(Centro de Informacion Tecnologica, 2016-01-01) Ojeda, J.C.; GilPavas, E.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez, M.A.; Ojeda, J.C.; GilPavas, E.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez, M.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
In this work, parametric sensitivity and dynamic analysis were combined to determine the thermal instability conditions inherent in the methyl isocyanate hydrolysis reaction. This highly exothermic reaction tragically proved to be very sensible to temperature changes in the so-called Bhopal disaster in 1984. A stirred tank reactor in transient state was considered for simulating the reactive system. First, critical operational conditions were defined from the parametric sensitivity analysis. Subsequently, in a rigorous way, the dynamic analysis determined the thermal instability regions, Hopf bifurcations, and the thermal oscillatory behavior of the reactive system. The Matcont® software was used to solve the differential equations set. It was demonstrated that runaway conditions and the periodic solutions of temperature are closely related with the cooling temperature and the dimensionless parameters (f-dimensionless flow and l-heat transfer term) and their critical parameters were obtained: /c=752.39 and fc=1.57.

(IWA PUBLISHING, 2012-01-01) GilPavas, Edison; Dobrosz-Gomez, Izabela; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; GilPavas, Edison; Dobrosz-Gomez, Izabela; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was applied as a tool for the optimization of the operational conditions of the photo-degradation of highly concentrated PY12 wastewater, resulting from a textile industry located in the suburbs of Medellin (Colombia). The Box-Behnken experimental Design (BBD) was chosen for the purpose of response optimization. The photo-Fenton process was carried out in a laboratory-scale batch photo-reactor. A multifactorial experimental design was proposed, including the following variables: the initial dyestuff concentration, the H(2)O(2) and the Fe(+2) concentrations, as well as the UV wavelength radiation. The photo-Fenton process performed at the optimized conditions resulted in ca. 100% of dyestuff decolorization, 92% of COD and 82% of TOC degradation. A kinetic study was accomplished, including the identification of some intermediate compounds generated during the oxidation process. The water biodegradability reached a final DBO(5)/DQO = 0.86 value.
Degradación y mineralización de tartrazina mediante electrooxidación. Optimización de las condiciones de operación
(Centro de Informacion Tecnologica, 2014-01-01) Gilpavas, E.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez-García, M.Á.; Gilpavas, E.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez-García, M.Á.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
In this work, the operational conditions of the tartrazine electro-oxidation (EO) process were optimized. The batch reactor used has two electrodes: one made of diamond doped with boron and the other one of titanium, working at monopolar configuration. The initial dyestuff concentration (Ci), the current density (i) and the pH were defined as the main factors affecting the EO. Their optimal values were found as follows: Ci=30 ppm, i=5mA/cm2 and pH=6.0. At these conditions, a kinetic analysis was performed in the terms of: the percentage of the dyestuff decolorization (%DC), the percentage of the chemical oxygen demand (%DCOD), and the percentage of the total organic carbon (%TOC). Additionally, the effect of Fe2+ (electro- Fenton process, EF) and Fe2+/UV radiation (electro-photo-Fenton process, EFF) on the studied process were evaluated. The work demonstrates the validity of the hypothesis about the most significant parameters that affect the EO process.
Efficient treatment for textile wastewater through sequential electrocoagulation, electrochemical oxidation and adsorption processes: Optimization and toxicity assessment
(Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) GilPavas E.; Dobrosz-Gómez I.; Gómez-García M.-Á.; GilPavas E.; Dobrosz-Gómez I.; Gómez-García M.-Á.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
In this work, the sequential Electrocoagulation + Electro-oxidation + Activated carbon adsorption (EC + EO + AC) process was studied as an alternative for the treatment of an industrial textile wastewater (TWW) issuing from a manufacturing company located in Medellín (Colombia). The EC's and EO's operational conditions were optimized using a Box-Behnken experimental design, the Response Surface Methodology and a constrained nonlinear optimization algorithm in terms of organic matter degradation efficiency. The best performance for EC (i. e., dye removal = 94%, COD and TOC degradation of 45 and 40%, respectively) was obtained using Fe anode and Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) cathode, with current density, jEC, equals to 5 mA/cm2, pH = 9.3, 60 RPM and 10 min of electrolysis. After EC treatment, the effluent biodegradability (evaluated as the BOD5/COD ratio) increases from 0.14 to 0.23. Regrettably, EC was not effective for the removal of acute toxicity to Artemia salina since the treated effluent remained very toxic (100%). The treatment of EC's effluent by EO enhanced organic pollutant removal. For EC + EO sequential process, EO optimal operational conditions (jEO = 10 mA/cm2, pH = 3, 240 RPM, BDD as anode and Fe as cathode) allowed reduction of 100% of color, 88% of COD and 79% of TOC after 30 min of electrolysis. Moreover, the BOD5/COD ratio increased from 0.23 to 0.58; however, the treated effluent remained very toxic to the Artemia salina. Consequently, an activated carbon adsorption step was included to complete the treatment process. Thus, by coupling the EC + EO + AC process, effluent's acute toxicity decreased completely. From molecular weight distribution analysis, it was concluded that EC + EO was efficient in eliminating low molecular weight (< 5 kDa) compounds. Finally, the operation cost, which includes chemical reagents, electrodes, energy consumption, and sludge disposal, for the EC + EO + AC sequential process was estimated in 3.83 USD /m3. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

