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 total of 18 chars from the pyrolysis of six trios of sugar cane bagasses (SCBs; original, water-washed, and acid-washed) were gasified with CO<inf>2</inf> 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 CO<inf>2</inf> capture. Our developed solvent consists amine, organic solvent and water and shows single liquid phase before CO<inf>2</inf> absorption though it shows two liquid phases after CO<inf>2</inf> absorption. Feature of phase separation solvent is reducing temperature difference between absorber and stripper. We apply the heat pump system for CO<inf>2</inf> separation and evaluate the energy consumption. Low temperature swing process saves energy requirement for CO<inf>2</inf> capture process with highly-effective reaction-heat recovering. To evaluate the CO<inf>2</inf> capture system with our solvent, screening test for amine and organic solvent combination and CO<inf>2</inf> 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 CO<inf>2</inf> scrubbing, phase separation with CO<inf>2</inf> 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.

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.

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 NaBH<inf>4</inf> as reducing agent in water was first reported. As a result, Ni/Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>−HT exhibited high catalytic activity for the transformation, and THFA was achieved in 100 % yield at 60 °C for 60 min. Moreover, Ni/Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>−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.

Carbon Dioxide Absorption Heat in Liquid-Liquid and Solid-Liquid Phase-Change Solvents Using Continuous Calorimetry 査読有り

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 CO<inf>2</inf> 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 CO<inf>2</inf> 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.
