Modelling of Carbon Dioxide Venting in Carbon Capture and Storage Studies: Design and Safety Implications
Authors: Merino Gómez Elena
Published: December 2023

The reduction of the impact of carbon dioxide on the environment is a key driver of the energy transition, which will progressively reduce the use of fossil fuels and will promote the development of viable technologies. This process will be based on renewable energy sources to reduce, to any possible extent, the production and the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) projects are more and more an ineludible stage of this process. In the last decade, a significant segment of chemical engineering research has been devoted to the management of carbon dioxide release scenarios, which can result both from an accidental loss of containment or from an emergency venting of carbon dioxide streams. This gas is asphyxiating and toxic, depending on concentration levels. Consequently, acquiring familiarity with its dispersion modelling is a key task for process and process safety engineers. On the other hand, carbon dioxide presents a very peculiar behaviour, as it is a dense gas and, below the triple point, its release can produce solid formation. The article presents a relatively simple multi-stage validated model, covering the release scenario from the source, as a heavy gas, up to the neutral Gaussian dispersion, considering also the very low temperatures possibly resulting from the JT (Joule Thomson) effect. Two case studies, carried out through the Megaris Platform, illustrate the application of the methodology. It can be useful in the design phase and in the QRA studies, to properly size and locate the venting stack and to minimize any health upsets for the operators

Authors: Pham Van My , Hoang Huy Truong , Phan Thanh Hang
Published: December 2023

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its impact on bone health remains understudied. Methods: We collected data from CKD patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m², including clinical information, 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements using DEXA between August 2020 and August 2021. Results: In a cohort of 96 patients, 63 (65.6%) were female, mean age was 62.3 ± 10.4 years, mean BMI was 22.8 ± 3.4 kg/m², and mean eGFR was 10.1 ± 7.3 ml/min. CKD staging included 13 (13.5%) in stage 3, 19 (19.8%) in stage 4, and 64 (66.7%) in stage 5, with or without dialysis. Mean serum vitamin D level was 21.3 ± 12.6 ng/ml. Hypovitaminosis D was prevalent in 74 (77.1%) cases, categorized as slight reduction in 19 (25.7%), moderate reduction in 33 (44.6%), and severe reduction in 22 (29.7%). Mean BMD at femoral neck was 0.725 ± 0.157 g/cm², and at lumbar spine, it was 0.873 ± 0.201 g/cm². Osteopenia and osteoporosis were found in 43 (44.8%) and 19 (19.8%) patients, respectively, at the femoral neck, and in 39 (40.6%) and 17 (17.7%) patients, respectively, at the lumbar spine. Statistically significant associations were observed between serum vitamin D levels and BMD at both sites: femoral neck (regression coefficient: 3.3 x 10-3, coefficient of determination: 0.09) and lumbar spine (regression coefficient: 5.1 x 10-3, coefficient of determination: 0.063). Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency was common in CKD patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m², and a modest but statistically significant association exists between serum vitamin D levels and BMD at both the femoral neck and lumbar spine

