To achieve energy-environment synergy and sustainability, this study proposes a poly generation system that integrates the energy release process of liquefied natural gas (LNG) oxy-fuel power generation with the energy storage process of green methanol synthesis from renewable energy. In this system, oxygen, the byproduct of water hydrolysis to hydrogen, can support LNG oxy-fuel power generation; while the cold energy released during LNG regasification can serve as a cold source for carbon capture, the captured CO2 can be utilized as the carbon source for methanol synthesis, thus realizing cleaner methanol production and an efficient power generation process with near-zero carbon emission. Following the process design, the parameters were optimized with minimum levelized production cost of methanol and electricity as the objective function through Matlab using the “MADS” algorithm, resulting in 683.79 $/tonne and 68.05 $/MW h, respectively, with overall exergy efficiency of 50.28%. Notably, as green methanol synthesis requires additional CO2, a reduction of 2272.59 kg/h can be achieved. The study concludes that the novel poly generation process is superior in exergy efficiency and CO2 capture and utilization but inferior in high production costs.

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is one of the most widely used plastics. However, a major challenge in recycling PVC is that there is no economical method to separate and remove its toxic phthalate plasticizers. This research made a breakthrough by extracting PVC with liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) and successfully separating the plasticizer components. Nearly all (97.1 %) of the di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate plasticizer was extracted within 30 min by passing liquefied DME (285 g) through PVC at 25 °C. The compatibility of PVC with organic solvents, including liquefied DME, was derived theoretically from their Hansen solubility parameters (HSP), and actual dissolution experiments were conducted to determine the optimal PVC solvents. A liquefied DME mixture was used to dissolve PVC, and the extract was diluted with ethanol to precipitate the dissolved PVC. We demonstrated that liquefied DME is a promising method for producing high quality recycled products and that the process retains the fundamental properties of plasticizers and PVC without inducing degradation or depolymerization. Because of its low boiling point, DME can be easily separated from the solute after extraction, allowing for efficient reuse of the solvent, extracted plasticizer, and PVC. DME does not require heat and produces little harmful wastewater, which significantly reduces the energy consumption of the plasticizer additive separation process.

This study focuses on optimizing the energy requirement in the post-combustion CO2 capture system using pressure swing regeneration through a model-based design (MBD). The simulation results highlight the significant impact of CO2 recovery, inlet gas and liquid flow rate, and CO2 concentration in the flue gas on the overall energy demand of the system. Moreover, an investigation into the de-sublimation chamber was undertaken, revealing a relationship between dry ice formation and the heat transfer between the LNG stream and CO2 in the heat exchanger. The parametric analysis study reveals that the sensible heat of the lean solvent is significantly influenced by the CO2 concentration in the liquid, consequently affecting the overall system energy. According to the results, the utilization of cold energy from LNG could save 80 % of the total energy requirement. The optimization results found the best working condition, which consumes energy of 0.190 GJ/ton CO2, 31 % lower than the basic scenario.

CO2 solubility is one of the key factors in evaluating not only the efficiency of the absorbent but also the energy consumption of the CO2 capture process from flue gas. In this study, a system namely headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC), which is a combination of gas chromatography (GC-3200, GL Sciences) and a headspace autosampler (Turbomatrix HS16, PerkinElmer), was developed to measure the CO2 solubility of amine solutions. The equilibrium time and calibration curve of this system were checked and compared with those of the literature data. The developed system showed high reproducibility with reference CO2 solubility data of benchmark amine solutions. Distinct from conventional measurement methods of CO2 solubility, high-throughput CO2 solubility measurement by HS-GC shows its advantages such as a small amount sample requirement, rapid achievement of equilibration time, automation of sample exchange, and high reproducibility, which is superior in the amine solvent screening phase. Moreover, this system can evaluate new types of CO2 capture solvents, including the phase separation solvent. By acquiring continuous data, the inflection point in the solubility curve indicated by phase separation was observed. The absorption heat estimated from those CO2 solubility curves measured by this system also agrees well with the experimental data.

During the design of the carbon capture and hydrogen storage process, a static CO2 hydrogenation poly-generation process for methanol and formic acid synthesis was developed, thereby reducing recycling flow and feedstock losses in the single methanol synthesis process and increasing product diversity. Additionally, a novel flexible poly-generation process was proposed as the product prices fluctuated with the market environment throughout the plant's life cycle. For the static poly-generation process, a mixed integer nonlinear programming model was established, followed by the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search algorithm to determine the optimal parameter design. For flexible processes, with the unscented transform tool, a two-stage optimization strategy is proposed for obtaining optimal design and operating parameters that are computationally tractable. With an input CO2 flow rate of 200 kmol/h, the results show (1) the static process with an optimal Return On Investment of 13.05%, a fixed investment cost of $ 34.14 × 106, and an annual net profit of 4.46 × 106 $/year; and (2) the flexible process, in which the flexibility indices of the methanol and formic acid production units are 1.088 and 1.194, respectively, resulting the fixed investment cost increase to $ 39.19 × 106, an increase of 14.79%. Accordingly, the annual net profit increased by 8.97% to 4.86 × 106 $/year, while the Return On Investment decreased by 4.67%–12.44%. For investment decision-makers, the flexible poly-generation process can achieve higher profits and reduce potential market risks when they have adequate financing.

CO2 methanation suffers from the problem of temperature runaway phenomenon due to its exothermic nature. To mitigate this issue, optimizing catalyst structure becomes crucial. This work established numerical models to investigate the CO2 methanation reaction and heat/mass transfer process in the reactor with porous pellet and monolithic catalysts. Results show that the reactor with porous pellets has the lowest carbon conversion per unit pressure drop due to its large total pressure drop. In contrast, the reactor with monolith exhibits a much larger carbon conversion per unit pressure drop but a smaller absolute carbon conversion. Based on this, an improved “CHESS” monolith structure was proposed and improved, which not only maintains a high absolute carbon conversion (62.6 %) but also enhances the heat transfer process in CO2 methanation. Moreover, compared with the reactor with porous pellets, the maximum temperature in the improved “CHESS” monolith was decreased by around 11.09 %.

The concentration of the major greenhouse gas CO2 is rapidly increasing in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and a range of environmental issues. An efficient circulation and utilization of CO2 is critical in the current environmental context. Methanation, an exothermic process, emerges as a critical strategy for effective CO2 utilization. On this front, there is a significant demand for rational design of catalysts that maintain high activity and methane selectivity over a wide temperature range (250–550 °C). The catalyst that can promise a consistent reaction even at 500 °C under an atmospheric pressure is thus obliged. The present study investigated bimetallic catalysts with SiC, which is known for its exceptional thermal conductivity, and CeO2, which is characterized by its CO₂ affinity, as base materials. We incorporated Ni-M and Ru-M (M = Co and Mn) as the active metals, each loaded at 2 %. Impressively, with merely 20 mg, the Ni-Co/SiC catalyst achieved a CO2 conversion rate of 77 % and CH₄ selectivity of 88 % at 500 °C, in a fixed-bed tubular reactor system with conditions of H2/CO2 = 4, a total flow rate of 70 ml min−1, and a steady GHSV of 12,000 h−1. Moreover, 2Ni-2Co/CeO2 catalyst demonstrated exceptional performance with a 76 % conversion of CO2 and a 83 % selectivity for CH4, all under identical conditions. The catalyst's durability was confirmed by a subsequent 40-hour stability test, which showed only a 3–5 % degradation. The developed catalysts were comprehensively characterized by BET/BJH, CO pulse chemisorption, H2-TPR, HAADF-STEM-EDS, SEM-EDS and XRD etc. to unveil their physicochemical and surface traits. It was found that Co and Mn, when integrated, effectively restrained the agglomeration of Ni and Ru particles, ensuring optimal metal dispersion on the support. In conclusion, our synthesized bimetallic catalysts shown a sustained catalytic capability, even in the high-temperature environment.

This paper reports a computational fluid dynamics simulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) methanation via the Sabatier process in a shell-and-tube reactor, incorporating a water phase change simulation on the shell side using the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The essential heat removal factors and their mechanisms, such as the catalyst size, bed porosity, thermal conductivity, coolant flow rate, and coolant boiling, were primarily investigated. The computational code was a newly developed in-house version of ChtMultiRegionFOAM based on OpenFOAM v2006. This code can simulate catalyst-gas heat transfer, which is called the two-temperature model. The code was extended to new methanation and phase-change models based on the VOF method. The computational code was first validated using existing experimental data. After sufficient accuracy was confirmed, several parametric studies were conducted. Catalyst heat conductivity was the most influential factor among the catalyst-related parameters. The flow rate of the oil coolant significantly affected the cooling performance. Finally, the use of boiling water significantly reduced the coolant flow rate. Moreover, the cooling performance remained unchanged until the total heat release rate from the gas exceeded the total latent heat of the water.

