Optimization of the Countercurrent Continuous Reforming Process Based on Equation-Oriented Modeling and the SQP Algorithm.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic reforming is a key technology in the petroleum refining and petrochemical industry. In recent years, countercurrent continuous reforming has put forward and practiced the new concept of matching the activity of the catalyst with the difficulty of the reaction. Based on the equation-oriented method, the steady-state model for the reactor-regenerator section of countercurrent continuous reforming was established, including the reactor module, the regenerator module, the compressor model, the heat exchanger model, the heating furnace model, and the oil property model. The inlet and outlet of each module are connected according to the actual technological process, and the model conforms to the requirement of real-time optimization (RTO). The sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is used for calculation in this study. The model is calibrated to make the calculated value more consistent with the actual value. The model simulation showed the trend of the reforming reaction and the difference between countercurrent reforming and cocurrent reforming. Finally, the process model was optimized for different goals such as the yield of aromatics, the yield of high-octane gasoline, and the yield of C₇ ⁺ aromatics. These results indicate that the established model can simulate the actual industrial process, which can meet the requirements of RTO, and obtain considerable profits for different optimization objectives.

Project description:The purposes was to establish optimal modeling of single-chain antibody molecules based on similarity algorithm and seek the connecting peptides that had the minimal effect on the structure and bioactivity of the variable region of heavy chain (VH) and that of light chain (VL) in a single-chain antibody against liver cancer. After the Linker with different lengths (n=0~7) had been added into single chain fragment variable (ScFv), modeling of the overall sequences of VH, VL and ScFv were conducted respectively. Meanwhile, the peptide chain structure of (Gly4Ser)n was adopted for the connecting peptide. Then the spatial spherical shell layer alignment algorithm based on spherical polar coordinates was utilized for comparing the structural similarity of VH and VL before and after adding connecting peptide. Equally, in order to determine the stability of VH and VL, MATLAB was applied for analysis of the fore and aft distances and the diffusion radius. Indirect ELISA method was used to detect single-chain antibody immunological activity of Linker with different lengths. The MTT assay was utilized for the examination of the inhibition rate of single-chain antibody with different lengths of Linker to liver cancer cell. When n=4, the structural similarity between VH together with VL and their original ones was the highest. When n=3, the influence of connecting peptide on the stability of VH and VL was minimum. When n>3, the fore and aft distances changed little due to the increase and fold of the length of peptide chain. The results of ELISA detection showed that when n=4, affinity of single chain antibody to liver cancer cells was much higher. The MTT test also indicated that when n=4, the inhibition rate of the connecting peptide on hepatoma carcinoma cell reached the highest, and that came second when n=3. When n=4, the structural stability and biological functions of anti-hepatoma single-chain antibody were both favorable. This study has provided a basis for the design and construction of single-chain antibody.

Project description:A microneedle (MN) array is a novel biomedical device adopted in medical applications to pierce through the stratum corneum while targeting the viable epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Owing to their micron-scale dimensions, MNs can minimize stimulations of the sensory nerve fibers in the dermis layer. For medical applications, such as wound healing, biosensing, and drug delivery, the structure of MNs significantly influences their mechanical properties. Among the various microfabrication methods for MNs, fused deposition modeling (FDM), a commercial 3D printing method, shows potential in terms of the biocompatibility of the printed material (polylactic acid (PLA)) and preprogrammable arbitrary shapes. Owing to the current limitations of FDM printer resolution, conventional micron-scale MN structures cannot be fabricated without a post-fabrication process. Hydrolysis in an alkaline solution is a feasible approach for reducing the size of PLA needles printed via FDM. Moreover, weak bonding between PLA layers during additive manufacturing triggers the detachment of PLA needles before etching to the expected sizes. Furthermore, various parameters for the fabrication of PLA MNs with FDM have yet to be sufficiently optimized. In this study, the thermal parameters of the FDM printing process, including the nozzle and printing stage temperatures, were investigated to bolster the interfacial bonding between PLA layers. Reinforced bonding was demonstrated to address the detachment challenges faced by PLA MNs during the chemical etching process. Furthermore, chemical etching parameters, including the etchant concentration, environmental temperature, and stirring speed of the etchant, were studied to determine the optimal etching ratio. To develop a universal methodology for the batch fabrication of biodegradable MNs, this study is expected to optimize the conditions of the FDM-based fabrication process. Additive manufacturing was employed to produce MNs with preprogrammed structures. Inclined MNs were successfully fabricated by FDM printing with chemical etching. This geometrical structure can be adopted to enhance adhesion to the skin layer. Our study provides a useful method for fabricating MN structures for various biomedical applications.
