Abstract

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a technique that converts heavy-fraction feed into fuel. The FCC catalyst components consist of a composite material made of zeolite, filler, binder, and an active matrix. The active matrix is used as a pre-cracker for the heavy-fraction feed. This study examined the impact of the Si/Al ratio and the addition of phosphorus on the physical properties and activity of the active matrix. The synthesis technique refers to US patent 6723297 B2. The utilized variants consisted of SiO2 ranging from 50 to 80 weight percent and a phosphorous addition ranging from 1 to 2 weight percent. The physical characteristics of the active matrix were assessed using nitrogen physisorption and NH3-Temperature programmed adsorption/desorption techniques. A chemical activity test was conducted using the micro activity test (MAT) method, with vacuum gas oil (VGO) as the feedstock. This test was done in accordance with the ASTM D 5154 – 03 standard. The results indicated that the silica composition in the active matrix is directly related to the average pore diameter but inversely related to the specific surface area. Additionally, the inclusion of phosphorus had a similar impact. The silica-alumina-phosphorous variant containing 75%-wt of SiO2 exhibited the most superior active matrix activity, achieving the maximum acquisition of light cycle oil (LCO) at 33%-wt.

Abstract

Autoclave-based production of composite laminates leads to extended time requirements, increased manufacturing expenses, and the accumulation of significant residual stress. These limitations have spurred research and innovation in seeking alternative out-of-autoclave (OOA) processing methods. The present study aimed to measure the impact of distinct and combined pre-forming parameters within the pre-forming process of vacuum bagging with oven curing (VBO-oven curing) on thickness, abnormalities, and void content in cured laminates of conventional, cost-effective glass/epoxy autoclave composite material. The abnormalities were analyzed using ultrasonic C-scan and thickness measurement was done to determine thickness variations. A burn-off test was employed to measure the void content. The relationship between processing parameters was subsequently investigated via analysis of variance (ANOVA). Higher thickness standard deviation was yielded at higher abnormality percentages in the C-scan results, resembling total discontinuities and non-uniformities. Voids were highest in the laminate produced via the standard pre-forming process. Edge breather, release wax, and intensifier reduced the void content by approximately 11.87%, 12.93% and 6.85%, respectively.

Abstract

To study the catastrophic mechanisms of retrogressive landslides and assess the stability post treatment, it is essential to examine the internal factors contributing to landslides. This involves a detailed analysis of the characteristics of engineering geology, environmental conditions, and the impact of engineering construction activities on the landslide area. The comprehensive treatment schemes for landslides are determined using deep displacement monitoring and numerical analysis. It has been shown that the process of the landslide mechanism can be divided into four stages, i.e., primary structure breakage, rock mass damage deterioration, rock mass softening in water, and rainfall-induced instability failure. Rock mass damage and rainfall caused by slope excavation are the main causes and inducements of landslide instability. The monitoring results of deep displacement have shown that the sliding surface of a landslide is fully integrated. To mitigate the risk of secondary disasters, this study proposes a comprehensive set of measures based on the mechanisms of landslide instability and the support principle of a compensated traction zone. These measures include the implementation of prestressed anti-slide piles, the application of molten steel pipe grouting, and enhanced drainage techniques. The displacement of the slope was reduced, showing that the treatment scheme had a good reinforcement effect.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the dynamic responses of machine foundations, both block and pile foundations, on stratified residual soils in Duri and Ulubelu, Indonesia. The evaluation was conducted using two widely recognized methods: the lumped mass method (LMM) and the finite element method (FEM). LMM and FEM were performed by utilizing DYNA and ABAQUS, respectively. The analysis results showed that LMM generally predicted more conservative displacements compared to FEM. This conservatism in predicted displacement was more pronounced for pile group foundations, which are inherently more flexible than block foundations. Additionally, this study found that the resonance frequencies obtained through both analysis methods were not the same. Furthermore, this paper includes a parametric study and presents its results to assess the influence of key factors, i.e., pile cap thickness, pile diameter, number of piles, and vertical dynamic loads, on displacement.

