The S-CO₂ and the ORC are bottoming cycles that recover the waste heat from the exhaust gases of the GT. A RO seawater desalination unit has been added to t ...

Abstract:
... The emission of NH₃ into atmosphere is seriously harmful for human health and public safety, thus the capture and recovery of NH₃ from ammonia emissions is highly desirable. In recent years, many kinds of solid adsorbents have been exploited to absorb NH₃. However, these materials do not show the advantages of high uptake capacity and good recyclability at the same time. Here, nontoxic and low cos ...
... In this work, an investigation on the fluidization behaviour of solid particles was carried out while the fluidizing agent was switched from one gas to another with an equal volumetric flow. Four different gases, namely helium, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide (He, N₂, Ar and CO₂), were adopted as fluidizing agents, and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) was used as the experimental material. When c ...
... The moving granular filter technology based on size segregation is a promising technology for hot gas cleanup. A moving granular bed that can separate a mixture of particles spontaneously and replace the particles continuously layer by layer was design in this work. We experimentally studied the effects of free slope length (L), particle replacement rate (Q), and inlet large particle mass fraction ...
... In order to address the environmental problems caused by red mud and other industrial by-products, a new concept was proposed to use red mud to prepare cementitious materials by incorporating other solid wastes, waste heat, and tail gas. The feasibility of this synergistic concept was verified by laboratory-scale tests, and the effect of tail gas and waste heat on solid wastes was revealed by FTIR ...

Abstract:
... Since Engineered Wood Products (EWPs) have entered the building industry as structural elements, several fire safety concerns have arisen, especially for high-rise structures.The combustible nature of timber suggests that the current models and correlations for compartment fire dynamics might not apply to compartments with timber boundaries, due to the increased fuel load and its redistribution ac ...

Abstract:
... The fluidization behaviors of SiO₂ nanoparticles with high initial bed heights of 8–24 cm are investigated experimentally. The effects of the initial bed height and the superficial gas velocity on the minimum fluidization velocity, bed heights, axial solid distributions and the agglomerate diameter are discussed. The results show that the minimum fluidization velocity decreases significantly with ...
... Disordered metal–organic frameworks are emerging as an attractive class of functional materials, however their applications in gas storage and separation have yet to be fully explored. Here, we investigate gas adsorption in the topologically disordered Fe-BTC framework and its crystalline counterpart, MIL-100. Despite their similar chemistry and local structure, they exhibit very different sorptio ...

Abstract:
... The fire modeling community currently lacks full-scale data from tests conducted in realistic residential-style structures. Controlled gas burner tests were conducted in purpose-built single- and two-story structures instrumented throughout with thermocouples, pressure transducers, and bi-directional probes. Experiments consisted of sequences of ventilation events. The data collected in these test ...
... Clostridium autoethanogenum, the bacterial model for biological conversion of waste gases into biofuels, grows under extreme carbon-monoxide (CO) concentrations. The strictly anaerobic bacterium derives its entire cellular energy and carbon from this poisonous gas, therefore requiring efficient molecular machineries for CO-conversion. Here, we structurally and biochemically characterized the key e ...
... Gas therapy is actually drawing attention in nanomedicine as a safe and therapeutically efficient technique. Indeed, the design of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers with controlled release is encouraging to heal without any risk of gas poisoning. Here, we review recent developments of gas nanogenerators and gas-releasing molecules for controlled and targeted gas therapy in cancer nanomedicine. We pr ...
... Gas therapy appears promising in treating cancer, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart attack, and acute situations of shock. Gas therapy is also becoming a good choice in preventive medicine against dementia, reducing cancer occurrence, cardiovascular diseases, and delaying aging. On-demand gas release allows precision therapy with few risks of gas poisoning. Here, we review targeted and controlled ...

Abstract:
... Bulk nanobubbles (BNBs) are submicron gaseous domains dispersed in solutions, which are supposed to survive for several hours or even days. In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the research and extraordinary applications of BNBs. Conventional theories based on gas diffusion and Laplace pressure, however, predicted that nanoscale gas bubbles in water should dissolve within microseconds ...

Abstract:
... SnS₂ nanoplates are used as sacrificial templates to facilitate the in situ growth of intermetallic compound Pt₃Sn nanoparticles. The Pt₃Sn/SnS₂ heterostructures show promise for selective NO₂ sensing due to the favored gas adsorption and gas–solid charge transfer on Pt₃Sn, combined with the optimized film conductance and formation of ohmic-type Pt₃Sn/SnS₂ heterointerfaces. ...

Abstract:
... Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are poised to improve modern-day gas sensors. Their unparalleled tunability and chemical selectivity across a wide span of chemical species have made them attractive for use in highly selective gas sensors. In this work, we delve into one of the biggest strengths of many MOFs, their irreversible chemisorption of gas molecules, and how this can be leveraged to create ...
... Given the complexity of the laser-material interactions prevalent in powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, the need for tight control of alloy composition in the metal powder feedstock is leading to the use of specific gases during atomization. These changes in atomization gas also impact powder flow and packing. In order to identify the magnitude of this impact, two nitrogen atomized and one ...
... Polymer coating post-treatment strategy of the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes offers a versatile and feasible opportunity to restrict the intrinsic flexibility of ZIF framework and improve their gas separation performance. Herein, two different coating methods (Vacuum-assisted drip coating (VADC) and Static drip coating (SDC)) are utilized to prepare PDMS/ZIF-8 composite membranes ...
... Molecular sieve materials (MSMs) are regarded as ideal fillers for the fabrication of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). However, the preparation of MSMs-based MMMs usually involves physical mixing of insoluble filler and polymer matrix, which inevitably leads to filler agglomeration and two-phase incompatibility especially for high filler loading. Herein, we report a new strategy to construct MMMs th ...
... In this study, the influence and mechanism of SiO₂ on the gas-based direct reduction behavior of Hongge vanadium titanomagnetite pellet (HVTMP) by hydrogen-rich gases was investigated. Increasing SiO₂ during the initial stage caused the reduction degree of HVTMP to initially increase and then decrease. At the later stage, SiO₂ retarded the reduction, and this effect increased upon increasing the S ...
... This paper presents a numerical study of the influence of burden profile on gas-solid distribution in a COREX shaft furnace through CFD-DEM model. The model takes into account the transient features of gas and particle flow under evaluation of five burden profiles, and the results show that the burden profile has a minor effect on the burden descending velocity. Caused by the segregation, the over ...
