The lignin-derived phenolic compounds present in lignocellulosic hydrolysate might have an adverse impact on acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) production by Clostridium beijerinckii ZL01. In this study six model phenolic compounds including 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillin, vanillic acid, syringaldehyde, and syringic acid were eva...
Cost‐effective and environment‐friendly aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) exhibit tremendous potential for application in grid‐scale energy storage systems but are limited by suitable cathode materials. Hydrated vanadium bronzes have gained significant attention for AZIBs and can be produced with a range of different pre‐intercalated ions, allowin...

A three-dimensional CFD model was developed to simulate the hydrodynamics in a pilot-scale dual fluidized bed system for biomass gasification. The system includes a fast fluidized bed (FFB) for char combustion, a cyclone separator, two loop-seals, and a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) for biomass gasification. A comparison of a hybrid EMMS drag model ...

The composition of a heavy tar can still be divided into two fractions, the light organic components (LC) and heavy organic components (HC). The HC is hard to be processed into liquid fuel due to its high viscosity and coke formation tendency. In this work, the pyrolysis of HC is tested for improving the yield of LC product from HC pyrolysis with a...

A fast and efficient turbulence-resolving computational framework, dubbed as WInc3D (Wind Incompressible 3-Dimensional solver), is presented and validated in this paper. WInc3D offers a unified, highly-scalable, high-fidelity framework for the study of the flow structures and turbulence of wind farm wakes and their impact on the individual turbines...
During CO2 storage in depleted oil fields, under immiscible conditions, CO2 can be trapped in the pore space by capillary forces, providing safe storage over geological times - a phenomenon named capillary trapping. Synchrotron X-ray imaging was used to obtain dynamic three-dimensional images of the flow of the three phases involved in this process...
The use of thiosulfate salt (S2O32-), a low-cost reductant, as an absorbent for NO2 removal has been rarely reported. In this study, we propose a method that combines ozone oxidation and (NH4)(2)S2O3/steel slag slurry spraying to simultaneously remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gas. We investigated the effects of opera...