For the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), the single-metal atom catalysts (SACs) on N-doped carbon are considered promising alternatives to conventional catalysts owing to their unique electrocatalytic properties. However, environmentally friendly methods to prepare SACs are still required. Herein, Ni SAC was synthesized using lignin derived from biomass whose structural and chemical properties render it suitable as both a base carbon matrix and a metal chelating agent. The coordination environment of active Ni−Nx sites was readily manipulated by controlling thermal activation. The Ni SAC on lignin-derived N-doped carbon achieved an outstanding CO Faradaic efficiency of 98.2 % at −0.9 V vs. RHE, which is comparable to those of conventional SACs. Experimental results combined with DFT calculations demonstrate the optimal conditions for manufacturing Ni SAC which is highly selective for CO2-to-CO conversion and the effect of the electronic structure of Ni atom on CO2RR kinetics.

The extraction of petroleum and natural gas is often accompanied by a large number of associated gases, especially the high CO2 content reservoirs facing the emission of a large amount of CO2. CO2 methanation is recognized as one of the suitable candidates for CO2 utilization to reduce the emission of CO2. Because of the highly exothermic nature of the reaction, however, it is very important to enhance the heat transfer process inside the reactor and inhibit the formation of hot spots. In the fixed bed reactor, the heat transfer in the radial direction is greatly limited compared with that in the axial direction. Thus, this work adopted the radial flow reactor to evaluate the CO2 methanation process by the means of a numerical model based on OpenFOAM. Four types of radial flow reactor configurations, namely centrifugal Z-type, centrifugal Π-type, centripetal Z-type, and centripetal Π-type, were compared. The fluid flow, heat transfer, and reaction performances for these reactors were discussed under consistent operating conditions. Results show that the centrifugal Π-type structure has the most uniform flow field. In terms of heat transfer and reaction performance, the centripetal Z-type structure is the best among the four radial flow reactor configurations. These findings provide a theoretical basis and technical guidance for designing and developing radial flow reactors.

The injection of CO2 with coal into coal gasifier is a promising approach to achieve CO2 recirculation. Predicting the formation and evolution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and soot during coal gasification is particularly important as their presence poses challenges to the gasifier operation and environment. However, the effect of CO2 injection on their formation must be elucidated in more detail to optimize the gasifier design. This work investigates PAHs and soot formations in gas-phase reactions under different gasifying agents (Air, O2/CO2, O2/H2O) in a two-stage entrained flow coal gasifier using a detailed chemical kinetic model (DCKM). Under the O2/CO2– and O2/H2O-blown conditions, aromatics reforming was progressed whereas the yields of tar and soot were effectively suppressed. The benzene was observed as the most abundant PAHs species, followed by naphthalene and acenaphthalene. Regarding the relative oxygen concentration, the conversion behavior of aromatics was significantly influenced in the O2/CO2-blown condition, while the somewhat effect was found in the O2/H2O-blown condition. Tar yield peaked at 50% relative oxygen concentration in the O2/CO2-blown condition. The present finding may have practical significance in the O2/CO2-blown gasifier to facilitate CO2 recirculation for the oxy-fuel IGCC system.

Production of pyridine derivatives from bio-based feedstocks instead of fossil fuels is a promising strategy. The development of effective heterogeneous catalysts and mild reaction systems for pyridinization of renewable biomass derivatives remains a huge challenge. In this article, a direct and environment-friendly method was reported to produce 3-hydroxypyridine from bio-based furfural in water over a Raney Fe catalyst. Raney Fe exhibited an efficient catalytic performance for activation of the aldehyde group of furfural and afforded an 18.2% yield of 3-hydroxypyridine at 120 °C with ammonia as N source. The polymerization of furfural on the catalyst in hot water was the main cause of deactivation, which was verified by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and N2 adsorption and desorption analysis. A possible mechanism for this reaction was also proposed. This study provides a new way for academia and industry to realize the synthesis of nitrogen-containing chemicals from biomass and its derivatives.

In this study, we report on a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the chemical vapor deposition reactor of silicon carbide (SiC) in the methyltrichlorosilane (MTS, CH3SiCl3)/H2 system. The formation of SiC thin film is controlled by various process parameters, such as temperature and pressure. In this study, we propose a reaction mechanism of MTS decomposition to SiC growth on a substrate surface for CVD reactors in the CH3SiCl3(MTS)/H2 system. The reaction mechanism has two gas-phase pyrolysis reactions and one SiC film formation reaction. However, we individually build and validate MTS decomposition and SiC growth models to reduce uncertainty. An in-house version of reactingFoam, a reactive flow solver within OpenFOAM v2006, was used as the simulation tool. Our model accurately reproduced MTS decomposition for T = 1100–1350 K and [H2]/[MTS] = 2.65–14 at p = 101,325 Pa. Then, the MTS decomposition model was coupled with the SiC growth model, and the coupled model was applied to the SiC deposition data. The model could reproduce multiple datasets through validation studies.

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is one of the feasible strategies for carbon capture and utilization. However, the DRM process has a high tendency toward carbon deposition, which is restricted to industrial applications. In order to further improve coke formation resistance, open-cell foam with hierarchical pore structure was investigated. An artificial algorithm was adopted to construct a hierarchical pore structure in open-cell foam. Based on a 3-D lattice Boltzmann model, this work explored the effect of two hierarchical pore structure parameters on the fluid flow and coke formation characteristics in open-cell foam, which are hierarchical pore volume ratio (V2/V1) and hierarchical pore size ratio (d2/d1). The results indicated that increasing V2/V1 and d2/d1 can significantly promote permeability. Under the restriction ofV2/V1 = 4, from d2/d1 = 1 to 4, the coke formation rate decreases by approximately 57.49 %. These findings provide a theoretical basis and technical guidance for designing and developing open-cell foam reactors.

Effective thermal conductivity in open-cell foam with hierarchical pore structure was estimated using lattice Boltzmann method. A new structure algorithm was proposed to reconstruct hierarchical pore structure in open-cell foam. In order to elucidate the heat transfer characteristics in hierarchical pore structure, the effect of structure parameters, namely the hierarchical pore size ratio (d2/d1), the hierarchical pore volume ratio (V2/V1), and temperature on the effective thermal conductivity was investigated. These results indicated that hierarchical pore structure is unfavorable to the effective thermal conductivity in open-cell foam for the heat conduction process. At high temperatures (Tave = 450–1650 K), however, the effective thermal conductivity in hierarchical pore structure is higher than that in uniform pore structure considering heat radiation. Furthermore, for the heat conduction process, a correlation of the effective thermal conductivity related to open-cell foam with hierarchical pore structure was proposed and validated by available experimental data.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of fatty acids into long-chain alkanes for aviation fuels with alcohol hydrogen donor at mild condition over Ni-based catalyst is a practicable subject. However, highly active sites design for Ni-based catalyst remains significant challenges. Herein, a fine NiAl particle catalyst with numerous oxygen vacancy sites was fabricated via hydrothermal and reduction treatment. Introduction of small amount of Al species into Ni catalyst not only reduces the Ni particle size exposing plenty of active sites, but also generates oxygen vacancies in AlOx and sets up charge transfer in Ni-AlOx interfaces, thus guarantees the excellent in-situ HDO activity of fatty acids using isopropanol as hydrogen donor. Density functional theory calculation results further reveal that Ni (111) modified by AlOx with oxygen vacancy improves the charge density in Ni-AlOx interface and enhances the adsorption of fatty acid, facilitating the hydrodeoxygenation process. Benefiting from these attributes, Ni–Al0.33Ox presented superior catalytic activity and stability, which achieved 93.2% yield of n-heptadecane at 250 °C and was able to reuse at least 4 times. Therefore, the as-prepared Ni–Al0.33Ox is a promising Ni-based catalyst for alkanes production via in-situ HDO of fatty acids at mild conditions.

CO2 methanation, which converts CO2 and hydrogen into methane as fuel, is one of the promising candidates for the development of CO2 utilization technologies. Recently, a highly active catalyst made of Ni/ZrO2 for methanation has been developed, and is currently investigated as a potential use in a high-performance reactor. However, design of reactor must be carried out carefully, since this reaction is highly exothermic, which may cause reactor runaway and deterioration of catalysts. For this problem, a mathematical model that can predict the behavior inside the reactor is necessary. In this work, we consider the methanation reaction of CO2 in a reactor model and estimate the kinetic parameters in the reaction rate model from experimental data. In the parameter estimation using literature values and Tikhonov regularization, eight kinetic parameters in the rate equations were identified from 64 data points with a wide range of conditions. We confirm that molar fractions at the reactor exit predicted by this reactor model are in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, the developed model was validated to predict the compositions and temperature that were not used in the estimation. We expect the developed model will be a powerful tool for the reactor design.

A data processing method to automatically assign molecular formula and correct the abundances was developed and used to improve the reliability and quantitative accuracy of data obtained via Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. The technique was applied to analyze fractions of atmospheric residue, and assigned molecular formula for each fraction. The algorithm automatically identified nearly 20,000 heavy oil components. The reliability of the data processing technique was demonstrated by absolute mean mass errors in the range of 0.15-0.23 ppm. Distillation simulation was used to correct the abundances of assigned molecular formula. The distillation properties were estimated from the molecular formula, and corrections made to match the simulated results within 1 wt.%. The correction factor demonstrated that lower boiling point components tended to require higher correction factors, suggesting that the ion transport efficiency of the instrument becomes lower in the lower molecular weight region.

