Polymorphism control in crystallization processes is critical for ensuring the final quality of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In the present research, the solvent-mediated phase transformation (SMPT) of paracetamol, a widely used API, from its metastable form II to the stable form I during seeded batch cooling crystallization in isopropyl alcohol/water solution is investigated. The study explores the utility of offline FT-NIR spectroscopy and an inline PAT Blaze900 probe to detect paracetamol polymorphs and monitor polymorphic changes. Key findings demonstrate that FT-NIR offers a robust offline alternative for polymorphism detection and monitoring. The PAT Blaze900 recordings, in terms of chord length counts and distributions, also provide additional information about form II SMPT and are in accordance with the FT-NIR prediction model output. The SMPT kinetics are influenced by operational parameters such as supersaturation and operational and cooling temperature. Optimization of these parameters enabled better control over the SMPT kinetics, paving the way for efficient stabilization of paracetamol metastable form II to 30 min before complete conversion to the most stable form I.

The solubility of drugs in supercritical carbon dioxide is a key parameter in their processing. This study focuses on sirolimus, an immunosuppressive drug used in organ transplantation. Its solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured using a static gravimetric method. Measurements were carried out at pressures ranging from 12.5 MPa to 25.0 MPa and temperatures from 313 K to 328 K. The findings revealed a molar fraction range of sirolimus between 1.20 × 10 6 and 2.73 × 10 6 and a direct solubility behavior in the investigated domain. The experimental data were correlated using several models. These included semi-empirical density-based models (Chrastil, Mendez-Santiago and Teja, Bartle et al., Kumar and Johnston, Sparks et al., and Sodeifian et al.), as well as equation of state-based models (Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson). The results indicated that Sparks et al. and Soave-Redlich-Kwong showed the lowest average absolute relative deviation (AARD%) and the corrected correlation coefficient (Radj) of 4.12 %, 0.978 and 05.18 %, 0.980 respectively.

This paper proposes a maintenance model for a Proton-Exchanged Membrane Fuel Cells system. Two types of failures are considered: non repairable internal failures and possibly repairable external failures. The maintenance involves replacing one or more cells. Therefore the maintenance can be perfect or imperfect. Moreover after each repair, the maintenance operator improves and the down time due to maintenance is reduced. A semi-Markov process is proposed to model the system’s lifetime. In this framework, the reliability measures and the remaining useful lifetime are derived. The long run average maintenance cost is studied. A sensitivity analysis of model parameters and maintenance unit costs is performed and a maintenance optimization strategy is proposed.

The depollution of constructed wetland-pretreated olive mill wastewater (OMW) using a membrane filtration system was experimentally studied. Dead-end filtration (DEF) was employed to evaluate suitable MF/UF membranes and select the appropriate molecular weight cut-off for optimal OMW treatment. Removal efficiencies for COD (chemical oxygen demand) and TOC (total organic carbon) using DEF reached maximum values of 88.14% and 11.17%, respectively. Adsorption of raw and pretreated OMW on granular activated carbon was also carried out for a comparative study against DEF and pretreatment. The semi-industrial-scale experiments were conducted using commercial ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) membranes (150 and 50 kDa) in cross-flow filtration (CFF) mode at a permeate flux around 200 L h−1 m−2 and a trans-membrane pressure (TMP) of 3.5–3.8 bars. This post-treatment had a significant impact on COD removal efficiency from pretreated OMW, reaching 78.5%. The coupled process proposed in this study achieved removal efficiencies of 97%, 97%, and 99.9% of COD, TOC, and turbidity, respectively.

This article is dedicated to the development of a model to simulate fast transient compressible flows on solid structures using immersed boundary method (IBM) and a lattice Boltzmann solver. Ultimately, the proposed model aims at providing an efficient algorithm to simulate strongly‐coupled fluid‐structure interactions (FSI). Within this goal, it is necessary to propose a precise and robust numerical framework and validate it on stationary solid cases first, which is the scope of the present study. Classical FSI methods, such as body‐fitted approaches, are facing challenges with moving or complex geometries in realistic conditions, requiring computationally expensive re‐meshing operations. IBM offers an alternative by treating the solid structure geometry independently from the fluid mesh. This study focuses on the extension of the IBM to compressible flows, and a particular attention is given to the enforcement of various thermal boundary conditions. A hybrid approach, combining diffuse forcing for Dirichlet‐type boundary conditions and ghost‐nodes forcing for Neumann‐type boundary conditions is introduced. Finally, a simplified model, relying only on diffuse IBM forcing, is investigated to treat specific cases where the fluid solid interface is considered as adiabatic. The accuracy of the method is validated through various test cases of increasing complexity.

