Strong Implications From Small Deviations in Labeling Patterns: The Mechanism of Burkholderia gladioli Pacifigorgiadiene Synthase

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The mechanism of pacifigorgiadiene synthase from Burkholderia gladioli was investigated through isotopic labeling experiments and DFT calculations. The results revealed an unexpected labeling pattern which appeared to be different in the main and the side products, requiring unprecedented mechanistic explanations, including a “break‐flip‐cyclise ...

Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
The ignition and combustion of particle clouds are strongly affected by particle interactions. This study uses spectroscopy to examine effects of particle size, water content, and cloud density. Results show ignition delay rises with larger size and density, whereas combustion duration depends mainly on water and density due to moisture‐driven ...

Design and implementation of a 3D‐printed modular distillation tower for experimental teaching in chemical engineering

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Several authors have reported the disconnection between the skills, abilities, and attitudes of graduates from STEM careers with the current needs of the labour market. In science and engineering fields, research has found the need for interdisciplinary approaches that encourage meaningful learning.

Production of middle distillates through olefin oligomerization using ZSM‐5 as a catalyst

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The global transportation sector relies heavily on gasoline (C5–C12) and diesel (C11–C24), which together account for approximately 60% of its energy needs. Driven by rapid industrialization and urbanization, diesel consumption is outpacing gasoline, with projections estimating global demand by 2035 at 27 million barrels per day for gasoline ...

Catalytic ignition model in a monolithic reactor with in-depth reaction [PDF]

Two transient models have been developed to study the catalytic ignition in a monolithic catalytic reactor. The special feature in these models is the inclusion of thermal and species structures in the porous catalytic layer.

A‐optimal model‐based design of experiments for processes with uncertain inputs

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Model‐based design of experiments (MBDoE) techniques are tools for selecting experimental conditions that enable accurate parameter estimation for mechanistic models. Most MBDoE approaches assume that the selected experimental conditions will be implemented perfectly, without uncertainties in the independent variables.

Natural South African iron‐rich sand as a functional catalyst in hybrid photocatalytic wet peroxide oxidation technology for the degradation of methyl orange dye pollutant

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This research explored South African iron‐rich sand (SAIRS) as a natural catalyst for light‐mediated wet peroxide oxidation of methyl orange dye in wastewater and at an optimized of conditions of 3500 mg/L catalyst dose, 6 mM H2O2, and pH 2.5, SAIRS achieved 94% methyl orange degradation within 90 min under visible light.

Ultrafast Transitions in X‐Ray Irradiated Solids

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we present current developments on modeling ultrafast transitions in solids triggered by intense, atto‐ to femtosecond pulses from X‐ray free electron lasers. This specific irradiation regime requires dedicated simulation tools based on theoretical and computational methods, involving the elements of classical and quantum ...
