Properties of Forest Tree Branches as an Energy Feedstock in North-Eastern Poland

Tree branches from forest tree harvesting for the timber industry are an important energy feedstock. Solid biofuel in the form of wood chips, produced from branches, is an excellent renewable energy source for generating heat and electricity. However, the properties of wood chips as a solid biofuel produced from forest tree branches can vary greatly depending on the species from which they have been produced. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the thermophysical properties and elemental composition of fresh branches harvested from nine tree species (pedunculate oak, silver birch, European ash, common aspen, grey alder, Norway maple, Scots pine, European larch and Norway spruce) over three consecutive years (2020–2022). The branches of the tree species most commonly found in Polish forests (Scots pine) were characterized by the highest heating value (an average of 20.74 GJ Mg−1 DM), the highest carbon content (an average of 55.03% DM), the lowest ash (an average of 0.60% DM) and nitrogen contents (an average of 0.32% DM), and low sulfur (an average of 0.017% DM) and chlorine contents (an average of 0.014% DM). A cluster analysis showed that the branches of all three coniferous tree species (Scots pine, Norway spruce and European larch) formed one common cluster, indicating similar properties. The branches of the European ash were characterized by the lowest wood moisture content (an average of 37.19% DM) and thus the highest lower heating value (an average of 10.50 GJ Mg−1). During the three years of the study, the chlorine and ash contents of the branches of the tree species under study exhibited the highest variability.

Elucidating dechlorination of waste polyvinyl chloride under high‐temperature catalytic hydrothermal treatment

AbstractThis study focused on evaluating the reduction of chlorine content in waste polyvinyl chloride (WPVC) through high‐temperature catalytic hydrothermal treatment (HTT). Catalytic HTT experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of noble metal catalysts (Ru/C, Pt/C, and Pd/C), residence time (0.5, 1, 2, and, 4 h), reaction temperature (300, 325, and 350°C), and catalyst loading (0, 5, and 10 wt%). The findings indicated that dechlorination efficiency can be achieved by 99.01% at 350°C and 1 h, with 10 wt% Pd/C loading. Based on chlorine balance, the chlorine content of the solid phase significantly decreased from 568.8 to 5.64 g kg−1 at the same condition. The catalytic HTT solid residue ash has low chlorine content under most operational conditions. These results suggest that catalytic HTT is an effective method to dechlorinate WPVC as a high‐halogenated waste plastic in order to reduce its harmful effect on the environment.

Distinctive Features of the Major and Trace Element Composition of Biotite from Igneous Rocks Associated with Various Types of Mineralization on the Example of the Shakhtama Intrusive Complex (Eastern Transbaikalia)

This article presents data on the composition of biotite from igneous rocks of the Shakhtama complex, which are associated with various types of mineralization in Eastern Transbaikalia: Au-Cu-Fe-skarn, skarn-porphyry, Mo-porphyry, rare-metal–greisen, Au-polymetallic and Au-Bi. The major element and halogen contents were determined by EPMA. The content of trace elements was determined by means of LA-ICP-MS. As a result, the specific traits of the composition of the biotite of igneous rocks associated with specific types of mineralization of the Eastern Transbaikalia were determined. The biotites of rare-metal–greisen deposits are characterized by the maximum content of fluorine (>2 wt. %) and low chlorine content (<0.04 wt. %). In addition, such biotites are characterized by high XFe (>0.47). Within Eastern Transbaikalia, igneous rocks developed at the Bystrinsky deposit are potentially ore-bearing for the “classic” porphyry type of mineralization. They have the highest values of IV(F/Cl) (4.9–7.1) and IV(F) (2–2.8) and the lowest values of Log(XMg/XFe) (0.1–0.4). The trace element composition clearly distinguishes biotites from rare-metal–greisen deposits and is identified by the highest contents (ppm) Ga > 65, Li > 600, Sn > 20, Mn > 2000, Cs > 50, Zn > 600. Biotites of Au-polymetallic and Au-Bi deposits occupy an average position between rare-metal–greisen and Mo-porphyry ones. Biotites of Mo-porphyry deposits differ in minimum values (ppm) of Sn < 3, Zn < 160, and low values of Li (150–290), V (290–440), and Ga (39–48). In general, the chemical composition of biotites shows that the degree of igneous rock fractionation of deposits increases in the series: porphyry–skarn–polymetallic–rare-metal.

