Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Mechanistic Model Development and Application over a Cu-CHA Catalyst
DownloadFall 2018
Mechanistic proposals for the different selective catalytic reduction (SCR) subreactions are integrated into one surface reaction mechanism that describes the main SCR reactions (Standard SCR, Fast SCR, NO2 SCR), transient effects due to nitrate storage, as well as the production of the side...

Large-scale complex chemical processes increasingly appear in the modern process industry due to their economic efficiency. Such a large-scale complex chemical process usually consists of several unit operations (subsystems), which are connected together through material and energy flows. Because...

Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery for Process identification and multivariate monitoring using spectroscopy: application to low temperature bitumen visbreaking
DownloadFall 2016
Data mining and knowledge discovery is a systematic process of identifying useful information from a data set where there is no or limited information about the underlying process. In this study, data mining and other learning methods are used cohesively to model a low temperature visbreaking...