The three-dimensional aggregated structural models of two types of coals, A and B, were constructed. It is found that the density and the Tg of the models were qualitatively consistent with values obtained experimentally. The Tg of coals A and B calculated using the model structures are 315°C and 328°C, respectively. The effect of temperature on the distribution of cohesive energy was quantitatively elucidated using the three-dimensional aggregated structural models. The cohesive energy density (CED) of coal B was greater than that of coal A at temperatures <Tg. However, at temperatures >Tg, the CED of coal A is comparable to that of coal B. This implies that the molecules are more strongly aggregated in coal B than in coal A at low temperatures due to hydrogen bonding, and the intermolecular interaction is considered to have gradually relaxed above the Tg. It is concluded that differences in the molecular and cohesive structures of the coals led to differences in the distribution of van der Waals energy and electric energy at different temperatures. The van der Waals energy changed from attraction to repulsion at about 450°C and 285°C in coal A and B, respectively. Electric energy remained an attractive force as the temperature increased. The mechanism of the 13°C difference in the calculated Tg of each coal can be explained by the temperature change in the intermolecular force distribution. Therefore, this three-dimensional aggregated structural model can be used to understand the thermal behavior of aggregated molecules, such as coal thermoplasticity.

Researchers have thoroughly studied coal pyrolysis over a long period, while the analysis of volatile evolution and the chemical structural changes of solid char were carried out individually in most of the studies. In this work, we quantified the chemical reactions to explain the different physical phenomena, such as softening and caking properties, exhibited by different ranks of coals during pyrolysis. Four typical carbonaceous feedstocks (bituminous, sub-bituminous, lignite coals, and biomass) were selected as test samples. The authors analyzed the generated gas during pyrolysis by using a quadrupole mass spectrometer (Q-MS) and the chemical structure of the pyrolyzed char via spectroscopic methods (NMR, FT-IR, CHNS, and XPS) to gain new insights into the pyrolysis mechanism of the carbonaceous feedstocks. Transferable hydrogen was introduced to define the hydrogen used to stable the free radicals formed during pyrolysis, which can be obtained by quantifying the conversion routes of hydrogen. The hydrogen released for the growth of aromatic clusters has three pathways, namely, (1) consumption by the hydrodeoxygenation reaction to produce pyrolytic vapor, (2) release as gaseous H2, and (3) transferable hydrogen. The calculation shows that the amount of transferable hydrogen during pyrolysis decreases as the coal rank gets lower. For pyrolysis up to 500°C, the amount of transferable hydrogen is 3.96, 2.32, and 1.36 mol/kg-coal for bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite coals, respectively. On the other hand, the transferable hydrogen of biomass needs to be further considered in terms of the effect of cellulose and hemicellulose’s structure.

Large-eddy simulation (LES) coupling with a non-adiabatic flamelet progress variable (NA-FPV) approach with reconstructed flamelet chemistry states is employed to simulate the hot coke oven gas (HCOG) reforming process. In the NA-FPV model, the chemistry states are first computed based on the correction factor for enthalpy defects and then modified by substituting the species statistics in the maximum heat loss state with those of less heat release to compensate for the unphysical results. The numerical results of LES coupling this NA-FPV model have been compared with the experimental measurement data in terms of temperature and yields, and reasonable agreements have been achieved. According to the LES results, it is seen O2 only participates in the combustion process in the upper stream and the combustion process which mainly consumes H2 and CO is to provide the other reforming process with heat and steam. In the upper and middle streams, the main HCOG jet is wrapped by the swirling high-temperature combustion products, and the reforming process primarily takes place by consuming CH4, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and steam, while considerable H2, CO, and CO2 are produced. It is observed that accompanying the reforming process C2H2 is generated and it peaks in the middle stream, thus it is considered soot is formed in the complex reactions.

Development of a kinetic model for CO2 methanation over a commercial nickel catalyst was performed to consider pathways of CO2 conversion via Sabatier and RWGS reactions. H2/CO2 ratio in the feed gas composition was varied at the stoichiometry of the Sabatier reaction assuming a fictitious CO2 conversion of 0 to 0.7. Non-stochiometric gas feeding and the addition of product gases, i.e., methane and steam, were also considered to examine reaction orders and inhibition effects. The kinetic tests were carried out at 300–350 °C and 0.1–0.9 MPa. GHSV corresponded to 37,494 h−1. The stable activity was achieved by forcibly stressing the catalyst under the equilibria at 500 °C for 35 h. The kinetic measurements were conducted at an isothermal differential fixed bed reactor in the absence of heat and mass transport limitations. The methanation reaction was first fitted with the power law and LH approaches by considering the Sabatier reaction. Then, the RWGS reaction was added to consider CO formation using the power law models. The results showed a better fitting of experimental observations by using the LH expression with the formation of formyl as RDS and the power law model with inhibiting influence of water.

Spontaneous combustion property of low rank coal, an important issue in coal science, has been substantially studied. However, there are few studies discussing quantitative chemical structural changes of coal during its oxidization under 80°C. In the present study, low rank coals of X and Y were oxidized in an adiabatic vessel where their temperature was increased due to spontaneous heating. Generated gases of H2O, CO2, and CO were analyzed by gas chromatography during the oxidization. As a result, coal Y, which was more easily oxidized than coal X, showed higher generation rate of CO2 and CO gas than coal X. Some of H2O generated during the oxidation must have been remained in coal as adsorbed water since the amount of water in the oxidized coal was higher than that before oxidation. 13C MAS NMR spectra of coal X and Y indicated that and chemical reaction producing carboxyl acid in coal Y is more activated than that in coal X. Furthermore, the number of aromatic carbon was reduced during the oxidization. It implied that the aromatic carbon might contribute to oxidization reaction. Coal Y before oxidation had smaller number of aromatic carbon per one cluster than coal X, while the structural parameters of aliphatic carbons in coal X and Y were almost the same. It is considered that smaller number of aromatic carbons more destabilize carbon radicals to generate “active” species. Such active carbon radicals are suggested to also react with oxygen in the atmosphere.

Lignin is one of the most promising biopolymers for producing hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds in nature. Electrochemical conversion of lignin is regarded as an attractive technology for producing various aromatic chemicals which are generally derived from fossil fuels. The author reports an electrochemical approach for hydrogenating alkaline lignin (AL), which uses relatively low-cost Ni foam as a working electrode under alkali electrolyte. The primary factors (such as power input, reactor type, temperature, reaction time, catalysts, and electrode substrates) of electrochemical hydrogenation were used to control the products' yield and features. The redox characteristics of the reaction system were directly compared with the cyclic voltammetry measurement under different parameters. After electrochemical hydrogenation (ECH), rapid pyrolysis was conducted on HAL samples to investigate the influence of electrochemical reactions on lignin. The maximum olefins and aromatics yield from HAL was increased to more than three times AL, accounting for 2.22 wt% and 4.07 wt%, respectively. Then, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis (EA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR were employed to characterize hydrogenated lignin samples (HAL), as well as gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was conducted to investigate the oil-phase products. This work focused on this electrochemical hydrogenation coupled with rapid pyrolysis process to give a possibility that converting lignin into not only liquid oil products, but solid hydrogenated lignin can be used to produce more olefins and aromatics in rapid pyrolysis, and presented the advantages and disadvantages of this two-stage process finally.

Electrochemical reduction of CO2comprising the CO2reduction reactuib (CO2RR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the most promising technologies for electrification of the chemical process industry. Here, the performance of a electrocatalyst with a three-dimensional structure of InZnCu on Cu foam (CF) is presented. This electrocatalyst was fabricated by electrodeposition of In and Zn over Cu and exhibited a superior reduction of CO2to CO at a Faradaic efficiency of 93.7% at -0.7 V and an excellently long duration of 100 h. Due to the synergy of the thin In layer, the Zn nanosheets provided a high surface-active area and strong mechanical robustness during the reaction. Additionally, a two-electrode system was constructed based on the CF-modified surface, which provided valuable guidelines on the overall CO2RR-OER system for further evolution. Furthermore, due to the facile synthesis, the bimetal-layer double hydroxide (LDH) exhibited high conductivity and high OER performance. Hence, the two-electrode system assembled excellent electrocatalysts for the CO2RR-OER (InZnCu/CF||Cu(OH)2NWs@NiCo-LDH/CF) with high conversions of CO2to CO of 67% and 88% at 2 and 50 mA cm-2, respectively. Notably, the CO2RR-OER system exhibited excellent stability in a 40 h CO2conversion with a constant current density of 2 mA cm-2at an ultralow voltage of 1.59 V. Moreover, the calculation of the energy input converting CO per ton of CO2resulted in a low energy input range for further development in scalability. This overall CO2RR-OER proposes development in electrochemical CO2reduction for industrial applications.

