Summary: The study investigated the reaction chemistry of amino acid salts (AASs) with CO2 using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It found that the CO2 loading of AASs has a positive correlation with the CO2 permeance of facilitated transport membranes (FTMs), and increasing the steric hindrance of AASs can promote the bicarbonate reaction pathway and increase CO2 loading. Additionally, 2-(1-piperazinyl)ethylamine (PZEA) was identified as a more effective multi-amine for synthesizing AASs compared to piperazine (PZ). The knowledge gained from this study will aid in the design of more efficient AAS carriers for CO2 capture.

Summary: New designs of helical methane/natural gas reactors are proposed in this study, which utilize the Sabatier reaction for renewable production of methane. The study develops three models with different diameters and the same volume, and suggests optimizing the reactor design by varying specific parameters. The reactor model with a diameter of 0.0381 m achieves a reactant conversion of 75% and a yield of 87%, while the model with a cross-sectional diameter of 0.0254 m demonstrates the most effective cooling at a coolant temperature of 200 degrees C.

Summary: The study prepared facilitated transport membranes (FTMs) with aniline and ionic liquid modified alumina (M-Al) particles, achieving improved CO2 permeability and selectivity. The presence of water enhanced the performance of the membranes by facilitating the transport mechanism. Molecular simulation and experiments confirmed the effectiveness of the combined hopping-vehicle mechanism in the membrane structure.

Summary: The study investigated the simulation of CO2-CH4 mixed gas adsorption and selectivity on zeolite 4A using Aspen Adsorption, finding accurate models and analyzing the effects of key parameters on adsorption kinetics and selectivity. The highest CO2 and CH4 adsorption were found at 273 K and 10 bar in the Langmuir isotherm model, and the selectivity of the binary mixture gas depends on the composition of CO2. The study also examined the influence of physical properties of zeolite 4A on kinetic adsorption, providing insights for commercial gas separation applications.

Summary: This study fabricated novel dense membranes by blending Pebax with PAMAM and evaluated their application in CO2/CH4 gas separation. The results showed that PAMAM loading, operating pressure, and temperature significantly affected gas permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity. Gas permeability in the membranes was primarily governed by gas solubility rather than diffusivity. Modifying Pebax membrane with PAMAM improved separation performance with minimal aging and good stability.

Summary: This study reveals that damming of rivers alters the spatial distribution of carbon in sediments, leading to higher CH4 and CO2 concentrations upstream compared to downstream. During reservoir impounding periods, CH4 diffusive flux is higher upstream than downstream, while CH4 emissions are predominantly by ebullition, with significantly higher flux downstream during discharging periods. The increase in TOC in downstream sediment is attributed to riparian zone soil erosion caused by water level fluctuations.

Summary: The biosynthesis of PHAs from C1 gases offers a promising solution to climate change and microplastic pollution, as it can reduce production costs and environmental impact associated with petroleum-based plastics. Autotrophs, acetogens, and methanotrophs are strains capable of producing PHA from CO2, CO, and CH4, demonstrating the potential for using costless C1 gases as sustainable carbon sources for bioplastic production.

Summary: A single-stage membrane process using facilitated transport membranes has been designed to decarbonize coal-derived syngas, with a reactive diffusion model integrated to address carrier saturation. The study found that mitigated carrier saturation can significantly enhance CO2 permeance and selectivity, achieving high CO2 purity and H2 recovery. Furthermore, a hybrid membrane configuration with different FTMs characteristics can further improve H2 recovery and decrease the cost of electricity compared to the benchmark Selexol process.

Summary: The study demonstrates the significant influence of nickel loading on the performance of CO2 reforming of methane catalysts. Lower nickel loading can lead to increased CH4 conversion stability without coke formation, while higher nickel loading results in decreased activity and carbon accumulation.
