<p>Cilj ove doktorske disertacije je postavljanje<br />matematičkog modela složenog trofaznog reakcionog<br />sistem za epoksidovanje sojinog ulja in situ formiranom<br />persirćetnom kiselinom iz sirćetne kiseline i vodonik<br />peroksida u prisustvu jonoizmenjivačke smole kao<br />katalizatora. Model uzima u obzir koncentracije<br />reaktanata i produkata u vodenoj i uljnoj fazi. Pored<br />osnovnih reakcija stvaranja persirćetne kiseline i<br />epoksida, model obuhvata i sporednu reakciju otvaranja<br />epoksi prstena sa sirćetnom kiselinom. Za modelovanje<br />reakcije formiranja persirćetne kiseline na povr&scaron;ini<br />katalizatora primenjeni su Langmuir-Hinshelwood-<br />Hougen-Watson i Rideal-Eley postulati. Postavljeni<br />trofazni model predstavlja sistem običnih diferencijalnih<br />jednačina prvog reda koji opisuje promenu broja molova<br />komponenata i funkcionalnih grupa sa vremenom<br />izvođenja procesa epoksidovanja, i sadrži vi&scaron;e parametara<br />razvrstanih na kinetičke, termodinamičke i parametre koji<br />se odnose na prenos mase. Parametri modela zavise od<br />uslova izvođenja epoksidovanja i to svi od temperature, a<br />neki i od sastava i inteziteta me&scaron;anja.<br />Za konstantu hemijske ravnoteže reakcije nastajanja<br />persirćetne kiseline je izvedena semiteorijska zavisnost<br />od temperature koja daje vrednosti istog reda veličine i<br />istog smera promene sa temperaturom kao i većina<br />podataka objavljenih u literaturi.<br />Za izračunavanje koeficijenta raspodele sirćetne kiseline<br />između uljne i vodene faze potrebno je odrediti zavisnost<br />konstante fazne ravnoteže tečno-tečno sirćetne kiseline od<br />sastava i temperature. Utvrđeno je da je UNIFAC model<br />grupnih doprinosa za koeficijente aktivnosti nepogodan<br />za predskazivanje ravnoteže tečno-tečno.

The local<br />concentrations of components in water and oil phases were<br />introduced into the model. In addition to reactions of the<br />peracetic acid and epoxy compound formation, model<br />considers the side reaction of epoxy ring cleavage with<br />acetic acid. Approximate modeling of peracetic acid<br />formation was based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-<br />Watson and Rideal-Eley postulates. Established threephase<br />model is a system of ordinary first order differential<br />equations which describes change of components and<br />functional groups amounts with reaction time. Besides<br />kinetic parameters, model comprises the thermodynamic<br />ones as well as parameters of mass transfer between the oil<br />and water phase. All model parameters are dependent on<br />temperature and some additionally on composition and<br />intensity of stirring.<br />A semitheoretical temperature dependency of chemical<br />equilibrium constant for peracetic acid formation was<br />established. The order of magnitude and temperature trend<br />of the calculated chemical equilibrium constant are in<br />agreement with the most data given in a literature.<br />For calculation of partition coefficient for acetic acid<br />between oil and water phase, temperature and composition<br />dependency of liquid-liquid equilibrium constant for acetic<br />acid is necessary. It was found that UNIFAC model of<br />group contribution was non-applicable for the prediction<br />of the equilibrium constant. The experimental data for the<br />equilibrium constant were, however, successfully fitted by<br />UNIQUAC model.<br />Temperature dependencies of the reaction rate constants<br />and sorption constants of reactants and products in<br />peracetic acid formation reaction are expressed by<br />reparameterized Arrhenius equation. The parameters of<br />such equation were determined simultaneously with mass<br />transfer parameters and ratio of peracetic acid and acetic<br />acid partition coefficients between oil and water phase by<br />fitting the experimental data i.e. by minimization of least<br />sum of squares of deviation between the calculated and<br />experimentally determined iodine value and epoxy oxygen<br />content . Marquardt method was successfully used to fit<br />the experimental data. A fourth-ordered Runge-Kutta<br />method was applied for integrating the system of<br />differential equations of the model.</p>

