El presente trabajo de tesis desarrolla el diseño, construcción y evaluación de un sistema de concentración solar del tipo Cilíndrico Parabólico, el cual fue realizado en los ambientes del Centro de Energías Renovables de Tacna – CERT de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad Nacional Jorge Basadre Grohmann. Para el diseño se utilizaron dos software tales como el Microsoft Excel y el AutoCAD. Para la construcción se emplearon materiales que son fácilmente accesibles en el mercado nacional y local, parte de estos incluso son material reciclado, por ejemplo el cobertor de vidrio del tubo absorbente se tomó de tubos rotos de termas solares de tubos al vacío. El factor de concentración del sistema es de 26,44 soles, con esto podemos alcanzar temperaturas superiores a los 100°C en el tubo absorbente en condiciones normales de temperatura y radiación (radiación directa). A...

En el presente trabajo experimental se presenta los resultados preliminares obtenidos en el diseño, construcción y evaluación de dos sistemas de concentración solar para la generación de vapor de agua, estos son el Concentrador Solar Cilíndrico Parabólico (CCP), y el Reflector Solar Fresnel de Foco Lineal (RESFFOL). La evaluación se ha realizado bajo las condiciones de radiación solar y otros parámetros meteorológicos de la ciudad de Tacna, llegándose a determinar el área eficiente de la superficie reflectante, pérdidas de calor debido al ángulo de inclinación del concentrador, determinación de la eficiencia óptica, determinación del coeficiente global de pérdidas y la determinación de la eficiencia térmica, estos resultados nos indican la posibilidad de usar esta tecnología para el uso de la energía solar y producir vapor de agua a determinada temperatura y presi...

In this study, cladodes of Opuntia ficus indica (OFIC), chemically modified with NaOH (OFICM), have been prepared, characterized, and tested as an effective biomass to remove Pb(II) and/or Cd(II) from aqueous media. At an optimum pH of 4.5, the adsorption capacity, qe, of treated OFICM was almost four times higher than that of untreated OFIC. The maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) in the single removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) were 116.8 and 64.7 mg g−1, respectively. These values were 12.1% and 70.6% higher than those for the corresponding qmax in binary removal, which indicates the strong inhibitive effect of Pb(II) on the co-cation Cd(II) in a binary system. Structural and morphological characterization have been carried out by FTIR, SEM/EDX, and point of zero charge (pHPZC) measurements. The SEM/EDX results confirmed that the metals are adsorbed on the surface. The presence of C-O, C...

In this study, a glassy borosilicate compound was synthesized using recycled glass and natural clays. Even though glass recycling is the generally accepted standard practice for managing glass waste, fine fractions of container soda-lime glass or cullet of other compositions are still disposed of in landfills. Thus, advanced upcycled products that offer greater economic motivation for implementation in industry may be the key to success, but these are frequently linked to alternative methods of product synthesis. Here, a simple and facile route of borosilicate compound production has been synthesized and characterized. The physicochemical characterization of the compounds was carried out to determine their properties and the antibacterial efficacy of the synthesized compound against Escherichia coli (E. coli) was investigated. The structural and spectroscopic characteristics were identif...
