Book Crystallization of Calcium Sulphate During Phosphoric Acid Production

Download or read book Crystallization of Calcium Sulphate During Phosphoric Acid Production written by You Peng (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of phosphoric acid from phosphate mineral rock involves the addition of phosphate rock to a concentrated sulfuric acid solution. The induced reactive crystallization process produces a side product of calcium sulfate hydrates, which become the filter media in the subsequent acid separation process. For most industrial processes, the dihydrate form of calcium sulfate crystals (gypsum) precipitates and its shape and size distribution are key factors in determining the downstream filtration efficiency. Particularly, the metal ion impurities coming from raw phosphate rock play an important role as shape modifiers. The presence of impurities in the acid mixture has an impact both thermodynamically and kinetically, although most of the available literature focuses on their sole role as growth inhibitors and has neglected their potential impact on altering solution speciation. Past studies on gypsum crystallization in phosphoric acid solutions usually involve the study of crystal growth and nucleation kinetics. However, most of these works did not use the correct definition of supersaturation when quantifying kinetic parameters. The high concentrations in this multicomponent electrolyte system implies that supersaturation, which be written in terms of the solubility product ratio, as governed by nonideal thermodynamics, requires the computation of activity coefficients as well as free ion concentrations. For this purpose, the mixed solvent electrolyte (MSE) model is utilized to capture the solution speciation in order to properly quantify supersaturation at any given condition. The MSE model is a first-principles model that determines solid-liquid equilibrium by calculating excess Gibbs energy from additive pairwise interactions. When impurities are present, additional binary interactions need to be included in the databank, which is carried out by regression analysis using solubility measurements. Continuous reactive crystallization experiments are carried out with and without additives using a mixed-suspension, mixed-product removal (MSMPR) crystallizer. The crystal size distribution and supersaturation are measured once the process reaches steady state. Different conditions are imposed to acquire both the temperature and supersaturation dependency of the crystallization kinetics. A two-dimensional growth model with dispersion is developed in order to capture the needle-like crystal morphology and the temperature dependence of the crystal aspect ratio, which is made possible by performing multi-scale image segmentation and edge detection using the Canny method. Experimental and numerical results are obtained for the base system and in the presence of single and combined impurity ions. Different growth inhibition models are verified and compared for numerical quantification of step advancement retardation in the presence of impurities. This study goes beyond past studies by providing a full two-dimensional kinetic model for a highly concentrated ionic system that includes crystallization kinetics and a thermodynamically correct driving force accounting for non-ideality as well as the effects of impurities.

Book Laboratory Investigation of Enhancing the Electrical Conductivity of Brine for Water flooding Front Tracking

Download or read book Laboratory Investigation of Enhancing the Electrical Conductivity of Brine for Water flooding Front Tracking written by Lei Liu (M.S. in Engineering) and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevention of early water breakthrough requires accurate tracking of fluid-front location in reservoirs. Various methods have been explored to provide time-space images of fluid movement. Among these methods, cross-well resistivity and in situ permanent monitoring are used to map the spatial distribution of electrical conductivity, which helps to monitor fluid location between wells during production at the reservoir scale. However, both approaches have limitations in their detectability and sensitivity of fluid fronts. To improve the accuracy and sensitivity of resistivity monitoring systems, a viable option is to increase the contrast in resistivity between in situ formation and injected fluids by enhancing the electrical conductivity of the injected fluid. This report presents laboratory experimental work carried out to explore options to enhance the electrical conductivity of the injected water-based fluid with respect to that of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. A series of case studies with nanofluids, conductive hydrogels, and highly conductive electrolytes, were conducted to quantify how temperature, additive types, and concentration affect the conductivity of NaCl solutions. An experimental system was built for conductivity measurements of fluids via the conductometric method. The electrical conductivity tests performed using conductometric and conductivity meter methods indicate that the conductivity of brine can be increased substantially by adding sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). Results confirm that the conductivity of NaCl-NaOH solutions can reach 10.6 S/m for 2 wt.% NaOH and 1 wt.% NaCl, as compared to 1.7 S/m for 1 wt.% NaCl solution without NaOH. Measurements performed with the conductometric method agree with those performed with the conductivity meter method when the concentration is less than 10 wt.%

Book Methods of Seawater Analysis

Download or read book Methods of Seawater Analysis written by Klaus Grasshoff and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the book first appeared in 1976, Methods of Seawater Analysis has found widespread acceptance as a reliable and detailed source of information. Its second extended and revised edition published in 1983 reflected the rapid pace of instrumental and methodological evolution in the preceding years. The development has lost nothing of its momentum, and many methods and procedures still suffering their teething troubles then have now matured into dependable tools for the analyst. This is especially evident for trace and ultra-trace analyses of organic and inorganic seawater constituents which have diversified considerably and now require more space for their description than before. Methods to determine volatile halocarbons, dimethyl sulphide, photosynthetic pigments and natural radioactive tracers have been added as well as applications of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and various electrochemical methods for trace metal analysis. Another method not previously described deals with the determination of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide as part of standardised procedures to describe the marine CO2 system.

Book Alkoxysilanes and the Consolidation of Stone

Download or read book Alkoxysilanes and the Consolidation of Stone written by George Wheeler and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stone is one of the oldest building materials, and its conservation ranks as one of the most challenging in the field. The use of alkoxysilanes in the conservation of stone can be traced as far back as 1861, when A. W. von Hoffman suggested their use for the deteriorating limestone on the Houses of Parliament in London. Alkoxysilane-based formulations have since become the material of choice for the consolidation of stone outdoors.^l This volume, the first to cover comprehensively alkoxysilanes in stone consolidation, synthesizes the subject's vast and extensive literature, which ranges from production of alkoxysilanes in the nineteenth century to the extensive contributions from sol-gel science in the 1980s and 90s. Included are a historical overview, an annotated bibliography, and discussions of the following topics: the chemistry and physics of alkoxysilanes and their gels; the influence of stone type; commercial and noncommercial formulations; practice; lab and field evaluation of service life; and recent developments. This book is designed for conservators, scientists, and preservation architects in the field of stone conservation and will also serve as an indispensable introduction to the subject for students of art conservation and historic preservation.
