In this study, was used a very promising technique called of pyrolysis, which can be used for obtaining products with higher added value. From oils and residues, since the contribution of heavier oils and residues has intensified to the world refining industry, due to the growing demand for fuel, for example, liquid hydrocarbons in the range of gasoline and diesel. The catalytic pyrolysis of vacuum residues was performed with the use of a mesoporous material belonging the M41S family, which was discovered in the early 90s by researchers Mobil Oil Corporation, allowing new perspectives in the field of catalysis. One of the most important members of this family is the MCM-41, which has a hexagonal arrangement of mesopores with pore diameters between 2 and 10 nm and a high specific surface area, making it very promising for use as a catalyst in petroleum refining for catalytic cracking, and their mesopores facilitate the access of large hydrocarbon molecules. The addition of aluminum in the structure of MCM-41 increases the acidity of the material, making it more positive for application in the petrochemical industry. The mesoporous material of the type Al-MCM41 (ratio Si / Al = 50) was synthesized by hydrothermal method starting from the silica gel, NaOH and distilled water added to the gel pseudobohemita synthesis. Driver was used as structural CTMABr. Removal of organic driver (CTMABr) was observed by TG / DTG and FTIR, but this material was characterized by XRD, which was observed the formation of the main peaks characteristic of mesoporous materials. The analysis of adsorption / desorption of nitrogen this material textural parameters were determined. The vacuum residues (VR's) that are products of the bottom of the vacuum distillation tower used in this study are different from oil fields (regions of Ceará and Rio de Janeiro). Previously characterized by various techniques such as FTIR, viscosity, density, SARA, elemental analysis and thermogravimetry, which was performed by thermal and catalytic degradation of vacuum residues. The effect of AlMCM-41 was satisfactory, since promoted a decrease in certain ranges of temperature required in the process of conversion of hydrocarbons, but also promoted a decrease in energy required in the process. Thus enabling lower costs related to energy expenditure from degradation during processing of the waste

The growing world demand for energy supplied by fossil fuels, a major contributor to the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere and causing environmental problems, has been encouraging governments and international organizations to reflect and encourage the use of alternative renewable sources. Among these new possibilities deserves attention biodiesel, fuel cleaner and easy to reproduce. The study of new technologies involving that source is necessary. From this context, the paper aims at analyzing the thermal stability by thermogravimetric analysis, of the waste generated from atmospheric distillation of mixtures with ratios of 5, 10, 15 and 20% palm biodiesel in diesel with and without addition of BHT antioxidant. It was synthesized biodiesel through palm oil, via homogeneous catalysis in the presence of KOH, with and without the use of BHT and subsequently added to the diesel common indoor type (S1800) from a gas station BR. The diesel was already added with 5% biodiesel, and thus the proportions used for these blends were subtracted from the existing ratio in diesel fuel, resulting in the following proportions palm oil biodiesel: 0% (B5), 5% (B10), 10 % (B15) and 15% (B20). From atmospheric distillation analysis, performed in mixtures with and without BHT were collected residue generated by each sample and performed a thermal study from the thermogravimetric analysis at a heating rate of 10 °C.min-1, nitrogen atmosphere and heating to 600 ° C. According to the specifications of Resolution No. 7/2008 for biodiesel, it was found that the material was synthesized in accordance with the specifications. For mixtures, it was noted that the samples were in accordance with the ANP Resolution No. 42/2009. Given the TG / DTG curves of the samples of waste mixtures with and without BHT antioxidant was able to observe that they showed a single stage of thermal decomposition attributed to decomposition of heavy hydrocarbons and esters and other heavier constituents of the waste sample weighed. The thermal behavior of residues from atmospheric distillation of mixtures of diesel / biodiesel is very important to understand how this affects the proper functioning of the engine. A large amount of waste can generate a high content of particulate material, coke formation and carbonaceous deposits in engine valves, compromising their performance

