Abstract
Flow chemistry provides a neo-orientation for the research and development of chemical technology, in which heterogeneous continuous catalysis based on packed beds can realize rapid separation and recycling. However, options for heterogeneous catalysts are still limited. In this work, we gradually grow covalent organic frameworks (COFs, TpBpy) on the surface of a silica gel (SiO2)-supported substrate to obtain a stable copper(I)-chelated high-loading heterogeneous catalyst (SiO2@CuI-TpBpy). SiO2@CuI-TpBpy shows high catalytic activity in three-component Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, giving the corresponding triazoles with excellent yields and reposeful recyclability under batch conditions. The structures of the catalysts remain steady, and the copper contents are basically unchanged after five cycles. Then, the catalysts are successfully applied for three-component heterogeneous catalysis in a one-pot continuous flow to prepare rufinamide in 89% yield for 24 h stably and efficiently with mere traces of copper ions remaining. More importantly, the catalytic system reveals a minuscule effect of catalyst particle size on internal diffusion. This COF encapsulation strategy presents a new possibility for the design of industrial heterogeneous catalysts with high metal loading and low internal diffusion resistance.

Abstract
This paper examines NH3 decomposition rates based on a literature-proven six-step elementary catalytic (Ni-BaZrO3) mechanism valid for 1 × 105 Pa pressure in a 650-950 K range. The rates are generated using a hypothetical continuous stirred tank catalytic reactor model running the literature mechanism. Excellent correlations are then obtained by fitting these rates to a simple overall kinetic expression based on an assumed slow step, with the remaining steps in fast pseudo-equilibria. The robust overall simple rate expression is then successfully demonstrated in various packed bed reactor applications. This expression facilitates engineering calculations without the need for a complex, detailed mechanism solver package. The methodology used in this work is independent of the choice of catalyst. It relies on the availability of a previously published and validated elementary reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Chemical systems for thermal energy storage are promising routes to overcome the issue of solar irradiation discontinuity, helping to improve the cost-effectiveness and dispatchability of this technology. The present work is concerned with the simulation of a configuration based on an indirect-packed bed heat exchanger, for which few experimental and modelling data are available about practical applications. Since air shows advantages both as a reactant and heat transfer fluid, the modelling was performed considering a redox oxide based system, and, for this purpose, it was considered a pelletized aluminum/manganese spinel. A symmetrical configuration was selected and the calculation was carried out considering a heat duty of 125 MWth and a storage period of 8 h. Firstly, the heat exchanger was sized considering the mass and energy balances for the discharging step, and, subsequently, air inlet temperature and mass flow were determined for the charging step. The system performances were then modelled as a function of the heat exchanger length and the charging and discharging time, by solving the relative 1D Navier-Stokes equations. Despite limitations in the global heat exchange efficiency, resulting in an oversize of the storage system, the results showed a good storage efficiency of about 0.7.

Abstract
This study numerically investigates a two-dimensional physical model of methane/air mixture combustion in catalytic and non-catalytic porous media. The temperature distribution and flame stability of combustion in inert alumina (Al2O3) pellets and platinum (Pt) catalyst-supported alumina (Al2O3) pellets, were studied by changing the burner structure, operating parameters, and physical properties of alumina pellets. The simulation results indicated that the gas temperature in the inert porous medium is higher than that in a catalytic porous medium, while the solid temperature in an inert porous medium is lower than that in a catalytic porous medium. The flame moved toward the burner exit with the increasing diameter of the packed pellets at a lower equivalence ratio and moved toward upstream with the increased thermal conductivity of packed pellets. The flame location of the catalytic porous burner was more sensitive to the flame velocity and insensitive to thermal conductivity compared to the inert porous burner. The distance of the flame location to the burner inlet is almost constant with the increasing length of the porous media for both the catalytic and inert porous burner, while the relative position of the flame location moved toward the upstream.