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / The production of biodiesel is generally performed by alkaline transesterification oils with low amounts of free fatty acids (FFAs). In order to decrease the costs of production of biodiesel, low quality waste cooking oils or grease have been investigated as a source alternative, but problems in the purification step due to the formation of soap are found in catalysis with sodium hydroxide. In this work, the ionic liquid choline hydroxide was produced and used as catalyst in the production of biodiesel from oils of frying food. An experimental design was carried out to investigate the influence of variables: molar ratio oil/alcohol, temperature and concentration of catalyst in the conversion of triglycerides and free fatty acids to methyl esters. The concentration of catalyst showed higher influence on conversion, followed by the molar ratio of oil / alcohol. The temperature range did not result in significant conversion changes. The kinetic analysis showed that the highest conversions were obtained with 3 hours of reaction. The statistical design allowed find optimal conditions: 5.5% w/w catalyst molar ratio of oil/methanol 1:12, temperature 40 ÂC and 3 hours of reaction. Thermodynamic properties and acid numbers were determined for reaction products of the reactions carried out in experimental design, in order to provide data for process control. The acid numbers of products of all reactions were significantly reduced, independent of conversion. To evaluate the possibility of recovery and reuse of the ionic liquid, the liquid-liquid equilibrium of systems containing water, 1-butanol and glycerin, water, 1-butanol and choline hydroxide, and the partition in the ionic liquid system water, 1-butanol and glycerin at 30  C were studied. The solubility of the components was evaluated by construction of the binodal curve and the compositions of the equilibrium phases were determined by densitometry. The results show that glycerin is distributed preferably in the phase rich in water and it was not possible to quantify all compositions the water phase system, 1-butanol and choline hydroxide in the case that an electrolytic system. / A produÃÃo de biodiesel à geralmente realizada por transesterificaÃÃo alcalina de Ãleos com baixa quantidade de Ãcidos graxos livres (AGLs). Visando diminuir os custos de produÃÃo do biodiesel, Ãleos de baixa qualidade ou residuais tÃm sido investigados como alternativa de fonte graxa, porÃm problemas na etapa de purificaÃÃo em decorrÃncia da formaÃÃo de sabÃes sÃo encontrados na catÃlise com hidrÃxido de sÃdio. Nesse trabalho, o lÃquido iÃnico hidrÃxido de colina foi produzido e aplicado como catalisador na produÃÃo de biodiesel a partir de Ãleos provenientes da fritura de alimentos. Um planejamento experimental foi realizado para investigar a influÃncia das variÃveis: razÃo molar Ãleo/Ãlcool, temperatura e concentraÃÃo de catalisador na conversÃo de triglicerÃdeos e AGLs a Ãsteres metÃlicos. A concentraÃÃo de catalisador apresentou maior influÃncia na conversÃo, seguido pela razÃo molar Ãleo/Ãlcool. A variaÃÃo de temperatura nÃo implicou em alteraÃÃes considerÃveis de conversÃo. A avaliaÃÃo cinÃtica mostrou que as maiores conversÃes foram obtidas com 3 horas de reaÃÃo. O planejamento estatÃstico permitiu encontrar condiÃÃes Ãtimas: 5,5 % m/m de catalisador, razÃo molar Ãleo/metanol de 1/12, temperatura de 40 ÂC e 3 horas de reaÃÃo. Propriedades termodinÃmicas e Ãndices de acidez foram determinados para os produtos reacionais das reaÃÃes realizadas no planejamento experimental, com o intuito de fornecer dados para o controle do processo. Os Ãndices de acidez dos produtos de todas as reaÃÃes apresentaram reduÃÃo significativa, independente da conversÃo. Para avaliar a possibilidade de recuperaÃÃo e reutilizaÃÃo do lÃquido iÃnico, o equilÃbrio lÃquido-lÃquido dos sistemas contendo Ãgua, n-butanol e glicerina, Ãgua, n-butanol e hidrÃxido de colina e a partiÃÃo do lÃquido iÃnico no sistema Ãgua, n-butanol e glicerina a 30 ÂC foram estudados. A solubilidade dos componentes foi avaliada por meio da construÃÃo da curva binodal e as composiÃÃes das fases em equilÃbrio foram determinadas atravÃs da densimetria. Os resultados mostram que a glicerina se distribui preferencialmente na fase rica em Ãgua e que nÃo foi possÃvel quantificar todas as composiÃÃes das fases do sistema Ãgua, n-butanol e hidrÃxido de colina por se tratar este de um sistema eletrolÃtico.