Aiming to reduce and reuse waste oil from oily sludge generated in large volumes by the oil industry, types of nanostructured materials Al-MCM-41 and Al-SBA-15, with ratios of Si / Al = 50, were synthesized , and calcined solids used as catalysts in the degradation of oily sludge thermocatalytic oil from oilfield Canto do Amaro, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Samples of nanostructured materials were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TG / DTG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), absorption spectroscopy in the infrared Fourier transform (FT-IR) and adsorption nitrogen (BET). The characterization showed that the synthesized materials resulted in a catalyst nanostructure, and ordered pore diameter and surface area according to existing literature. The oily sludge sample was characterized by determining the API gravity and sulfur content and SARA analysis (saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes). The results showed a material equivalent to the average oil with API gravity of 26.1, a low sulfur content and considerable amount of resins and asphaltenes, presented above in the literature. The thermal and catalytic degradation of the oily sludge oil was performed from room temperature to 870 ° C in the ratios of heating of 5, 10 and 20 ° C min-1. The curves generated by TG / DTG showed a more accelerated degradation of oily sludge when it introduced the nanostructured materials. These results were confirmed by activation energy calculated by the method of Flynn-Wall, in the presence of catalysts reduced energy, in particular in the range of cracking, showing the process efficiency, mainly for extraction of lightweight materials of composition of oily sludge, such as diesel and gasoline

Many of these analyzes consuming a lot of time, large amount of samples , supplies and need an organized transportation logistics, schedule and professionals involved. Looking for alternatives that optimize the evaluation and enable the use of new technologies, seven samples of different centrifuged Brazilian oils previously characterized by Petrobras were analyzed by thermogravimetry in 25-900° C range using heating rates of 05, 10 and 20ºC per minute. With experimental data obtained, characterizations correlations were performed and provided: generation of true boiling point curves (TBP) simulated; comparing fractions generated with appropriate cut standard in temperature ranges; an approach to obtain Watson characterization factor; and compare micro carbon residue formed. The results showed a good chance of reproducing simulated TBP curve from thermogravimetry taking into account the composition, density and other oil properties. Proposed correlations for experimental characterization factor and carbon residue followed Petrobras characterizations, showing that thermogravimetry can be used as a tool on oil evaluation, because your quick analysis, accuracy, and requires a minimum number of samples and consumables

L’aumento del consumo di energia globale e le problematiche legate all’inquinamento stanno rendendo indispensabile lo spostamento verso fonti di energia rinnovabile. La digestione anaerobica rappresenta una possibile soluzione in quanto permette di produrre biogas da biomassa organica di scarto ma, l’ottimizzazione del processo risulta difficoltosa a causa delle numerose variabili chimiche, biologiche, fisiche e geometriche correlate. Nel presente elaborato, concentrandosi sulle problematiche relative alla miscelazione interna, è stata investigata la fluidodinamica interna di un reattore modello ottenuto tramite scale-down di un digestore anaerobico industriale che presentava problemi di sedimentazione di sostanza solida sul fondo del reattore. Tramite tecniche di diagnostica ottiche, è stato studiato il movimento del fluido, prima utilizzando acqua demineralizzata e poi una soluzione di gomma di xantano come fluido di processo, al fine di studiare il campo di moto medio interno al reattore. Le tecniche utilizzate sono la Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) e la Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF). Al fine di rendere il sistema investigato il più rappresentativo possibile del digestore industriale, è stato utilizzato come fluido di processo per alcune delle prove raccolte, una soluzione acquosa 1,0g/kg di gomma di xantano, le cui proprietà reologiche sono state investigate grazie ad un Reometro Anton Paar MCR 301.

