Valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités par voies thermochimiques (pyrolyse et hydroliquéfaction) : Application aux bois traités aux sels de CCB (cuivre-chrome-bore) / Energy recovery of CCB-treated wood using thermo chemical processes (pyrolysis and hydroliquefaction) : Application to CCB-treated wood

Senga kiesse, Silao Esperance 02 April 2013 (has links)
Les déchets de bois traités représentent 27% du gisement des déchets dangereux en France. Ces déchets sont incinérés dans des installations classées pour la protection de l’environnement (ICPE). Néanmoins, leur incinération nécessite des équipements robustes et coûteux pour le lavage des gaz et des fumées toxiques. Dans ce contexte, le présent travail a pour objectif d’élaborer et de mette en oeuvre d’autres voies de valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités par des procédés thermochimiques. Pour cela, les procédés de pyrolyse et d’hydroliquéfaction ont été mis en oeuvre principalement pour la valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités aux sels de CCB (cuivre-chrome-bore) qui représentent 8750 tonnes/an en France. Le bois imprégné de sels de CCB dans nos laboratoires conformément au traitement industriel, a été étudié afin de maîtriser le bilan des métaux dans les différents produits de pyrolyse et d’hydroliquéfaction. Une étude préliminaire de son comportement thermique a été menée par analyse thermogravimétrique dans le but de déterminer l’intervalle de température effectif à sa dégradation massique. Dans cet intervalle de température, les paramètres expérimentaux de pyrolyse lente ont été optimisés pour piéger les métaux dans le charbon. Par la suite, une étude paramétrique par la méthode des plans d’expérience a été réalisée pour la conversion du charbon en bio-huile. De plus, l’optimisation de l’hydroliquéfaction pour la conversion du bois traité en bio-huile a été effectuée. Les résultats montrent que les métaux initialement présents dans le bois traité sont répartis entre la bio-huile et le coke quelque soit la voie de valorisation énergétique empruntée (hydroliquéfaction/pyrolyse+hydroliquéfaction). Cependant la bio-huile présente des caractéristiques proches de celles des biodiesels. L’utilisation de catalyseur au cours de l’hydroliquéfaction du charbon de pyrolyse améliore non seulement la qualité de la bio-huile mais aussi le bilan d’énergie sur le procédé. / The amount of treated-wood waste was estimated to 27% of the deposit of hazardous waste in France. These wastes are incinerated in specials incineration plants “installations classées pour la protection de l’environnement”. However, incineration produces harmful residues and contaminated gases released into the atmosphere inevitably. In this context, this work aims to develop and implement other ways of energy recovery from treated-wood waste using thermo-chemical processes. For this, the pyrolysis and hydroliquefaction processes were performed for energy recovery from CCB treated wood waste (copper-chromium-boron) representing 8750 t / year in France. Natural wood were impregnated with salts of CCB in our laboratories according to industrial processing to control the balance of metals in pyrolysis and hydroliquefaction products. A preliminary study was carried out by thermogravimetric analysis in order to determine the temperature range for effective mass degradation of CCB treatedwood. In this temperature range, the experimental parameters of slow pyrolysis have been optimized to concentrate metals in charcoal. Subsequently, a parametric study was conducted by the method of experimental design for the conversion of coal into bio-oil. In addition, the optimization of the conversion hydroliquefaction treated wood into bio-oil was performed. The results show that the metals initially present in the treated wood are divided between the bio-oil and coke whatever the processes energy recovery used (hydroliquefaction / pyrolysis + hydroliquefaction). However, the immediate characteristics of bio-oil and biodiesel are quite similar. The use of catalyst during charcoal conversion improves the quality of the bio-oil but also the energy balance of the process.

