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.

المستخلص: 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.

المستخلص: 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.

المستخلص: 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.