Nell’industria chimica i processi di miscelazione hanno un impatto considerevole sulla maggior parte delle operazioni unitarie ed è, pertanto, di fondamentale importanza studiarne i meccanismi. Per tale motivo, durante questo lavoro di tesi sono stati investigati i regimi di miscelazione all’interno di reattori agitati meccanicamente, che contengono miscele bifase gas-liquido. In particolare, l’analisi è stata condotta su un fermentatore realizzato in scala di laboratorio in cui è stata installata una girante a pale concave che prende il nome di BT-6, con la tecnica sperimentale della tomografia a resistenza elettrica (ERT). L’obiettivo del presente elaborato consiste nell’esaminare la distribuzione della fase gassosa con l’utilizzo di suddetta tecnica all’interno del liquido, in quanto parametro chiave per la progettazione e la valutazione delle prestazioni di questo tipo di apparecchiature. Attraverso l’utilizzo della tomografia, si misura la distribuzione di conducibilità della sostanza da cui, mediante l’implementazione di un algoritmo, si risale alla frazione di gas dispersa in fase liquida. Infine, i vari regimi di miscelazione analizzati durante questo lavoro di tesi, sono stati confrontati con prove analoghe condotte in una precedente sperimentazione su una girante di tipo Rushton.

La miscelazione di sistemi gas-liquido all’interno di recipienti meccanicamente agitati ritrova molte applicazioni industriali. I recipienti meccanicamente agitati rappresentano la scelta più conveniente poiché consentono una dispersione ottimale della fase dispersa all’interno della fase continua ed uno scambio di materia e di calore efficiente. I parametri chiave sono il consumo di potenza, l’hold-up di gas ed il regime gas-impeller. La fase sperimentale è stata sviluppata mediante l’utilizzo di un reattore pilota operante con tre turbine Rushton. Il consumo di potenza è stato valutato ed i risultati ottenuti dalle analisi di laboratorio sono stati confrontati con la correlazione empirica di Warmoeskerken (1986). Le tecniche impiegate in passato per la caratterizzazione dei sistemi gas-liquido sono caratterizzate da diversi svantaggi quali la possibilità di essere utilizzate solo per lo studio di sistemi trasparenti, l’intrusività ed i costi alti. Attualmente, la tomografia a resistenza elettrica (ERT) è una delle tecniche di ispezione più utilizzate grazie alla sua potenzialità di fornire informazioni qualitative e quantitativi. Uno degli obiettivi di questo lavoro di tesi è quello di validare una metodologia da seguire per la caratterizzazione dei sistemi gas-liquido. L’ERT è stata utilizzata per la valutazione dell’hold-up di gas e per l’identificazione del regime instaurato all’interno dell’apparecchiatura. I risultati sono stati confrontati con le valutazioni visive e le correlazioni proposte dalla letteratura. La strumentazione dell’ERT comprende un sistema di sensori, un sistema di acquisizione dati (DAS) ed un computer sul quale è installato il software per la ricostruzione dell’immagine, il quale, generalmente, è basato sull’algoritmo linear back - projection. Ulteriore obiettivo di questo lavoro di tesi è quello di investigare sulla convenienza di adoperare un software più sofisticato per la ricostruzione dell’immagine.

Mixing is a fundamental unit operation in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure consistent product quality across different batches. It is usually carried out in mechanically stirred tanks, with a large variety of designs according to the process requirements. A key aspect of pharmaceutical manufacturing is the extensive and meticulous cleaning of the vessels between runs to prevent the risk of contamination. Single-use reactors represent an increasing trend in the industry since they do not require cleaning and sterilization, reducing the need for utilities such as steam to sterilize equipment and the time between production batches. In contrast to traditional stainless steel vessels, single-use reactors consist of a plastic bag used as a vessel and disposed of after use. This thesis aims to characterize the fluid dynamics features and the mixing performance of a commercially available single-use reactor. The characterization employs a combination of various experimental techniques. The analysis starts with the visual observation of the liquid behavior inside the vessel, focusing on the vortex shape evolution at different impeller speeds. The power consumption is then measured using a torque meter to quantify the power number. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is employed to investigate local fluid dynamics properties such as mean flow field and mean and rms velocity profiles. The same experimental setup of PIV is exploited for another optical measurement technique, the Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF). The PLIF measurements complete the characterization of the reactor with the qualitative visualization of the turbulent flow and the quantitative assessment of the system performance through the mixing time. The results confirm good mixing performances for the single-use reactor over the investigated impeller speeds and reveal that the filling volume plays a significant role in the fluid dynamics of the system.