PREDICTION OF HUMAN SYSTEMIC, BIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES BASED ON PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS

Al, Tafif Abdullah 30 July 2012 (has links)
This research explored quantitative relationships (QSPKR) between different molecular descriptors and pertinent, systemic PK properties for 14 calcium channel blockers (CCB). Physicochemical properties (PC) such as molecular weight (MW), molar volume (MV), calculated logP (clogP), pKa, calculated logD7.4 (clogD), % ionized at pH 6.3 and pH 7.4, hydrogen bond donors (HBD), hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA), and number of rotatable bonds (nRot) were chosen as possible predictor variables for systemic PK properties for CCB, obtained from pertinent literature, assessing the PK of CCB after intravenous administration to healthy humans. All PC properties and molecular descriptors were computed using ACD-solubility/DB 12.01. Total body clearance (CLtot), steady-state volume of distribution (Vdss), total area under the plasma concentration-time profile (AUCoo), terminal half-life (t1/2), and fraction of drug excreted unchanged in urine (fe), if available, were obtained or derived from original references, exclusively from IV studies that administered CCB to healthy human volunteers. Several articles focused on drug interactions with grapefruit juice or the impact of renal/hepatic dysfunction, and in such cases, data from the healthy control group were used. Each study was evaluated for study design, PK sampling schedule, bioanalytical and PK analysis methods before inclusion into the final database. The assumption of linear systemic PK was verified by assessing AUCoo versus (IV) dose. Plasma protein binding information was collected from in-vitro experiments to obtain the fraction unbound in plasma (fu). Unbound volume of distribution at a steady state (Vdssu), unbound total (CLtotu), renal (CLrenu), and non-renal clearance (CLnonrenu) were estimated and compared with the relevant physiological references for Vdssu (plasma volume, blood volume, extracellular and intracellular spaces, total body water and body weight) and for the unbound clearances (liver blood flow, renal plasma flow, and glomerular filtration rate, GFR). Final PK property values were obtained by averaging across available studies. The distribution of both PC and PK properties were evaluated, and correlation matrices amongst PC properties were constructed to assess for collinearity. If two PC descriptors were found to be collinear, i.e. r, ≥ 0.8, only one of them was used in the final univariate analysis. Finally, univariate linear regression of all PK variables versus each molecular descriptor was performed; any relationship with p<0.05 and r2≥0.30 was considered to be statistically significant. The PC properties of the final 14 CCB were reasonably normally distributed with few exceptions. Overall, CCBs are small (MW range of 316-496 Da), basic and lipophilic (logD7.4 range of 1.5-5.1) molecules. On the other hand, for the PK properties, the distributions were found to be skewed with high standard deviations. Thus, all PK variables (except fu) were log-transformed. Although CCB are mostly highly plasma protein bound (fu range of 0.2-20%), they are characterized by extensive extravascular tissue distribution (Vdss range of 0.6-20.4 l/kg) and high, mainly metabolic, clearance (CLtot range of 3.7-131.7 ml/min/kg). Clevidipine is the only CCB undergoing extensive, extra-hepatic ester hydrolysis, responsible for the highest CLtot value. Urinary excretion for CCB is negligible. Amlodipine is a PK outlier due to its high Vdss (20.4 l/kg) and low CLtot (6.9 ml/min/kg, due to low hepatic extraction) with fu of 2%. Therefore, the final QSPKR analysis was performed including, as well as excluding amlodipine. Excluding amlodipine, the relationship between fu and logD7.4 was negative and significant (r2 of 0.4, n=12). The relationships between CLtotu, CLnonrenu and CLrenu and logD7.4 were found to be positive and significant (r2 between 0.6-0.7, n=3-12); none of the other PC variables affected any of the clearance terms. Although the relationship between Vdssu and logD7.4 was not significant (r2 of 0.25, n=12), it showed the expected positive slope. In fact, after removing bepridil (the remaining outlier in Vdssu), the relationship with logD7.4 became statistically significant (r2=0.46, n=11). The QSPKR obtained in this study for CCB, with logD7.4 being the main PC determinant for systemic PK properties, were similar to those previously reported for opioids, β-adrenergic receptor ligands and benzodiazepines. However, slope estimates for the relationships of CLnonrenu and CLtotu as a function of logD7.4 for CCB were higher compared to these previously studied compounds, which showed higher sensitivity, most likely as a result of their higher lipophilicity. Overall, lipophilicity measured as logD7.4 was found to be a statistically significant and plausible PC determinant for the biologically relevant systemic PK properties for CCB and other classes of drugs.

