In this study, a thermally activated persulfate oxidation process was investigated to treat aqueous methylene blue (MB) dye. Effects of temperature (55-80 degrees C), initial pH (2.3-9.3), and potassium persulfate concentration (500-2000 (mg/L)) on MB color removal were examined. Results showed that acidic and neutral pH values were more favorable for MB oxidation than basic pH values. Based on experimental results, increasing the temperature from 55 to 80 (degrees C), and oxidant dose from 500 to 2000 (mg/L) enhanced the color removal efficiency (CR%) from 36% to 99.5% and from 55% to 98%, respectively. Kinetic study indicated that MB dye removal was a pseudo first-order reaction with respect to the various concentrations of MB and persulfate. Activation energy for the hot persulfate oxidation of MB was obtained as 112.3 (kJ/mol). To analyze the experimental data, an experimental design was applied by considering four operating parameters, including initial dye concentration, oxidant dosage, temperature and reaction time as input variables. A model was proposed for the statistical analysis of color removal prediction. Model predictions were found to be in good agreement (R-2 = 0.96, adjusted R-2 = 95.6%) with experimental data.

Deep feature representation with online convolutional adversarial autoencoder for nonlinear process monitoring

Xu Yang, Jieshi Xiao, Jian Huang, Kaixiang Peng

Summary: This study introduces an online convolutional adversarial autoencoder (AAE) model to learn representative industrial process information. By extracting features that reflect diverse information and follow a Gaussian distribution, the model improves the accuracy of fault detection and removes redundant information through a feature selection strategy.

Enhancing PEDOT modified electrode for tartrazine sensing through the immobilization of MIL-100(Fe) metal-organic framework

Shao-Yang Wu, Meng-Tsun Lai, Chung-Hui Hsu, Kevin C. W. Wu, Yesong Gu

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of using Fe-based MOF or MIL-100(Fe) in conjunction with a PEDOT-modified Pt electrode for detecting the synthetic azo dye tartrazine. By modifying the electrode with two different methods, favorable lower reductive potentials, competitive sensitivities, and good repeatability and stability were achieved in all MIL-100(Fe)/PEDOT/Pt electrodes.
