Despite the importance of laminar solid-liquid mixing operations in industry for the production of various goods such as pastes, greases, paints, pharmaceuticals and food products, a large proportion of the reported results in this field has been obtained in the turbulent regime. The intrinsic multiscale nature of solid-liquid flows in stirred tanks and the complexity arising from both the geometry of the impeller and the rheology of such suspensions, particularly in the case of high solids contents, create complex flow patterns within the tank, which may drastically affect both the yield and the quality of the desired product. Furthermore, the estimation of key mixing parameters such as the impeller torque, the just-suspension speed (Njs) and the cloud height remains unclear in all flow regimes. In particular, the Zwietering correlation has several limitations that may lead to poor predictions of Njs. Therefore, more modeling and experimental work is needed in order to shed light on these issues. A variety of models have been developed to simulate solid-liquid flows. These include the classical Eulerian-Eulerian (or two-fluid) model and the combination of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for the particles and CFD methods for the liquid (CFD-DEM). Despite their relative advantages and drawbacks, which will be briefly discussed during this talk, we believe that the CFD-DEM approach can be both efficient and accurate for the simulation of such flows. The objective of this work is then to introduce a multiscale CFD-DEM model, applicable to concentrated suspensions, wherein the particles are not resolved explicitly on the CFD grid but taken into account through the so-called volume-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. This entails projecting the particles onto the grid so that the solid-liquid momentum transfer term appearing in these equations, such as the drag force exerted by the particles on the liquid, can be locally evaluated. After describing the proposed model in detail, simulation results obtained with it for the laminar mixing of concentrated solid-liquid suspensions in stirred tanks will be presented.

Influence of alcohols on citric acid production by Aspergillus niger A-9 entrapped in polyacrylamide gels
Yaykasli, KO; Demirel, G; Yasar, A (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-01)
In this study, the production of citric acid has been achieved by using Aspergillus niger conidiaspores, entrapped in polyacrylamide gels, and the factors that affect this production have been investigated. On citric acid production the effect of starting sucrose concentration (100-180 g/l), the initial nitrogen concentration (0-0.3 g/l), the effect of the methanol concentration in 100ml feeding medium (0-6 ml), and finally the effect of ethanol concentration (0-6 ml) in 100 ml feeding medium were studied a...
Reactive extraction of pyruvic acid from aqueous single and mixed acid solutions
Martı, Mustafa Esen; Gürkan, Türker; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
Interest in recovery of carboxylic acids from their aqueous solutions and production media has been growing with the improvements in the production techniques. Reactive extraction is proposed as a promising method to achieve high distribution coefficients with good selectivity. In the present study, equilibrium and kinetic studies, needed for the design of a recovery unit were carried out. Reactive extraction of pyruvic, acetic and lactic acids from their single and mixed acid solutions were carried out wit...
Preparation of ZIF-8 loaded PVA and PES mixed matrix membranes for dehydration of ethanol solutions
Şenyurt, Elif İrem; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Yılmaz, Levent; Department of Chemical Engineering (2015)
Solvent recovery is an important issue in chemical industry when low product cost is desired and also environmental concerns are considered. The conventional methods for solvent recovery are extractive distillation, adsorption, extraction and absorption. However, these methods require excessive amount of energy, cause product contamination due to additional components and need harsh conditions. Pervaporation separation is independent of the vapor-liquid equilibrium; therefore, it is a suitable technique esp...
USE OF BORIC ACID AS A BINDER FOR BRIQUETTING SOME BORON MINE WASTES AND THEIR CALCINED PRODUCTS
ŞENER, SAVAŞ; ÖZBAYOĞLU, GÜLHAN; Ozdemir, Zeynep (2010-01-01)
In this study, boric acid as a binder for briquetting some boron mine wastes, such as colemanite and ulexite fines and calcined products, which do not meet the market specifications with respect to particle size, were investigated. Effects of water and binder contents, applied pressure, and curing and drying conditions on the briquette quality were evaluated in terms of mechanical strength, water-proofing characteristics and wearing resistance. The best briquettes were obtained at 62.4 MPa pressure (cured a...
Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from tomato: Characterization by FTIR and HPLC and comparison with conventional solvent extraction
Baltacıoğlu, Hande; Baltacıoğlu, Cem; Okur, İlhami; Tanrıvermiş, Arif; Yalıç, Muharrem (Elsevier BV, 2021-03-01)
© 2021 Elsevier B.V.In the extraction of phenolic compounds from tomato, Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) was used as a novel technology in this study and compared to conventional solvent extraction (CSE). The optimal extraction conditions for tomato were determined using the multi-level factorial design. For this purpose, different powers (360, 600 and 900 W) and times (30, 60 and 90 s) were used for MAE and also different temperatures (40, 50 and 60 °C) and times (10, 20 and 30 min) were used for CSE. ...