A fim de possibilitar o emprego industrial dos óleos essenciais como agentes aromatizantes, é interessante que estes sejam submetidos à desterpenação, obtendo-se uma fração mais enriquecida em oxiterpenos, que é mais solúvel em água, estável, além de manter o aroma característico do óleo bruto. Este fracionamento pode ser realizado por extração líquida utilizando etanol como solvente. Neste contexto, o processo de desterpenação de óleo essencial de bergamota em coluna de discos rotativos perfurados (PRDC), utilizando como solventes soluções etanólicas com diferentes teores de água foi estudado por meio da obtenção de dados experimentais e de simulação computacional do processo. Em adição, o equilíbrio de fases, a 25 °C, de sistemas modelo de óleo de eucalipto, cravo e pimenta da Jamaica e de sistemas contendo óleos essenciais brutos de bergamota e lavandim também foram estudados nesta tese. Observou-se que, no estudo do equilíbrio de fases, dentre os sistemas monitorados, o composto oxigenado eugenol e o hidrocarboneto sesquiterpênico cariofileno, presentes nos óleos de cravo e pimenta da Jamaica apresentaram, respectivamente, o maior e menor valores de coeficiente de distribuição. Para os sistemas contendo óleos brutos de bergamota e lavandim verificou-se que os parâmetros binários dos modelos NRTL e UNIQUAC, ajustados previamente para o sistema modelo de óleo de bergamota, são capazes de descrever o equilíbrio de fases dos sistemas mais complexos. Ademais, com relação ao estudo do processo de desterpenação de óleo essencial em PRDC, pode-se inferir que a obtenção de frações enriquecidas nos compostos oxigenados é viável e factível para óleos que apresentem baixos teores de linalol em sua composição. / In order to enable the industrial use of essential oils as flavoring agents, they should be fractionated by means of deterpenation, yielding a fraction enriched in oxiterpenes, which is more soluble in water and more stable, besides keeping the characteristic aroma of the crude oil. This fractionation can be performed by liquid extraction using ethanol as solvent. In this context, the deterpenation process of bergamot essential oil was investigated in a perforated rotating disc column (PRDC) using ethanol solutions with different percentages of water as the solvent. The separation process was studied here by experimental data and computer simulations. Additionally, the phase equilibrium at 25 oC of systems containing eucalyptus, clove, and allspice, and systems containing crude essential oils of bergamot and lavandin were also analyzed. In the phase equilibrium analysis, it was observed that, among the evaluated components, the oxygenated compound eugenol and the terpenic hydrocarbon caryophyllene, found in the clove and allspice oil, showed, respectively, the highest and lowest values of distribution coefficient. For systems containing bergamot and lavandin crude essential oils, it was observed that the NRTL and UNIQUAC binary parameters, previously adjusted to the bergamot essential oil model system, were able to describe the phase equilibrium of more complex systems. Besides, in relation to the study of the deterpenation process of crude essential oils in PRDC, it could be inferred that enriched fractions in oxygenated compounds are viable and feasible to be obtained in oils that show low levels of linalol in their composition.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Aromatic hydrocarbons are chemical compounds of great interest in the petrochemical industry. These are commonly derived from reformed naphtha, which are in multicomponent mixtures with aliphatic hydrocarbons. The separation of these components is realized, generally, the liquid-liquid extraction process. In this process, the sulfolane is the most widely used solvent. However, this has some disadvantages such as high cost. For this reason, many studies are developed by the academic community in order to propose alternative solvents to replace the exclusive use of sulfolane by compounds that are important features like good selectivity, easy