Abstract: تضمن البحث دراسة عملية ونظرية لاكسدة محلول الفينول بطريقتي (CWAO & PP - CWAO) باستخدام عمود الطبقة الوشله Trickle Bed Reactor لكل من التشغيل المستقروالتشغيل الدوري (Unsteady Periodic Operation) والمتضمن التقطيع الدوري لمعدل جريان السائل (Liquid Flow Mod | Catalyst Wet Air Oxidation (CWAO) and Hydrogen Peroxide Promoted Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation (PP - CWAO) of phenol in aqueous phase are studied experimentally and theoretically in this work using a trickle bed reactor operating in both steady state and periodic operation; liquid flow and hybrid modulation. A laboratory unit was constructed for this purpose, where a versatile reactor setup required "high pressure stainless steel reactor of 0.018 m i.d.×0.76 m height", in which experiments could be carried out under different modes of operation. The effect of key parameters that influence on the performance of trickle bed reactor (TBR) for CWAO and PP - CWAO is studied in a steady - state operation to provide a basis for comparison with periodic experiments and kinetic measurements in TBR under constant operating pressure (0.1 MPa) throughout Initial phenol concentration (0.84 - 1.5 g/L), liquid hourly space velocity (1.16 - 19.87 h - 1), superficial gas velocity (0.163 - 0.655 m/s), and bed temperature (30 - 80oC) for CWAO. Hydrogen peroxide concentration (5 - 40%) and feed rate (0.0499 - 0.1465 L/h) for PP - CWAO at constant liquid hourly space velocity (1.16 h - 1), initial phenol concentration (1.35 g/L), superficial gas velocity (0.163 m/s), and bed temperature (80oC).In periodic operation, the effect of cyclic parameters is investigated in a broader range of cycle period (5 - 180 sec) and split (0.2, 0.5 and 0.7) for both liquid flow and hybrid modulation under some of the conditions chosen on the basis of the steady state results for PP - CWAO.The results showed that the CWAO and PP - CWAO of phenol are kinetically controlled. In CWAO, LHSV and air flow rate have a slight effect on the phenol conversion, whilst they have a positive effect on the rate of reaction. The conversion and reaction rate of phenol increase with increasing initial phenol concentration and bed temperature, but they have a little pronounced effect in the range of temperature. The highest phenol conversion (75.26%) was obtained over Pt/? - Al2O3 at LHSV=1.16 h - 1, bed temperature=80°C, air flow rate=10 L/min and initial phenol concentration=1500 ppm.For PP - CWAO, the promoting effect of hydrogen peroxide was less marked in the range (5 to 25) %H2O2 concentration while at (35 - 40) %H2O2 concentration, the removal efficiency became more pronounced where the phenol conversion enhanced from 73.26% conversion at 25% H2O2 to 88.88% conversion at 40% H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide flow rate has a negligible effect on the removal of phenol. According to the kinetic results, the reaction kinetic was pseudo first order with respect to phenol concentration, (0.3) order with respect to oxygen, and the apparent activation energy equals to (19.8247) kJ/mol. The rate expression for CWO is - r_ph= C_ph^ For periodic operation, the time average conversion enhancement is indeed quite considerable in liquid flow modulation as split is lowered from steady state (? =1) to a value of (? =0.5) and reached as much as 6.66 % over the steady state at cycle period (?_p)= 15 sec; which is close to the hybrid modulation, where enhancement reached to 6.91% at ? =0.2 and (?_p)=5 sec.Intermediate compounds were analyzed for CWAO and PP - CWAO in steady state operation. Four intermediate compounds were indicated, namely oxalic acid, acetic acid, formic acid and maleic acid (carboxylic acid). Acetic acid being the main refractory intermediate in the catalytic oxidation of phenol at the operating conditions employed for CWAO process in steady state operation. The PP - CWAO of phenol in steady state and periodic operation has a positive impact on the intermediate compound mineralization as compared with the CWAO in steady state operation. In the modeling part, a suitable reactor scale model is evaluated and extended to predict the performance of TBR under the employed conditions. The model was solved numerically by finite difference approach with a semi implicit solution of the differential equations. The simulated results for steady - state and periodic operation (liquid flow modulation) performance showed that the expected trends in performance enhancements as experimental results. The experimental data results showed the relative error for the conversion (1.22 - 8.9%) in the broad range of experimental.

