The sticking and rebound behaviors of particle impaction is crucial for the prediction of ash particle deposition. In this work, we use discrete element method (DEM) to study the effect of powdery layer coverage on the sticking and rebound behaviors of particle impaction. Especially, to account for the stochasticity, 50 similar cases are simulated ...
Compared to the traditional nanofiltration (NF) membrane with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) below 500 Da, an emerging loose NF (LNF) membrane with MWCO of 500 similar to 2000 Da has attracted increasing interests due to its higher selectivity and lower operating pressure, which exhibited distinct advantages in resource recovery from biomass and w...

Biofilms play an important role in degradation, transformation and assimilation of anthropogenic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we assembled a tubular bioreactor containing a biofilm substrate and aeration device, which was introduced into mesocosms to explore the effects of bioreactor on physicochemical and microbial characterist...
Producing oligodextran with an enzymatic membrane reactor (EMR) is a promising alternative to traditional fermentation processes due to its high efficiency and environmental compatibility. Process analysis and optimization of an EMR system used for producing oligodextran are critical to improving EMR operating stability and cost effectiveness. We h...

Carbon dioxide (CO ) reduction at a plasmonically active silver cathode was investigated by varying the pressure and temperature at multiple applied potentials under both dark and illuminated conditions to understand the mechanism of selectivity changes driven by plasmon-enhanced electrochemical conversion. CO partial pressures (P ) from 0.2 to 1 a...
Metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells with symmetric architecture, having metal supports on both sides of the cell, are scaled up from button cell size to large 50 cm active area cell size. The cells remain flat after sintering assisted by the symmetric structure. Equivalent performance is achieved for button cells and large cells, and thermal cyc...
