Model fitting of laboratory-generated experimental data is a foundational task in engineering, bridging theoretical models with real-world data to enhance predictive accuracy. This process is particularly valuable in batch dynamic experiments, where...
Coffee cherry waste, a byproduct of coffee production, presents significant environmental challenges due to its large volume—approximately 20 million tons annually. The disposal of this waste, which includes pulp and mucilage, often leads to po...
This study investigates the liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) of a cyclohexane (1) + benzene (2) + [N,N-dimethylformamide + sodium thiocyanate] (3) system. Experimental tie-line data were obtained at 298.15 K and 318.15 K under atmospheric pressu...
Plant-based preparation of nanomaterials has become a recent global research focus due to its cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and environmentally friendly approach. This study aims to synthesize silver nanoparticles (HAgNPs) using red lentil husk...
The current electrolytes used for metal electrodeposition mostly use aqueous solutions that limit the range and quality of possible coatings. Also, some of these solutions may contain toxic and corrosive chemicals. Thus, the importance of ionic liqui...
This paper reports studies on the thermal chemistry of the flash pyrolysis (heating rate of 20,000 °C/s up to 800 °C) of non-fossil fuel carbon (NFF-C) waste (or refuse-derived fuel, RDF) in the context of using this as an alternative reducta...
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural polymer produced through biotechnological processes, is initially synthesized with a high molecular weight, which is subsequently reduced for specific applications. This work aims to develop an experimental laboratory...
Petroleum refining and petrochemical complexes are significant sources of air pollution, emitting a variety of harmful pollutants with substantial health risks for nearby populations. While much of the information regarding this issue and the potenti...
This study introduces an innovative approach to modifying polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) membranes for wastewater treatment applications. Terephthalic-co-glycerol-g-fumaric acid (TGF) was used as an innovative nanopolymer pore former. By incorporating TGF...
In this study, an examination was conducted of the influence of iron tallate on the composition and properties of highly viscous oil from the Strelovskoye deposit in the Samara region under thermal–catalytic treatment (TCT). The research reveal...
Tetrafluoromethane (CF4) is the simplest perfluorocarbon, a class of compounds with very high greenhouse gas potential. Catalytic hydrolysis offers an opportunity to convert these compounds to manageable CO2 and HF. Recently published data showed the...
Four differently shaped monolithic catalyst supports were made using 3D printing technology. Two catalytically active mixed oxides, MnFeOx and MnCuOx, were applied to the monolithic supports using the impregnation technique. Catalysts were characteri...
Many designs of industrial reactors stem from designs from the 1960s–1970s. For a wide range of reactions, these designs lead to suboptimal reaction configurations due to limitations in heat- or mass-transfer. Process intensification has come u...
Density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the inhibition mechanism of cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant corrosion inhibitors (CIs) with varying chain lengths in 1.0 M HCl and 500 ppm ac...
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash, containing substantial amounts of calcium (Ca), chloride (Cl), and other valuable elements, offers promising potential as a raw material for carbon capture, utilization (CCU), and alkali production....
Internal airflow dynamics play a crucial role in spray drying engineering by governing particle transport and, consequently, the quality of dried products. For this application, airflow dynamics represent short- and long-timescale behaviors across th...
Fuel blending plays a very important role in petroleum refineries, because it directly affects the quality of the end products, as well as the overall profitability of the refinery. This process of blending involves a combination of various hydrocarb...
Power plants are one of the main sources emitting the CO2 that is responsible for climate change consequences. Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC), particularly using an aqueous solution, is highly recommended to be used as a mitigation solution to...
The mechanical properties of faecal sludge (FS) influence its moisture retention characteristics to a greater extent than other properties. A comprehensive fundamental characterisation of the mechanical properties is scarcely discussed in the literat...
This study investigates the tribological effects of nano-sized metal oxides (ZrO2, CuO, Y2O3 and TiO2) in Group III type base oil containing 0.3% pour point depressant (PPD) and 5% viscosity modifier (VM) to enhance friction and wear performance. The...