Lin, Yu-Kung 20 July 2012 (has links)
The study use preparing the 2011¡¦s pro forma financial statements of China Construction Bank (CCB) at first, and use market stock price as given result, conjecture the Non-Performance Loan ratio of the market investors. And then, using implied Non-Performance Loan ratio, adjust the original financial statements, prepare the 2012¡¦s pro forma financial statements of CCB. In the end, using Copeland, Koller, and Murrin¡]2000¡^¡¦s equity DCF method and Preinreivh¡BEdwards and Bell¡BOhlson¡¦s EBO method to estimate the intrinsic value of the common stock for the China Construction Bank. Based on my analysis, it is suggested that, after preparing the pro forma financial statements by carefully considering economic environment¡Blaws and regulations¡Bindustrial structure and lending proportion¡Bmarket position, and future strategies of the specific bank, use two valuation model by considering implied Non-Performance Loan ratio. The intrinsic value of the common stock is higher than its market price, that is, the market price of the China Construction Bank is undervalued. Therefore, I hope the result of this business evaluation research, will help the investors making more rational decisions.

Influência da impregnação contra demanda biológica em propriedades físico-mecânicas de madeiras tropicais brasileiras / Influence of impregnation against biological demand on physical-mechanical properties of Brazilian tropical woods

Almeida, Andréa de Souza 14 February 2019 (has links)
A preservação química visa proteger a madeira contra quaisquer ações deterioradoras, sejam elas consequências de fenômenos físico-químicos, como a ação do intemperismo, ou de fenômenos biológicos, como os organismos xilófagos. No Brasil, os preservativos mais utilizados nas usinas de preservação são o Arseniato de Cobre Cromatado (CCA) e o Borato de Cobre Cromatado (CCB). Ambos são aplicados na madeira através do processo de vácuo-pressão, método que em tese poderia aumentar a quantidade de defeitos superficiais e diminuir os valores das propriedades físico-mecânicas das madeiras. Atualmente, em decorrência da disponibilização no mercado (devida à implantação de áreas certificadas no Brasil) de espécies de madeira de média a baixa densidade, a questão da necessidade da preservação contra a demanda biológica se constitui em aspecto de fundamental importância para que se garantam as alternativas de oferta desse material para a construção de estruturas, cuja durabilidade seja equivalente à da madeira de espécies de uso consagrado, como Jatobá, Sucupira, Garapa e Itaúba, por exemplo. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a influência dos tratamentos com os preservativos CCA e CCB nas propriedades físico-mecânicas das seguintes espécies de madeiras tropicais brasileiras: Simarouba amara (C20), Cedrelinga catenaeformis (C30) e Erisma uncinatum Warm (C40), escolhidas na tentativa de abranger as três classes de resistência mais baixas, de acordo com o que prescreve a ABNT NBR 7190:1997. Foi realizada a caracterização completa de cada espécie nos três tipos de tratamento (Sem tratamento &#8211; Ref; CCA; CCB) para posterior aplicação do teste de comparações múltiplas de Tukey, avaliado ao nível de 5% de significância. Para avaliar o comportamento dos preservativos a nível celular, foram geradas fotomicrografias por Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) e seus respectivos espectros de EDS. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que ambos os tratamentos químicos não afetaram significativamente os valores das propriedades físico-mecânicas das espécies estudadas. / The chemical preservation aims to protect the wood against any deteriorating actions, be they consequences of physical-chemical phenomena, such as weathering, or biological phenomena, such as xylophagous organisms. In Brazil, the most used preservatives in the preservation plants are Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) and Chromated Copper Borate (CCB). Both are applied to the wood through the vacuum-pressure process, which in theory could increase the amount of surface defects and decrease the values of the physical-mechanical properties of the wood. Currently, due to the availability in the market (due to the implantation of certified areas in Brazil) of medium to low density wood species, the question of the need for preservation against biological demand is an aspect of fundamental importance to ensure the alternatives of supply of this material for the construction of structures, whose durability is equivalent to the wood of species of consecrated use, such as Jatobá, Sucupira, Garapa and Itaúba, for example In this context, the present work had as objective to investigate the influence of the treatments with the preservatives CCA and CCB on physical-mechanical properties of the following species of Brazilian tropical woods: Simarouba amara (C20), Cedrelinga catenaeformis (C30) e Erisma uncinatum Warm (C40), chosen in an attempt to cover the three lower resistance classes, according to what ABNT NBR 7190:1997 prescribes. The complete characterization of each species in the three types of treatments (No treatment - Ref: CCA; CCB) was performed for the subsequent application of the Tukey\'s multiple comparison test, evaluated at the 5% level of significance. To evaluate the behavior of the preservatives at the cellular level, photomicrographs were generated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and their respective EDS spectra. The results obtained showed that both chemical treatments did not affect significantly the values of the physical-mechanical properties of the studied species.