In order to upgrade biomass-derived platform chemicals to high value-added chemicals and liquid fuels, it is highly advantageous and desirable to synthesize suitable non-precious bimetallic catalysts that are efficient and versatile in chemical reactions. Equal moles of Ni and Cu were dispersed on varying mole ratios of Al by the co-precipitation method to synthesize Ni-Cu alloy particles to obtain a maximum yield of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) by the liquid phase hydrogenation of furfural. The nickel species were active for both the furan ring (C=C) and carbonyl group (C=O) of furfural molecule, while Cu species were highly active for only the carbonyl group of furfural molecule. Systematic characterization of the prepared catalysts by XRD, TPR, STEM-EDS, and XPS analysis revealed the formation of highly active Ni-Cu alloys and near-equal Ni/Cu surface contents were achieved for the equimolar catalyst, which showcased a maximum of 98 mol% yield of THFA at 140 °C, 30 bar, 4 h. The reaction pressure and temperature showed a substantial effect on the product yield. The solvent selection also influenced the product selectivity, particularly with 2-butanol, which promoted the reaction with its hydrogen donor capacity and supported the ring hydrogenation of FAL to THFA. Moreover, the reduced Ni1Cu1-Al1 catalyst displayed good recyclability for three runs and an equal activity to that of a fresh catalyst after the regeneration.

The Sabatier process is a competitive technology applied for carbon capture and utilization. This process increases the risk of carbon deposition and catalyst thermal degradation because of its exothermic property. In this study, a CFD model verified through existing experimental data was established to systematically investigate the Sabatier process in a shell-and-tube reactor. The effects arising from several operating parameters (e.g., gas flow rate, feed gas composition, the thermal conductivity of catalyst pellet, the inlet temperature of cooling phase, as well as phase change refrigeration) on temperature profile and reaction performance were studied. Moreover, a mechanism of three reactions was investigated, including CO2 methanation, CO methanation, as well as RWGS reaction. Furthermore, the competition between CO2 methanation and RWGS reaction was explored. According to the further sensitivity analysis, increasing the thermal conductivity of the catalyst particles would be effective to inhibit hot spots, while keeping the carbon conversion rate unchanged.

A fast and easy handled batch air diffusion method (BA) was developed to obtain a non-pyrophoric, air-stable skeletal Co catalyst (A-SCo) for catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of ethyl levulinate (EL) into γ-valerolactone (GVL). A batch air diffusion method (BA) consumed the active adsorbed H2 on the surface of skeletal Co (SCo) but maintained structure catalyst and avoided excessive oxidation of metallic Co, Ni and Al. The 96% yield of GVL was obtained over the A-SCo and HZSM-5 at 140 °C. Further study of CTH process shows that metallic state of A-SCo provides important active sites for dehydrogenation of i-PrOH, which is critical step for hydrogenation of EL. This study provides a simple, efficient method to prepare an air-stable skeletal metal catalyst for CTH and hydrogenation process.

Major global issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and the excessive use of fossil fuels lead to looking for sustainable and clean energy resources. Lignocellulosic biomass is a prospective resource for sustainable carbon-based energy. The production of petroleum-based green fuels, chemicals, and solvents from biomass-derived products has garnered much attention in the recent past. The study of biomass derivatives hydrogenation improves the efficiency of generating high-value chemicals and provides much-needed insights into the primary reaction mechanism for the effective utilization of raw constituents or biomass. However, the existing thermochemical conversions of biomass and biomass-derived products such as thermal catalytic hydrogenation (TCH) involve energy-intensive and expensive processes. In this regard, sustainable energy generation attracts alternative conversion technologies, including electrochemical conversion (ECC), electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH), and photocatalytic conversions that can be directly integrated with renewable wind/solar technologies and operated at ambient or lower temperatures. The role of electrocatalyst and electrolyte is pivotal to achieve efficient and selective ECH of biomass organics. This review paper summarizes the utilization of TCH and ECH processes on cellulose/hemicellulose, lignin, and their derivatives/model compounds, including catalyst types, reaction conditions, hydrogenation efficiency, and technical limitations. The advantages and disadvantages of the two technologies for biomass utilization have also been compared, which provides a more favourable knowledge base and theoretical basis for the subsequent research work.

Durability and fire hazard risk evaluations were conducted to determine the process feasibility of a unique phase separation solvent with a low regeneration temperature (90 °C) consisting of an amine, ether, and a small amount of water. The results are as follows. I) The amine degradation rate of the phase separation solvent was determined to be less than 1/10 of that of monoethanolamine, which was attributed to the high oxidative resistance and low regeneration temperature of the former. II) The composition of the gas that formed in the absorber was completely out of the combustible range during the treatment of 6% oxygen-containing gas on a dry basis. Therefore, we believe that this phase separation solvent is applicable to the treatment of exhaust gas from coal-fired thermal power plants and can realize stable operation with a small amount of amine required for replenishment.

We studied local structure of diethylene glycol diethyl ether (DEGDEE)-water mixtures near the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) by means of simultaneous small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering measurement and thermodynamic calculation based on the activity coefficient model. Long-wavelength limits of structure factors SNN(0), SCC(0), and SNC(0), which respectively represent mean square fluctuations in the particle number, the concentration, and their cross correlation, are determined from scattering intensity extrapolated to the zero scattering vector and thermodynamic quantities according to the Bhatia and Thornton formula. SNN(0) and SCC(0) exhibit maxima near critical concentration. We found that difference between partial molar volumes of water and DEGDEE essentially results in SNN(0) values being one order of magnitude larger than SCC(0) values. Further, we determined Kirkwood-Buff (KB) integrals to clarify a mixing state of the solution from a mesoscopic point of view. The KB integrals also exhibit extrema near critical concentration. These results demonstrate self-segregations of both DEGDEE and water in a nanometer length scale even at homogeneous solution states, which can be regarded as a precursor of the macroscopic phase separation. Concentration dependence of the wide-angle scattering curve suggests that the short-range structure, whose length scale is sub-nanometer, moderately changes between the intrinsic bulk structures of DEGDEE and water. Comparison of the KB integrals with those determined by the activity coefficient model using non-random two-liquid equation is presented and effects of the fluctuation on the phase behavior are discussed.

The chemical structure models for the extractions and residues of two types of bituminous coals, A and B, were constructed. The molecular weights of the extractions were determined via gel permeation chromatography (GPC). New standard materials with structures similar to those of coal extraction (i.e., 9, 10- diphenylanthracene, 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthracene, and chemical compounds A (Mw = 811) and B (Mw = 1 135), which were synthesized using the coupling reaction) were adopted for GPC in order to obtain more accurate mean molecular weights than those in literature. Furthermore, a support program for constructing chemical structure models based on 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra was adopted. The coal models constructed suitably indicate the differences between the types of coal. In particular, it is found that a high pyridine-insoluble fraction extracted rate, which accounts for the most significant difference between the total extracted rates for coals A and B, enhance the coking property of coal A. In addition, the cluster size in the magic solvent-insoluble fraction might affect the softening property of coal.

Methanation of CO2 using H2 obtained by renewable energy sources has been gaining attention as one of the promising options for utilizing captured CO2 and surplus power obtained when intermittent power sources such as solar and wind energy are used. Herein, kinetics of CO2 methanation over Ni/ZrO2 was studied using a tubular quartz reactor at 0.9 MPa. The Sabatier reaction (CO2 + 4H2 = CH4 + 2H2O, ΔHr298K = – 165 kJ mol–1) was carried out under stoichiometric gas feeding (CO2/H2 = 1/4 v/v to CH4/H2O = 1/2 v/v), and its reaction rate was determined. The exothermic nature of CO2 methanation and extremely high catalytic activities increased the reaction temperature to 400–600 °C even when the feed-gas temperature was as low as 250–400 °C, and the gas hourly space velocity was as high as 3 × 106 h–1. Nonlinear regression analyses based on one- and multistep kinetic models were used to investigate the reaction rates to estimate the kinetic parameters. Both models with optimized parameters can reproduce the experimentally obtained CH4 formation rates for the entire range of the feed-gas conversion with a coefficient of determination (R2) of over 0.98.

This paper presents an alternative concept of CO2 capture that can substantially reduce the energy required for CO2 capture by utilizing unused cold energy. The heat of vaporization of liquefied natural gas (LNG), of which the boiling point is 110 K, is a possible candidate for unused cold energy. This technology is based on a pressure swing amine process combined with a sublimation tank to cool CO2 released from a desorber into dry ice by exchanging the LNG cold energy. The feature of this technology is that pure CO2 is recovered mostly by a pressure swing that decreases the pressure in the desorber utilizing a cryogenic pump with CO2 sublimation instead of a mechanical pump. We developed an amine-based absorbent that can realize the proposed process for exhaust gas from a fossil fuel-fired power plant. A process simulation indicated that the required energy is as low as 0.25 GJ/ton CO2 when both the absorber and the desorber are operated at around 313 K, the desorber pressure is reduced to 1 kPa, and the sublimation tank is operated at 150 K.