Concentration levels, spatial variations and exchanges of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in ambient air, surface water and sediment in Bursa, Türkiye

In this study, ambient air, surface water and sediment samples were simultaneously collected and analyzed for PCBs to investigate their levels, spatial variations and exchanges between these three compartments at different sampling sites for 12 months in Bursa, Türkiye. During the sampling period, a total of 41 PCB concentrations were determined in the ambient air, surface water (dissolved and particle phase) and sediment. Thus, 945.9 ± 491.6 pg/m3 (average ± STD), 53.8 ± 54.7 ng/L, 92.8 ± 59.3 ng/L and 71.4 ± 38.7 ng/g, respectively. The highest concentrations of PCBs in the ambient air and in water particulate phase were measured at the industrial/agricultural sampling site (1308.6 ± 252.1 pg/m3 and 168.7 ± 21.2 ng/L, respectively), ∼ 4–10 times higher than background sites; while the highest concentrations in the sediment and dissolved phase were measured at the urban/agricultural sampling sites (163.8 ± 27.0 ng/L and 145.7 ± 15.3 ng/g, respectively), ∼ 5–20 times higher than background sites. PCB transitions between ambient air-surface water (fA/fW) and surface water-sediment (fW/fS) were investigated by fugacity ratio calculations. According to the fugacity ratios obtained, volatilization from the surface water to the ambient air was observed at all sampling sites (98.7 % of fA/fW ratios are <1.0). Additionally, it has been determined that there is a transport from the surface water to the sediment (100.0 % of fW/fS ratios are higher than 1.0). The flux values in ambient air-surface water and surface water-sediment environments ranged from −1.2 to 1770.6 pg/m2-day and from −225.9 to 0.001 pg/m2-day, respectively. The highest flux values were measured for PCBs with low chlorine content (Mono-, Di-Cl PCBs), while the lowest flux values were measured for the high chlorine content PCBs (Octa-, Nona- and Deca-Cl PCBs). As it was determined in this study that surface waters contaminated by PCBs have the potential to pollute both air and sediments, it will be important to take measures to protect surface waters.

Geochemistry of Accessory Apatite from the Cu–Ni–Sulfide-Bearing Ultramafic–Mafic Rocks of the Khudolaz Complex (South Urals) as a Monitor of Magmatic and Metasomatic Processes

Abstract —We present results of mineralogical and geochemical studies (optical and electron microscopy, probe microanalysis, and LA-ICP-MS) of accessory apatite from the rocks of four ore-bearing massifs of the Khudolaz Complex: Vostochnyi Buskun, Severnyi Buskun, Malyutka, and Tashly-Tau. Two groups of apatite are recognized by morphology and chemical composition: (1) “magmatic” unaltered apatite (Ap-1) in unaltered and slightly altered rocks and (2) “metasomatized” apatite (Ap-2) surrounded by secondary silicates that replaced primary minerals. Ap-1 is represented by euhedral and subhedral hexagonal crystals with a high content of chlorine (0.7–1.2 wt.% Cl) and an extremely low content of sulfur (&amp;lt;0.05 wt.% SO3). It is enriched in REE (ΣREE = 2.2–3.0 wt.%), shows a pronounced negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu* = 0.36–0.58), and is depleted in Co, Ni, and chalcophile trace elements (Zn, Pb, and Bi). The distribution of major and trace elements in Ap-1 made it possible to identify its two generations, early and late, in the Khudolaz Complex. The early generation, characterized by a low content of Ca (Т ≥ 1000 °C, CaO &amp;lt; 54 wt.%), crystallized almost simultaneously with Ca-plagioclase (An81–61). The late generation, characterized by a high content of Ca (Т ≥ 700 °C, CaO &amp;gt; 55 wt.%), is associated with Na-plagioclase (An28–8), amphibole, and phlogopite. Ap-2 is represented by highly cracked grains and is characterized by a low content of chlorine (0.0n–0.5 wt.% Cl) and a high content of sulfur (0.06–0.93 wt.% SO3). The content of fluorine in both groups of apatite varies in the same range (0.6–1.7 wt.% F), which determines its relative inertness during metasomatic processes. Ap-2 is less enriched in REE (ΣREE = 1.1–2.1 wt.%) and shows a less pronounced Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu* = 0.61–0.77) but has high contents of Co, Ni, and chalcophile trace elements. The Ap-1 and Ap-2 show different variations in contents of major elements (Fe, Mg, Na, etc.), which is due to the impact of hydrothermal fluid on the mineral at the postmagmatic stage. It is shown that the low content of sulfur in apatite from unaltered rocks does not indicate a low sulfide ore potential of the Khudolaz Complex. The Cu–Ni sulfide signature of the complex is more clearly evidenced by the composition of metasomatized apatite enriched in S, Co, Ni, and chalcophile elements as a result of their hydrothermal removal from primary sulfide minerals. The high Eu/Eu* value indicates an increase in oxygen fugacity at the postmagmatic stage.

