Development of a hierarchical fuzzy model for the evaluation of inherent safety
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Inherent safety has been recognized as a design approach useful to remove or reduce hazards at the source instead of controlling them with add-on protective barriers. However, inherent safety is based on qualitative ...
Phase Equilibrium Studies on N-Oxidation Systems to Determine Homogeneous Mixture Conditions
(2018-10-24)
The N-oxidation of alkylpyridines is used in the pharmaceutical industries to synthesize alkylpyridine N-oxides that are involved in the production of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The synthesis process involves ...
Safety-oriented Resilience Evaluation in Chemical Processes
(2012-02-14)
In the area of process safety, many efforts have focused on studying methods to prevent the transition of the state of the system from a normal state to an upset and/or catastrophic state, but many unexpected changes are ...
Evaluation of Alternatives for Safer and More Efficient Reactions: A study of the N-oxidation of Alkylpyridines
(2012-02-14)
The catalytic N-oxidation of alkylpyridines, a reaction which uses hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent and the water soluble phosphotungstic acid as the catalyst, is a reaction employed in the pharmaceutical industry. ...