The biomass-derived N-doped porous carbons have been proved promising adsorbent material, due to their good CO2/N2 selectivity and excellent CO2 adsorption performance. However, many researchers simply studied the effect of nitrogen groups or narrow micropores (less than 0.7 nm) on CO2 uptake at 1 bar and ignored the role of different pressures. In this study, a promising porous carbon derived from eucalyptus bark with high CO2 adsorption capacity was prepared by urea-assisted hydrothermal and KOH activation. The obtained porous carbons were found to be mainly microporous and showed rich nitrogen content. Among the materials, at 1 bar, NPC700 exhibits high CO2 adsorption of 4.20 mmol/g and 6.98 mmol/g at 25 °C and 0 °C, respectively. Based on Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation, the adsorption density and adsorption energy on graphite slit pore with different pore sizes (0.6–2.0 nm) and N-doped functional groups (pyridinic-N, pyrrole-N and graphitic-N) were calculated. And the results showed that the nitrogen functional groups played a crucial contribution on CO2 adsorption capacity at relative low pressure (0–0.16 bar). In the case of relative high pressure (0.16–1 bar), the narrow micropores volume determined the CO2 uptake capacity.

The Sabatier process is promising for carbon dioxide utilization and energy storage. However, the serious problem that limits more comprehensive industrial applications is catalyst deactivation due to the temperature runaway phenomenon. The inert particle dilution approach, including the mixing dilution method and layered dilution method is applied to solve this problem. Based on the lattice kinetic scheme-lattice Boltzmann method (LKS-LBM), the effects of three parameters in bed dilution structure reconstructed by the discrete element method (DEM) on temperature distribution and carbon conversion rate were discussed, so as to investigate the relationship between packing structure and temperature distribution. Furthermore, numerical results indicated that an optimal bed dilution structure, which not only can control the peak temperature below the critical temperature to avoid coking and sintering of catalyst, but also can improve the conversion rate by almost 18% compared with the structure without dilution under the same circumstance.

A sequential method that deterministically estimates the molecular composition of heavy oil is reported. A sample of vacuum residua is preseparated into seven fractions: saturated (Sa), aromatic fractions containing one, two, and three or more rings (1A, 2A, and 3A+, respectively), polar and polyaromatic (Po and PA, respectively) resins, and asphaltene (As). The analysis by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) uses one of three different ionization methods depending on the type of structure. Paraffinic species in Sa are ionized by Ag cationization and laser desorption. Aromatic species in 1A, 2A, 3A+, and Po are ionized by atmospheric pressure photoionization. Poorly volatile and condensed aromatic species in PA and As are ionized by laser desorption ionization. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) is used by the FT-ICR MS instrument to determine the structural building blocks. A new data analysis protocol developed to represent petroleum molecules named the composition and structure analyzer (CSA) requires data obtained before and after CID as inputs. The CSA provides juxtaposed attributes for chemical-structure description (JACDs). Structural information based on JACDs can be used to predict physical and chemical properties such as boiling and melting points and solubility parameters and build attribute-based reaction models, to optimize heavy oil upgrading processes.

Viscosity and density of amine absorbents affect directly their flow, which is involved in the process design and simulation of carbon dioxide capture. A mixture of 2-(ethyl amino) ethanol (EAE), diethylene glycol diethyl ether (DEGDEE), and water changes its phase from homogeneous to two-liquid ones on CO2 absorption. It is difficult to calculate the viscosity and density of this phase separation solution, especially those of quaternary-component phases. In this research, models to calculate the density and viscosity of the quaternary-component system of EAE/DEGDEE/water/carbamate were suggested based on nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL)-DVOL and NRTL-DVIS models. Given the component concentrations, these models can replicate well the viscosity and density of the solutions. A good calculation result with a few numbers of parameters makes the models simple and easy to use.

Valorization and utilization of lignin have been drawing increasing attention recently. Hydroprocess is one of the main technologies, which can reduce organic compounds and partially depolymerize the macromolecular structure of lignin. The mechanism of lignin hydroprocess has been extensively discussed focusing on hydrogenolysis. In contrast, the solid residue regarded as unreacted or depolymerized lignin has drawn less attention so far. This study proposes an integrated process that consists of catalytic hydrogenation and subsequent fast pyrolysis for valorizing lignin. The results showed that 48−87 wt.% of solid product could be recovered as hydrogenated lignin (H-EOL) after hydrogenation at 200–250 ℃ for 1−7 h. Chemical structure of H-EOL was comprehensively investigated by means of elemental analysis, FTIR, 13C & 1H NMR, and TGA. Furthermore, behavior of fast pyrolysis of H-EOL was detected here for the first time. H-EOL has higher hydrogen to carbon atomic effective ratio(H/Ceff ratio) and achieves the increasing reactivity of thermal decomposition. H-EOL yields light olefins double as much as raw ethanol organosolv lignin (EOL). And the formation of alkanes (C1-C4), benzene, and toluene was promoted to various degrees, while the yield of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and vapor decreased. A novel and efficient pretreatment method has been provided to valorize lignin, which is instructive for subsequent research.

An approach in predicting reactions undergone by coal volatiles in a reducing section (reductor) of an air-blown two-stage entrained flow gasifier toward designing a better gasification process was proposed. A detailed chemical kinetic model was applied to simulate chemical reactions of a complex molecular mixture of the coal volatiles evolved due to rapid pyrolysis of coal fed into the reductor. The composition of volatiles was determined based on pyrolysis-gas chromatography experiments, where 22 compounds, including inorganic gases (H2, H2O, CO and CO2), light hydrocarbon gases (C1–C4), and aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene to pyrene) were identified. Gas composition at the reductor inlet was estimated by integrating the information on the experimentally obtained molecular composition of the volatiles, and the thermodynamically calculated composition of inorganic gases generated from the combustor and the coal feeding rates into reductor and combustor. Concentration profiles of the individual chemical species, as well as soot particles together with the flow direction of the reductor, were revealed using an extended detailed chemical kinetic model involving 202 species, 1351 gas-phase reactions, and 101 surface reactions for soot formation and growth. The simulation revealed that near-complete decomposition of tar regarded as a set of all aromatic hydrocarbons is likely to require operation temperature of the reductor at temperatures as high as 1200°C, when the combustor is operated at 1800°C.

This review presents the recent advances in computational approaches to understand thermochemical reactions of solid fuels with minimized empirical factors. It includes studies on kinetic modeling of gas-phase reactions of multicomponent molecular mixtures of volatiles derived from primary pyrolysis of solid fuels using a database for elementary reactions. Mechanistic studies to model the devolatilization of biomass and coal upon heating are also mentioned. The efforts to integrate the kinetic model with computational fluid dynamics to understand the flow and heat transfer behavior of industrial reactors for solid fuel conversions, including gasification and combustion, are reviewed. These advances are primarily based on the conventional forward analysis that provides a deeper understanding of chemically reacting flows of fuels undergoing thermochemical reactions. For the further development of the thermochemical conversion technology, it can be expected to develop alternative approaches such as inverse analysis to determine the optimal reactor design and operating conditions.

The current state of lignin has been characterized by these three: (1) as one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass with an abundant amount; (2) not be taken seriously but treated as a waste product; (3) underutilized due to a complex and stubborn structure. However, lignin can be a rich source for hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds when gives appropriate utilization. In this work, we have studied the hydrotreatment of alkaline lignin (AL) under relatively mild conditions and further investigated the characterization of hydrogenated lignin (HL), especially the behavior during fast pyrolysis. The recovery of the HL decreased with increasing reaction temperature from 60 wt.% to 41 wt.% in the range of 150–250 ℃. The hydrotreated products were analyzed using Elemental Analysis, FTIR (for HL) and GC–MS (for bio-oil). The HL samples were found to have a higher hydrogen/carbon atomic effective ratio (H/Ceff ratio) and a higher degree of saturation than AL. Compared to the internal structure of the lignin before and after hydrotreatment, the side chain groups were removed from AL during the process. After that, from the fast pyrolysis of HL, it was observed that more light hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds were formed than that of AL. Furthermore, fast pyrolysis in the hydrogen atmosphere revealed that more volatile fractions were released compared to the Helium atmosphere. The total olefins yield was increased for HL compared AL from 1.02 wt.% to 3.1 wt.% at 250 ℃ for 7 hours. This study of HL is instructive to some extent for the industrial utilization of lignin.

This work presents the formation of butyl levulinate, a potential fuel additive, and an excellent renewable chemical obtained by the butanolysis of furfuryl alcohol (FAL) over a solid acid catalyst. The butanolysis of furfuryl alcohol reaction is a strong function of acidity for which tungstated zirconia (WO3-ZrO2), a robust solid acid catalyst, and a sulfonated carbon catalyst were employed to produce high yields of butyl levulinate targeting a lower initial molar ratio of butanol to FAL. A maximum of 28 mol% yield of butyl levulinate was obtained with tungstated zirconia catalyst. Easily prepared sulfonated carbon catalyst at high reaction temperatures facilitated the complete conversion of reaction intermediate, 2-butoxymethylfuran (2-BMF) through which butyl levulinate was formed, and as high as 80 mol% of butyl levulinate yield was produced at an initial mole ratio of 8.5:1 of butanol to FAL. The better results of sulfonated carbon catalyst could be attributed to the presence of -SO3H, carboxylic acid, and phenolic OH groups on the carbon surface.