Estudo da obtenção de briquetes autorredutores de minério de ferro e carvão fóssil endurecidos por tratamento térmico. / Development of composite briquettes of iron ore and coal hardened by heat treatment.

Narita, Cesar Yuji 10 November 2014 (has links)
Nos últimos anos, novas tecnologias têm sido desenvolvidas para a redução da emissão de gás carbônico, um dos principais causadores do efeito estufa. Na indústria de ferro e aço, grande emissora de gás carbônico, tecnologias para uso mais eficiente de carvão fóssil tem sido desenvolvidas. Uma dessas tecnologias é o produto chamado de CCB (Carbon Composite Iron Ore Hot Briquette), um composto de minério de ferro e carbono briquetado a quente que usa a plasticidade térmica do carvão fóssil como aglomerante para aumento da resistência mecânica do aglomerado. Esse produto tem como vantagens a alta velocidade de reação e alta resistência mecânica a altas temperaturas, diferentemente das pelotas autorredutores que usam aglomerantes inorgânicos. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: (a) propor um método para a fabricação de aglomerados autorredutores de minério de ferro e carvão fóssil via briquetagem a frio seguida de tratamento térmico; (b) identificar a principais variáveis de processo de fabricação; e (c) estudar o comportamento cinético durante a redução dos briquetes produzidos. Para fabricar os briquetes foram utilizados dois métodos de briquetagem, um em matriz cilíndrica de compressão uniaxial, e outro em prensa de rolos. Foram identificadas as principais variáveis de processo na fabricação dos briquetes: temperatura de tratamento térmico; tamanho de partícula dos componentes da mistura; características do carvão fóssil; pressão de compressão na conformação dos briquetes; proporção dos componentes; e taxa de aquecimento do tratamento térmico. A qualidade dos briquetes foi mensurada por sua resistência à compressão. Foi observado que a obtenção de um briquete autorredutor comparável com os CCBs, deve levar em conta as seguintes condições de fabricação: (a) tamanho de partícula do carvão fóssil entre 0,105 e 0,053 mm (150 e 270 mesh); (b) quantidade de carvão fóssil na mistura entre 25 e 30% em peso; e (c) temperatura de tratamento térmico de 500°C. Além disso, quanto maior a taxa de aquecimento do tratamento térmico, maior a resistência à compressão dos briquetes. A cinética de redução dos briquetes autorredutores tratados termicamente é bastante sensível à temperatura (E = 369 kJ/mol), principalmente quando comparada a pelotas autorredutoras de minério de ferro e carvão vegetal (E 200 kJ/mol). / In recent years, new technologies have been developed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, one of the main causes of the greenhouse effect. Innovative energy saving technologies have been developed to improve the efficiency of coal usage, especially in the iron making industry, which emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. One of these technologies is a product known as CCB (Carbon Composite Iron Ore Hot Briquette), a self-reducing carbon composite iron ore that uses the thermal plasticity of coking coals as a binder to enhance the mechanical strength of the agglomerate. This product has advantages such as high reaction rate and high mechanical strength at high temperatures when compared against self-reducing pellets that uses inorganic binders. The objectives of this study are: (a) to propose a method for manufacturing composite briquettes of iron ore and coal hardened by heat treatment; (b) to identify the main process variables of the fabrication; and (c) to study the agglomerate reduction kinetics. Two methods of briquetting have been employed, one using a cylindrical die and the other using a laboratory roller press. The main process variables for manufacturing the briquettes have been identified: the heat treatment temperature; the particle size of the components; the coal characteristics; the briquetting pressure; the proportion of the components; and the heating rate. Compressive strength tests have been performed. It was observed that obtaining a self-reducing briquette as strong as the CCB should consider the following fabrication conditions: (a) coal particle size between 0,105 and 0,053 mm (150 and 270 mesh); (b) coal amount in the mixture between 25 and 30 wt%; and (c) heat treatment temperature of 500°C. Also, higher heating rates showed higher briquette compressive strengths. The self-reducing briquettes reduction kinetics are very sensitive to temperature (E = 369 kJ/mol), especially when compared against self-reducing pellets of iron ore and charcoal (E 200 kJ/mol).