Generative artificial intelligence methods are employed for the first time to construct a surrogate model for plasma turbulence that enables long-time transport simulations. The proposed GAIT (Generative Artificial Intelligence Turbulence) model is based on the coupling of a convolutional variational autoencoder that encodes precomputed turbulence data into a reduced latent space, and a recurrent neural network and decoder that generate new turbulence states 400 times faster than the direct numerical integration. The model is applied to the Hasegawa-Wakatani (HW) plasma turbulence model, which is closely related to the quasigeostrophic model used in geophysical fluid dynamics. Very good agreement is found between the GAIT and the HW models in the spatiotemporal Fourier and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition spectra, and the flow topology characterized by the Okubo-Weiss decomposition. The GAIT model also reproduces Lagrangian transport including the probability distribution function of particle displacements and the effective turbulent diffusivity.

Phosphorus is essential for global food production, but intensive agriculture disrupts its natural cycle, increasing reliance on non-renewable sources. A sustainable alternative is recovering phosphorus from waste streams using thermochemical processes. This work investigates the hydrothermal treatment of sewage sludge digestate to explore phosphorus conversion and speciation, aiming to optimize solid by-product as fertilizer. Through a novel integration of response surface methodology and process severity modeling, the study examines the influence of process parameters (temperature, time) on phosphorus behavior. A sewage sludge digestate, sampled from a wastewater treatment plant, was treated in a batch reactor at temperatures from 250 to 350 °C for 5-45 min. Products were centrifuged into a solid pellet and process water, followed by characterization of their physicochemical properties. Results show that temperature and time significantly impact by-product characteristics and phosphorus speciation. Treatments at 250-300 • C promote organic phosphorus mineralization and increase soluble phosphate concentration, while treatments at 350 • C lead to greater phosphorus recovery in the solid pellet, mostly as calcium phosphates. This research provides a framework for sustainable phosphorus recovery, suggesting hydrothermally treated pellets as potential slow-release fertilizers. Future work should comprehensively investigate the effect of calcium addition on phosphorus precipitation as calcium phosphates.

This paper presents a new thermodynamic closure formulation appropriate for the simulation of subcritical multiphase flows, where two liquid/vapor components need to be considered, in addition of an arbitrary number of perfect gas non-condensable components. Assuming each component to follow the Noble-Abel Stiffened Gas (NASG) equation of state allows to derive a fully explicit formulation for the mixture pressure. A matching phase transition solver is then proposed to compute efficiently and accurately the thermochemical equilibrium of the said mixture. The model capabilities are then illustrated through a two-dimensional simulation of a liquid ammonia tank leak into 80%-saturated humid air, where water is found to significantly condensate when interacting with the ammonia jet.

Pig manure is a renewable source of nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, that can be used to produce fertilizers. Hydrothermal treatment experiments using real pig manure were conducted to investigate the effect of temperature (107–200 ◦C) and reaction time (25–95 min) on nutrient conversion and distribution into hydrochar and process water. Sequential extractions were also performed to determine the phosphorus speciation in raw pig manure and hydrochars. The results showed that phosphorus and nitrogen recovery in the hydrochar was consistently above 94 % and 56 %, respectively, for all the experiments. Phosphorus content in the hydrochar increased from 15.4 to 24.6 mg P/g by increasing temperature and/or reaction time. Sequential extractions showed the increase in temperature led to a decrease in non-apatite inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus fractions in the hydrochars, while the apatite inorganic phosphorus fraction (Ca phosphates) increased. The concentration of total dissolved nitrogen in process water increased to values higher than 6000 mg N/L, while the ammonium concentration decreased to values lower than 2000 mg N/L by increasing temperature and/or reaction time. These results appear to indicate that the increase in hydrothermal temperature from 107 to 200 ◦C promoted the extraction and dissolution of organic nitrogen compounds from solid matrices to process water. This study provides valuable insights into P and N transformation during hydrothermal treatment of pig manure, which represent crucial information for developing sustainable treatment processes that aim to minimize waste disposal while enhancing the closure of anthropogenic P and N cycles.