Abstract

There is a notable emphasis on the development of photocatalysts to degrade antibiotics, such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX), in aquatic environments due to their persistence and associated toxicological impacts. In this study, BiOBr photocatalysts were synthesized by incorporating in-situ Bi doping. Various Bi/BiOBr composites were produced through a hydrothermal method at varying temperatures and subsequently characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm. The characterization data revealed that the Bi-metal began to emerge at a hydrothermal temperature of 180 °C (BB180) in the BiOBr-based semiconductor and completed its conversion to Bi-metal at a hydrothermal temperature of 270 °C (BB270). This transformation leads to the generation of Bi3+ in conjunction with oxygen vacancies, acting as active electron traps and enhancing the separation efficiency of light-induced electron-hole pairs. This results in a narrow band gap of Bi/BiOBr photocatalyst, increasing its sensitivity towards visible light. BB180 exhibited the highest photocatalytic rate in the degradation of SMX with a removal efficiency of 74.35% within 4 hours of reaction under Xenon lamp irradiation and an apparent rate constant of 6.5 x 10-3 min-1, surpassing the commercial TiO2 Degussa P25. This finding opens up a new pathway for the development of a catalyst responsive to visible light, specifically designed for the detoxification of antibiotics in wastewater.

Abstract

Pedestrians often suffer severe injuries in road traffic accidents. Therefore, pedestrian safety and, more precisely, analysis of injuries of the knee joint and lower limb bones were the focus of this research. A Vietnamese-sized human body model (HBM), named V-THUMS, scaled from the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) representing a walking pedestrian, was utilized in a numerical simulation. A pickup truck model was used to simulate pedestrian collisions with impact speeds from 20 km/h to 50 km/h. To reduce the computational time, the pickup truck model was simplified. In addition, the collision angle was varied from 0o, 30o, 60o, 90o, -30o, -60o to -90o to explore the effect of angle position on the injury mechanisms of the leg. The results illustrate that in some cases at low speeds there is a relationship between bone fracture and ligament rupture that does not exist at high speeds. The femur is very difficult to fracture because the bone is very hard and thick. It was found that at 20 km/h impact speed, the lower limbs are unharmed.

Abstract

Full comprehension of precipitation patterns is crucially needed, especially in Pekan, a district in Pahang, Malaysia. The area is renowned for its elevated levels of precipitation, making it imperative to precisely categorize and enhance the analysis of rainfall patterns to facilitate effective resource allocation, agricultural productivity, and catastrophe readiness. The variability of rainfall patterns is contingent upon geographical location, necessitating the collection of a comprehensive data set that includes several characteristics that influence precipitation to make reliable predictions. Data were collected from the Vantage Pro2 weather station, which is located on the UMP Pekan campus. This study used the RT method to classify rainfall and T-Method 1 to determine the degree of contribution of each parameter. Significant parameters were validated using a data set from the same type of weather station but in a different district. The results showed that the Mahalanobis-Taguchi Bee Algorithm (MTBA) is more effective than the Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) in finding the significant parameters, but the parameters were a subset of MTS Teshima. Finally, the validation with T mean-based error (Tmbe) using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) revealed a pattern of errors to provide insight to find the significant parameters of MTS.

Abstract

Currently, 24.5% of the population of Bima City lack access to sanitation. The issue is predominantly concentrated in densely populated urban slums along the riverbanks, influenced by the cultural and societal context of Indonesian society. From 2021 to 2022, a comprehensive mixed-method study was conducted in three urban slums, applying the Integrated Framework for Sanitation Services (IFSS) to explore individual aspects within a socio-cultural context. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the research involved a household questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews (IDI). The study revealed that individual aspects are shaped by perceptions of the convenience of open defecation and latrine use as well as experiences with shared latrines, driving the adoption of private latrines. Challenges such as financial constraints and limited construction capabilities in urban slum communities often hinder latrine construction, though cultural and traditional values (adat) in the Bima community in urban slums help to alleviate these obstacles. A recommendation is made to enhance the monitoring of sanitation adoption progress, focusing on the sanitation system’s functioning and adherence to the sanitation hierarchy. Despite awareness of the importance of safe disposal, its impact on sanitation behavior in Bima City’s urban slums has been constrained, underscoring the imperative for effective behavior change communication strategies.