The article presents the results of computer thermodynamic modeling and experiments on the production of ferroalloys of the production of ferroalloys from a mixture of tailings for sulfuric acid leaching of oxidized copper ores from the Almaly, Ayak-Kodzhan, Aktogay, Kounrad, Shatyrkol deposits, containing (%): 65.2SiO2; 14.2Al2O3; 7.4Fe2O3; 2.4K2O; 2.7Na2O; 6.6CаO; 2.8MgO; 0.2CuO. The simulations were carried out using the HSC-6.0 software package based on the Gibbs minimum energy principle, as well as the research planning method using a rotatable second-order plan (the Box-Hunter plan). Experiments on melting a mixture of tailings were carried out on the Tamma furnace in isothermal mode. The influence of temperature and the amount of carbon on the equilibrium degree of distribution of silicon, aluminum and the concentration of these metals in the alloy was determined. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the equilibrium interaction of a mixture of heap leaching tailings of copper ores with carbon and iron occurs with the formation of FeSi, FeSi2, FeSi2.33, Fe5Si3, FeSi2.43, Fe3Si, Si, SiO2, Al, SiC, CaSiO3, Al2SiO5, MgSiO3, K2SiO3, Na2SiO3, Cu, CO. An increase in iron from 30 to 50% of the mass of the mixture of leaching tailings and temperatures from 1600 to 2000ºС increases the degree of extraction into the silicon alloy to 83.2%, and reduces the concentration of silicon in it from 40-41.41% (at 1800ºC) to 30-31%, aluminum at 2100ºС from 8.3% to 5.5%. Ferrosilicon of the FeSi45 brand with the extraction of 74-81.9% Si from it is formed at 1780-1910ºС, 30% iron and 34% carbon, and the FeSi25 brand with the extraction of 70-76% Si into it is formed in the temperature range of 1660-1730ºС in the presence of 43.5-50% iron. Determines the influence of temperature 1000-2100ºС and iron. To achieve high (≥80%) silicon in the alloy, a temperature of at least 1800ºС and an 80-minute duration of the process are required.

Currently, the problem of sustainable increase in the production of gallium metal to ensure its use in high-tech areas - power semiconductor electronics, energy-saving LEDs, etc. is very urgent. In world practice, electrolysis on a mercury cathode or cementation with sodium amalgam was used to extract gallium from alkaline solutions. However, this technology is not currently used due to the high toxicity of mercury. Cementation and electrocarburization on aluminum galley are widely used for purified solutions. A promising method for obtaining gallium metal from alkaline solutions is electrolysis on a solid rotating gallium cathode, the surface of which is constantly renewed with liquid gallium. To increase the efficiency of electrolysis, studies of the process of gallium electroreduction with the application of non-stationary (pulsating and reversing) currents were carried out. The use of non-stationary currents makes it possible to increase gallium extraction by 8.4-10.4% and reduce electricity consumption by 62-68 kWh/kg Ga. The positive effect of the use of non-stationary currents can be explained by the fact that periodic switching off the current or reversing the electrodes in the found optimal modes leads to a periodic change in the surface tension of the gallium cathode, as a result of which the gallium surface and the adjacаent electrolyte layer pulsate, the thickness of the diffusion layer decreases and conditions for the separation of adsorbed gas bubbles are improved. This accelerates the diffusion of gallate ions from the bulk of the solution into the near-cathode layer. The use of non-stationary currents makes it possible to dissolve the gallium oxide film on the cathode surface, i.e. depassurate the electrode surface.

The paper deals with analysis and findings of investigation of technogenic plumbum-zinc slag residuals that involve a great deal of poisonous compounds such as cadmium, osmium, plumbum, zinc, hazardous origins of environmental contamination. In connection with the outdoor storing of slags, an excess of the plumbum critical concentration was derived. Technogenic slag residuals’ reclamation is crucial for minimizing the detrimental effect on health and safety, improving the region’s ecological setting. At that, slags are high-value crude materials involving rare-earth and non-ferrous metal compunds. The paper demonstrates the findings of laboratory tests of slags to specify the quantitative and qualitative composition of high-value components in the plumbum residuals, the ability of their subsequent treatment and reclamation. The heavy slag fraction material was investigated on JEOL IXA-8230 Electron Probe microanalyzer. The running slag sample’s X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out on DRON-4 diffractometer with graphite monochromator, Cu radiation. Heavy fractions were separated from the samples, artifactural polished microsections (briquets) were made. The polished microsections were investigated in index-matching fluids and under LEICA DM 2500P microscope. The findings identified that plumbum slags involve a considerable body of non-ferrous metal compounds, which allow to make the reclamation of poisonous plumbum residuals functional and cost-effective.

