The material described in this article deals with waste conversion into energy vectors by pyrolysis, steam cracking, or oxidation of liquid biomass, carried out at small to medium scale. The design of a bench-scale experimental setup devoted to gas phase kinetic data generation in a tubular reactor under laminar regime close to plug flow is detailed based on a very simple approach. Validation of the designed bench-scale setup was successfully carried out within the context of octanoic acid pyrolysis by generating kinetic data with satisfactory measurement repeatability and material balances. The key to this positive result is that axial dispersion coefficient is much smaller in gas-phase than in liquid-phase, thus allowing the designed small sized tubular reactor to be close to the plug flow reactor. Such a feature of the axial dispersion coefficient is not well known by the wider public. Besides, octanoic acid was selected as surrogate for carboxylic acids because of their key role in various industrial applications (combustion of ethyl biodiesel; production of biofuel and biosourced chemicals).

: For the first time in the present study, the non-bonded interaction of the Coniine (C8H17N) with carbon monoxide (CO) was investigated by density functional theory (DFT/M062X/6-311+G*) in the gas phase and solvent water. The adsorption of the CO over C8H17N was affected on the electronic properties such as EHOMO, ELUMO, the energy gap between LUMO and HOMO, global hardness. Furthermore, chemical shift tensors and natural charge of the C8H17N and complex C8H17N/CO were determined and discussed. According to the natural bond orbital (NBO) results, the molecule C8H17N and CO play as both electron donor and acceptor at the complex C8H17N/CO in the gas phase and solvent water. On the other hand, the charge transfer is occurred between the bonding, antibonding or nonbonding orbitals in two molecules C8H17N and CO. We have also investigated the charge distribution for the complex C8H17N/CO by molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) calculations using the M062X/6-311+G* level of theory. The electronic spectra of the C8H17N and complex C8H17N/CO were calculated by time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) for investigation of the maximum wavelength value of the C8H17N before and after the non-bonded interaction with the CO in the gas phase and solvent water. Therefore, C8H17N can be used as strong absorbers for air purification and reduce environmental pollution.

Gas phase back mixing has been measured in a column packed with vertical expanded metal sheet under the counter-current flow of gas and liquid by the static method using a tracer. The observed experimental concentration profiles has not confirmed our earlier proposed model of back mixing, based on the concentration profiles in absorption runs. These profiles do not even conform with the axially dispersed plug flow model currently used to describe axial mixing in packed bed columns. The concentration profiles may be described by a combination of the axially dispersed plug flow model with back flow.

Removal of SO2 from gas emissions by selective absorption into a liquid is a common method to reduce air pollution and environmental risks. The absorption efficiency is determined by the interaction between the gases and the liquid. A great number of gas desulphurization methods have been developed where aqueous or organic solvents are used as sorbents.N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) is an organic solvent used in the industry because its affinity with SO2. This absorption is neither too strong nor too weak, thus absorption and desorption can occur leading to a regenerative process where SO2 can be recovered. However, a direct contact between SO2 and DMA leads to several environmental problems caused by solvent evaporation and drops dragging into the gas stream.In order to increase the process efficiency and reduce environmental risks, a non-dispersive absorption process using hollow fibre membrane modules is developed in this work for a solvent zero emission process. The mass transfer into a fibre may be described by three main assumptions: gas-phase laminar flow, gas-phase plug-flow and gas-phase mixing. A numerical calculation was carried out to establish the performance of a hollow fibre membrane contactor for the removal of SO2 when water and N,N-dimethylaniline are used as sorbents in order to compare both, wetted and non-wetted operating modes.

Представлены результаты анализа содержания монооксида углерода, бензола, 1,3-бутадиена в газовой фазе аэрозоля (ГФА) образцов нагреваемых табачных палочек (стики) для электрических систем нагревания табака, пяти марок коммерческих сигарет, контрольной сигареты 3R4F с помощью тестирования на курительной машине в стандартном режиме прокуривания ISO и интенсивном ISO Intense. Установлено значительное снижение содержания монооксида углерода, бензола и 1,3-бутадиена в аэрозоле образцов стиков по режиму ISO Intense и ISO. Количество образующегося монооксида углерода в ГФА образцов стиков составляет 2% от его содержания в ГФА образца контрольных сигарет 3R4F, что подтверждает отсутствие процессов термического разложения (пиролиза) табака. Определено, что в ГФА образцов стиков содержится значительно меньше вредных и потенциально опасных соединений. Установлено снижение содержания бензола и 1,3-бутадиена более чем на 99% по сравнению с контрольным образцом 3R4F и пятью образцами популярных в России марок сигарет. The results of the analysis of the content of carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3-butadiene in the aerosol gas phase (AGPh) of heated tobacco sticks for electric tobacco heating systems, five brands of commercial cigarettes, 3R4F control cigarette using testing on a Smoking machine in standard ISO smoking mode and ISO Intense are presented. A significant decrease in the content of carbon monoxide, benzene and 1,3-butadiene in stick aerosols according to the ISO Intense and ISO modes was found. The amount of carbon monoxide produced in the effluent AGPh is 2% of its content in the AGPh of 3R4F control cigarettes, which confirms the absence of thermal decomposition (pyrolysis) of tobacco. It was determined that the AGPh of verses contains significantly fewer harmful and potentially dangerous compounds. A decrease in the content of benzene and 1,3-butadiene was found by more than 99% compared to the control sample of 3R4F cigarettes and five brands of cigarettes popular in Russia.