Abstract: كلا من الصناعة الكيميائية (chemical industry) والبحث الاكاديمي (academia search) للمذيبات البديلة يجب ان تلبي متطلبات التكنولوجيا النظيفة (cleaner technology) حيث ان المذيبات الاكثر استخداما على نطاق واسع هي المتطايرة والضارة. في العمل الحالي، تم تحقيق | Both chemical industry and academia search for alternative solvents to meet the cleaner technology requirements since the most widely used solvents are volatile and harmful. In the present work, the technical feasibilities of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as bulk liquid membranes (BLM) for phenol removal from Industrial Wastewater was investigated. Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) used as a membrane mainly due to their properties of low vapor pressure, low volatility and they are often stable. Four ionic liquids with high hydrophobicity were used : 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [Bmim] [PF6], 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [Bmim][NTf2], 1 - Ethyl - 3 - methyimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide [Emim][NTf2] and 1 - hexyl - 3 - methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [Hmim][PF6], in which, phenol Extraction efficiency and stripping efficiency were studied. The effect of different types of anion and hydrophobicity of the ionic liquids on the phenol extraction and stripping efficiencies were investigated. Different operating parameters of feed phase pH, feed concentration, NaOH concentration were studied. In addition to the effect of single ionic liquid (SILs) and binary mixtures ionic liquid (BMILs) on the phenol extraction and stripping efficiencies were also studied. The study shows that highest phenol extraction and stripping efficiencies were [Bmim][NTf2], [Bmim][NTf2+PF6] and [Emim][NTf2], [Bmim+Emim][NTf2] respectively. Phase equilibria for the extraction of phenol from industrial wastewater using ionic liquid membranes was determined. The efficiency of ten new solvents as a selective ILs solvent in the extraction of phenol from wastewater was investigated. Data have been estimated experimentally for ten systems containing, phenol + water as a common component liquid and + ten IL solvents. The consistency and accuracy of the tie line data were evaluated using three correlation namely, Bachman, Hand, and Othmer and Tobias. The Plait Point for each ternary system was estimated. Among the ILs used to extract the phenol from wastewater, [Bmim][NTf2+PF6] shows the highest selectivity and distribution coefficient. The liquid - liquid equilibrium data have been predicated using electrolyte non - random - two - liquid (e - NRTL) model and extended UNIversal - QUAsi - Chemical (e - UNIQUAC) model. The binary interaction parameters have been calculated using Maximum Likelihood Principle technique. The experimental data fitted by the e - NRTL model is more accurate than the e - UNIQUAC model.