(Centro de Informacion Tecnologica, 2014-01-01) López-Zamora, S.M.; GilPavas, E.; Gómez-García, M.Á.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; López-Zamora, S.M.; GilPavas, E.; Gómez-García, M.Á.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
In this work, the response surface methodology was applied as a tool for the optimization of the operational conditions of phenol photo-degradation over TiO2 and 2% wt Mo/TiO2 catalysts. A multifactorial experimental design was proposed, including the following variables: phenol initial concentration (Ci), catalyst loading (Cat) and pH. The apparent reaction rate constant and the percentage of phenol degradation were chosen as the response variables. When TiO2 was used as catalyst, the following optimal operational conditions were found: Ci=10ppm, Cat=0.7g/L and pH=8 for both UV and visible light. For 2% wt Mo/TiO2 catalyst, the optimal operating conditions strongly depended on the applied radiation source. Thus, under UV radiation: Ci=10 ppm, Cat=0.7 g/L and pH=8 were found as the optimum conditions. Using visible light, and the following optimized conditions, Ci=10 ppm, Cat=0.1 g/L, pH =3.6, the Mo containing catalyst showed to be the most efficient. Under these conditions, the amount of 2% wt. Mo/TiO2 was 7 times lower than that of unsupported TiO2.

(2008-01-01) Valencia, R.A.; Ramírez, J.A.; Gutiérrez, L.B.; García, M.J.; Valencia, R.A.; Ramírez, J.A.; Gutiérrez, L.B.; García, M.J.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecánica Aplicada
This article presents theoretical and computational studies with Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) tools of an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), required to obtain reliable visual information, used for surveillance and maintenance of ship shells and underwater structures of Colombian port facilities. The thrust force is analyzed at the operational conditions by using CFD tools (FLUENT™, CFX™, COSMOSFLOW™) and the information about forces, torques and power of the vehicle's thrusters is obtained. The commercial propellers were modeled by using a reverse engineering process with a 3D scanner and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software (RAPIDFORM™). The results obtained with the CFD package allowed to evaluate several operating scenarios of the vehicle that are used for feedback purposes in the design process of the ROV before it be manufactured.

Región de Inestabilidad y Optimización de las Condiciones de Producción de Metanol en un Reactor Lurgi
(Centro de Informacion Tecnologica, 2016-01-01) Gómez, M.Á.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gilpavas, E.; Gómez, M.Á.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gilpavas, E.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
In the present work, the operational conditions for methanol synthesis in a Lurgi reactor are analyzed. The industrial data for a packed reactor (consisting of 1620 tubes of 7 m long) are the basis of this study. At first, the industrial reactor is simulated achieving excellent agreement with plant data. Then, the instability region is defined as a boundary in the conversion-temperature diagram and defines the conditions that must be avoided during reactor operation. The optimization of the operational conditions is performed based on the optimal temperature progression from the iso-reaction rate curves. Finally, it was found that the cooling fluid must be at 230 °C and that the heat transfer coefficient must guarantee a value of 118 J/(s.K.m2).

(SPRINGER, 2014-12-01) GilPavas, Edison; Medina, Jose; Dobrosz-Gomez, Izabela; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; GilPavas, Edison; Medina, Jose; Dobrosz-Gomez, Izabela; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
In this work, the Box–Behnken experimental design and the surface response methodology were applied for the optimization of the operational conditions of the electro-catalytic degradation of wastewaters, resulting from a local textile industry. The experiments were carried out in a laboratory scale batch cell reactor, with monopolar configuration, and electrodes made of boron-doped diamond (anode) and titanium (cathode). The multifactorial experimental design included the following variables: current density (i: 5–10 ?mA/cm2), pH (3–7), and submerged cathode area (CA: 8–24 ?cm2). To determine the process efficiency, the degradation percentage of: the chemical oxygen demand (%DCOD), the total organic carbon (%DTOC) and the color (%DC) were defined as response variables. The following optimal conditions for the electro-oxidation (EO) process were obtained: i ?= ?10 ?mA/cm2, pH = 3 and CA ?= ?16 ?cm2, reaching ca. 92 ?% of DC, 37 ?% of DCOD and 31 ?% of DTOC. The electro-Fenton (EF) and photo-electro-Fenton (PEF) processes were also evaluated at EO optimal conditions. For the EF process, with addition of iron (0.3 ?mM), the %DC, %DCOD and %DTOC was enhanced to 95, 52 and 45 ?%, respectively. For the PEF process (UV ?= ?365 ?nm), it was possible to reach 98 ?%DC, 56 ?%DCOD and 48 ?%DTOC. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
