Summary: Biomethane production through biogas upgrading using commercial carbonaceous adsorbents was experimentally investigated in this study. It was found that activated carbon (AC) exhibited higher adsorption capacity and better kinetic performance, while carbon molecular sieves (CMSs) showed higher selectivity for CO2/CH4 separation and faster kinetics, with Xintao sample showing the best overall performance. Modeling of breakthrough curves indicated intraparticle diffusion as the rate-limiting step for CO2 adsorption.

Summary: COF-based composite membranes offer breakthroughs in separation performance, but challenges such as poor filler dispersity and limited functionality severely restrict their development. Therefore, the careful design of physical and chemical structures for COFs is urgently needed. A geometry transformation strategy can overcome some challenges, by decreasing filler size, improving dispersibility and compatibility, and introducing chemical functionality at the quantum dot edges.

Summary: Biogas, as a renewable fuel, requires purification and upgrading due to trace contaminants and high CO2 content. Chemical absorption is commonly used, but issues such as solvent decomposition, toxicological impact, high maintenance costs, and corrosivity limit its large-scale application. Ionic liquids have emerged as alternative solvents with advantages in CO2 uptake, thermal stability, and negligible vapor pressure. This review provides the first comprehensive comparison of biogas upgrading technologies, highlighting the potential of ILs for practical, technical, and economic viability.

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: Membrane fouling is caused by physical or chemical interactions leading to foulant deposition or adsorption, reducing membrane flux. Chemical cleaning is effective but environmentally unattractive, and high concentrations can damage the membrane. Micronanobubbles are a promising technique for membrane surface cleaning, but information is limited.

Summary: This paper experimentally evaluated the use of Carbon Molecular Sieve Membranes (CMSM) for selectively separating CO2 from post-combustion CO2-rich streams in steel plants. Efficient CMSMs were developed and their potential for operating at high temperatures and pressures was demonstrated. The use of ethylenediamine in the fabrication process was proven to be important in narrowing down the pore size distribution and improving CO2 adsorption, resulting in high flux and perm-selectivity.

Summary: The use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier can be improved with the use of a membrane reactor, which allows for ammonia decomposition and hydrogen separation in one device, providing efficiency and compactness advantages. Ceramic-supported double-skinned Pd-Ag membranes have shown excellent performance for hydrogen separation but suffer from sealing and mechanical stability issues. To overcome these limitations, metallic supported Pd-based membranes are suggested. In this study, a Pd-Ag membrane was prepared on a low-cost metallic support and tested for ammonia decomposition in a membrane reactor, achieving high NH3 conversion and H2 recovery rates. These results indicate potential as a substitute for ceramic-supported alternatives.

Summary: This study experimentally compares the performance of a packed bed membrane reactor (PBMR) and a conventional packed bed reactor (PBR) for CO2 conversion to dimethyl ether (DME). The PBMR outperforms the PBR in most conditions, with improvements in CO2 conversion and DME yield. Higher sweep gas-to-feed ratios increase water removal and improve PBMR performance, but result in the removal of other products. Higher temperatures selectively enhance the rWGS reaction but reduce DME yield due to methanol loss. Higher transmembrane pressures are not beneficial for PBMR performance. Reactor models developed in previous studies accurately describe the performance of both reactors and can be used for further optimization and simulation.

Summary: The effect of carbonization temperature on the performance of carbon membranes in vapor/gas separation was assessed. It was found that the nature of functional groups and pore structure changes with carbonization temperature. The presence of ultra-micropores enhances water permeance but reduces hydrophilicity. Gas permeation is mainly influenced by the pore size distribution.

Summary: This study investigates the adsorption and Fenton activity of FeOCl using rhodamine B and bromocresol green as pollutant models at different pH values. The results show that adsorption and Fenton reactions occur simultaneously, with the extent depending on the pH and the type of pollutant. FeOCl exhibits potential as a catalyst for Fenton, photo-Fenton, and photocatalysis, but its activity is greatly influenced by humidity and the ionic charge of the contaminant.

Summary: Copper-exchanged faujasite (Cu-FAU) zeolites were used as promising adsorbent materials for further purifying hydrogen obtained from ammonia decomposition in a membrane reactor. The introduction of copper species in the zeolites enhanced their NH3 adsorption and saturation capacities. However, Cu-FAU zeolites synthesized with copper(II) nitrate trihydrate and calcined in air showed deactivation after the first adsorption/desorption cycle. On the other hand, ion-exchange procedure in the presence of ammonium hydroxide and calcination in an inert environment prevented dealumination and showed stable performance. The one-time ion-exchanged form of zeolite 13X was found to be the most promising adsorbent material for effectively purifying NH3-derived H2 produced via ammonia decomposition in a membrane reactor.

Summary: This study focused on the semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream using two alloyed Pt catalysts PtCu and PtCo. The PtCu catalyst showed higher activity and ethylene yield compared to PtCo due to its higher unoccupied Pt d-orbital density.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

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.