Abstract: ان الهدف من هذا البحث هو تحضير دقائق السليكا النانوية من رمال السليكا العراقية من منجم ارضمة غرب العراق باستخدام طريقة الطحن المتعدد في (جهاز الطحن بالكرات)،حيث تم تشخيص دقائق السليكا بواسطة اجهزة التشخيص التالية SEM, AFM, PSA,FT - IR, XRD, XRF, BET,TEM. | The purposes of this work are to prepare, characterize silica nanoparticles for a first time from Ardma location at Anbar province in western Iraq by combination of top down approach using ultrafine grinding (Ball milling) and drying processes, evaluate the effect of nano - silica sand (NSS) addition on mechanical properties (compressive and splitting tensile strengths) of mortar mixture, and optimization of the operating variables (NS particle size and percentage of (NS) by using [WinQSB] and [STATISTICA] software technique to find the optimum values. (XRF) test shows enrichment of SiO2 after leaching with sulfuric acid. The prepared (NS) is characterized by SEM, AFM, PSA, FT - IR, XRD, XRF, BET and TEM. According to Particle Size Analyzers (PSA) silica sand has successfully been reduced to particle size of 50 nm after (30) hours of milling. The (AFM) test reveal two different groups of samples were analyzed, the range of first group was (60 - 120) nm after 40 hours of milling, the range of second group was (90 - 170)nm after 50 hours of milling. X - ray diffraction of silica sand before and after milling process shows that surface , structural changes duo to amorphization phenomenon result from an intensive mechanical treatment by (Ball milling) of silica sand. This result supports the incorporating (NS) into cement mortar. The (BET) analysis shows that the (NS) has different surface areas according to particle size. The (TEM) and (SEM) images of NS show that various shapes of the(NS) particles including irregular, spherical, and highly agglomerated in shape due to Van der Walls force on the particles surface. Three different ranges of particle sizes of (NS) have been used; (30 - 100)nm,(60 - 120)nm and(90 - 170)nm with three percentages of each (2% ,6% and 10% per weight of cement) and a w/c of 0.48. The SEM images of mortar mixture at the age of 28 days show existence of many Ca(OH)2 crystals needles over - shadowed and cover a large area with porous structure, while after adding (NSS) the Ca(OH)2needles are invisible and compact structure with the absence of the un - hydrated crystals which explains the superior strengths results. NSS contributes to enhancement of cement mortar through yielding denser, more compact and uniform mixtures. The optimization results of mechanical properties proved that an improvement in compressive strength of 29.889% at optimum conditions (adding 6% of 50nm particle size) in 28 days age, while for tensile strength was 22.863% at optimum conditions (adding 8% of 50nm particle size) in 28 days age. NSS obtained by ball milling of silica sand can be produced in large quantities at low prices, by sustainable method so that mass application in concrete is within reach According to my knowledge there is no previous work focusing on preparing of silica nanoparticles from Iraqi silica sand, and using it to improve mechanical properties of cement mortar by using optimization technique.

The effect of liquid head, type of solvent, polymer characteristics and concentration, pipe diameter and roughness and addition of surfactant were investigated.Experimental tests were performed using apparatus consisting of a reservoir connected to a horizontal tube from which the flux was allowed to fall freely under different heads. The distance traveled horizontally was measured and used to estimate the friction factor (ƒ) and the percentage drag reduction (%DR). The tests were carried out under liquid heads of 140, 165, 190, 215, 240 cm to ensure turbulent flow circumstances, i.e. Re ? 3000.Three types of polymers were tested, viz., polyisobutylene (PIB), xanthan gum (XG) and guar gum (GGM). The activities of these polymers for drag reduction were evaluated at concentrations of 10 - 200 ppm for PIB and 50 - 400 ppm for XG and GGM using three solvents, viz., kerosene, gas oil and tap water. Glass tubes of 3,7,10 and 11mm diameters in addition to carbon steel and stainless steel pipes of 10mm diameter were used to investigate the effect of pipe diameter and roughness.The interactions between polymer and surfactant were investigated using sodium luaryl sulfate (SLS) so that experimental tests were performed with PIB in the absence and presence of (SLS) at different concentrations. The discharge distance and %DR is generally increased with increasing liquid head and additive concentration. However %DR is sometimes reached to a maximum value at a specific concentration termed " critical concentration" beyond which %DR is fallen, the %DR observed with 100ppm of PIB is 44.3% at head equal 140 cm and 56% at head equal 240 cm from stainless steel tube. Moreover, %DR is progressively increased with increasing Reynolds number (Re) at any specific concentration, %DR achieved due to the addition 50ppm of PIB is 20.8% at Re equal 17236 and 45.9% at Re equal 26056 from stainless steel tube.Polyisobutylene has effectively reduced drag with kerosene and gas oil. Its activity seems to be higher with gas oil compared to that with kerosene. The maximum %DR achieved due to the addition 100 ppm of PIB in gas oil and kerosene are 63% & 56% respectively from Stainless steel tube. The activity of SLS for drag reduction with kerosene is evidently lower than that of PIB, and the difference between %DR observed is reduced with increasing concentration. Efficiency of PIB is considerably decreased by adding SLS so that the maximum %DR achieved with their mixture is 40.1%.The polymers XG and GGM are effectively reduced drag when added to tap water. Their activities at any specific operating conditions are decreased according to the sequence of XG ? GGM. The maximum %DR observed with them at 300 ppm are 77% and 48.8% respectively. The values of (%DR) measured with all tested liquids seem consistent with Blasius equation and they are progressively shifted to the direction of Virk asymptote with increasing of polymer concentration. The percent drag reduction is well correlated with Reynolds numbers, (L/D) and polymer concentration according to the relation of the form %DR= a (Re)b (C)d (L/D)k, where a, b, d and k are constants, so that a specific empirical correlation is observed for each polymer.

