Industrial eggshell waste (ES) is classified as an animal by-product not intended to human consumption. For reducing pathogen spreading risk due to soil incorporation of ES, sanitation by composting is a pre-treatment option. This work aims to evaluate eggshell waste recycling in self-heating composting reactors and investigate ES effect on process evolution and end product quality. Potato peel, grass clippings...
The start-up and the wrong-way behavior of a fixed-bed reactor were analyzed through one-dimensional heterogeneous and pseudo-homogeneous models. The simulation work was based on the methanol oxidation to formaldehyde, which takes place in a fixed-bed reactor with two distinct zones. In the first part of the reactor, the catalyst was diluted with inert, and in the second zone the catalyst is pure. This activity...
In this work, comparisons between the behaviour predicted by different types of mathematical models are presented. The system studied was the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde, which occurs in a fixed bed reactor with two distinct zones: at the entrance the catalyst is diluted with inert, followed by a region with pure catalyst. This type of distribution of the catalyst activity leads to different t...
The generalized parametric sensitivity criterion was used to obtain runaway diagrams for one- and two-dimensional heterogeneous models and a one-dimensional pseudo-homogeneous model. The simulation work was based on the partial methanol oxidation to formaldehyde, which occurs in a fixed-bed reactor, with two distinct catalytic zones. At the inlet of the reactor, the catalyst was diluted with inert packing follo...
