Application of i-SDT for safer flare management operation
(2019)Utilizing unburn flare streams in a safe way represents one of the key challenges during flare alternatives implementation. Most of the time, process safety is considered on a supplemental basis after accomplishing a ... -
Aqueous phase reforming (APR) of glycerol over platinum supported on Al2O3 catalyst
(2016)The glycerol's APR reaction over 5% Pt/Al2O3 catalyst for H2 production in a batch reactor is investigated in the present work. The effect of the operating parameters, such as the: i) reaction time, ii) operating temperature, ... -
Citric acid-based deep eutectic solvent for the anthocyanin recovery from Hibiscus sabdariffa through microwave-assisted extraction
(2022)In the current study, Hibiscus sabdariffa has been extracted by microwave-assisted extraction (MAEX). Citric acid-based deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been specially designed, where a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) (glycerol ... -
Comparison of safety indexes for chemical processes under uncertainty
(2021)The fatal consequences of industrial incidents have made evident the need for suitable tools to develop inherently safer process design options. Traditionally, in a process design project, the evaluation of safety aspects ... -
A Computational Strategy for the Design of Photochromic Derivatives Based on Diarylethene and Nickel Dithiolene with Large Contrast in Nonlinear Optical Properties
(2020)We designed a series of photochromic derivatives by employing density functional method (CAM-B3LYP/6-31G*). These compounds are based on DAE (diarylethenes), both sides of which are bonded with benzene and NiBDT ... -