Emprego de espécies de baixa densidade na reabilitação de vigas de madeira / Use of low density species in the rehabilitation of timber beams

Balanco, Giovana Gobatto 21 February 2018 (has links)
A madeira foi largamente utilizada em edificações no período colonial brasileiro por sua abundância em variadas espécies e a facilidade de obtenção e adaptação aos fins previstos. Muitos destes imóveis ainda existem e abrangem a maior parte do patrimônio histórico e cultural de nossas cidades. Devido à degradação causada pelo tempo e a falta de manutenção adequada destes elementos estruturais, as edificações estão expostas ao risco de colapso. O objetivo deste trabalho foi sugerir um método de reabilitação parcial de vigas estruturais de madeira, pois se notou um problema recorrente nestes elementos em construções antigas pelo fato de acumularem umidade, serem alvos de patologias principalmente na parte superior. Para reabilitação empregamos madeiras de baixa densidade pela facilidade de compra desse material, baixo custo e principalmente por aderir muito bem a tratamento preservativo com CCB, o que garante que a estrutura estará protegida de novos ataques. Além das madeiras de baixa densidade tratadas, parafusos auto atarraxantes foram escolhidos para fazer a união entre as madeiras. Para os ensaios de flexão estática de 3 pontos foram adotados 4 diferentes tipos de parafusos variando o diâmetro e comprimento além disso, o número de parafusos inseridos nos corpos de prova também variou. Este estudo contém a análise de relação entre a quantidade de parafusos auto atarraxantes (que fazem a união das peças) e o produto de rigidez de peças mistas compostas de madeira referência (que simula a viga em estado de degradação) e madeira tratada (substituindo a porção degradada). Para a madeira referencia adotou-se Eucalipto (classe C30 de resistência) e Roxinho (classe C60) e, para madeira tratada adotou-se Pinus e Caxeta (de baixa densidade, ambas da classe C20). Análises estatísticas foram utilizadas para interpretação dos resultados obtidos em laboratório. Estas análises apontaram o crescimento do produto de rigidez das vigas mistas conforme a inserção de parafusos e a partir dai foi possível expressar em formulas a correlação dos dados. Utilizou-se o teste de Tukey para apontar o melhor tratamento para cada tipo de viga mista (Pinus e Eucalipto, Roxinho e Caxeta) além do melhor parafuso a se utilizar. / Wood was widely used in buildings in the Brazilian colonial period because of it is abundant in varied species and the ease of obtaining and adapting to intended purposes. Many of these properties still exist and cover most of historical and cultural heritage of Brazilian cities. Due to the degradation caused by the weather and lack of adequate maintenance of these structural elements, buildings are exposed to risk of collapse. The objective of this work was to suggest a method of partial rehabilitation of structural timber beams, since a recurrent problem was observed in these elements in old constructions due to accumulation of humidity, being targets of pathologies mainly in their upper part. For rehabilitation we use low density wood because of ease to purchasing this material, low cost and mainly for adhering very well to condom treatment with CCB, which ensures that the structure will be protected from further attacks. In addition to the treated low density woods, self-tapping screws were chosen to make union between woods. For tests, 4 different types of screws were used, varying diameter and length, and number of screws inserted in the specimens also varied. This study contains an analysis of relationship between the number of self-tapping screws (which make the joining of pieces) and the rigidity product of composite pieces of reference wood (which simulates beam in degraded state) and treated wood (replacing degraded portion). Eucalyptus (class C30 of resistance) and Roxinho (class C60) were used for reference wood, and Pinus and Caxeta (low density, both of class C20) were used for treated wood. Statistical analyzes were used to interpret results obtained in laboratory. These analyzes indicated growth of product of flexural stiffness according to insertion of screws and from this it was possible to express in formulas a correlation of data. Tukey test was used to indicate the best treatment for each type of mixed beam (Pinus and Eucalyptus, Roxinho and Caxeta) as well as the best screw to be used.