Abstract. Understanding the composition and sources of atmospheric ultrafine particles (UFPs) is essential in evaluating their exposure risks. It requires long-term measurements with high time resolution, which are scarce to date. We performed near-continuous measurements of UFP composition during four seasons in urban Beijing using a thermal desorption chemical ionization mass spectrometer, accompanied by real-time size distribution measurements. We found that UFPs in urban Beijing are dominated by organic components, varying seasonally from 68 % to 81 %. CHO organics (i.e., molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) are the most abundant in summer, while sulfur-containing organics, some nitrogen-containing organics, nitrate, and chloride are the most abundant in winter. With the increase of particle diameter, the contribution of CHO organics decreases, while that of sulfur-containing and nitrogen-containing organics, nitrate, and chloride increases. Source apportionment analysis of the UFP organics indicates contributions from cooking and vehicle sources, photooxidation sources enriched in CHO organics, and aqueous/heterogeneous sources enriched in nitrogen- and sulfur-containing organics. The increased contributions of cooking, vehicle, and photooxidation components are usually accompanied by simultaneous increases in UFP number concentrations related to cooking emission, vehicle emission, and new particle formation, respectively, while the increased contribution of the aqueous/heterogeneous composition is usually accompanied by the growth of UFP mode diameters. The highest UFP number concentrations in winter are due to the strongest new particle formation, the strongest local primary particle number emissions, and the slowest condensational growth of UFPs to larger sizes. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of urban UFP composition and sources and offers valuable datasets for the evaluation of UFP exposure risks.

Authors: Brenner Carsten , Surkamp Nils , Hofmann Martin Rudolf
Published: December 2023

Abstract. THz generation by difference frequency generation can be accomplished by many different laser systems. The most cost efficient and compact solution will be monolithic dual-colour lasers. Application of these lasers in THz metrology can suffer from several drawbacks like coupling between the modes, strong amplitude variations, low tuning capabilities, or a complicated growth process. We discuss the impact of these points for THz measurements and present a simple monolithic dual colour laser which can be used for material characterisations.

Se implementó: vigilancia de colonización e infección por enterobacterias productoras de carbapenemasas (EPC); vigilancia y medidas preventivas para infecciones urinarias asociadas a sonda vesical (ITU); vigilancia e intervenciones para mejorar la higiene de manos; guías locales de tratamiento de enfermedades infecciosas con evaluación de adherencia a las mismas y consumo de antibióticos (ATB). 

Resultados: comparando periodo pre y postintervención: tasa de EPC en muestras clínicas: 1,1 a 0/días paciente; razón de tasas de incidencia (IRR: 0.00, p: 0.033); tasa de colonización: 3,3 a 0,61/días paciente (IRR: 0.18, p: 0.5). Tasa de ITU 8,9 a 7,2/1000 días catéter urinario (IRR: 0.81, p 0.5). Adherencia a higiene de manos: 77,5% a 70,38% (p 0.0067). Consumo de ATB: 376,24 a 176,82 DDD, (disminución 53%). Adherencia a guías en elección de ATB: 57,1% a 95,4% (p 0.00031); duración de ATB: 92,8% a 98,4% (p 0.16); adecuación según rescate microbiológico:57,1% a 100% (p <0.01).

Conclusión: un programa con medidas simples, a medida, con supervisión externa, redujo en un tiempo relativamente corto las infecciones por EPC, el consumo y uso apropiado de ATB en un hospital público de medianos/bajos recursos.

Septic nosocomial infections are a major public health issue. Both the risk of contracting and the specificity of nosocomial pathology directly depend upon the type of inpatient settings, as well as on the institution-specific risk factors. Material and methods: The study used a descriptive observation method based on a cross-sectional study. The present research documented and analysed retrospectively 687 follow-up records of patients admitted to different intensive care units. Results: The study results found that the incidence of septic nosocomial infection within various intensive care units (ICU) differs, ranging between 24.68% up to 34.8%. The structure of nosological forms was dominated by severe infections as pneumonia – 50.7%, septicemia – 12.68%, surgical site infections – 12.60%, urinary tract infections – 8.45%. The polyetiological structure of pathogens varied depending on the types of ICU. Microorganisms of the genus Staphylococcus, Acinetobacter, Clebsiella, Pseudomonas and Enterobacter predominated in most gram-negative (87.25%) cases, being multidrug resistant to antibiotics. The following risk factors for the development of nosocomial septic infections were identified: the widespread use of invasive devices in the treatment process, patient’s comorbidities, polytraumas, vasopressors administration, the length of hospital stay within the ICU, etc. The clinical and economic effect is also important; hence the hospital stay length of patients with nosocomial infections was 2.2-2.5 times, the hospital stay cost per patient was 4.56 times, and the mortality rate was 4.55-8.43 higher compared to patients with no purulent nosocomial infections. Conclusions: Septic nosocomial infections are an urgent issue for ICU admission, which requires the implementation of comprehensive programs to prevent morbidity and reduce microbial antibiotic resistance.

