Evaluation of Air Inlet Configuration's Effect on Biochar Properties From African Mesquite Pod Carbonization

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The suboptimal efficiency of current biomass conversion processes necessitates the optimization of biochar production methodologies to enhance desired biochar characteristics. In this study, an investigation was conducted to determine the optimal air inlet configuration within a top‐lit updraft gasifier system for enhancing biochar properties ...

Characterization and Modeling of Industrial Phosphoric Acids' Rheological Behavior: Impact of Magnesium Monoxide on Viscosity

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the rheological behavior of industrial phosphoric acids (H3PO4) produced at the JORF–LASFAR phosphoric plant in Morocco, with P2O5 concentrations of 18%, 29%, 42%, and 54%. Rheological measurements were performed using a rotary cylinder rheometer over a shear rate range of 1–1000 s−1.
