Determination of agglomeration kinetics in nanoparticle dispersions / Herbert Loria in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 50 N° 14 (Juillet 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 50 N° 14 (Juillet 2011) . - pp. 8529-8535 Titre : Determination of agglomeration kinetics in nanoparticle dispersions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Herbert Loria, Auteur ; Pedro Pereira-Almao, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 8529-8535 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dispersion  Nanoparticle  Kinetics  Agglomeration Résumé : The direct application of nanoparticles as nonsupported adsorbents and catalysts is of high interest since they offer high surface areas with reduced mass transfer limitations. However, the natural tendency of these materials to aggregate, even faster when at high temperatures, makes the agglomeration process an important phenomenon to be studied, understood and, eventually controlled. A method to obtain the kinetics of nanoparticle agglomeration processes is presented in this paper. This analysis was based on the change of particle diameter during aggregation. The kinetic expression was validated with a series of experiments where the growth of Fe2O3 nanoparticles immersed in base oil was followed at different times, temperatures, and particle concentrations. Results revealed the nature of the particle agglomeration process in the ranges of the experimental conditions; they indicated that physical adhesion, more than chemical binding, is the determining mechanism for agglomeration of Fe2O3 nanoparticles immersed in base oil.

Kinetic models for upgrading athabasca bitumen using unsupported NiWMo catalysts at low severity conditions / Carmen E. Galarraga in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 51 N° 1 (Janvier 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 51 N° 1 (Janvier 2012) . - pp. 140–146 Titre : Kinetic models for upgrading athabasca bitumen using unsupported NiWMo catalysts at low severity conditions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Carmen E. Galarraga, Auteur ; Carlos Scott, Auteur ; Herbert Loria, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 140–146 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Kinetic  Catalysts Résumé : Typically, the catalytic upgrading of heavy fractions (VGO and VR) has been studied using mostly conventional supported catalysts at temperatures and pressures higher than 400 °C and 6 MPa, respectively. This work focuses on the upgrading of heavy oils at much lower severity conditions using dispersed NiWMo catalysts for processing whole oil with no fractionation. A kinetic study was developed to determine parameters from experimental data obtained at temperatures of 320–380 °C and reaction times from 3 to 70 h at a total hydrogen pressure of 3.45 MPa and a stirring speed of 500 rpm in a batch reactor. The conversion, estimated as the reduction of the residue 545 °C+ fraction, was fitted for a first-order reaction with an apparent activation energy of 200 kJ mol–1. Two kinetic models are proposed to predict the conversion of the residue fraction and its product distribution. Comparison between experimental data and predictions using the proposed models exhibited good agreement with average absolute errors lower than 5%.

A model to predict the concentration of dispersed solid particles in an aqueous medium confined inside horizontal cylindrical channels / Herbert Loria in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N° 8 (Avril 2009)

However, an adequate mathematical expression that studies the separation and suspension of dispersed particles present in horizontal cylindrical channels is still missing. In this paper, we developed and solved a time-dependent, two-dimensional convective-dispersive model that simulates the deposition and suspension of dispersed particles immersed in a fluid medium inside the cross section of a horizontal cylindrical channel in a stagnant situation. The results of the modeling are compared with a series of experiments that permit one to know the concentration of the particles in different points in the cross section of a horizontal cylinder. These experiments were performed using particles in the micrometer range dispersed in an aqueous medium. The conditions that permit to control the suspension and deposition of the particles inside a liquid medium with cylindrical geometry are unveiled by the presented model.

A model to predict the concentration of submicrometer solid particles in viscous media confined inside horizontal cylindrical channels / Herbert Loria in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N° 8 (Avril 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 48 N° 8 (Avril 2009) . - pp. 4094–4100 Titre : A model to predict the concentration of submicrometer solid particles in viscous media confined inside horizontal cylindrical channels Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Herbert Loria, Auteur ; Pedro Pereira-Almao, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 4094–4100 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ultradispersed  particles  Cylindrical  channel  Viscosity  Dispersion  coefficient Résumé : As light oil reserves dwindle, the extraction and processing of heavy crude oils are becoming increasingly important. The use of ultradispersed catalysts (nanometric catalytic particles dispersed in the oil) is considered to be a promising way to upgrade these materials. To simulate such processes, mass transfer of the ultradispersed particles must be estimated. However, an adequate mathematical expression to describe the motion of these particles through viscous media in a horizontal cylindrical channel is still missing. In this paper, we developed and solved a time-dependent, two-dimensional convective−dispersive model, which simulates the transient deposition and suspension of ultradispersed particles immersed in a viscous medium, inside the cross section of a horizontal cylindrical channel in a stagnant situation. The results of the modeling are compared with a series of experiments that permit knowledge of the concentration of the ultradispersed particles inside a horizontal cylinder. These experiments were performed using particles in the submicrometer range (average sizes of 198 nm) and fluid media with diverse densities and viscosities. The effect of the fluid medium properties and the initial particle concentration in the calculation of the dispersion coefficient was also studied. The conditions needed to maintain the solid particles suspended in the liquid medium, contained in a vessel with cylindrical geometry, are also unveiled by the presented model.

Model to predict the concentration of ultradispersed particles immersed in viscous media flowing through horizontal cylindrical channels / Herbert Loria in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 49 N° 4 (Fevrier 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 49 N° 4 (Fevrier 2010) . - pp 1920–1930 Titre : Model to predict the concentration of ultradispersed particles immersed in viscous media flowing through horizontal cylindrical channels Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Herbert Loria, Auteur ; Pedro Pereira-Almao, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp 1920–1930 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ultradispersed  particles  Viscous  Horizontal  cylindrical  channels. Résumé : An innovative way to upgrade heavy crude oils is the use of ultradispersed catalysts; however, an adequate mathematical expression that describes the mass transfer on this process is still missing. This paper studies the separation and suspension of ultradispersed particles based on their motion through diverse viscous media enclosed in horizontal cylindrical channels. A time-dependent, three-dimensional convective−dispersive model which simulates the transient deposition and suspension of these particles immersed in viscous media inside a horizontal cylinder was developed and solved. This model was also experimentally validated, and its results unveiled the particle and fluid media properties that are necessary to control particle deposition. The experiments were performed using Fe2O3 particles (average sizes of 198 nm) immersed in water−glycerol mixtures with different densities and viscosities subject to different fluid velocities. The effect of the fluid medium properties, the initial particle concentration, and fluid velocity on the dispersion coefficient was also studied.