recoverability and low costs. Given the above, this study main aims to determine liquid-liquid equilibrium data (LLE) to study the ability of solvents [diethylene glycol (DEG), triethylene glycol (TEG), glycerol and 2-hydroxyethyl amine format (2-HEAF)] in extracting aromatic mixtures with aliphatic. The physical properties also of great importance in the understanding of the behavior and interactions that occur in liquid mixtures. Thus, in this study were also studied the density and viscosity of solvent extractors aromatic. The experimental methodology for the determination of LLE data was initially validated by reproducing the literature, and the results showed good agreement between these data. After the method has been validated, solubility curves and tie-lines were constructed for systems containing decane + toluene + DEG (+ TEG, + glycerol, + 2-HEAF, + sulfolane) at T = (303.15 and 333.15) K. The composition data of tie-lines, obtained experimentally, were used to calculate the selectivity parameter and the distribution coefficient. With this data, it can be concluded that all the solvents studied have a good capacity for toluene extraction from mixtures with decane. However, the glycerol has presented as the most promising solvent for aromatics extraction. Finally, the experimental data were correlated through the thermodynamic activity coefficient models, NRTL and UNIQUAC. The results were considered satisfactory, noting that the NRTL was the model that presented minor deviations in compositions. Thus, best represented the LLE data for the systems studied. / Os hidrocarbonetos aromÃticos sÃo compostos quÃmicos de grande interesse na indÃstria petroquÃmica. Estes sÃo comumente originados da nafta reformada, onde encontram-se em misturas multicomponentes com hidrocarbonetos alifÃticos. A separaÃÃo destes componentes à realizada, em sua grande maioria, pelo processo de extraÃÃo lÃquido-lÃquido. Nesse processo, o sulfolano à o solvente mais utilizado. No entanto, este apresenta algumas desvantagens, tais como alto custo. Por esse motivo, inÃmeros estudos sÃo realizados pela comunidade acadÃmica a fim de propor solventes alternativos que substituam o uso exclusivo do sulfolano por compostos que tambÃm apresentem caracterÃsticas importantes, como boa seletividade, boa recuperabilidade e baixos custos. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo determinar dados de equilÃbrio lÃquido-lÃquido (ELL) para estudar a capacidade dos solventes [dietilenoglicol (DEG), trietilenoglicol (TEG), glicerina e 2-hidroxietilamina formato (2-HEAF)] em extrair aromÃticos das misturas com alifÃticos. As propriedades fÃsicas tambÃm assumem extrema importÃncia no conhecimento do comportamento e das interaÃÃes que ocorrem nas misturas de lÃquidos. Deste modo, neste trabalho foram estudados a densidade e a viscosidade de solventes extratores de aromÃticos. A metodologia experimental para obtenÃÃo dos dados de ELL foi inicialmente validada reproduzindo dados da literatura, e os resultados mostraram uma boa concordÃncia entre estes dados. ApÃs a metodologia ter sido validada foram construÃdas curvas de solubilidade e tie-lines para os sistemas contendo decano + tolueno + DEG (+ TEG, + glicerina, + 2-HEAF, + sulfolano) a T = (303,15 e 333,15) K. Os dados de composiÃÃo das tie-lines, obtidos experimentalmente, foram utilizados para calcular o parÃmetro de seletividade e o coeficiente de distribuiÃÃo. De posse desses dados, pode-se concluir que todos os solventes estudados apresentam boa capacidade para extraÃÃo de tolueno a partir de misturas com decano. No entanto, a glicerina destacou-se como o solvente mais promissor para a extraÃÃo de aromÃticos apresentando os maiores valores para seletividade. Finalmente, os dados experimentais foram correlacionados atravÃs dos modelos termodinÃmicos de coeficiente de atividade, NRTL e UNIQUAC. Os resultados foram considerados satisfatÃrios, observando-se que o NRTL foi o modelo que apresentou os menores desvios na composiÃÃo. Dessa forma, representou melhor os dados de ELL para os sistemas estudados.

