing torque ripples in SRG. Considering most classical controllers are complicated to construct, the hysteresis current control is straightforward and effective. However, this controller's two primary shortcomings are that it produces a variable switching frequency and increases current ripples at a steady state, both enhancing acoustic noise in SRM.  Lastly, the report suggests that improving controller performance should be the primary emphasis of future research in this field.

Abstract

Despite the measures taken by most countries, lead pollution still poses an environmental and health risk to humans, especially children. Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate lead in the air and its impact on children's health. Lead samples from the air and children's urine were collected from three different areas within Kerbala Governorate: the urban city center residential areas, and rural areas as a reference area for comparison.  A suspended dust collector was used to collect lead samples, and then the lead concentration was measured using an atomic spectrometer after digesting them with acids.  The results of the study showed that the highest concentration of lead was in the center of the urban area (3.150 ?g/m3) and its mean concentration in the air was 1.703 (?g/m3), which is higher than the US Environmental Protection Agency limits, with statistically significant differences between the study areas p < 0.01. The mean concentration of lead in children's urine was 0.622 (?g/dL) with statistically significant differences between the areas p < 0.01. Pearson's correlation coefficient indicated a significant positive correlation between the concentration of lead in the air and children's urine (r = 0.651; p < 0.05). This means that high lead concentrations in children's urine are due to lead air pollution and are an indicator of lead pollution in the environment and warn of potential risks to children's health. Therefore, the study recommends reducing lead emission sources and conducting periodic examinations.

Abstract

The repair of worn steel shaft surfaces in power transmission systems is made possible by thermal spray procedures, which have become an essential technology in many sectors. With this novel approach, worn shaft components may be recycled effectively since an API 687-compliant wear-resistant coating designed for specialty rotating equipment repairs is applied. The process's efficacy stems from its capacity to extend the functional life of essential mechanical components, therefore decreasing replacement expenses and downtime. The variety of factors that affect the result highlights the intricacy of thermal spray techniques. Finding the ideal mix of these crucial process variables becomes essential to provide the required degree of wear resistance. The coated shafts perform better as a result of this careful tuning, which also guarantees dependability under challenging working conditions. The coated shafts' surface hardness data in this investigation showed that the initial coating hardness value was below the predetermined goals. Several parts that interact with the shaft were redesigned strategically in response to these discoveries. These adjustments were mainly motivated by economic considerations, to optimize effectiveness while resolving the noted hardness deficiencies. Furthermore, a thorough analysis of failure data showed important correlations between different operational parameters and how they interacted, offering a further understanding of how these factors affected wear resistance. This research allowed for the identification of crucial parameters that required change and emphasized the precise balance essential for optimum thermal spray application. All things considered, this study emphasizes how critical it is to use a methodical approach to improve thermal spray processes, guarantee successful shaft component restoration, and ultimately increase the operational longevity of such components in challenging applications.

Abstract

The consumption of microplastics can have harmful effects. To effectively remove microplastics from water using an affordable device, this study developed a ceramic filter based on clay and waste glass. The research evaluated the addition of a porogenic agent and the effects of firing temperature. In the formulations, clay was substituted by a porogenic agent with 10 and 20 by weight, maintaining 10 by weight of waste glass. Ceramic filters were produced by molding press, and evaluated for their physical properties. Its performance was assessed by water permeability at different pressures, leaching of elements, and removal of microplastics. As a result, formulations with a higher porogenic agent content and lower firing temperature present superior permeability, however, permeability increases after higher pressure tests, when structure fracture may occur. Moreover, the formulation with the lowest porosity (without adding a porogenic agent) achieved an impressive removal rate of nearly 99.8%. It was concluded that a ceramic filter could retain microplastics well, as long as the filtration pressure and porosity were optimized to obtain the best results – higher filtration without fracture.

Abstract

The immobilization processes for nuclear waste have gained significant attention from the scientific community due to the growing global activity in the nuclear industry. Although these processes have been studied and applied since the mid-20th century, many questions remain that require further in-depth research, including the immobilization itself and the deposition of wasteforms in repositories designed to safeguard against future exposure. In this study, highly phase-pure zeolite A was synthesized via hydrothermal processing of coal fly ash from a Brazilian thermal power plant and loaded with Cs to evaluate thermal stability, structure, and immobilization in Nb-aluminoborosilicate and geopolymer matrices. Cs adsorption, confirmed by XRD peak intensity and Raman band changes, showed a 26 wt.% incorporation (INAA) after 24-hour sorption using simulated CsCl solution, a notable result given the fly ash impurities. The zeolite structure remained stable during the heating up to 960 °C, forming water-insoluble phases (pollucite and cesium aluminum oxide) right after structural collapse between 700 °C and 900 °C. Up to 40 wt.% of Cs-loaded waste was incorporated into a monolithic ceramic via thermal treatment of Nb-aluminoborosilicate glass and zeolite A at 900 °C for 2 hours, yielding a dense body (2.4 g/cm³) with low porosity (3.6%) and water absorption (1.63%). In contrast, raw Cs-loaded zeolite A showed high porosity (48%), water absorption (33%), and low density (1.44 g/cm³). Crystalline Cs phases formed at lower temperatures (900 °C) due to the devitrification nature of the glass. Geopolymer matrices immobilizing Cs-loaded zeolite exhibited water leachability comparable to similar materials, meeting nuclear waste disposal requirements.
