Preparation and Characterization of Inorganic PCM Microcapsules by Fluidized Bed Method.

ABSTRACT: The literature shows that inorganic phase change materials (PCM) have been very seldom microencapsulated, so this study aims to contribute to filling this research gap. Bischofite, a by-product from the non-metallic industry identified as having good potential to be used as inorganic PCM, was microencapsulated by means of a fluidized bed method with acrylic as polymer and chloroform as solvent, after compatibility studies of both several solvents and several polymers. The formation of bischofite and pure MgCl₂·6H₂O microcapsules was investigated and analyzed. Results showed an efficiency in microencapsulation of 95% could be achieved when using 2 min of fluidization time and 2 kg/h of atomization flow. The final microcapsules had excellent melting temperatures and enthalpy compared to the original PCM, 104.6 °C and 95 J/g for bischofite, and 95.3 and 118.3 for MgCl₂·6H₂O.

Spout Fluidized Bed Assisted Preparation of Poly(tannic acid)-Coated Urea Fertilizer.

Project description:Slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) have been widely used to reduce environment pollution derived from excessive nutrients. Coated fertilizers have been designed and prepared using various materials. However, development of new green coating materials and simple process is still a huge challenge. In this study, tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol, was used to prepare poly(tannic acid) (PTA)-coated fertilizers with urea prills as the core, and the technology of the coating process in a spout fluidized bed was developed. PTA coating could be formed rapidly by the fast oxidation of TA by an oxidation solution containing CuSO4 and H2O2. The coated urea release behavior was systematically studied in water and soil. In both water and soil, the release rate of nitrogen from coated urea is much slower than that from raw urea. Raw urea was completely dissolved within 30 min, while 27% of urea was released from coated urea. The pot experiments indicated that coated urea has a positive effect on the plant growth as well. Our results provide an effective method to prepare environment-friendly SRFs, indicating a promising application in sustainable agriculture.

Extraction of Valuable Metals and Preparation of Mesoporous Materials from Circulating Fluidized Bed-Derived Fly Ash via an Acid-Alkali-Based Alternate Method.

Project description:Stringent leaching conditions including high pressure, temperature, and chemical consumption limit the extraction of valuable metals from circulating fluidized bed-derived high-alumina fly ash (CFB-HAFA) via the acid leaching method. In the present study, a complex utilization of CFB-HAFA, including the extraction of valuable metals (Al, Li, and Ga) and preparation of mesoporous material, is realized via a moderate acid-alkali-based alternate method. The results show that 82, 78, and 69% of Al, Li, and Ga, respectively, in CFB-HAFA are extracted by two treatments of acid leaching under moderate conditions of 15 wt % HCl concentration and 90 °C leaching temperature. The leaching behaviors of metals follow a shrinking core model, and the leaching process is first controlled by the surface chemical reaction at the initial stage and H+ diffusion thereafter. Numerous slit-shaped mesopores form in the residue during acid leaching. The final residue with a specific surface area of 273 m2/g can be used as an efficient adsorbent for removing methylene blue from dye wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacity is approximately 140.0 mg/g at room temperature. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo second-order model can well describe the adsorption process and kinetics, implying that the adsorption is a monolayer and chemical adsorption.

Calcination of Clay Raw Materials in a Fluidized Bed.

Project description:Clay raw materials are diverse in terms of their mineral composition, as well as the content of colouring oxides and their physical properties. Determining the suitability of raw materials for various purposes requires comprehensive studies on their properties, as well as their appropriate correction, which is possible through the use of appropriate modification techniques. One of the most commonly used technologies for the enrichment of clay raw materials is to subject them to high temperatures, which, depending on the temperature regime used in the technological process, may cause the decomposition and removal of some addditional components (e.g., carbonates), as well as the removal of water and dehydroxylation of clay minerals, reversible structural changes, and the complete and permanent reconstruction of the mineral phases. This paper presents a new application for fluidization technology in the calcination of clay raw materials. The results of the experiment show that the fluidization method is competitive compared to the technologies that have been used so far, as a result of, inter alia, the much shorter time period required to carry out the calcination process and, consequently, the much lower energy expenditure, the high efficiency of burning coal, and the lower CO2 emissions resulting from the mixing taking place in the reactor.

Effect of bed characters on the direct synthesis of dimethyldichlorosilane in fluidized bed reactor.

Project description:This paper presents the numerical investigation of the effects of the general bed characteristics such as superficial gas velocities, bed temperature, bed heights and particle size, on the direct synthesis in a 3D fluidized bed reactor. A 3D model for the gas flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer was coupled to the direct synthesis reaction mechanism verified in the literature. The model was verified by comparing the simulated reaction rate and dimethyldichlorosilane (M2) selectivity with the experimental data in the open literature and real production data. Computed results indicate that superficial gas velocities, bed temperature, bed heights, and particle size have vital effect on the reaction rates and/or M2 selectivity.