Regularities of Сhlorine Distribution During Thermal Disposal of Chlorine-Containing Medical Waste

The results of an experimental study of the regularities of the distribution of chlorine between solid and gaseous products during the thermal decomposition of a mixture of chlorine-containing medical waste during their pyrolysis and incineration are presented. It is shown that under thermal action on the chlorine-containing components of the mixture, chlorine is partially converted into gaseous products in the form of Hcl, and partially retained by the coke-ash residue. During pyrolysis, the bulk of chlorine remains in the solid phase. It is concluded that the retention of a significant proportion of chlorine by solid products of thermal decomposition significantly reduces the possibility of dioxin synthesis at the stage of flue gas cooling due to the low content of free chlorine in them.

Ethnobotanical survey, mineral and phytochemical composition of Byttneria catalpifolia and Sida urens: Two spontaneous plants consumed in households in the city of Man

This study aims to promote the wild food plants consumed in households in the city of Man. To achieve this objective, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 90 households distributed in three districts of the city of Man, in order to inventory the wild plants that are consumed there. The survey was completed by the mineral and phytochemical analysis of two plants selected following the survey carried out in the city. The results obtained make it possible to identify 34 plant species, 27 of which have been identified, divided into 21 botanical families. The majority of the plants mentioned are consumed for their taste (87%) and as a sauce (90%). The mineral and phytochemical analysis of the plants studied Byttneria catalpifolia and Sida urens showed High levels of polyphenol (23.37± 0.82 mg EAG/gp), calcium (80.9%) in the plant Byttneria catalpifolia while the potassium (11.4%) was moderate and that copper, chlorine of flavonoid (1.77 ± 0.28 mg EQ/gp) was low. The results also revealed the presence of compounds such as terpenes, saponins, coumarins, proteins in the plant Byttneria catalpifolia The plant Sida urens showed a low content of copper (0.05%), chlorine (0.2%) and flavonoid (1.17± 0.03 mg EQ/gp) On the other hand, the moisture content (10%), ash (18%), calcium (62%), iron (14.9%), potassium (14.7%), polyphenol (29.16± 0.042 mg EAG /gp) were high. Let us remember from this study that the city of Man contains a variety of wild food plants and most of these plants contain appreciable amounts of nutrients.

Dry dechlorination of solid-derived fuels obtained from food waste and polyvinyl chloride

Solid-recovered fuels (SRFs) with low chlorine (Cl) contents are urgently needed, particularly considering the limited availability of energy resources globally. Two main sources of chlorinated pollution in municipal solid wastes, namely food waste and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), were used as raw materials for SRF production. These materials were dechlorinated using alkaline adsorbents (calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)), yielding five sample SRFs. The SRFs had low heating values (LHVs) of 14.10–15.12 MJ/kg. The alkaline adsorbents were introduced during dry dechlorination, which increased the LHVs by 8.4 MJ/g. Approximately 50 % of the total Cl content was transformed into the liquid and gaseous phases after incineration of the SRF. The PVC content was increased to increase the amount of gaseous Cl produced. Conversely, the yields of liquid and solid Cl increased when the FW content was increased. Among alkaline adsorbents, Ca(OH)2 exhibited better adsorption performance than NaHCO3. Upon mixing ~15 wt% of Ca(OH)2 with the SRFs, the highest Cl removal efficiency (77 %) in the gaseous phase was achieved. Over 90 % of the total Cl content was converted into solid-phase calcium chloride and sodium chloride by the alkaline adsorbents. The total cost of the SRF was US$85.48/t, of which labor and electricity costs accounted for 50 % and 25 %, respectively.