The objectives are to analyze the motivations of the faithful to be members of the CCB; as is the institutional link between the members; understand the collective demands that move in a sense of autonomy and individual empowerment; contribute to the debate on the fluid issues of the religious market. The problematization is based on the assumption that the CCB presents itself in the religious field as a locus of protection for its members. With its traditional doctrine, they believe they are free from the deception of the world's threatening reality. As a hypothesis, it is discussed about the motivation of people to follow more rigid dogmas to feel safe, in face of the multi-faceted religiosity in the contemporaneity: the thought of security versus that of freedom comes into play to direct the choices. / O objeto deste estudo é a Congregação Cristã no Brasil e sua manutenção tradicional no mercado religioso que apresenta sua expansão, seus processos dogmáticos. Os objetivos são analisar as motivações dos fiéis em ser frequentadores da Igreja CCB; como se dá o vínculo institucional entre os membros; compreender as demandas coletivas que transitam em um sentido de autonomização e empoderamento individual; contribuir com o debate sobre as questões fluídas do mercado religioso. A problematização parte do pressuposto de que a CCB se apresenta no campo religioso como lócus de proteção para seus membros. Com sua doutrina tradicional, eles acreditam estar livres do engano da realidade ameaçadora do mundo. Como hipótese, discute-se acerca da motivação de as pessoas seguirem dogmas mais rígidos para se sentirem em segurança, diante da religiosidade multifacetada na contemporaneidade: o pensamento da segurança versus o da liberdade entra em jogo para direcionar as escolhas.

Valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités par voies thermochimiques (pyrolyse et hydroliquéfaction) : Application aux bois traités aux sels de CCB (cuivre-chrome-bore)

Senga kiesse, Silao Esperance 02 April 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Les déchets de bois traités représentent 27% du gisement des déchets dangereux en France. Ces déchets sont incinérés dans des installations classées pour la protection de l'environnement (ICPE). Néanmoins, leur incinération nécessite des équipements robustes et coûteux pour le lavage des gaz et des fumées toxiques. Dans ce contexte, le présent travail a pour objectif d'élaborer et de mette en oeuvre d'autres voies de valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités par des procédés thermochimiques. Pour cela, les procédés de pyrolyse et d'hydroliquéfaction ont été mis en oeuvre principalement pour la valorisation énergétique des déchets de bois traités aux sels de CCB (cuivre-chrome-bore) qui représentent 8750 tonnes/an en France. Le bois imprégné de sels de CCB dans nos laboratoires conformément au traitement industriel, a été étudié afin de maîtriser le bilan des métaux dans les différents produits de pyrolyse et d'hydroliquéfaction. Une étude préliminaire de son comportement thermique a été menée par analyse thermogravimétrique dans le but de déterminer l'intervalle de température effectif à sa dégradation massique. Dans cet intervalle de température, les paramètres expérimentaux de pyrolyse lente ont été optimisés pour piéger les métaux dans le charbon. Par la suite, une étude paramétrique par la méthode des plans d'expérience a été réalisée pour la conversion du charbon en bio-huile. De plus, l'optimisation de l'hydroliquéfaction pour la conversion du bois traité en bio-huile a été effectuée. Les résultats montrent que les métaux initialement présents dans le bois traité sont répartis entre la bio-huile et le coke quelque soit la voie de valorisation énergétique empruntée (hydroliquéfaction/pyrolyse+hydroliquéfaction). Cependant la bio-huile présente des caractéristiques proches de celles des biodiesels. L'utilisation de catalyseur au cours de l'hydroliquéfaction du charbon de pyrolyse améliore non seulement la qualité de la bio-huile mais aussi le bilan d'énergie sur le procédé.