Antioxidant Activity of the Lignins Derived from Fluidized-Bed Fast Pyrolysis.

Project description:A challenge in recent years has been the rational use of forest and agriculture residues for the production of bio-fuel, biochemical, and other bioproducts. In this study, potentially useful compounds from pyrolytic lignins were identified by HPLC-MS/MS and untargeted metabolomics. The metabolites identified were 2-(4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanol, benzyl benzoate, fisetinidol, phenyllactic acid, 2-phenylpropionic acid, 6,3'-dimethoxyflavone, and vanillin. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH), trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), and total phenolics content (TPC) per gram of pyrolytic lignin ranged from 14 to 503 mg ascorbic acid equivalents, 35 to 277 mg trolox equivalents, and 0.42 to 50 mg gallic acid equivalents, respectively. A very significant correlation was observed between the DPPH and TPC (r = 0.8663, p ? 0.0001), TEAC and TPC (r = 0.8044, p ? 0.0001), and DPPH and TEAC (r = 0.8851, p ? 0.0001). The polyphenolic compounds in the pyrolytic lignins which are responsible for radical scavenging activity and antioxidant properties can be readily profiled with HPLC-MS/MS combined with untargeted metabolomics. The results also suggest that DPPH, TEAC, and TPC assays are suitable methods for the measurement of antioxidant activity in a variety of pyrolytic lignins. These data show that the pyrolytic lignins can be considered as promising sources of natural antioxidants and value-added chemicals.

Preparation and Characterization of Microcrystalline Wax/Epoxy Resin Microcapsules for Self-Healing of Cementitious Materials.

Project description:Self-healing of cracks in cementitious materials using healing agents encapsulated in microcapsules is an intelligent and effective method. In this study, microcapsules were prepared by the melt-dispersion-condensation method using microcrystalline wax as the shell and E-51 epoxy resin as the healing agent. The effects of preparation process parameters and microcrystalline wax/E-51 epoxy resin weight ratio on the core content, particle size distribution, thermal properties, morphology, and chemical composition of microcapsules were investigated. The results indicated that the optimal parameters of the microcapsule were microcrystalline wax/E-51 epoxy resin weight ratio of 1:1.2, stirring speed of 900 rpm, and preparation temperature of 105 °C. The effects of microcapsules on pore size distribution, pore structure, mechanical properties, permeability, and ultrasonic amplitude of mortar were determined, and the self-healing ability of mortar with different contents of microcapsules was evaluated. The optimal content of microcapsules in mortars was 4% of the cement weight, and the surface cracks of mortar containing microcapsules with an initial width of 0.28 mm were self-healed within three days, indicating that microcapsules have excellent self-healing ability for cementitious materials.

Response surface data for sensitivity study of industrial spray injected fluidized bed reactor.

Project description:An industrial fluidized bed reactor was designed to convert an aqueous solid laden stream into a consistent granular product. CFD simulations were run using the MFiX two-fluid model for a fluidizing bed operating at 650?°C. A set of simulations were run over a Latin-hypercube sample of five model parameters - bed particle size, bed particle density, coal particle size, spray feed flow rate, and fluidizing gas flow rate. Data from the simulations were collected on three quantities of interest - bed differential temperature, low solids velocity, and bed void fraction. The data presented here is the full set of response surfaces generated using the process Gaussian response surface model in the Dakota toolkit, as well as the table of data for coefficients of the fitted model. The fits to the five-dimensional Gaussian Process models were 0.7797, 0.8664, and 0.9440 for the temperature, velocity, and solids packing, respectively.

Preparation of NaF Microcapsules for High-Temperature Thermal Storage.

Project description:A novel NaF phase change microcapsule with a carbon shell (NaF@C microcapsule) was prepared by a simple approach. The carbon shell was synthesized by carbonization of a resole-type phenolic resin shell, which was encapsulated onto the surface of NaF particles by a simple phase separation process induced by tetraethoxysilane. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the morphology, composition, crystal phase, and thermal properties of the microcapsules. The size of the NaF@C microcapsule was 3-5 μm with a core-shell structure. DSC results showed that the melting point of the prepared NaF@C microcapsule was 988 °C, and the enthalpy value was 192 J/g. The prepared NaF@C microcapsules retained the powder morphology after 30 times of heat treatment at 1100 °C, with no NaF leakage detected, and the micromorphology remained stable, presenting good thermal stability. The NaF@C microcapsules can be used in the fields of thermal protection and thermal management in extreme high-temperature environments such as aerospace and solar energy.
