Summary: The study investigated the supercritical water gasification of sewage sludge in a fluidized bed reactor, focusing on the effects of temperature on product distribution and gas compositions. It was found that increasing temperature enhanced the dissolution and hydrolysis of organic matter in the sludge, leading to increased gas production. Furthermore, temperature elevation also induced dehydrogenation and polymerization reactions, which could be explained by the Diels-Alder mechanism.

Summary: Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a promising technology for sewage sludge (SS) treatment, but char production has been a bottleneck. This study compared chars produced by SCWG and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) to explore the feasibility of using char as an additional product in SCWG. Experimental results showed that humus is related to char formation, providing insights for further treatment or utilization of chars generated during SCWG of SS.

Summary: This study investigated the oxidation of watered toxic waste from the pulp and paper industry in supercritical water-oxygen fluid, revealing that only CO2, CO, N2, and N2O were detected in volatile oxidation products at higher oxygen content. Increasing the oxygen ratio led to a decrease in phenols and chlorophenols produced, with 2,6-dichlorophenol and 2-chlorophenol being the most resistant to oxidation.

Summary: To recover nitrogen and phosphorus from the treatment of sewage sludge using supercritical water gasification (SCWG), struvite crystallization was utilized. K2CO3 was added in SCWG to increase syngas production and enhance the migration of N and P for subsequent struvite crystallization. The effect of MgCl2 and pH on the removal of N, P, and COD and the purity of struvite was investigated. The results showed that the highest removal of N and P from the aqueous phase was achieved by struvite crystallization at pH 8, producing struvite with a purity of 93.3%.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different parameters on the fate of nitrogen in products after supercritical water gasification of dewatered sewage sludge. The distribution and morphology of nitrogen were most affected by temperature, followed by reaction time and heating rate. Higher temperature, longer reaction time, and slower heating rate were beneficial to the increase of NH4+-N content in the liquid phase. The recovery rate of nitrogen in all samples was between 64.34% to 93.82%.

Summary: In this study, four polythiourethane films with different types of polyols and isocyanates were synthesized, characterized, and foamed. The results showed that the type of isocyanate greatly influenced the crystallinity and stiffness of the polymers, while the type of polyol modified the FT-IR spectra and the decomposition curve of the material with temperature. Furthermore, the choice of isocyanate also affected the properties of the foams obtained from the polymeric material.

Summary: This study experimentally assessed the hydrodynamic characteristics of supercritical-pressure R134a in a horizontal circular tube. It was found that the hydrodynamic characteristic curve of R134a under supercritical pressure does not have a negative-slope region but a transition region. The transition region becomes more evident with increasing heat flux, while it weakens with increasing pressure and inlet temperature. Moreover, the onset of the transition region shifts in the direction of high mass flow rate with increasing heat flux.

Summary: This research aimed to valorize brewery spent grain (BSG) using subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) modified by six different natural deep eutectic solvents (DES) and determining their bipotentialities. The findings showed that BSG hydrolysates obtained through DES-induced SWH contained high levels of sugars, proteins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and essential amino acids. The hydrolysates also demonstrated antimicrobial activities, and the presence of bioactive compounds was confirmed through FT-IR analysis. This comprehensive profiling of bioactive compounds from BSG using DES-mediated SWH can contribute to the efficient valorization of BSG for industrial purposes.