Abstract: تم تحضير ماده السليكا النانويه المسامية (SBA - 15) باستخدام (TEOS) كمصدر للسيليكا و(P123) كقوالب ومن ثم اجريت فحوصات عليها منها حيود الاشعة السينية (XRD),المجهر الالكتروني (SEM)،المساحة السطحيه ( (BET وطيف الاشعة تحت الحمراء (FTIR). بعد ذلك تم دراسة سلو | Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA - 15) nanoporous silica was prepared using Tetraethylorthosilicate TEOS as silica precursor, Pluronic P123 as template, and characterized by means of X - ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET surface area and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The adsorption behavior of methylene blue from synthetic wastewater onto mesoporous SBA - 15 was studied. Both batch and continuous systems were studied. Batch experiments were carried out to measure the adsorption as a function of contact time, initial concentration (15 - 110 mg/l), pH (3 - 11) and adsorbent dose (0.1 - 2.3g/l) to specify the optimum operation condition. The equilibrium of the process was achieved within 20 min. Adsorption isotherms were fitted with the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models. The equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir isotherm model with higher correlation coefficient R2 value of (0.990). The kinetics of the MB sorption on SBA - 15 were examined by using pseudo - first and pseudo - second order kinetics models. The kinetics analysis manifested that the overall adsorption process was successfully fitted with the pseudo - second - order kinetic model. In continuous studies, the adsorption of methylene blue from synthetic wastewater onto SBA - 15 in fixed bed was investigated and breakthrough data of the dye was determined. This research is run in small scale column with an internal diameter of 0.7 cm and 35 cm height at constant temperature and pH value. The effect of bed height (3, 6, 9 cm), flow rate (0.6, 1.0,1.4 ml/min) and initial MB concentrations (40, 70, 100 mg/l) on breakthrough curves were investigated. It is found that breakthrough time increases with increasing bed height, but decreases with increasing methylene blue inlet concentration and flow rate. Thomas and Yan models were used to determine the kinetic constants and to predict the breakthrough curves. The experimental data showed a better fit to Thomas adsorption model. In order to find out the possibility of reuse SBA - 15, desorption study was also carried out in this investigation. SBA - 15 can be effectively recovered by calcinations and reused fourteenth times in batch system and five times in continuous system without significant loss in removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution. The long reuse life of SBA - 15 makes it an efficient adsorbent for removal of methylene blue from wastewater at high potential for application in industry.