Durability and fire hazard risk evaluation were conducted to determine the process feasibility on the unique phase separation solvent with low regeneration temperature (90 °C), consisting of amine, ether, and small amount of water. The results we obtained are as follows; I) The amine degradation rate of the phase separation solvent would be less than 1/10 of that of monoethanolamine (MEA), which was contributed by its high oxidative resistant nature and low regeneration temperature. II) The gas composition formed in the absorber was completely out of combustible range and almost no accumulations of explosive compounds such as peroxides were observed when in contact with 6 % oxygen containing gas (dry base). Therefore, we believe that the phase separation solvent is applicable to the treatment of exhaust gas from coal-fired thermal power plants.

This solvent is characterized by regeneration at a low temperature of less than 100°C. As a result, it was clarified that under ideal conditions with no pressure drop and no heat loss, the required energy could be suppressed to 1.5 GJ/ton-CO2 by satisfying the following conditions; i) pinch point of the heat exchanger between rich-amine and lean-amine: 1 °C, ii) water concentration of the solvent: kept at 10 wt%, iii) COP of the heat pump: 5.5. However, increase of the pinch point, increase of the water concentration, and decrease of the COP will all result in a significant increase in the required energy. Therefore, in order to realize a process with low energy consumption, it is essential to meet these design constraints.

An amine solvent that undergoes phase change after absorption of CO2 has been studied to reduce the energy consumed during the CO2 capture process. Depending on the components of the solvent, the CO2-rich phase can be separated for the regeneration step or the component in CO2-lean phase accelerates the regeneration step in the solvent that undergoes liquid-liquid phase change. Since the homogeneous solvent separates into two liquid phases after CO2 absorption, an analysis method to track the change in chemical species during the absorption process, especially at the phase separation time, is necessary to illuminate the phenomenon. To establish an online method to analyze the components of the solvent, a Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer equipped with an attenuated total reflection (ATR) probe was used during the CO2 absorption of phase separation solvent composed of amine, ether, and water. The calibration samples of amines, ethers, and CO2-loaded solutions were used to develop the partial least square regression model. The consumption of reactants, as well as the formation of products, can be monitored quantitatively using the FT-IR spectra. Utilizing this information, the changes in the chemical species shed light on the phase separation mechanism of this solvent: ether was pushed out of the solvent to form a CO2-lean phase due to its hydrophobicity, while CO2 and its products along with amine and water remain in the CO2-rich phase. Without sampling, this rapid and high-accuracy method is suitable for closed processes, especially for a high-pressure process.

In this study, we evaluated the CO2 absorption characteristics of a phase-separation amine absorbent. The phase-separation absorbent consists of a 30:60:10 (by weight percent) mixture of 2-(ethylamino)ethanol, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, and water. The CO2 absorption rate of the phase-separation absorbent was measured in a lab-scale counter flow absorber. In addition, the CO2 transport phenomena in the absorber were analyzed by performing model fitting. The experimental results revealed that the CO2 absorption rates are different before and after phase separation. In fact, the overall CO2 absorption capacity coefficient after phase separation is 4.5 times higher than that obtained before phase separation. By changing the gas-liquid ratio, we obtained a CO2 recovery ratio of over 80% using the model. Thus, the absorption temperature, CO2 loading, and gas-liquid ratio can be tuned to obtain the desired CO2 recovery ratio.

Kinetics of thermal decomposition of benzene on lignite-derived char was investigated at 900 °C by applying a new method to continuously monitor the char surface activity. Benzene vapor was continuously forced to pass through a micro fixed bed of char with residence time as short as 7.6 ms, and then detected continuously by a flame-ionization detector. Results showed the presence of two different types of char surfaces; consumptive Type I surface and non-consumptive (sustainable) Type II surface. Type I surface of a partially CO2-gasified char had an capacity of carbon deposit from benzene over 20 wt%-char and an initial activity (represented by a first-order rate constant) as high as 160 s−1. Both of them decreased with increasing carbon deposit due to consumption of micropores accessible to benzene, and finally became zero leaving Type II surface that had a very stable activity with rate constant of 4 s−1. The chars without gasification had capacities of Type I surfaces smaller by two orders of magnitude than the partially gasified char, while the Type II surfaces had activities similar to that of the partially gasified char. It was found that Type II surface converted benzene into not only carbon deposit but also diaromatics and even greater aromatics. Composition of the greater aromatics was unknown because they were deposited onto the reactor wall immediately after passing through the char bed.

Inherent metallic species retained by coal char or coke, such as Na and Ca, behave as catalysts in gasification. The char/coke normally contains inherent SiO2, which can react with the inherent catalysts to form silicates, resulting in catalyst deactivation over the range of pyrolysis, carbonization and gasification, and thereby reducing the char/coke reactivity. The present authors simulated the inherent catalyst deactivation experimentally by blending a Victorian lignite with SiO2, briquetting the SiO2/lignite blend, carbonizing the briquette, and then gasifying the coke with CO2. The kinetic analysis of the gasification employed a comprehensive model, which assumed progress in parallel of non-catalytic and catalytic gasification. The model quantitatively described the measured kinetics of the coke gasification with different SiO2 contents over a range of coke conversion up to 99.9%. The kinetic analysis revealed that the SiO2 deactivated substantial and entire portions of the most active catalyst and its precursor, respectively, before the gasification (i.e., during the carbonization). The catalyst deactivation also occurred during the gasification, but mainly following a self-deactivation mechanism that involved no silicates formation.

A total of 18 chars from the pyrolysis of six trios of sugar cane bagasses (SCBs; original, water-washed, and acid-washed) were gasified with CO2 at 900 °C, aiming at a quantitative description of the rate of gasification catalyzed by inherent metallic species and a correlation of the catalytic activity and its change during the gasification with the metallic species composition. The measured kinetics was described quantitatively over a range of char conversion, 0-0.999, by a model that assumed progress in parallel of the catalytic gasification and non-catalytic gasification, together with the presence of a catalytic precursor and three to four types of catalysts having different activities and deactivation characteristics. A series of regression analyses was scrutinized and reached expression of initial catalytic activity as a linear function of Na, K, Ca, Fe, and Si concentrations in the char with a correlation factor (r2) of >0.98. The catalyst precursor contributed fully by water-soluble Na, K, and Ca. Si was responsible for the catalyst deactivation during the pyrolysis but not during the gasification. The chars produced from original SCBs followed a linear relationship between the initial catalytic deactivation rate and initial activity (r2 > 0.99), while such a linear relationship was not valid for those formed from the water-washed SCBs. This was explained mainly by more rapid deactivation of the Fe catalyst in the chars from water-washed SCBs than that in the chars formed from the original SCBs. Na and K in char from the original SCBs, originating from the water-soluble SCBs, chemically interacted with the Fe catalyst, slowing its deactivation.

We have developed the phase separation solvent for CO2 capture. Our developed solvent consists amine, organic solvent and water and shows single liquid phase before CO2 absorption though it shows two liquid phases after CO2 absorption. Feature of phase separation solvent is reducing temperature difference between absorber and stripper. We apply the heat pump system for CO2 separation and evaluate the energy consumption. Low temperature swing process saves energy requirement for CO2 capture process with highly-effective reaction-heat recovering. To evaluate the CO2 capture system with our solvent, screening test for amine and organic solvent combination and CO2 solubility measurement were examined. In the phase separation test, three types of solvents were obtained by combining amine and ether, that is, no phase separation with CO2 scrubbing, phase separation with CO2 scrubbing, and thoroughly immiscible. The phase behaviour depends on the hydrophobicity of amines or organic solvents, and the types of solvents were classified using the hydrophobic parameter.

In this study, we investigated current situation of biomass gasification plants in 5 cities (c.a. Murayama City, Chichibu City, Ueno Village, Oshu City and Yamaguchi City) in Japan, and make R&D policy proposals to expand the biomass gasification plants. Four cities have commonly promoted the efficient heat utilization such as snow melting, drying the wood and supplying hot water into mushroom bed and hot spring. However, heat utilization is limited in a small area because heat loss is generated during the long-distance transportation. In order to obtain energy forms suitable for the long-distance transportation, such as hydrogen gas and electricity, the R&D of biomass gasification with hydrogen production or combined with Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) should be promoted in the future.

At first, we checked the phase phenomena of 9 types of amine and 3 types of polyether combinations. There shows three types; keeping one liquid phase before and after CO₂ absorption, transforming into two liquid phase after CO₂ absorption, forming initially two liquid phases. CO₂ solubility of the developed phase separation solvent was measured. The results show that the phase separation solvent can reduce the temperature difference between absorber and desorber than that of conventional amine solvent.

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is a kind of high value-added compound in industry, which can be obtained from biomass chemical engineering. However, Synthesis of THFA under mild condition with green hydrogen donors remains a big challenge. In this article, a supported Ni catalyst derived from Ni−Al hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTs) as precursors for the reduction of furfuryl alcohol (FA) into THFA with NaBH4 as reducing agent in water was first reported. As a result, Ni/Al2O3−HT exhibited high catalytic activity for the transformation, and THFA was achieved in 100 % yield at 60 °C for 60 min. Moreover, Ni/Al2O3−HT could be recycled at least seven times without the loss of its activity. Under optimized conditions, the reduction reaction of several furan and ketone compounds was investigated. A possible mechanism for the reduction of FA to afford THFA was also proposed.

