Gas-phase mercury capture performance of raw activated carbon (R-AC) and bromine modified activated carbon (AC-Br) was evaluated in a fixed-bed reactor. Effect of flue gas temperature on mercury adsorption efficiency was explored. Sorbent characterization was conducted to feature their morphologies correlated to mercury adsorption efficiency. Adsorption kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of fixed-bed experimental results was also carried out to explore the different mercury adsorption mechanisms of R-AC and AC-Br. The results show that vapor mercury adsorption capacity of AC-Br increases with temperature, but R-AC. demonstrates opposite results. The bromine ion (Br-) remains in the mesopore and the surface of R-AC in the form of amorphous during modification process, leading to the reduction of mesopore volume and the increase of micropore volume. The increase of active site (Br-) on activated carbon improves chemisorption of vapor mercury on AC-Br at 150 degrees C and 200 degrees C. The kinetic analysis shows that mercury adsorption on active sites is the adsorption rate controlling step, in which it can be divided into two steps: surface adsorption and intraparticle diffusion adsorption. Vapor mercury adsorption on AC-Br needs more activated energy due to the enhancement of chemisorption. The initial mercury adsorption rate of AC-Br increases with temperature, which is different from that of R-AC. The thermodynamic analysis shows that the adsorption of gas-phase mercury-on both R-AC and AC-Br is spontaneous, endothermic and mainly physical in nature enhanced by chemisorption. The bromine modification enhances chemisorption of vapor mercury on AC-Br leading to the increase of complexity degree of mercury adsorption process. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Understanding the role of Ni-based single-atom alloys on the selective hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oils

Seba Alareeqi, Daniel Bahamon, Kyriaki Polychronopoulou, Lourdes F. Vega

Summary: This study explores the potential application of single-atom-alloy (SAA) catalysts in bio-oils hydrodeoxygenation refining using density functional theory (DFT) and microkinetic modeling. It establishes the relationships between stability, adsorptive properties, and activity structures for bio-oil derivatives, providing guidance for the synthesis of cost-effective SAA combinations.

Experimental and computational study on xylan pyrolysis: The pyrolysis mechanism of main branched monosaccharides

Bin Hu, Wen -Ming Zhang, Xue-Wen Guo, Ji Liu, Xiao Yang, Qiang Lu

Summary: This study explored the pyrolysis behaviors and mechanisms of different monosaccharides, including arabinose, galactose, galacturonic acid, and glucuronic acid. The roles of structural differences in these monosaccharides were analyzed, and it was found that glucuronic acid undergoes a special C-C bond breaking reaction during pyrolysis. The findings provide a deep understanding of the pyrolysis chemistry of hemicellulose and the role of different branches.

A 3D computational study of the formation, growth and oxidation of soot particles in an optically accessible direct-injection spark-ignition engine using quadrature-based methods of moments

Florian Held, Jannis Reusch, Steffen Salenbauch, Christian Hasse

Summary: The accurate prediction and assessment of soot emissions in internal combustion engines are crucial for the development of sustainable powertrains. This study presents a detailed quadrature-based method of moments (QMOM) soot model coupled with a state-of-the-art flow solver for the simulation of gasoline engines. The model accurately describes the entire cause-and-effect chain of soot formation, growth and oxidation. Experimental validation and engine cycle simulations are used to identify the root cause of observed soot formation hotspots.