A modelagem das fases foi desenvolvida com dois modelos termodinâmicos, em que a fase sólida foi descrita por uma modificação da equação de Slaughter e Doherty e a líquida, modelada por Margules 2-sufixos. Assim esse trabalho trata da utilização de novas aplicações para a fase líquida, com o Modelo de Margules - 2 sufixos, que passa e ser usado e desenvolvido de dois modos: o primeiro, nomeado Margules Assimétrico, em que os parâmetros de interação de Margules são diferentes, e o outro, chamado Margules Simétrico, neste, os parâmetros são considerados equivalentes; e ainda com aplicação do Modelo de Wilson. Para tal desenvolvimento, a proposta é utilizar dados experimentais de equilíbrio, disponíveis da literatura, em caráter comparativo; e fazer o próprio cálculo dos dados da curva de equilíbrio, com os respectivos ajustes dos parâmetros nos modelos utilizados. Os resultados obtidos são apresentados na forma de diagrama de fases e ajustes de parâmetros dos modelos envolvidos, calculados e comparados pela técnica de minimização dos quadrados dos erros, que por sua vez apresentam-se satisfatória proximidade dos dados experimentais.

This problem was a non-linear program, that was implemented in software GAMS and software Microsoft Excel, which the case studies are binary and ternary mixtures of fatty acids, triglycerides, ethyl and methyl esters using the minimization of Gibbs energy free of the systems. The description of phases was done based in two thermodynamics models, the solid phase was characterized using a modified Slaughter and Doherty model and liquid phase with Margules 2 - suffixes. In this work the on liquid phase, the Margules model assume two forms: Margules Asymmetric, where the Margules parameters are different and Margules Symmetric, with equal Margules parameters, after was used Wilson Model too. Experimental data was used in comparative mode and new equilibrium dates was obtained and the parameters model also was discovery. The results are described in form of phase diagrams, where the equilibrium data and the parameters model was calculated based in the square errors, that are nearly of the experimental data.

<p> Understanding the behavior of liquid hydrocarbon propellants under high pressure and temperature conditions is a crucial step towards improving the performance of modern-day combustion engines (liquid rocket engines, diesel engines, gas turbines and so on) and designing the next generation ones. Under such harsh thermodynamic conditions (high P&T) propellent droplets may experience anywhere from sub-to-trans-to-supercritical regime. The focus of this research is to explore the dynamics of the vapor-liquid two phase system formed by a liquid hydrocarbon fuel (n-heptane or n-dodecane) and ambient (nitrogen) over a wide range of P&T leading up to the mixture critical point and beyond. Molecular dynamics (MD) has been used as the primary tool in this research along with other tools like: phase stability calculations based on Gibb’s work, Peng Robinson equation of state, density gradient theory and neural networks.</p>

Ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre du développement de nouveaux procédés de désacidification de gaz naturel à travers l'étude thermodynamique des équilibres entre les gaz acides (CO2 et H2S) et un solvant mixte. Ce solvant résulte de la combinaison d'un solvant chimique (solution aqueuse de diéthanolamine) et d'un solvant physique (méthanol). Couplant équilibres chimique et physique, la modélisation de ces systèmes nécessite l'élaboration de modèles complexes et une large gamme de données d'équilibre liquide-vapeur. La première partie de ce travail est consacrée à l'acquisition de données expérimentales de solubilité des gaz acides dans le solvant mixte. En étendant le champ d'application d'un appareillage fonctionnant en méthode synthétique, nous avons acquis des données originales de solubilité des mélanges CO2 + H2S dans des solvants eau-diéthanolamine-méthanol. Dans la seconde partie, la modélisation simultanée des équilibres chimiques et physiques est réalisée. L'approche hétérogène développée combine le modèle NRTL-Electrolyte pour représenter la phase liquide avec l'équation d'état de Peng-Robinson pour décrire le comportement de la phase vapeur. La procédure d'ajustement des paramètres est graduelle si bien que le système complet eau-diéthanolamine-méthanol-CO2-H2S est décrit de manière prédictive, les paramètres du modèle NRTL-Electrolyte ayant été déterminés sur des systèmes inférieurs. L'effet de solvatation du méthanol est aussi mis en valeur. Nous nous sommes également intéressés au calcul des chaleurs d'absorption et à l'extension de notre modèle à d'autres