Abstract: يعد معمل الاثيلين واحد من اهم معامل البتروكيماويات والاكبر حجما في العالم في الوقت الحاضر. بالاضافة الى ذلك، فانه يعتبر جوهر اي مجمع للبتروكيماويات. وفي مثل هذه المعامل، يخضع الغاز الطبيعي الى العديد من العمليات لفصل مكوناته.الهدف من هذه الدر | Ethylene plant is one of the most important and largest volume petrochemicals in the world today. In addition, it is a core of any petrochemical complex. In such plant, the natural gas is subjected to many processes to separate the components. The objective of this study is to develop a detailed model to simulate an ethylene plant, which includes a pyrolysis section, a separation system and an integrated refrigeration system. An optimization has been performed for a part of the plant; this part is the furnace.The ethylene plant at the Petrochemical Complex in PC1 - Basrah has been considered as a case of study. The kinetics of ethane thermal cracking in pyrolysis furnace has been simulated using Aspen Plus and MATLAB. The radiant coils in furnace have been modeled as a one dimensional plug - flow reactor in which ethane is subjected to steam cracking. The overall plant has been simulated using Aspen Plus version (7.3), and the reactor has been simulated using MATLAB environment, version (2013a) in addition to Aspen Plus. The validity simulation model test has been achieved by comparing the simulation results with the actual data collected from PC1and it showed a great similarity and reliability for both simulation models.A steady state simulation model has been developed to study the behavior of multi - types feed supplied to the plant. Furthermore, the model has been used to evaluate the effects of various process parameters, including temperature of reaction (Reactor outlet temperature), dilution steam to ethane ratio (DS/HC) and the outlet flow rate of hydrocarbons.The other aim of this study is to obtain the optimum operating conditions using Aspen Plus for the reactor in the furnace which has an effect on the final product to determine the maximum profit. Optimization using Genetic Algorithm (GA) by MATLAB has been used as well as Aspen Plus, and a comparison has been made between both methods. The selection of the optimum operating conditions of reactor was obtained to achieve the following objectives together : • Increasing the production rate of ethylene.• Increasing the outlet flow rate of hydrocarbons.These objectives have managed to be achieved all together by maximizing the total profit obtained from the furnace. Finally, Aspen Plus results show that the objectives have been satisfied by manipulating the decision variables Temperature of reaction (Reactor outlet temperature) in the range of (850 - 920) ?C, dilution steam to ethane ratio DS/HC in the range of (0.2 - 0.5) and the outlet flow rate of hydrocarbons ) in the range of (2421 - 1064) Kmole/hr to increase the profit of the furnace to approximately (10.541%) and (5.55%) for the whole plant.

Abstract: يتم انتاج كميات كبيره من الماء المصاحب النفطي من قبل شركة نفط الجنوب.يعتبر محتوى النفطي oil - water والاملاح الذائبه TDS من اخطر الملوثات والتي تتم معالجتها باحدث التكنلوجيا في السنوات الاخيره تم استخدام تقنية الاغشية لمعالجة الماء المصاحب النفطي.الهدف م | A large amount of oil field produced water is generated by South Oil Company. Oil - in - Water and TDS are the most serious pollutants for which current treatment technologies are often costly and ineffective in order to reuse water. In recent years, membrane process has been applied for produced water treatment.The aim of the present work is to treat produced water from oil well before being disposed in environment or reused as re - injection to oil well or agriculture water. Oil field produced water is very difficult wastewater to treat and its characteristics change as well to well. The sample test of this study was taken from dehydrator in the DSI/North Rumila/Southern Oil Company in Basrah /Iraq. The treatment process of produced water consists of two stages. The first stage as pre - treatment is achieved by continuous dissolved air flotation (DAF) to reduce the oil content. The second stages, as advanced treatment processes, are accomplished by microfiltration (MF) to reduce the turbidity and nanofiltration (NF) to reduce the salt content as TDS of produced water. The experimental work was carried out using dissolved flotation column is of Perspex glass (0.1 m I.D, 1.5 m height). The bottom of the column connected to a conical joint of QVF glass with a Teflon distributer. The effect of operating parameters (flow rate of produced water, pH, initial oil concentration, flotation time, alum dosage and surfactant of SLS) saturated pressure=5 Atm on the oil content or oil removal efficiency was investigated. The results showed that the oil removal efficiency increases with increasing the flow rate of produced water, the flotation time and coagulants dosage. The oil removal efficiency in DAF unit without coagulants is equal to (80, 94, 95%) for initial oil concentration (30, 50, 70 ppm), respectively at a flow rate 0.03 m3/h and pH=6. While flotation with coagulation, the results indicated that the removal efficiency is equal to 94% (residual oil content <10 ppm) at pH=5, alum dosage=560 ppm, and initial oil concentration=50 ppm, and the removal efficiency is equal to 89.6 at pH=6, alum+SLS dosage=80 ppm, and initial oil concentration=50 ppm. The kinetics of flotation column was studied and it was found that the order of the reaction is changing between zero to first order.The treatment of produced water by membrane technique was carried out by cross flow mode in hallow fiber microfiltration (MF) and nanofiltration (NF). The effect of operating parameter such as transmembrane pressure (TMP) (1, 1.5, 2 bars) with cross flow 20 mL/min, at room temperature, on the flux, rejection, and turbidity and TDS removal was studied. The experimental results by MF manifested that the permeation flux is (108, 156, 611 l/m2.h) and transemembrane pressure is 2 bar at initial turbidity (100, 200, 300 NTU), respectively. But NF, as a final treatment of produced water to reuse, was studied at different feed concentrations (82950, 75050, 67150 ppm) with different TMPS. According to the experimental results, the higher permeation of flux =15 (l/m2.h) at 82950 ppm and 2 bar, was obtained.The experimental results of the removal efficiency were represented in two and three dimensional graphs. An empirical correlation for R% as a function of different parameters (flow rate, pH, and oil concentration) was developed by aided computer using the following formula %R= a + c1*x1n1 + c2*x2n2 + c3*x3n3.