Characterization of a heavily corroded bronze statue from Pharaonic Egypt

The current study aims to characterize a heavily corroded bronze statue from Pharaonic Egypt, in terms of the morphology and mechanism of corrosion. The characterization was carried out by a combination of methods, including the scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), USB digital microscope, X‐ray micro‐diffraction, and Raman micro‐spectroscopy. Insights into the morphology and corrosion mechanisms of two corrosion stages are presented. Specifically, the metallic‐wall layer was first converted into grayish‐brown corrosion mottled with green and gray spots in the central part, in which a greenish‐white corrosion phase was formed in the second stage. The EDS analysis of the greenish‐white phase revealed the predominance of tin, copper, oxygen, and carbon and a low chlorine content. The greenish‐white phase consisted of four corrosion products: romarchite, cassiterite, malachite, and a small amount of atacamite. The morphology developed upon corrosion was attributed to the selective dissolution and depletion of copper in the central layer, internal oxidation of tin, and conversion of cuprite into malachite. Moreover, the usual bronze corrosion products were formed as a superficial layer on the statue.

Catalytic cracking of chlorinated heavy wax from pyrolysis of plastic wastes to low carbon-range fuels: Catalyst effect on properties of liquid products and dechlorination

Catalytic conversion of useless chlorinated heavy wax (chlorine, 0.14 wt%) obtained from pyrolysis of refuse plastic fuel was studied using iron oxide impregnated HY zeolite to produce a useful liquid product. It was found that the largest liquid fraction (gasoline and kerosene/ diesel, 66.9 wt.%) with very low chlorine content was achieved when using Fe[3]/HY among impregnated HY catalysts. This demonstrated that the Fe impregnated HY catalyst had a dual function of catalytic cracking of HY zeolite and dechlorination of iron oxide. Excessive impregnation of Fe, i.e., Fe[20]/HY, showed the least cracking activity of heavy wax owing to the catalyst having lowest total acid sites, but yielded liquid product with the lowest chlorine content (60 ppm) among the tested catalysts. The spent catalysts were deposited by a significant amount of soft coke and chlorine, and they were totally restored by thermal treatment in air (700 ℃).

Physicochemical and thermophysical characterization of rejected waste and evaluation of their use as refuse-derived fuel

The recycling of materials found in municipal solid waste (MSW) is preferable to energy recovery; however, parts of the residues are rejected and sent to landfills. Rejects can be processed and used as refuse-derived fuel (RDF); nevertheless, an assessment of the fuel properties is relevant. This work evaluated the fuel potential of rejected MSW by manually sorting recyclable products, dominated by discarded recyclable solid waste (DRSW), aiming at recovery using it as RDF in thermochemical processes. The methodologies employed contemplated the physicochemical and thermophysical characterization of samples from five different fractions (non-chlorinated plastics, paper/cardboard, textiles, Tetra Pak® packaging, and wastes in natura) and processed RDF from DRSW. The results showed that these wastes present important energetic potential (lower heating value of 19.86 MJ/kg, 79.70% of volatile matter, and 8.87% of fixed carbon), with a low chlorine content in the bottom ash (11.43%). The samples tested in this work had moisture, ash, and combustible matter percentages within the limits established by the Tanner diagram. Therefore, the use of DRSW as RDF is an alternative to waste treatment, promotes energy recovery, and reinforces the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development due to the socioenvironmental and economic benefits of using rejected waste.