alcanolamines / This work is related to the development of new processes about gas sweetening with hybrid solvents coupling a chemical one (aqueous solution of diethanolamine) with a physical one (methanol). In the liquid phase, CO2 and H2S react with diethanolamine so that the VLE description of these systems is quite complex and requires experimental data. The first part of this work is dedicated to the experimental determination of acid gases + hybrid solvent solubility data. The experimental apparatus was improved to study H2S solubility and CO2 + H2S mixtures solubility in water-diethanolamine-methanol solvents. In the second part, the simultaneous representation of chemical and phase equilibria was realised. The heterogeneous approach developed here combines the Peng-Robinson equation of state for the vapour phase with the Electrolyte-NRTL model for the liquid phase. Parameters are fitted gradually so that the entire system water-diethanolamine-methanol-CO2-H2S system is extrapolated using Electrolyte-NRTL parameters determined by fitting experimental acid gas partial pressures of lower systems. Methanol effect is also described. An original calculation of heat of absorption was also developed. We extended the use of our approach to study others alkanolamines

Lors de l'extraction de l'uranium par lixiviation acide, AREVA fait face à des phénomènes transitoires de précipitation de phases mal cristallisées entrainant un colmatage des installations. Les analyses de ces précipités ont mis en évidence la formation d'un solide jaune minoritaire et d'un blanc majoritaire composé de sulfate de calcium et d'hydroxysulfate d'aluminium. Afin de comprendre les phénomènes menant à la précipitation et pour prévoir, éviter ou limiter leur apparition, les travaux de thèse ont consisté en l'étude expérimentale des équilibres solides-liquide du système complexe Al–Fe–K–P–S–H2O (± Ca et Mg) en milieu acide à 25°C, avec pour objectif l'identification des solides susceptibles d'apparaître en conditions industrielles. Les résultats permettront ainsi de compléter les bases de données thermodynamiques utilisées pour modéliser le comportement global du milieu lors des opérations. Après la mise au point de techniques analytiques appropriées, le travail s'est porté sur la délimitation des équilibres liquide-solides du système relatif au précipité blanc et particulièrement sur l'analyse des ternaires impliquant les hydroxysulfates d'aluminium. Le colmatage se produisant durant la phase d'acidification, l'évolution de la précipitation de ces hydroxysulfates en fonction du pH a été étudiée, afin de caractériser les solides formés en présence de cations minoritaires (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+) et de définir leurs constantes de solubilités à partir d'un modèle de calcul des coefficients d'activités des ions en solution. Des tests dynamiques sur colonne à partir de minerai naturel ont également été effectués et comparés aux résultats statiques / During the uranium extraction by acid leaching, AREVA observed the precipitation of not well crystallized solid phases, leading to the clogging of various equipment. The analyses of these precipitates highlighted the formation of a minor yellow precipitate and a major white precipitate containing calcium sulphate and aluminium hydroxisulphate. To understand the phenomena leading to the precipitation and to predict, prevent or at least limit their formation, this thesis work consisted of the solid-liquid equilibria experimental study of the Al–Fe–K–P–S–H2O (± Ca and Mg) system in an acidic environment at 25°C, with the identification of solid phases which may appear in natural ore as the major goal. The results could complete the thermodynamic database used to model global behaviour of the environment during acid mining. Based on the observed precipitates, two quaternary systems were defined, such as the H2O-Al3+, Ca2+ // O2-, SO42- system. After the development of appropriate analytical techniques, the work focused on the delimitation of the liquid-solid equilibria of the system based on the white precipitate and particularly on the analysis of the ternaries involving aluminium hydroxisulphates. As clogging occurs during acidification, the hydroxisulphate precipitation depending on the pH was studied in the presence of minority cations (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+), in order to characterise the solid phases which were formed, and to define their solubility constants. For the solubility constant determination, a calculation model of the ion activity coefficients in solution was used. A dynamic survey on a column containing natural ore was done and compared to static results