Abstract: تم دراسة سلوك تاكل معادن النحاس والكربون الصلب والزنك في تراكيز مختلفة من حامض الهيدروكلوريكHCl) ) (0.025، 0.05 و0.075 مولاري ) عند درجات حرارة مختلفة (30، 40 و50 درجة مئوية) باستخدام القياسات الكهروكيميائية (Electrochemical Measurements) في حالة المعا | The corrosion behaviors of metals Copper, Carbon Steel and Zinc in a different concentrations of HCl acid (0.025, 0.05 and 0.075M) at different temperatures (30, 40 and 50°C) were investigated using electrochemical measurements in couple and single state.The galvanic behaviors of coupled metals (Cu - Fe),( Cu - Zn) and (Fe - Zn)were studied using Zero Resistance Ammeter (ZRA) technique, it has been used to measure the galvanic current (Ig) and galvanic potential (Eg) with time. The galvanic corrosion cells for all couples have equal areas of anode and cathode (2×2cm).The galvanic current density (ig) is increased with increasing solution concentration and temperature. The galvanic potential (Eg) is shifted to less negative with increasing solution concentration and temperature and it is close to the corrosion potential of the anode in the couple conditions.The potentiostatic polarization behavior of single three metals (Copper, Carbon Steel and Zinc) in different concentrations of dilute HCl acid (0.025, 0.05 and 0.075M) at temperature (40°C) is found under activation control. The corrosion current density is increases with increasing solution concentration and gives the following arrangement of metals : Cu> Fe > Zn A numerical analysis of galvanic corrosion was presented. The analysis was based on three numerical methods as the boundary element method (BEM), the finite element method (FEM) and the finite difference method (FDM).The potential and current density distributions on the galvanic elements are described by the Laplace equation. The Laplace equation was solved numerically, to determine the potential, current density, and corrosion caused by the galvanic cell using designed computer programs in MATLAB R2014a. The experimentally determined polarization curves have been used in order to define the nonlinear boundary conditions. This boundary value problem has been solved using Newton - Raphson iterative numerical procedure. For the three couple systems (Cu - Fe, Fe - Zn and Cu - Zn), the results obtained for galvanic potential and current density, using the numerical methods (BEM, FEM and FDM) with the overall deviations are 6.689, 10.818 and 18.846 respectively for galvanic current density and 0.631, 1.210 and 1.787 respectively for galvanic potential. From these results it can conclude that the galvanic current density and galvanic potential distribution calculated from the BEM model was in good agreement with the experimental measurements. These are because the main advantages of the BEM over the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the finite difference method (FDM) are high accuracy, discretization on the boundary only which results in a very small number of unknowns, easy dealing with non - regular boundaries and openings that only the domain boundary of interest is required to be discrete, also BEM needs fewer equations and a smaller matrix size than FEM and can solve both finite and infinite domain problems.
