Performance of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil–Diesel Blends: Ignition and Combustion Insights

Energies
Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a second-generation biofuel with physicochemical properties similar to conventional diesel. Composed mainly of n-paraffins, it offers favorable autoignition characteristics.

Impact of Trace Water on the Macroscopic Activity of Commercial Ammonia Cracking Catalysts Under Process‐Relevant Conditions

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study evaluates how small water impurities—typical in ammonia cracking feedstock—affect catalyst performance at elevated pressures and temperatures. By decoupling permanent degradation from reversible inhibition, the findings highlight trace water as a significant factor for reliable catalyst screening and industrial ammonia cracking scale‐up ...

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...

Role of Lewis centres on ethanol dehydrogenation over the Cu‐Cr/γ‐Al2O3 system

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Cu–Cr interactions on alumina enhance Lewis acid site density, boosting selectivity towards ethanol dehydrogenation products. Soft coke formation on copper and Cu–Cr sites drives deactivation, shifting the reaction towards unwanted dehydration products.

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Temperature‐programmed oxidation—TPO

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Temperature‐programmed oxidation (TPO) probes the oxidative capacity and redox properties of solid materials—catalysts, metal oxides, perovskites, and carbonaceous deposits. It identifies coke type, distribution, and reactivity. TPO instruments pass an oxidizing gas (diluted O2$$ {\mathrm{O}}_2 $$, air, or less commonly N2O$$ {\mathrm{N}}_2 ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Temperature‐programmed desorption—TPD

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Temperature‐programmed desorption (TPD) characterizes the surface active sites of functional materials, such as adsorbents (metal hydrides, porous carbons, zeolites, metal–organic frameworks, for example) and catalysts. Solids surfaces are pre‐treated to remove moisture, contaminants, and previously adsorbed species, then a probe molecule (NH3$

Photothermal bubble: Dynamics, manipulation, and applications

Droplet, EarlyView.
As a versatile platform for bubble manipulation, photothermal techniques empower diverse operations: planar translation by scanning the laser spot, sustained periodic bouncing from competing thermal and hydrodynamic flows, and even guided 3D trajectories achieved by tailoring the heating configuration.
