Co-hydrothermal carbonization (Co-HTC) coupled with aqueous phase (AP) recirculation has been found to improve hydrochar production by promoting hydrochar formation and reducing oxygen content. The combination of Co-HTC and AP recirculation exhibited enhanced effects. The composition of hydrochar was mainly derived from oxygenated compounds in cellulose and hemicellulose, as well as nitrogen-containing compounds in protein. The major mechanisms for enhanced hydrochar formation during Co-HTC with AP recirculation were the Maillard reaction, catalytical effects from acids in the recycling AP, and the repolymerization or condensation of accumulated compounds in AP.
Co-hydrothermal carbonization (Co-HTC) coupled with aqueous phase (AP) recirculation has huge potential to improve hydrochar production. In this study, three model compounds, namely wheat straw cellulose (cellulose, Ce), xylan (hemicellulose, He), and soya-protein (protein, Pr), were processed by HTC individually or Co-HTC in combination, with or without AP recirculation. Hydrochar formation behavior was investigated through analysis of hydrochar and AP by elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Pyrolyzer-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), GC-MS, and a series of other characterizations. Elemental compositions reveal that both Co-HTC and AP recirculation promoted hydrochar formation and reduction of oxygen in hydrochar, and the combination promoted these effects. Furthermore, XPS and Py-GC-MS results show that the building blocks of hydrochar were oxygenated compounds from Ce and He such as furans and furfurals, and nitrogen-containing compounds from Pr such as amino acids and N-heterocycles. Subsequently, hydrochar formation mechanisms were proposed by results from GC-MS analysis of AP and the above observations. The major mechanisms account for enhanced hydrochar formation during Co-HTC with AP recirculation were Maillard reaction occurred between amino acids and saccharides, catalytical effects (mainly on Maillard reaction) from acids in the recycling AP, and the repolymerization or condensation of accumulated compounds in AP.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

Investigating the influence of outdoor temperature variations on fire-induced smoke behavior in an atrium-type underground metro station using hybrid ventilation systems
Desheng Xu, Yanfeng Li, Tianmei Du, Hua Zhong, Youbo Huang, Lei Li, Xiangling Duanmu
Summary: This study investigates the optimization of hybrid mechanical-natural ventilation for smoke control in complex metro stations. The results show that atrium fires are more significantly impacted by outdoor temperature variations compared to concourse/platform fires. The gathered high-temperature smoke inside the atrium can reach up to 900 K under a 5 MW train fire energy release. The findings provide crucial engineering insights into integrating weather data and adaptable ventilation protocols for smoke prevention/mitigation.

A novel prediction method of fuel consumption for wing-diesel hybrid vessels based on feature construction
Zhang Ruan, Lianzhong Huang, Kai Wang, Ranqi Ma, Zhongyi Wang, Rui Zhang, Haoyang Zhao, Cong Wang
Summary: This paper proposes a grey box model for fuel consumption prediction of wing-diesel hybrid vessels based on feature construction. By using both parallel and series grey box modeling methods and six machine learning algorithms, twelve combinations of prediction models are established. A feature construction method based on the aerodynamic performance of the wing and the energy relationship of the hybrid system is introduced. The best combination is obtained by considering the root mean square error, and it shows improved accuracy compared to the white box model. The proposed grey box model can accurately predict the daily fuel consumption of wing-diesel hybrid vessels, contributing to operational optimization and the greenization and decarbonization of the shipping industry.

Summary: This study examines the interaction between off-farm employment decisions between couples and household clean energy consumption in rural China, and finds that two-paycheck households are more likely to consume clean energy. The off-farm employment of women is a key factor driving household clean energy consumption to a higher level, with wage-employed wives having a stronger influence on these decisions than self-employed ones.

Summary: Demand-side management is crucial to smart energy systems. This paper proposes a data-driven approach to understand the relationship between energy consumption patterns and household characteristics for better DSM services. The proposed method uses a clustering algorithm to generate optimal customer groups for DSM and a deep learning model for training. The model can predict the possibility of DSM membership for a given household. The results demonstrate the usefulness of weekly energy consumption data and household socio-demographic information for distinguishing consumer groups and the potential for targeted DSM strategies.