In Vitro Evaluation of Polihexanide, Octenidine and NaClO/HClO-Based Antiseptics against Biofilm Formed by Wound Pathogens.

Chronic wounds complicated with biofilm formed by pathogens remain one of the most significant challenges of contemporary medicine. The application of topical antiseptic solutions against wound biofilm has been gaining increasing interest among clinical practitioners and scientific researchers. This paper compares the activity of polyhexanide-, octenidine- and hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid-based antiseptics against biofilm formed by clinical strains of Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The analyses included both standard techniques utilizing polystyrene plates and self-designed biocellulose-based models in which a biofilm formed by pathogens was formed on an elastic, fibrinous surface covered with a fibroblast layer. The obtained results show high antibiofilm activity of polihexanide- and octenidine-based antiseptics and lack or weak antibiofilm activity of hypochlorite-based antiseptic of total chlorine content equal to 80 parts per million. The data presented in this paper indicate that polihexanide- or octenidine-based antiseptics are highly useful in the treatment of biofilm, while hypochlorite-based antiseptics with low chlorine content may be applied for wound rinsing but not when specific antibiofilm activity is required.

Transfer of short-, medium-, and long-chain chlorinated paraffins to eggs of laying hens after dietary exposure

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are a complex family of contaminants. Lack of exposure data and an understanding of the fate of these chemicals in the environment affect our ability to reliably assess the human health risk associated with CP exposure. The present study focused on the evaluation of CP transfer from feed to eggs of laying hens exposed over 91 days. Laying hens were provided feed spiked with five technical mixtures of short-, medium- or long-chain CPs and featuring low or high chlorine contents, at concentrations of 200 ng/g each. Eggs were collected daily. All mixtures except the LCCPs with high chlorine content transferred into the eggs, with accumulation ratios increasing with the chain length and chlorine content. Concentrations at the steady-state varied between 41 and 1397 ng/g lw depending on the mixture. Additionally, the homologue-dependant transfer resulted in a change of pattern compared to that from the spiked feed.

Retraction of “Dechlorination of Poly(vinyl chloride) Wastes via Hydrothermal Carbonization with Lignin for Clean Solid Fuel Production”

An alternative technology has been proposed for the dechlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) wastes by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) with lignin. The organic chloride in PVC can be converted to inorganic chloride through hydrolysis, defunctionalization, recondensation, and aromatization in the HTC process. Combined with downstream washing processes by recycling the condensed water, the inorganic chloride with high water solubility is removed from the solid products (i.e., hydrochar). The presence of lignin could significantly improve the dechlorination efficiency of PVC in the HTC process. The dechlorination performance of lignocellulosic components is given as follows: lignin > cellulose > hemicellulose. In addition, lignin can adjust the particle sizes of hydrochars by inhibiting agglomeration in the order of lignin > hemicellulose > cellulose. The hydrochar particles with a low chlorine content and a high heating value could be used as a clean coal-alternative fuel.

Comparative study on inorganic Cl removal of municipal solid waste fly ash using different types and concentrations of organic acids

In this study, different organic acids—such as citric, acetic, lactic, propionic, and butyric acid—were evaluated to ascertain the optimum leaching solvent for dechlorinating fly ash. Results suggest that the acid type, concentration, and interactions between both parameters contributed significantly to the variations in the efficiency of fly ash dechlorination. Simple main-effect analysis suggested that a higher acid concentration yields better dechlorination efficiency. However, improvements in dechlorination efficiency did not necessarily yield a low chlorine content leaching residue because in a specific acid concentration region, the increased acid concentration may also accelerate the mass reduction rate of the leaching residue. Experimental results also demonstrate that citric and acetic acid yield the highest dechlorination efficiency, followed by propionic and butyric acid. The least dechlorination efficiency of lactic acid could be attributed to the formation of precipitate (i.e. calcium lactate) which might cover the chlorides and reduce the contact area of intimal chlorides with the leaching solvent. Therefore, a specific concentration of organic matter fermentation broth rich in citric and acetic radicals may present itself as an ideal water substitute for fly ash dechlorination.

