Equation-Oriented Modeling and Optimization of a Biorefinery Based on Avocado W...
Sousa, D; Rodrigues, D; Castro, PM; Matos, HADue to the growth in the consumption of avocado in recent years, the amount of waste caused by avocado peel and seed has increased. Avocado waste can be transformed into valuable products such as energy, biofuels, and biological products using integrated processes in a biorefinery. This paper considers the detailed modeling, simulation, and optimization of a biorefinery for the production of phenolic compounds,...
Optimization of an improved calcium-looping process for thermochemical energy s...
Rodrigues, D; Pinheiro, CIC; Filipe, RM; Mendes, LF; Matos, HAThe calcium-looping (CaL) process comprises an endothermic calcination reaction, where CaO and CO2 are generated from CaCO3, and its reverse exothermic carbonation reaction. CaL is promising for thermochemical energy storage (TCES) in concentrating solar power plants. The CaL-TCES process includes: a calciner where solar energy is transformed into thermochemical energy; a carbonator where the stored energy is r...

Efficiency of water removal from water/ethanol mixtures using supercritical car...
Rodrigues, MA; Li, J; Almeida, AJ; Matos, HA; de Azevedo, EGTechniques involving supercritical carbon dioxide have been successfully used for the formation of drug particles with controlled size distributions. However, these processes show some limitations, particularly in processing aqueous solutions. A diagram walking algorithm based on available experimental data was developed to evaluate the effect of ethanol on the efficiency of water removal processes under differ...
