This seminar report discusses improving electricity production using an insert-type air-cathode microbial fuel cell (ITAC-MFC) with sewage sludge. The report presents results of an experiment where maintaining the sludge pH at 10.0 in the ITAC-MFC led to a maximum power density of 73 mW/m2, higher electricity production than at pH 8.0 or 6.0. A higher soluble chemical oxygen demand and total chemical oxygen demand removal and coulombic efficiency were also achieved at pH 10.0, demonstrating improved organic matter degradation. The ITAC-MFC provides an environmentally friendly alternative for treating sewage sludge compared to other MFC designs.
Urea fertilizer
Urea is a nitrogen-rich fertilizer produced from ammonia and carbon dioxide. It exists as white crystalline prills or granules and contains 46% nitrogen. Urea is synthesized through a two-stage reaction where ammonium carbamate is first formed and then dehydrated to melt urea. The process occurs in a tower reactor at high pressure and temperature. The molten urea is then prilled or granulated and dried. Urea fertilizer is widely used due to its high nitrogen content and low production cost, though it can decompose rapidly if not packaged properly.
ASTM D19 Method Validation Procedures
This document outlines the standard procedure for validating new analytical test methods according to ASTM International (ASTM). The validation process involves 5 phases: design, development, validation, evaluation, and conclusion. During the validation phase, studies are conducted to establish selectivity, calibration, repeatability, bias, and ruggedness. An inter-laboratory study with multiple matrices is also required before a new method can be approved. The document provides an example validation study conducted for a new ASTM nitrate-nitrite test method according to these procedures.
Urea manufacturing process
The document describes the process for manufacturing urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide. There are six main steps: (1) hydrogen and ammonia production via the Haber process, (2) carbon dioxide removal from the gas stream, (3) shift conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, (4) synthesis of ammonia, (5) reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide to form urea, and (6) concentration and granulation of the urea product. Heat recovery and recycling of water and carbon dioxide are used to improve the efficiency and economics of the process.
BIO3.2 Biodiesel Fuel Quality
The document provides an overview of a training course on biodiesel fuel quality presented by the National Biodiesel Board. It discusses key diesel and biodiesel fuel properties, ASTM standards for biodiesel including D6751 and D975, the BQ-9000 quality program, factors that affect fuel quality such as contaminants, and results from various surveys of biodiesel fuel quality. The goal is to educate people on ensuring high quality biodiesel production and use.
Manufacturing nitric acid by ostwald process
Nitric acid is a colourless liquid most commonly manufactured by Ostwald process which converts ammonia to nitric acid, nitric acid used for fertilizers, dye intermediates, explosives
Chemical refining of crude palm oil
The three step chemical refining process of crude palm oil removes different compounds at each stage. In degumming, phosphatide gums are removed. Alkali neutralization removes soapstock and splits free fatty acids from soapstock. Bleaching and filtration then removes residual color using bleaching agents. Finally, deodorization removes odor compounds and peroxides to produce a bland, refined palm oil.

Nitric acid
This document discusses the usage of nitric acid, the pollution it causes, and ways to prevent that pollution. Nitric acid is used widely in industries like fertilizer production, food processing, and gold purification. It pollutes the air through nitrogen oxide emissions which cause acid rain, and water through discharge of waste products. Prevention efforts include installing pollution control devices, refining waste before discharge, using cleaner fuels, and increasing tree planting.

This document provides an overview of topics related to petroleum refining, including: the composition of crude oil and petroleum products; fractionation and analysis of crude oils; characterization of crude oils and fractions; methods for calculating hydrocarbon properties; characteristics of petroleum products for energy and non-energy uses; standards and specifications for products; evaluation of crude oils; refining activities for motor fuels and lubricants; and an introduction to refining processes. It includes appendices on pure component characteristics and standard test methods.
Oil refinery(degumming process)
The document discusses the degumming process in oil refining. It aims to remove undesirable components like phosphatides and gums from crude oil. There are three main types of degumming processes:
1) Water degumming involves adding water to crude oil to hydrate gums and phosphatides, which are then separated.
2) Acid degumming uses acid to convert non-hydratable phosphatides into hydratable forms that can be removed. It is done dry or wet with added water.
3) Enzymatic degumming uses enzymes like phospholipase to convert non-hydratable phosphatides into hydratable ones that can then be mechanically separated from the
DESIGN PROJECT 2013
This document provides a design for a plant to produce 400,000 metric tonnes of nitric acid per year using the Ostwald process. It selects a single pressure process as most advantageous after considering several factors such as efficient energy management. The process involves vaporizing ammonia at 1000 kPa and 35°C using process heat, then superheating it to 80°C with steam before mixing it with compressed air in a converter reactor over a platinum catalyst to produce nitrogen oxides, which are then absorbed in water to form the nitric acid product. The plant is estimated to cost ₦5.41 billion with a 26.25% return on investment and a 3 year, 7 month payback period, making the project technically
Project report
This document discusses natural gas production and transportation. It notes that water must be removed from natural gas before pipeline transport to prevent hydrate formation and corrosion. Hydrates form below 0°C and high pressures and can plug pipelines. The document then discusses various gas dehydration methods, focusing on absorption using triethylene glycol (TEG). It provides background on the thermodynamics and process design of TEG dehydration systems. The goal of the project is to model a TEG dehydration unit and regeneration section in HYSYS to investigate system performance under different conditions.
Oil refinery processes
This document provides a brief overview of oil refinery processes, including historical events and descriptions of key unit operations like crude distillation, vacuum distillation, fluid/delayed coking, fluid catalytic cracking, alkylation, and hydrotreating. Process schematics and typical yields are shown for each unit operation.

Presentation Nitric Acid
Nitric acid is a strong acid that is colorless as a pure liquid but commercial samples may appear yellowish. It is highly corrosive and a strong oxidizer. Nitric acid is produced industrially via the Ostwald process, which involves ammonia oxidation over a platinum catalyst in three steps: primary oxidation to nitric oxide, secondary oxidation to nitrogen dioxide, and absorption of nitrogen dioxide in water to form nitric acid. Nitric acid has many industrial and laboratory uses including fertilizer and explosive production.
