Accordingly, the aim of this research is identification and classification of residues and consumer chemical identification and classification of residues and consumer chemical materials in Maroon Petrochemical Company Olefin Unit. Material and Methodology: Method in this research includes library studies and field observations from Olefin Unit and finally residues classification was based on Basel Convention. Findings: Studies showed that unit has 18 non-dangerous and 9 dangerous residues all those have identified on solid, semi solid, and liquid phase. The most non- dangerous residue belongs to wastage flea with 60 tons and the least was cloth element with 0.144 in year. Also, the most dangerous residue belongs to heavy oil with 144 tons and the least was petroleum with 1 ton in year. Discussion and Conclusion: Therefore, by 1.900.000 tons in year of consumer raw materials for producing of product in Olefin Unit, there was 323.9 tons of dangerous residue production in year. It is suggested that the performance of the olefin unit should be controlled according to the designed conditions and the catalysts and absorbents in the unit should be replaced with better types with a longer useful life.

Fifteen reinforced concrete beams were prepared in three groups; in two groups, two types of steel and polyolefin fibers were utilized to construct the beams. Four beams from each group were subjected to accelerated corrosion to create corrosion percentages of 3.5, 7, 15 and 30% in tensile steels. Then the beams were subjected to a four-point bending test, and the parameters of yield strength, ultimate strength, yield deflection, ultimate deflection, failure mode and ductility of the beams were investigated. The results indicated that up to the corrosion level of 15%, with the development of general corrosion, along with the reduction of stiffness and resistance of the beams, the ultimate deflection of the beams increased, and at the corrosion level of 30%, with the development of local corrosion, the ultimate strength and ultimate deflection of the beams were greatly reduced. The level of corrosion in tensile steel of beams containing steel fibers was lower than that of in the other beams, which was caused by the sacrificial anode effect of steel fibers. Under the corrosion conditions of tensile steel, the reduction of strength and stiffness in fibrous concrete beams were less than those in the plain concrete beams, and the performance of steel fibers in this field was significantly better than their polyolefin counterparts. Furthermore, the fibers used for this purpose, had significantly positive effect on the ductility of reinforced concrete beams with tensile steel corrosion. Manuscript profile -

In this study, HZSM-5 catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and NH3 temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) analysis. The catalysis included microsphere morphology which led to mesoporous structure formation and acceleration of diffusion. Based on characterization, the catalysis represented high crystallinity, high surface area and appropriate acidity properties. The results showed that the catalysis provided high methanol conversion (99.5%), selectivity of light olefins (82%), and long-term catalytic lifetime (72h). In order to increase the production yield, suitable reaction groups and kinetics in consistent with the catalysis performance was determined and methanol to olefin (MTO) process was simulated. The simulation results showed well agreement with the experimental data. Optimization of kinetic and operational parameters of MTO resulted in high methanol conversion and light olefins selectivity as 100 % and 94.1 %, respectively. The catalysis performance in the MTO process under the optimized operational conditions was confirmed the simulation results which indicated practicality of applied simulation and optimization Manuscript profile
