Summary: To investigate the effects of macroscale constraints on fluidization, fine-grid simulations were used to compare the periodic domain and realistic bed. The differences were highlighted by examining force balance conditions in the gas-phase, solid-phase, and mixture. The influence of the bounding wall was implicitly included through markers such as gas-phase pressure gradient and turbulent kinetic energies.

Summary: In this study, a population balance model (PBM) combined with multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the evolution of coke distribution in a methanol-to-olefins fluidized bed reactor. The predicted wide and uneven distribution of coke content showed good agreement with experimental data. The mass fractions of the desired products, ethylene and propylene, and their selectivity ratio were also well predicted. The reasonable prediction suggests that coupling PBM with multiscale CFD is helpful to understand and optimize MTO reactors.

Summary: The development of a comprehensive reactor model is crucial for the design and scale-up of the methanol-to-olefins process in a dual fluidized bed reactor. This model should combine suitable reaction kinetics with hydrodynamic models that accurately describe the gas-solid contact in fluidized bed reactors. In this study, we coupled our previously developed kinetic models of the MTO fluidized bed reactor and regenerator with overall mass, energy, and pressure balances to ensure smooth circulation of catalyst particles between the two fluidized beds. The integrated model was then used to determine the geometric dimensions of a demo-scale MTO DFB configuration and to obtain the mass distribution of catalyst particles throughout the entire system, including the connecting pipes.

Summary: In this study, a new time-resolved, three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry method is developed to investigate the dynamics of particle-laden jet flow. Experimental results show that the presence of particles significantly affects the gas turbulence and alters the gas flow field downstream. A new drag model based on reconstructed particle trajectories and gas flow field is proposed, which shows better agreement with experimental data than the standard single-particle drag model. Additionally, a simple model relating particle volume fraction to particle displacement is developed, demonstrating good agreement with experimental measurements.

Summary: This study analysed the effects of model dimensionality, particle shrinkage, and boundary layer reactions on particle-scale modelling of biomass char conversion under pulverized fuel combustion conditions using six models. The 1D_SPM_BH model with consideration of intra-particle heat and mass transfer, particle shrinkage, and boundary layer reactions was found to be the most appropriate model for biomass char conversion. The 0D_Cons model provided a good approximation for small particle size at specific temperatures, while the 0D_SPM model overestimated the char conversion rate. Considering intra-particle heat and mass transfer improved the model prediction of char conversion time and reaction contributions, and boundary layer reactions had a significant effect on char conversion prediction for large particles and high temperatures.

Summary: The multi-fluid model is commonly used to study heat transfer between gas and solid in bubbling fluidized beds, but it is difficult to implement a one-dimensional model considering intra-particle temperature inhomogeneity. To solve this issue, a corrected coefficient is introduced to quantitively feature the effects of intra-particle temperature inhomogeneity on external heat transfer, forming a corrected zero-dimensional model. The results show that the corrected model predicts the temperature profiles more accurately and has comparable computational efficiency compared to the original model.

Summary: The configuration-dependent dynamics of non-spherical particles were experimentally investigated in a quasi-two-dimensional gas-solid fluidized bed. It was found that the vertical velocity profiles were sensitive to the aspect ratio at low gas velocity but not at high gas velocity. The velocity distribution, particularly the rotational velocity distribution, deviated from the Maxwellian distribution. The joint probability density distribution of vertical and rotational velocity was asymmetric. Two high-probability particle configurations, two particles in a parallel or vertical arrangement, were identified by calculating various functions. The cause of this order appearance was explained through entropy theory. The drag force of the particle configurations at different angles and Re was compared, demonstrating the necessity of considering configuration-dependent drag force for non-spherical particle fluidization.

Summary: Light olefins, such as ethylene and propylene, are crucial chemical materials. This study introduces the Olefins Production Security Index (OPSI) as a metric for evaluating the techno-economic and security performance of different production routes. The results reveal that coal-based routes (CMTO and CMTP) exhibit higher security ranks and favorable economic performance compared to natural gas-based routes (NFTO) and deep catalytic cracking (DCC). Carbon dioxide-based routes (CDMTO and CDMTP) have lower emissions but higher costs. CMTO, CMTP, and natural gas-based routes (NMTO) achieve the top OPSI grades, indicating their competitiveness in terms of security. Sensitivity analysis identifies the security shortcomings of each production route. This framework aids in selecting the most suitable production route for light olefins, prioritizing security considerations.

Summary: A corrected zero-dimensional (Cor-0D) model was developed based on a one-dimensional model to accurately simulate the pyrolysis process inside thermally-thick biomass particles. Correction coefficients for external heat transfer, particle diameter, and pyrolysis reactions were introduced by comparing predictions of the one-dimensional model with the zero-dimensional model. An artificial neural network (ANN) was used to derive an ANN-Cor-0D model by correlating the correction coefficients with convective heat transfer coefficient, particle size, gas temperature, moisture content, and particle's dimensionless temperature. The results show that the ANN-Cor-0D model has the same performance as the Cor-0D model.

Summary: Using a colorimetric analysis method, the production of formaldehyde (HCHO) in methanol-to-olefins (MTO) and dimethyl ether (DME)-to-olefins (DTO) reactions over SAPO-34 was quantitatively monitored. It was found that HCHO was present in both slight and conspicuous amounts at the initial and deactivation stages of the reactions, as well as when co-fed with water or high-pressure H2. The study also revealed the weaker hydrogen transfer ability of DME compared to methanol, leading to a more prominent olefins-based cycle and suppression of reactant-induced hydrogen transfer and deactivation in DTO.

Summary: Developing highly efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is crucial for zinc-air flow batteries. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic polymers (COPs) have emerged as promising alternatives due to their designable and controllable atomic-level structures. However, their catalytic performances are limited by conductivity and catalytic activity. In this study, nanosheet FeNi-MOF and iron phthalocyanine rich COP hybrid materials are assembled through the pi-pi stacking effect to create highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts. The resulting catalyst exhibits superior catalytic performance and stability, making it a promising candidate for zinc-air flow batteries.
