This study reports the optimization of pyrolysis process for the synthesis of bone char for fluoride removal from water. Specifically, we have performed a detailed analysis of the adsorption properties of bone char samples obtained at different operating conditions of pyrolysis. Results show that the pyrolysis temperature plays a major role to synthetize an effective bone char for water defluoridation. In particular, a pyrolysis temperature higher than 700 °C may cause the dehydroxylation of the hydroxyapatite of bone char affecting its fluoride adsorption capacities. The best adsorption properties of bone char for fluoride removal are obtained with those samples synthetized …

Global Gibbs Free Energy Minimization In Reactive Systems Via Harmony Search, Adrian Bonilla-Petriciolet, Ma. Del Rosario Moreno-Virgen, Juan Jose Soto-Bernal
Adrian Bonilla-Petriciolet
Phase equilibrium calculations in systems subject to chemical reactions play a major role in the design of reactive separation schemes including chemical reaction engineering. Basically, these calculations involve the global minimization of Gibbs free energy constrained by the material balances and chemical equilibrium restrictions. However, Gibbs free energy function is non-convex, highly non-linear with many decision variables, and may have several local minimums including trivial and nonphysical solutions. In these conditions, conventional numerical methods are not suitable for solving reactive phase equilibrium problems. Recently, there has been a significant and increasing interest in the development of global strategies for reliably …

Among biofuels, bioethanol has increased in importance in many countries because it can be used directly or mixed with gasoline in combustion engines. The production of bioethanol in a fermentative process usually gives a dilute solution from which the bioethanol must be obtained in high concentration in order to be used as biofuel. The separation of an azeotropic mixture of ethanol and water using batch and semi-batch distillation was studied considering ethylene glycol and ionic liquids as entrainers. The simulation and experimental results indicate that the separation is favored using ethylene glycol in comparison to the use of ionic liquid; …
