Summary: This study investigated the CO2 gasification kinetics of direct coal liquefaction residue (ER), showing higher reactivity of ER char compared to coal char and an increase in reactivity with higher ER content in blends. The partial pressure of CO2 promoted the reactivity of all samples, and ER char exhibited larger BET surface area and pore volume compared to coal char. Activation energy and reaction order parameters for ER char, coal char, and their blend were also determined.

Summary: The need for iron and steel has increased due to the continuous growth of industrialization, therefore it is crucial to improve the efficiency of iron manufacturing plants. This study investigates the kinetics of hematite reduction to iron using a non-catalytic gas-solid reaction model called the random pore model (RPM). Reduction tests were conducted on a pure hematite pellet by varying the temperature and H2 concentration, and kinetic parameters were calculated based on the pellet's pore size distribution using the RPM. The robustness of this approach was confirmed through validations using other pure hematite pellets and an industrial pellet with different characteristics. The activation energy for H2 reduction was determined to be 40.87 kJ/mol, and the diffusion coefficient of oxygen ions through the iron product layer for the industrial pellet was measured to be 2.83 x 10-17 m2/s.

Summary: A generalised random pore model, which includes both gaseous diffusion and solid-state diffusion, was developed and successfully applied to the reduction of hematite to magnetite by CO. The model was used to calculate the surface reaction rate constant and effective diffusivity in the product layer, and the activation energy for these parameters was determined. The model was then validated against experimental data from a fluidised bed reactor, confirming its applicability to reactions limited by solid-state diffusion.

Summary: Determining the potential of UK croplands to sequester CO2 via enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is crucial for achieving UK net-zero emissions by 2050. Unfortunately, a recent study by Buckingham et al. (2022) made fundamental errors in their experiment design, reporting, and interpretation, leading to a misrepresentation of the CO2 removal potential through ERW in UK croplands.

Summary: The influence of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) fluids on coal pore structure and mineral content is significant, leading to reductions in micropore volume, increases in average pore diameter and macropore volume, as well as alterations in mineral content. The impact of SC-CO2 is related to coal rank, with the greatest effect on lignite's macropore volume and anthracite's micropore volume. Mineral dissolution may contribute to the reduction in micropores and increase in mesopores and macropores.

Summary: Geological storage of CO2 in coal seams is an effective method to alleviate the greenhouse effect. This study investigated the effects of sub-supercritical CO2 intrusion on coal pore structures and found that CO2 injection leads to changes in porosity and micro-minipore volume. The causes of these changes include mineral dissolution, extraction of functional groups, destruction of aromatic layers, and rearrangement of macromolecular structure. Supercritical CO2 has a greater impact on coal pore structure compared to subcritical CO2. Therefore, it is crucial to choose an appropriate injection and storage pressure of CO2.

Summary: Understanding the changes in material composition and pore structure of shale gas reservoir during the supercritical CO2-brine-shale reaction is crucial for CO2 sequestration and enhanced natural gas production. Experimental results showed that calcite and clay mineral dissolution occurred throughout the reaction, while carbonate precipitation started after 18 days. The rise in Ca2+ and K+ concentration was observed before 6 days, with a moderate increase thereafter. Dissolution enlarged the mesopores and micropores, while precipitation only reduced the increasing trend of mesopores. The storage capacity can be enhanced by 4 to 5 times after reaction, mainly due to the increased micropore uptake.

Summary: The application of liquid CO2-slickwater hybrid fracturing technology can improve the energy-enhancing efficiency and fracturing fluid flowback efficiency of shale reservoirs. However, the retention of supercritical CO2 (ScCO2) fluid and slickwater in reservoirs after fracturing limits the understanding of changes in shale pore structure, which affects the evaluation of gas adsorption, transportation behaviors, and CO2 sequestration capacity in shale reservoirs. Therefore, the influences of ScCO2-slickwater coupling effect on shale pore structure were analyzed using various analytical methods.

Summary: The study reveals that lignite has well-developed mesopores and macropores, while fractures are more pronounced in bituminous and anthracite coals. After treatment with ScCO2, lignite showed slight changes in mesopores and macropores, while bituminous and anthracite coals exhibited increased mesopores, macropores, and fractures connectivity. The study suggests that ScCO2 has the potential to increase coal porosity and permeability, providing additional pathways for carbon storage and methane recovery.

Summary: This work introduces a fast and direct controlled routine for the fabrication of fully dense alumina using reactive spark plasma sintering of boehmite nano-powders. The transformation kinetics of alpha-Al2O3 from seeded boehmite powders were enhanced, resulting in a lower required sintering temperature. Detailed structural and mechanical characterization showed that the reactive-SPSed samples exhibited lower indentation fracture resistance due to larger grain size.

Summary: There is a growing interest in producing electrospun biomaterials that are innovative, high-performance, biofunctional, and cost-efficient. These materials have the potential to mimic the microenvironment of native skin and are promising for wound healing applications. However, there are still many unanswered questions regarding the interaction mechanism between the skin and the wound dressing materials. In this study, retinol-loaded PVA electrospun fiber mats (RPFM) with different retinol concentrations were fabricated and characterized. The results showed that the fiber mats had a diameter ranging from 150 to 225 nm and their mechanical properties were influenced by the retinol concentration. Cell culture experiments demonstrated the biocompatibility of RPFM and the wound healing assay suggested that RPFM with a retinol content of 6.25 wt.% had the optimal cell migratory activity without altering cell morphology. It was concluded that RPFM with a retinol content below 6.25 wt.% would be suitable for skin regenerative applications.

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.
