Catalysis/CO2 sorption enhanced pyrolysis-gasification of biomass for H2-rich gas production: Effects of activated carbon, NiO active component and calcined dolomite

Bin Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of activated carbon, NiO active component, and calcined dolomite addition on H2-rich gas production from biomass pyrolysis-gasification. The results show that activated carbon greatly enhances H2 production due to its catalytic effect and self-gasification. Lower impregnation ratio of ZnCl2 or H3PO4 to biomass is preferable for H2 production. NiO mainly enters the micropores of activated carbon and may cover some active sites, reducing self-gasification but also showing catalytic effects on H2 production. The addition of calcined dolomite further increases H2 concentration and yield, and a synergistic effect is observed with NiO/activated carbon catalyst and calcined dolomite.

Deep learning optimization of a biomass and biofuel-driven energy system with energy storage option for electricity, cooling, and desalinated water

Tao Hai et al.

Summary: To enhance the efficiency of thermodynamic cycles, combined cycles have become a subject of great interest. These systems aim to maximize the utilization of waste heat from power cycles to drive cooling, heating, and desalination cycles. In this project, the general cycle includes power generation, freshwater generation, and cooling with essential water heating, while compressed air energy storage is employed to reduce the overall cost. Therefore, it is suggested to use compressed air during peak hours when power demand is highest. The article also presents a simulation of the gasification process using the generated products' high temperature to pre-heat the air. To expedite the optimization process and find the ideal points, machine learning techniques should be employed. The genetic algorithm demonstrates that the exergy turnover and economic cost of the newly introduced cycle's optimal point are 36.21% and 6.56 $/h, respectively.

Fate and Effects of Macro- and Microplastics in Coastal Wetlands

Xiaoguang Ouyang et al.

Summary: Coastal wetlands serve as traps for plastics, but little is known about the stocks and impacts of plastics in these areas. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of plastic abundance in coastal wetlands, finding that the abundance of plastics in sediment and the ingestion by marine animals far exceeds that in the water column. The abundance of plastics varies across different types of coastal wetlands and is influenced by climate, geography, seasons, and population density or waste management. Plastic ingestion by fish increases with size and weight. Microplastics have negative effects on biota abundance and mangrove survival but positive effects on sediment nutrients, leaf drop, and carbon emission. It is crucial to include microplastics in assessing the health and degradation of coastal wetland ecosystems.