Large-scale ferromagnetic enhanced Ar/Cl2 ICP

A low frequency (100 kHz) ferromagnetic enhanced inductively coupled plasma (FMICP) source has been developed to obtain a large volume of dense Cl2/Ar plasma. The influence of chlorine addition on the FMICP parameters was investigated both experimentally and numerically using a global (volume averaged) model of Ar/Cl2 discharge. Radial distributions of the positive ions flux as well as the values of FMICP voltage were measured at a fixed FMICP current of 10 A for molecular chlorine concentrations of 0–4 vol%. Plasma species densities were calculated for various values of chlorine content of 0–4 vol% and absorbed power of 500–2000 W. The calculations showed that chlorine ion density exceeds argon ion density even at low chlorine content of about 0.5 vol%. While experimentally measured discharge voltage and power increased almost linearly up to 3 times with chlorine addition, the experimental and numerical data on plasma density demonstrated only a weak dependence on the discharge power. Thereby, at a fixed FMICP current the discharge power adjusts itself to keep plasma density at the same level even despite a significant change in plasma composition.

Emissions of gaseous pollutants, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans from medical waste combustion in a batch fluidized-bed incinerator

The quantities of pollutants emitted during the incineration of medical waste using a batch fluidized-bed system have not yet been well characterized. In this study, the CO, NO, and SO2 in the gaseous emissions of a pilot scale vortexing fluidized-bed incinerator (VFBI) and the toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDD/Fs) in the fly ash collected from the baghouse were examined. Four kinds of simulated medical wastes with different chlorine contents were used. The effects of the feeding interval, chlorine content, and the addition of calcium carbonate were experimentally evaluated. The results showed that increasing the feeding interval decreased the amount of all pollutants due to the decreased bed temperature and prolonged residence time in the incinerator. The addition of calcium carbonate decreased the emissions of the three gaseous pollutants; however, the concentrations of PCDD/Fs of the fly ash increased while calcium carbonate was added. The concentration of NO and SO2 decreased while CO concentration increased with the increasing of chlorine content in the simulated medical waste. The magnitude of the effects of the operating parameters on the PCDD/F congeners formed followed the order: chlorine content > feeding interval > Ca/Cl ratio. Based on the experimental results, we extrapolate that the threshold value of the chlorine content was about 1% for PCDD/Fs generation. At a lower chlorine content, the PCDDs formation rate is higher than that at a higher chlorine content, especially for 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD and OCDD. When the chlorine content exceeds the threshold value of 1%, the formation rate of PCDFs exceeds that of PCDDs.

Characterization of the residue of a commingled post-consumer plastic waste treatment plant: a thermal, spectroscopic and pyrolysis kinetic study

A plastic packaging residue provided by a central Italy recycling facility was the subject of study of the present paper. The aim is to propose the valorization of plastic film residue (PFR) through a pyrolysis process. The PFR was thermo-chemically characterized through heating value, proximate and ultimate analysis. Fourier transformed infrared measurements have shown that PFR is constituted by 92–95 mass% of polyethylene (PE) film, around 5 mass% of PP, polystyrene (PS) < 1 mass%, PET < 1 mass% and traces of foreign materials. The extremely high percentage (98.7 mass%) of volatile matter and the low content of ash (2.1 mass%), humidity (0.6 mass%) and chlorine (0.1 mass%) make PFR an optimum candidate as load of a pyrolytic reactor. Thermogravimetry (TG) experiments were carried out at five different heating rates (2, 5, 7, 10, 12 K min−1) to determine the kinetic parameters of pyrolysis (activation energy E, pre-exponential factor A and the reaction model). No significant variation of activation energy, calculated by an integral isoconversional method proposed by Vyazovkin, is observed with increasing the degree of conversion. An average value of 264 ± 5 kJ mol−1 was estimated. Then, the Coats–Redfern method and the compensation effect were used to determine the lnA versus α data (being 41.9 the average value within the 0.25 < α < 0.85 range) and the reaction mechanism (R2 contracting cylinder model). Furthermore, the minimum energy required to pyrolyze 1 kg of PFR, about 2.27 MJ, was estimated by differential scanning calorimetry. It corresponds to about 5.5% of the exploitable energy of the input material.