Abstract
Self-inactivating lentiviral vectors (LVVs) are used regularly for genetic modification of cells, including T cells and hematopoietic stem cells for cellular gene therapy. As vector demand grows, scalable and controllable methods are needed for production. LVVs are typically produced in HEK293T cells in suspension bioreactors using serum-free media or adherent cultures with serum. The iCELLis® is a packed-bed bioreactor for adherent or entrained cells with surface areas from 0.53 to 500 m2. Media are pumped through the fixed bed and overflows, creating a thin film that is replenished with oxygen and depleted of CO2 as media return to the reservoir. We describe the optimization and scale-up of the production of GPRTG-EF1α-hγc-OPT LVV using a stable packaging cell line in the iCELLis Nano 2-cm to the 10-cm bed height low compaction bioreactors (0.53 and 2.6 m2 surface area) and compare to the productivity and efficacy of GPRTG-EF1α-hγc-OPT LVV manufactured under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) using 10-layer cell factories for the treatment of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency. By optimizing fetal bovine serum (FBS) concentration, pH post-induction, and day of induction, we attain viral yields of more than 2 × 107 transducing units/mL. We compared transduction efficiency between LVVs produced from the iCELLis Nano and cell factories on healthy, purified CD34+ cells and found similar results.

Abstract
In this study, a green adsorbent was synthesized for the removal of nitrate ions from water. The adsorbent consisted of carbonaceous particles with high specific surface area (1,240 m2 g-1) and porosity derived from pyrolysis of cornelian cherry stone and modified by protonated cross-linked chitosan. The adsorbent was characterized using various techniques like SEM, FTIR, BJH and zeta potential measurements. Dynamic behavior of the adsorbent in the nitrate adsorption was studied in a packed bed system at various operating conditions and in the presence of other competing anions (PO43-, HCO3-, SO42-). Based on the error analysis, the optimum operating conditions were considered at flow rate of 3.8 mL min-1, bed depth of 10 cm and nitrate concentration of 75 mg L-1. The kinetics of the adsorption process was studied using Adams-Bohart and Thomas models and the qmax was calculated to be about 12.4 mg g-1 at neutral pH and room temperature. Furthermore, the relationship between the bed height and the breakthrough time was described by bed depth service time (BDST) model. The experimental results suggested that the adsorbent possessed significant ability in nitrate removal from water due to the desired chemistry of the biopolymer and the excellent textural properties of the carbon support.

Abstract
Monitoring and control of odorous compound emissions have been enforced by the Korean government since 2005. One of the point sources for these emissions was from food waste composting facilities. In this study, a pilot-scale scrubber installed in a composting facility was evaluated for its performance in the removal of malodorous compounds. The exhaust stream contained ammonia and methylamine as the major odorants detected by the threshold odor test and various instrumental techniques (GC-FID, FPD, MS and HPLC/UV). For the scrubber operation, the column was randomly packed with polypropylene Hi-Rex 200, while aqueous sulfuric acid was selected as the scrubbing solution. To achieve 95% removal, the scrubber must be operated by using H2SO4 solution with pH at < 6.5, liquid to gas ratio > 4.5, gas loading rate < 1750 m3/m3-hr and contact time < 0.94 s. The scrubber performance was further evaluated by determining the mass transfer coefficients and then monitoring for 355 days of operation. The pilot-scale scrubber maintained > 95% ammonia and methylamine removal efficiencies despite the fluctuations in the inlet (from composting facility exhaust stream) concentration. The optimum operating conditions and scrubber performance indicators determined in this study provides a basis for the design of a plant-scale scrubber for treatment of composting facility gas emissions.

Abstract
This work is aimed to produce endoglucanase through solid state fermentation in a packed bed bioreactor with the use of the fungus Myceliophtora sp. I-1D3b using a mixture of wheat bran (WB) and sugar cane bagasse (SCB) as culture medium. Preliminary tests were performed in polypropylene plastic bags, controlling the variables temperature (40, 45, and 50°C), initial moisture content (75, 80, and 85%, w.b.), and weight proportion SCB/WB (1:1, 7:3, and 9:1). The highest enzyme activities in plastic bags were obtained using the substrate proportion of 7:3, 50°C temperature, and 80% initial moisture content (878 U/grams of dry solid). High activities of filter-paper cellulase and xylanase were also obtained in plastic bags and some results are reported. For the packed bed experiments, the temperature (45 and 50°C) and the air flow rate (80, 100 and 120L/h) were the controlled variables. Activity of endoglucanase was similar to plastic bag tests. A longitudinal gradient of moisture content, was observed increasing from the bottom to the top of the reactor, even though the longitudinal enzyme activity profile was flat for almost the whole bed. Air flow rate did not affect enzyme activity, while experiments carried out at 50°C showed higher enzyme activities. The maximum temperature peak observed was at about 6°C above the process temperature.