In order to further enhance catalytic activity and inhibit carbon formation, the hierarchical structure-performance relationship has been investigated in dry reforming of methane (DRM). A modified random generation of macro-mesopores (RGMMP) algorithm was adopted to model the structure of the catalyst with macropore and mesopore. Based on multi-component non-continuum reaction-diffusion lattice Boltzmann model, the effects of three hierarchical pore geometrical parameters, namely the catalyst porosity, the ratio of mesopore volume to macropore volume and the ratio of average macropore diameter to average mesopore diameter, on coke formation and catalytic performance were investigated to elucidate the deactivation and reaction-diffusion mechanism of the catalyst in DRM. Based on the competitive relationship between heterogeneous reaction and intraparticle diffusion, the optimal values to define hierarchical pore structure have been identified, which provides maximum catalytic performance and coking resistance for a reaction condition.

Developing energy-saving absorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential for improving carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Recently, we have designed phase separation solvents, which can significantly reduce the regeneration energy for CO2 capture and separation down to 1.6 GJ/ton-CO2 [ Machida, H.; et al. Int. J. Greenhouse Gas Control2018, 75, 1-7 ]. For further developing better solvents, this paper studied a theoretical approach with conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) to screen the amine/ether/water systems to identify phase separation solvents upon CO2 absorption. In this work, liquid-liquid equilibria of 21 amine/ether/water systems were determined both before and after CO2 absorption. Experimentally, it has already been demonstrated that the phase behavior of these systems is classified into three categories: phase separation type, miscible type, and immiscible type. This study demonstrates that the octanol/water partition coefficient is empirically able to search for a combination of amine and ether compounds, in which the system exhibits the phase separation behavior by absorbing CO2. The COSMO-RS calculations successfully reproduced experimental phase behavior with a rate of agreement of more than 80% by accounting the following two factors: (i) ion pairing for the description of the association/dissociation state for ionic species and (ii) relevant low-lying conformations of ether and amine, which are rationalized by experiments such as conductivity and excess enthalpy measurements. Moreover, we also validated the ability of the COSMO-RS calculation to qualitatively describe the compositions of 2-(ethylamino)ethanol, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, and water in CO2-rich and CO2-lean phases at varying CO2 loading conditions.

CO2 capture and utilization technology, such as converting CO2 to fuel or chemicals by renewable energy-derived H2, has been promoted for recent decades. Herein, a process is proposed that saves considerable amounts of energy by integrating the CO2 separation and conversion processes. In the case of the method of amine absorption, supplying H2 to the bottom of the desorber reduces the regeneration temperature, which can reduce the process exergy. If combined with reaction heat recovery using a heat pump system, a considerable amount of energy can be saved. The recovered mixture of CO2 and H2 gas is then used directly as a raw reaction material. Herein, the proposed stripping regeneration process is compared on theoretical and equilibrium bases, with the conventional monoethanolamine method and the phase-separation solvent method developed by the authors. Using the phase-separation solvent leads to lower energy in the stripping regeneration.

For three groups of systems - homogeneous, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid - absorption heats of carbon dioxide capture by amine solutions were determined with continuous calorimetry. In the case of a phase-separation solvent, the heat of phase separation is added to conventional absorption heat, and the loading range of heat of phase separation is important in process design. With the merits of continuous measurement, the phase-change loading points were obtained in liquid-liquid and solid-liquid phase-separation systems as the heat release of carbon dioxide products to achieve a more stable state. The loading points where a leap in absorption heat appears coincide with those where the turbidity in solvents changes, which was confirmed by ocular inspection in both systems. In liquid-liquid systems, the presence of water in 2-(ethylamino)ethanol:diethylene glycol diethyl ether:water contributes to the decrease in absorption heat. Even though the formation of bicarbonate is minor even in solvent with water, the increase in its formation contributes to this decrease in absorption heat because of its lower formation heat as compared to that of carbamate. In solid-liquid systems, a significant increase in absorption heat is attributed to the crystallization energy of carbonate salt emitted on the breakdown of the supersaturation.

Methanation is one of the promising candidates in developing CO2 utilization technology. Because of its exothermic behavior, the methanation reactor must be carefully designed to avoid the hotspots formation and the deterioration of catalysts. This study presents a numerical study simulates heat transfer between the reacting gas in a porous catalyst layer, reactor tube, and coolant in a shell-and-tube reactor. The aim is to develop a tool can predict the hotspots appearing in the reactor used in CO2 methanation. The open-source toolbox OpenFOAM is adopted and modified. The catalyst bed is assumed to be a continuous porous medium. The results revealed that the solver captures the trends of temperature profiles along both axial and radial directions. The maximum catalyst temperature predicted by this solver is in good agreement with the experimental result, indicating that the solver is a promising tool for future applications in reactor optimization and heat management.

Chars from 20 lignite samples were prepared from two types of original lignites by multistage removal of inherent metallic species and subsequent pyrolysis and then were gasified with CO2. A kinetic model, which assumed the progress of noncatalytic and catalytic gasification in parallel, quantitatively described the time-dependent changes in char conversion up to 0.999 for all the chars by employing multicatalytic species having different initial activities and deactivation kinetics. A single piecewise linear function, which followed a nucleation-growth mechanism of the catalysts, showed the relationship between the total concentration of Na, K, Ca, and Fe and the initial total catalytic activity (ICA-2) for the chars. The overall rate of catalyst deactivation (ICD-2) was given by a single linear function of ICA-2 and a factor for the composition of metallic species. This function was also applicable to previously reported ICA-2/ICD-2 relationships for chars from lignite and biomass, showing fast deactivation of Fe catalyst and an important role of Mg in the promotion of catalyst deactivation.

In continuation of the present authors' studies on production of high strength coke from lignite by sequential binderless hot briquetting and carbonization, this study has been carried out aiming at proposing methods to produce high strength coke from non-/slightly caking coals of subbituminous to bituminous rank. This paper firstly demonstrates preparation of cokes with cold tensile strengths above 10 MPa from two single non-caking coals (particle size; < 106 μm) by applying briquetting at temperature and mechanical pressure of over 200°C and 100 MPa, respectively. Such strength of coke is obtained over a wide range of heating rate, 3-30°C/min, during carbonization with final temperature of 1 000°C. Then, a simple pretreatment, fine pulverization of coal to particle sizes smaller than 10 or 5 μm, is examined. This pretreatment enables to prepare coke with tensile strength even over 25 MPa, by decreasing porosity of resulting coke and more extensively the size of macropores simultaneously. The coke strength changes with carbonization temperature having a particular feature; significant development of strength at 600-1 000°C, i.e., after completion of tar evolution, in which macropores and non-porous (dense) part of coke shrink in volume, inducing bonding and coalescence of particles and thereby arising the strength.

Chemical structure of coal is evolutionary changed during pyrolysis that accompanies gas release. The chemical structural change and gas formation profiles play important roles in determining caking property and physical properties such as strength and size of the resultant coke. However, analyses of volatile components and structural analysis of solid char have been mostly performed individually, and it is difficult to combine both and to obtain quantitative understanding on the thermal decomposition of coal at mechanistic level. In this study, simultaneous analyses of solid chemical structures of the heat treated coals and gas formation profiles were conducted for two kinds of coals that were pyrolyzed at an identical condition. On-line gas analysis with a quadrupole mass spectrometer and spectroscopic methods (NMR and FT-IR) were employed for quantitative evaluation of gas formation characteristics and solid chemical structure, respectively. The information obtained were then integrated to acquire new insight for coal pyrolysis mechanism. Here an approach to quantify the transferable hydrogen that contributes to stabilize radicals formed in pyrolyzing coal was proposed. It includes the quantitative assessment of aromatic cluster growth, decomposition of hydroxyls, and releases of hydrogen and pyrolytic water into gas phase. The proposed approach suggested that a bituminous coal that exhibits plasticity during pyrolysis had 3.5 mol/kg-coal transferable hydrogen, whereas the amount of transferable hydrogen of the sub-bituminous coal, a non-caking coal, was 1.3 mol/kg-coal, during pyrolysis up to 500°C.

Sequential coal briquetting and carbonization was applied to preparation of cokes from 9 non- or slightly caking coals with carbon contents (fC) of 67-85 wt%-daf. Coal pulverization to sizes of <106 μm and briquetting at 40°C enabled to prepare cokes with tensile strength (σ) over 10 MPa from 4 coals with fC of 82-85 or 67 wt%-daf. Then, by introducing fine pulverization to sizes of < 10 μm before the briquetting, 7 coals were converted successfully into cokes with σ = 11-25 MPa. Increasing the briquetting temperature to 240°C further increased σ to 19-35 MPa for all the 9 coals. It was thus demonstrated that the hot briquetting of finely pulverized coal was a method to prepare high strength coke regardless of the rank of parent coal. Cokes were also prepared from 14 binary coal blends. All the cokes prepared by applying the fine pulverization and hot briquetting had σ of 20-35 MPa, which agreed well with that calculated by weighted average of those from the component coals. On the other hand, positive and also negative synergistic effects of blending occurred when blends were briquetted at 40°C. Characteristics of bonding/ coalescence among particles of different types of coals were responsible for such synergies.