Background: Pain is frequent in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and has a great impact on life quality. The aim of the study was to establish the presence of the pain in a cohort of PD patients. Material and methods: Study sample consisted of 102 consecutive PD patients, (mean age 61.51 ± 8.87 y.o.; disease duration 65.78 ± 41.34 mo.; 55 women and 47 men) evaluated for pain presence and divided into groups with and without pain: “PD pain +” and “PD pain -“ Results: The groups were similar according to ages (61.02 ± 9.61 vs. 62.51 ± 7.69 y.o.) and levodopa dose (729.85 ± 483.29 vs. 708.31 ± 357.50). Pain was present in 64 patients (62.7%) of all study group; more frequent in women (56.3% vs. 43.8%, p> 0.05), with motor fluctuations (72.4% vs. 27.6%, p> 0.05), with dyskinesia (64.0 % vs. 36.0%, p> 0.05) and restless leg syndrome patients (72.7% vs. 27.3%, p> 0.05). Akinetic-Rigid (0.83 ± 0.80 vs. 0.64 ± 0.56, p> 0.05), and quality of life scores (59.70 ± 25.46 vs. 53.84 ±35.76, p> 0.05) were insignificantly higher in “BP pain + “patients. They had longer disease duration (74.19 ± 39.99 y.o. vs 53.29 ± 41.06 y.o. p=0.017), higher depression (16.36 ± 11.97 vs. 8.09 ± 6.42, p=0.000), psychological (10.28 ±6.20 vs. 4.77 ± 2.82, p=0.000) and non-motor symptoms (66.27 ±39.25 vs. 46.68 ± 32.56, p=0.015) scores. Conclusions: Pain is common in PD, especially in long disease associated with motor complications, depression and other non-motor symptoms.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a serious disease that affects premature infants and still represents the leading cause of blindness worldwide that can be prevented if detected earlier in time. Material and methods: The ROP prospective observational study was performed enrolling all premature infants admitted to the Intensive Neonatal Care (INC) and Premature Care Unit from January 2020 to December 2021 with the gestational age (GA) of 32 weeks and less at birth and body weight (BW) of 2000 g and less. A total of 98 premature infants had retinal evaluation by indirect ophthalmoscopy starting with the five postpartum weeks followed every 7-10 days until 38 weeks and then every 2 weeks until 42-45 weeks. The severity of ROP was graded according to the International classification of ROP. The effects of GA and BW on the prevalence and severity on ROP were evaluated. Results: Out of studied 98 infants, 36 patients (36.7 %) developed ROP stage 1 and 2, in one or both eyes, 3 (3.07%) infants developed stage 3. Out of these 3 premature infants with stage 3, one underwent avastin intravitreal injection with successful regression, 2 patients underwent laser photocoagulation treatment successfully. Conclusions: The prevalence of ROP in this unit-based study was 36 patients (36.7 %). The most important risk factors: Low gestational age, and low body weight. Lower gestational age and body weight was a risk factor, as the greatest number (76%) 20 infants out of 26 with GA ≤ 29 weeks and BW ≤1000g developed ROP stage 1 and stage 2; 3.06% (3 infants) developed stage 3. Very important in preventing ROP vision loss, screening all infants at risk regardless of GA and BW as well as the duration of staying in INC represents the greatest priority.
