BRIEF COURSE OVERVIEW
BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION Introduces students to the application of safety and risk management in chemical engineering processes. The course will not only serve as an introduction to the fundamental principles of safety and risk management, but also to the practical application of the technology in industry. ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE GENG1803 TEACHING METHODS Lecture CONTACT HOURS Lecture, 4 hours per week for full term. CONTINUOUS COURSE EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT Each year feedback is sought from students and other stakeholders about the courses offered in the University for the purposes of identifying areas of excellence and potential improvement. Information on previous course offerings is available at http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/university-surveys/ The key themes of previous feedback, and any major changes that were made as a consequence of this are outlined below. Unit objectives have been modified while assessment items have been re-aligned to the new unit objectives. The HAZOP report mark allocation is now 22.5%, which most students see as a fair reflection of the effort required to complete this aspect of the course.

    Following accidents and allegations, it has been said that health and safety are not being taken serious in Britain’s Scientific Workplaces, there are many organisations that keep a check on laboratories to make sure that they are continuing to maintain the standards that are required for that particular scientific area and that all the staff members who work there are not being put at risk. The aims of these regulations are to ensure safe working practices and environmental protection. These regulations can be achieved by the correct use of the buildings, machinery and equipment as well as use of energy and water.…

    The most hazardous chemicals found in school are used by the caretaker. These are kept in a locked cupboard and only a small quantity is kept in school. They must always be in the original bottle and never in food or drinks containers. Chemical data sheets for such substances are kept in the office and offer advice on protection needed for using each chemical and the procedure for accidents with chemicals or in case of fire.…

    When we have reached old age and reminisce of days long ago, will we look back on ourselves and note the changes we have gone through? Is it possible that we are exactly the same person we were dozens of years ago, or have certain parts of our personalities changed while other parts have stayed the same? I can at least say that for myself, I have undergone significant changes with my personality throughout the course of my life. My personality development was not only a product of nature, or genetics, but the environment as well.…

    The objective of this project is to optimize the preparation of modified Calcium Oxide (CaO) to capture CO2 by carbonation through hydration of ethanol/water. The carbonation reaction is the basis for CO2 capture systems. However CaO as regenerable CO2 sorbents in industrial processes is limited by the rapid decay of the carbonation conversion with the number of cycle carbonation/ calcination. Therefore Calcium based sorbents have attracted renewed attention as possible sorbents for cyclic calcination/carbonation processes due to their potential for regeneration and effective technique for capturing CO2 from combustion processes. The carbonation conversion for CaO modified with ethanol/water solution is greater than for CaO hydrated with distilled water and is much higher than that for calcined limestone. (Li et all). This work covers and presents a multi experimental test of preparing the modified CaO through hydration of water/ethanol by manipulate various parameter combination. The experiments were conducted using a modified furnace to permit the flow of CO2 for carbonation process and calcium oxide. Then, the carbonation conversion is calculated which signify the effectiveness of CO2 capture and the optimum parameter to produce the highest carbonation conversion is identified based on approach of Taguchi Method , the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Through this study the optimal parameter to prepare modified CaO through ethanol/water hydration can be obtained.…