Strict relation between the substituents or functional groups attached to the coal macromolecules and the generation of the volatile products, e.g., CH4, H2O, CO, CO2, etc., during the coal pyrolysis is an important but confusing subject. In this paper, quadrupole mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance are applied to real-time monitoring the formations of volatile products, off-line quantitative determination of the total products from the pyrolysis of a sub-bituminous coal (SC), and the changes of diverse substitents in the SC along with coke foamation, respectively. These measurements are also performed for the pyrolysis of a caking coal to contrast SC. The qualitative and quantitative data reveal that, during coal pyrolysis, the functional groups related with the formation of CO, i.e., ether, carbonyl, and anhydride, can directly generate CO via bond breaking, or take a detour of the formation of other intermediates via condensation and recombination firstly. Moreover, the formations of CO2 and CH4 are related to the direct removal of -COO- and -CH3, respectively.

This study aimed to experimentally investigate the effect of HZSM-5 on the distribution of volatile products, especially carbon monoxide (CO), C1–C5 hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) during catalytic pyrolysis of lignin and lignin model compounds. Catechol was pyrolyzed using a two-stage tubular reactor (TS-TR) connected to a gas chromatography system over HZSM-5 at 550–950 °C. Forty-three products, including four inorganic gases, twenty C1–C5 hydrocarbons, and nine AHs were quantified using three GC-columns. Results indicated that HZSM-5 accelerated the catechol conversion with a large amount of CO and AHs produced. C1–C5 hydrocarbons were formed during non-catalytic pyrolysis of model compounds, and consumed quickly during HZSM-5 catalytic pyrolysis of catechol. Catalytic pyrolysis of phenol, guaiacol and syringol was carried out at 650 °C in the TS-TR over HZSM-5. HZSM-5 obviously promoted the conversion of lignin model compounds, and largely increased the yield of volatile products especially CO and AHs. Three lignin samples were also catalytically pyrolyzed over HZSM-5 in the TS-TR at 650 °C. HZSM-5 increased the yield of C2-C3 hydrocarbons and AHs, and reduced the yield of oxygenated compounds. HZSM-5 could promote the formation of AHs (lower than 10 wt%) during lignin pyrolysis, but not as obviously as during model compounds pyrolysis (higher than 19 wt%). High yields of char and tar would account for the low catalytic efficiency of HZSM-5 during lignin pyrolysis.

Large-eddy simulation (LES) coupled with the extended flamelet/progress variable approach (EFPV) has been performed to predict characteristics of reacting flows in a bench-scale hot coke oven gas (HCOG) reformer. In order to investigate the capability of capturing effects of operating conditions, simulations were carried out in two different cases in which the coke oven gas temperature and oxygen ratio were altered. Results showed that the LES coupled with the EFPV performed very well in terms of predicting temperature distribution as well as the temperature variation trend between the two cases. In addition, major species such as H2, CO, CO2, H2O and CH4, as well as minor species like benzene and some typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were analyzed to illustrate their activities and dominant chemical events. With regards to the composition of the dry reformed gas, comparisons were made between the experimental data and the numerical simulation results, and reasonable results have been obtained. It has been confirmed that the general feature of the reacting flows in the HCOG reformer can be precisely captured by the present LES.

A sequence of hot briquetting and carbonization (HBC) is a promising technology for the production of coke with a high mechanical strength from lignite, but factors affecting the coke strength have not yet been fully understood. The HBC cokes prepared from 12 lignites in this study showed diverse tensile strength (e.g., from 0.2 to 31.2 MPa in the preparation at 200 °C and 112 MPa for hot briquetting and 1000 °C for carbonization), and the coke strengths could not be explained by differences in commonly used structural properties of the parent lignites, such as elemental composition and contents of volatile matter/fixed carbon and ash. In this study, two methods were proposed for correlating the coke strength with the lignite properties, which employed the chemical structure analyzed by solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance or the volumetric shrinkage during carbonization. A stronger coke was obtained from lignite that contained more aliphatic carbons (less aromatic carbons) or shrank more considerably. These characteristics contributed to intensified compaction of lignite in the briquetting and suppression of the formation of large pores, which are a cause of coke fracture. Two empirical equations, predicting the coke strength from the parameters of lignite properties, were established to be criteria for selection of lignite as HBC coke feedstock, although further investigation with more experimental data would be necessary for the validation.

A detailed chemical kinetic model has been developed to theoretically predict the pyrolysis behavior of phenol-type monolignol compounds (1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, HPP; p-coumaryl alcohol, 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one, HHPP; 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane-1,3-diol, HPPD) released from the primary heterogeneous pyrolysis of lignin. The possible thermal decomposition pathways involving unimolecular decomposition, H-addition, and H-abstraction by H and CH3 radicals were investigated by comparing the activation energies calculated at the M06–2X/6–311++G(d,p) level of theory. The results indicated that all phenol-type monolignol compounds convert to phenol by side-chain cleavage. p-Coumaryl alcohol decomposes into phenol via the formation of 4-vinylphenol, whereas HPP, HHPP, and HPPD decompose into phenol via the formation of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The pyrolytic pathways focusing on the reactivity of the hydroxyl group in HPP and producing cyclopentadiene (cyc-C5H6) were also investigated. The transition state theory (TST) rate constants for all the proposed elementary reaction channels were calculated at the high-pressure limit in the temperature range of 300–1500 K. The kinetic analysis predicted the two favorable unimolecular decomposition pathways in HPP: the one is the dominant channel below 1000 K to produce cyc-C5H6, and the other is above 1000 K to yield phenol (C6H5OH).

<p>It has been recognized that the CO₂ separation and recovery process accounts around 60% of the total cost for operating CO₂ capture and storage (CCS). The CO₂ chemical absorption with a conventional amine solvent like monoethanol amine requires around 4 GJ/t-CO₂ for CO₂ recovery. Recently we developed phase separation solvent system which consists of not only amine but also hydrophobic solvent, ether. This system, before CO₂ absorption, we have single phase, while after CO₂ absorption, we have phase separation, one is CO₂ rich phase and the other is CO₂ lean phase. We can expect that the energy can significantly be reduced because it is not necessary to regenerate whole solvent but only the CO₂ rich phase is to be regenerated. In this study, we examined the phase phenomena for 9 types of amine and a hydrophobic solvent mixture before and after CO₂ absorption to find phase separation solvent system to minimize energy for CO₂ recovery. Based on the observation, the mechanism for the phase separation and solvent regeneration is also discussed.</p>

<p>Changes in the chemical structure of coal during the dry distillation process and the composition and production characteristics of volatile components are important factors related to the mechanism of caking property development and the physical properties of coke masses and analyzed by various methods. However, up to now, analysis of volatile components and structural analysis of solid char are mostly performed individually, and it is difficult to combine both and to obtain quantitative knowledge on the thermal decomposition reaction mechanism. In this study, we tried to measure composition of dry distillation for caking coal and subbituminous coal using online gas analysis, and analyze changes of coal chemical structure using several spectroscopic methods (NMR, FT-IR, XPS etc.), integrated the obtained information to combine the former and the latter, and attempted to obtain new understanding of the coal dry distillation mechanism.</p>

<p>Phase separation type CO₂ capture solvent was developed which transforms into two liquid phases after CO₂ absorption. At first, we checked the phase phenomena of 9 types of amine and 3 types of polyether combinations. There shows three types; keeping one liquid phase before and after CO₂ absorption, transforming into two liquid phase after CO₂ absorption, forming initially two liquid phases. CO₂ solubility of the developed phase separation solvent was measured. The results show that the phase separation solvent can reduce the temperature difference between absorber and desorber than that of conventional amine solvent. Required energy for CO₂ capture using phase separation solvent was estimated under 2.0 GJ/ton-CO₂.</p>

<p>A set of lignin pyrolysis processes involving primary pyrolysis and secondary vapor-phase reactions were described with a detailed chemical kinetic model (DCKM). The DCKM of primary pyrolysis, which characterizes lignin structures as three model compounds, predicted the yields of volatiles (c.a. 22 gas species and 10 monolignols) derived from primary pyrolysis. The original DCKM of secondary vapor-phase reactions did not involve the kinetic database on vapor-phase reaction of monolignols. Thus, the pyrolytic pathways of 1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (HDPP) accounted for 60 - 80 wt% of total monolignol species were proposed, and total 230 elementary reaction rate constants obtained by ab initio theory were added into the original kinetic database. The simulation of secondary vapor-phase reaction was performed using the volatile composition predicted by the DCKM of primary pyrolysis as a boundary condition. The established kinetic models successfully reproduced the yields of H₂O and char, but at high temperature overestimated tar yield and underestimated CO yield. This is probably due to the insufficient kinetic model of the secondary vapor phase reaction, which did not include the decomposition pathways of the monolignols except for HDPP.</p>
