Measurements were taken at different axial levels, for different chordal positions. An Eulerian–Eulerian approach was used to simulate the gas–solid flow in the stripper column. The CFD simulations predicted asymmetric solid holdup profiles emphasizing the importance of 3D simulations. The CFD model predictions matched well with the solid holdup data from experiments. The CFD model also clearly predicted the recirculation and dead zones as noticed in the experimental analysis. Local defluidization zones were also noticed near the donut baffle wall regions. The particle axial velocity was low near the baffle walls, indicating that the particles slide down on the baffle walls. The radial and axial variations of solid holdup are discussed in this work, giving new knowledge in the complex countercurrent operation. This work is first of its kind to report detailed 3D study on the hydrodynamics of stripper operation both in cold flow and in the CFD model.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:41 AEDT ]]> Effect of sarcosinate on the absorption kinetics of CO₂ into aqueous ammonia solution https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19157 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:20 AEDT ]]> Trapping of nitric oxide, generated during sensitization of ammonium nitrate emulsion explosive, by aromatic nitroso sulfonates https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20193 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:31 AEDT ]]> Protonation constants and thermodynamic properties of amino acid salts for CO₂ capture at high temperatures https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19303 m) and entropies (ΔS⁰m) of the protonation reactions were also determined by the van't Hoff equation. It was found that sarcosine can maintain a higher pKₐ than the other amino acids studied at high temperatures. We also found that the CO₂ solubilities and overall mass-transfer coefficients of 5 m' sarcosinate (moles of sarcosine per kilogram of solution) at 333-353 K are higher than those of 30% MEA at 313-353 K. These results show that some possible benefits can be produced from the use of sarcosine as a fast solvent for CO₂ absorption at high temperatures. However, the pronotation reaction of sarcosine is the least exothermic among those of all amino acids studied. This could lead to a high regeneration energy consumption in the sarcosinate-based CO2 capture process.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:59 AEDT ]]> Experimental study on fundamental mechanisms of ferro-fluidics for an electromagnetic energy harvester https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25945 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:26 AEDT ]]> Experimental results and theoretical modeling of the growth kinetics of polyamine-derived silica particles https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27708 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:10 AEDT ]]> Experimental study on the reaction of CCl₃F and CH₄ in a dielectric barrier discharge nonequilibrium plasma reactor https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26110 –1 (the applied voltage range was 14.1 to 15.2 kV, peak–peak). The electrical discharge was characterized and found to be a slight modification of filamentary discharge toward a diffuse discharge due to the presence of the relatively low concentration of CCl₃F and CH₄ (less than 2% each) in argon.

In the present study, we examined the in situ reaction of DBNBS with nitric oxide (NO), generated via the reduction of nitrite under acidic conditions at room temperature. Significant quantities of N₂ were detected during the reaction using the membrane inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS), which suggested the homolytic cleavage of the C–N bond of a diazenyl radical, formed by decomposition of a DBNBS-NO adduct is a key reaction step which occurs during trapping. Measurements by nanostructured assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometer (NALDI-MS) established that the primary product from the reaction was 3,4,5-trinitrobenzene sulfonate, with a molecular weight of 291.880 amu. The technique also disclosed the formation of other nitrobenzene products. The results obtained in the present study provide evidence of a new, competing reaction pathway occurring in the presence of added nitrite, whereby a nitro group is introduced in the aromatic system by coupling with a phenyl radical to yield a radical anion, which reacts readily with the electrophile N₂O₃, also present in the system.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:12 AEDT ]]> Numerical study of the orientation of cylindrical particles in a circulating fluidized bed https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26005 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:35 AEDT ]]> Experimental and kinetic studies of gas-phase pyrolysis of n-C₄F₁₀ https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4449 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:06 AEDT ]]> Simulation of enthalpy and capacity of CO₂ absorption by aqueous amine systems https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4444 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:05 AEDT ]]> Effect of nanoconvection caused by Brownian Motion on the enhancement of thermal conductivity in nanofluids https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23738 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:55 AEDT ]]> Colloidal silica particle synthesis and future industrial manufacturing pathways: a review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23825 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:14 AEDT ]]> Kinetics of Decomposition of PFOS Relevant to Thermal Desorption Remediation of Soils https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48752 Mon 29 Apr 2024 11:47:42 AEST ]]> Modeling and Experimental Study on the Thermal Decomposition of Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) in an α-Alumina Reactor https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51163 Mon 29 Apr 2024 11:26:01 AEST ]]> Thermal Decomposition of Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) in the Presence of Water Vapor https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51161 Mon 29 Apr 2024 11:12:39 AEST ]]> Thermal Mineralization of Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) to HF, CO2, and SO2 https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50674 Mon 29 Apr 2024 10:51:36 AEST ]]> Three-dimensional VOF-DEM model for simulating particle dynamics in the liquid slugs of a vertical gas-liquid-solid Taylor flow microreactor https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41059 Mon 25 Jul 2022 15:45:25 AEST ]]> Flame propagation and reflections of pressure waves through fixed beds of RTO devices: a CFD study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37097 Mon 17 Aug 2020 13:30:43 AEST ]]> Structure of silica polymers and reaction mechanism for formation of silica-rich precipitated phases in direct aqueous carbon mineralization https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38019 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (29Si SS NMR), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to characterize carbonation products and to understand the mechanism of formation and the structure of silica-rich byproducts. Thermodynamic analysis predicts the formation of magnesite and amorphous silica in the process of direct aqueous carbonation of heat-activated lizardite under the experimental conditions studied. Characterization of carbonation products disclosed the presence of magnesite, amorphous silica, and magnesium silicate phases. Analysis of supernatant solutions obtained from direct aqueous carbonation by MALDI spectroscopy showed the presence of silica polymers, which precipitate during the carbonation experiments.

A series of (GaN)1–x(ZnO)x (0.11 ≤ x ≤ 0.33) compounds are synthesized by calcining the carbonate-type Zn/Ga-LDH precursor with and without sodium carbonate flux at 850 °C for 8–14 h under a NH₃ gas flow. The solid solutions without flux are determined to be low in crystallinity, but platelike morphology with preferred orientation could be observed. On the other hand, those with flux turn out to be better in crystallinity, and eventually exhibit significantly higher photocatalytic activity for overall water splitting under visible light irradiation than those without flux. In addition, the band gap energies can also be engineered from 2.57 to 2.72 eV by changing a synthetic parameter such as nitridation time. It is, therefore, suggested that the present new approach can offer new opportunities for designing the next generation of photocatalytic systems.]]> Fri 17 Jan 2020 09:43:08 AEDT ]]>
