Summary: This study utilized the abundant mineral chalcopyrite as an efficient trap for Hg-0 sequestration, showing excellent removal performance in a wide temperature range and minimal interference from typical flue gas components. The adsorption capacity and rate of CuFeS2 were significantly higher than commercial activated carbons, attributed to the oxidizing and immobilizing abilities of disulfide ligands, and the sorbent could be regenerated through thermal decomposition, saving operation costs. CuFeS2 is identified as a potential, cost-effective trap for efficient remediation of Hg-0 from coal combustion flue gas.

Summary: In this study, a recyclable magnetic Ag-based sorbent for zero-valent mercury (Hg-0) removal was successfully prepared using CuS-wrapped Fe3O4 as the support and Ag as the loading material. The synthesized Ag/CuS@Fe3O4 sorbent exhibited excellent Hg-0 removal activity and resistance to SO2 at 50 degrees C. Characterization results showed that both Cu and S sites of CuS were active sites in the reaction process, providing high Hg-0 capture capacity. Meanwhile, the Ag species not only provided new activity sites but also improved the reactivity of Cu sites.

Summary: In this study, a waste byproduct of petroleum coke was modified with bromine to capture elemental mercury in simulated flue gas. The results showed that the brominated petroleum coke was effective for capturing elemental mercury, with the optimal temperature being around 150 degrees C. Kinetic models revealed that chemisorption was the controlling step, with intra-particle diffusion and external mass transfer occurring simultaneously. Moreover, the presence of higher concentrations of O-2 or NO increased the initial mercury adsorption rate and equilibrium adsorption quantity, while higher concentrations of SO2 or HCl had a negative impact on the adsorption performance.

Summary: This study successfully prepared modified layered MCM-22 zeolite with highly dispersed Mn active sites for efficient removal of gaseous elemental mercury (Hg-0). The mechanism of Hg-0 removal mainly involves catalytic oxidation and chemisorption on Mn active sites, with Mn playing a bridging role between Hg and O in the pores of Mn/MCM-22 zeolite. The promising Mn/MCM-22 zeolite composite demonstrates high potential as a sorbent for Hg-0 removal from flue gas.

Summary: A series of Mn-Cr mixed oxide adsorbents were synthesized using co-precipitation method. The effects of Mn/Cr molar ratio, reaction temperature, calcination temperature, initial mercury concentration, and flue gas constituents on mercury removal were investigated. MnCr1:3 with an optimal Mn/Cr molar ratio showed the highest efficiency (>95.4%) in a wide temperature range (100-250 degrees C) for mercury removal. The physicochemical properties and mechanism were characterized using various techniques. MnCr1:3 facilitated mercury removal due to its larger surface area, smaller crystallite sizes, higher acidity, and redox properties. Sulfur dioxide promoted elemental mercury capture for MnCr1:3. After five regeneration cycles, MnCr1:3 maintained a relative activity of 100%. The combined effect of manganese and chromium resulted in an increase in high valence metal elements and surface adsorbed oxygen, which played a vital role in mercury removal.

Summary: This article focuses on the CO2 uptake performance and attrition/fragmentation tendency of sorbents in a dual interconnected fluidized bed system when simulating the conditions of a sorption-enhanced gasification process. The experiments were conducted on a commercial Italian limestone in a laboratory-scale reactor. The results show that the temperature and presence of steam have an influence on the sorption performance. Additionally, the impact fragmentation tests reveal the relationship between the sample's fragmentation characteristics and the preprocessing conditions in the fluidized bed.

Summary: The hydrodynamics of bubbling fluidized beds of Geldart B granular solids operated at ambient temperature and at 500 degrees C are investigated. The statistical analysis shows multimodal patterns in the Probability Density Functions (PDF) of local bed voidage, with a bimodal character apparent in the emulsion phase at higher gas superficial velocities. Two phases with different porosity, LV-phase and HV-phase, are inferred to co-exist in the emulsion phase. The influence of bed hydrodynamics and expansion patterns on gas mass transfer around freely moving particles is also studied.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the gasification of wood pellets in a pilot-scale decoupling gasifier. The results showed that the decoupling gasifier had lower temperatures in all zones compared to the conventional updraft gasifier. The tar yield from the decoupling gasifier was significantly lower, but the lower heating value (LHV) of syngas was also lower than that from updraft gasification. Kinetics and thermodynamics analysis suggested that the energy requirement for wood pellet decomposition was slightly higher in the decoupling gasifier due to its higher activation energy, and the presence of CO2 in the flue gas atmosphere caused more heavy volatiles and char.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
