Technical modeling in integrated risk assessment of chemical installations

This paper presents the technical model of an Integrated Quantitative Risk Assessment method, taking into account management as well as technical design and producing risk level measures. The basic steps of the technical model consist in developing a Master Logic Diagram (MLD) delineating the major immediate causes of Loss of Containment and associated quantitative models for assessing their frequency. Appropriate management models quantify the parameters of the technical model on the basis of the safety management system of the installation. The methodology is exemplified through its application on the risk assessment of a LPG scrubbing tower of an oil refinery. A detailed technical model simulating the response of the system to various initiating events is developed, along with a detailed model simulating the influence of the plant-specific management and organizational practices. The overall effect is quantified through the frequency of release of LPG as a result of a Loss of Containment in scrubbing towers of the refinery.     

NaClO2海水溶液强化烟气脱硝效果的实验研究

海水中富含多种盐类,具有一定碱性,是天然的缓冲剂,在脱硫脱硝方面具有良好的应用前景.利用不同浓度的NaClO_2溶液进行废气循环喷淋脱硝实验.结果表明,NaClO_2模拟海水溶液与NaClO_2淡水溶液都能将NO完全脱除,且当NO完全被脱除时,模拟海水溶液的持续时间比淡水溶液更长,模拟海水中所含有的少量HCO_3~-和OH~-是造成这种差异的主要原因.滴定实验结果显示0.066 mmol的HCl就可使NaClO_2淡水溶液的pH值降到7,而NaClO_2模拟海水溶液的pH值降到7需要0.114 mmol的HCl;在循环喷淋脱硝过程中NaClO_2模拟海水溶液的pH值基本维持在7以上.离子色谱检测结果显示脱硝后溶液中主要阴离子为Cl~-和NO_3~-.基于质量平衡计算结果,当NaClO_2浓度为20 mmol·L~(-1)时,在脱硝过程中淡水溶液中NaClO_2的利用率为56%,而模拟海水溶液中NaClO_2的利用率可达67.25%,提高幅度为20.1%.     

Characterising the performance of a tapered scrubber for controlling particulate emission

The performance of a modified tapered scrubber using water is presented in this article. The column is fabricated with internals so as to improve the performance of a simple tapered bubble scrubber. Experimentation indicates that the system developed can obtain almost 100% particulate (fly ash) removal efficiency under certain hydrodynamical conditions and the removal efficiency has been found to be higher than the existing similar systems. An empirical correlation is put forward for the prediction of removal efficiency as a function of relevant variables of the system. Experimental results agree very well with the correlation.     

Removing ammonia from air with a constant pH,slightly acidic water spray wet scrubber using recycled scrubbing solution

Slightly acidic solutions are a practical means of removing ammonia from air Scrubbed NH₃ accumulates in solution as NH₄⁺ and should be an excellent fertilizer Increased air velocity decreased NH₃ removal and increased NH₄⁺ collection Previous research on wet scrubbers has only studied highly acidic scrubbing solutions because of their high ammonia capture efficiencies; however, the high acidity created practical problems. Lower acidity solutions would reduce corrosion, maintenance, and cost; however, designers may need to use strategies for increasing scrubber effectiveness, such as using lower air velocities. The objective of this study was to determine if a spray scrubber with slightly acidic and higher pH scrubbing solution (pH from 2 to 8) could effectively remove NH₃ from NH₃ laden air (such as animal building exhaust air), and also collect this valuable resource for later use as a fertilizer. A bench-scale spray wet scrubber treated 20 ppmv NH₃/air mixture in a countercurrent contact chamber. First, the solution pH was varied from 2 to 8 while maintaining constant air velocity at 1.3 m·s⁻¹. Next, air velocity was increased (2 and 3 m·s⁻¹) while solution pH remained constant at pH6. At 1.3 m·s⁻¹, NH₃ removal efficiencies ranged between 49.0% (pH8) and 84.3% (pH2). This study has shown that slightly acidic scrubbing solutions are a practical means of removing ammonia from air especially if the scrubber is designed to increase collisions between solution droplets and NH₃ molecules. The NH₃ removed from the air was held in solution as NH₄⁺ and accumulates over time so the solution should be an excellent fertilizer.     

石灰对高温烟气中重金属的吸附特性研究

研究了常用的酸性气体吸收剂石灰在600℃和800℃下对焚烧烟气中常见的四种重金属Cd,Pb,Zn和Cu的吸附效果。实验中采用重金属的氯化物作为蒸发源将重金属挥发到烟气中,吸收剂在流化床中对烟气中的重金属进行吸收。实验结果表明石灰类吸收剂在600℃和800℃时对四种重金属均有一定的吸附效果,其中Cd和Pb容易被吸附,而Zn难以被吸附。所试验的三种石灰吸收剂中,CaCO3对重金属的吸附能力相对较差,特别是对Cd和Pb;而普通Ca(OH)2的吸附能力最强。为了提高高温烟气净化残渣的质量,600℃及以上的高温下宜使用CaCO3和改性Ca(OH)2作酸性气体的吸收剂。

Absorption kinetics of NO from simulated flue gas using Fe(II)EDTA solutions

The absorption of NO encountering flue gases in aqueous solutions of Fe(II)EDTA was determined using a semi-batch stirred tank with a plane gas–liquid interface at 50 °C. The concentrations of NO, SO₂ and O₂ in the feeding stream were 300–800 ppm, 500–2200 ppm and 0–20%, respectively. The pH value of the Fe(II)EDTA solutions varied from 3 to 11. The concentrations of Fe(II)EDTA were maintained between 0.01 and 0.05 M. Experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of operating parameters on the NO absorption rate, the reaction kinetics of the reactants in gas and liquid phases, and the effect of competition between various reactants on the mass transfer rate in the NO removal system. Results indicate that the average reaction rate constant is 3.70 × 10⁷ M⁻¹ s⁻¹. Adding NaOH does not increase the absorption capability of Fe(II)EDTA. The presence of O₂ decreases the NO absorption rate with Fe(II)EDTA. The absorption rate of NO with Fe(II)EDTA decreases at low concentrations of SO₂, but increases at high concentrations.

Natural under-canopy regeneration and height-age structure of small-leaved linden (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Tilia cordata</Emphasis> Mill.) undergrowth in water-conservation forests around Pavlovskoe Reservoir,Ufa River

Natural regeneration and the height-age structure of small-leaved linden (Tilia cordata Mill.) under a forest canopy were studied with regard to specific features of forest typology on the Ufa Plateau. For the first time, the height-age structure of linden undergrowth was analyzed by an anatomical method, which allowed accurate determination of the actual plant age and linear increment. The results of this analysis made it possible to reveal three periods in the development of linden undergrowth with respect to the linear growth rate and abundance of plants. More successful regeneration of linden was observed in open elements of relief.
