Soil utilization analysis of synergistic pyrolysis products of flue gas desulfurization gypsum and biomass

Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) is one of the typical bulk solid wastes. With its vast production and considerable storage capacity, it accumulates in substantial quantities, occupies an extensive amount of land, and poses a severe pollutant threat to the ecological environment. To achieve large-scale consumption of FGDG, this study puts forward a method for the soil utilization and ecological reconstruction involving the co-pyrolysis of FGDG and biomass. The main emphasis is placed on exploring the alterations in leaching toxicity and plant-available elements under diverse conditions of temperature, biomass addition, and pyrolysis time. The co-pyrolysis parameters were optimized, and the changes in mineral composition of FGDG and biomass under different pyrolysis circumstances were investigated using XRD and SEM characterization methods. The experimental outcomes demonstrated that the optimal pyrolysis conditions were a temperature of 700 °C, a biomass content of 60 %, and a pyrolysis time of 5 h. The toxic and harmful substances within FGDG were solidified and stabilized, achieving a harmless treatment of FGDG. Simultaneously, the usable elements for plants were released. Through the analysis of mineral composition and microstructure, it was discovered that the pyrolysis products contain a considerable amount of CaSO4 and C, and the microstructure mainly consists of porous aggregates. The reason for the reduced leaching efficiency of toxic and harmful substances might be attributed to the formation of stable minerals such as heavy metals through crystallization and vitrification mineralization after the removal of crystal water from FGDG. Under the reduction effect of C, the available elements for plants are liberated. This study furnishes a theoretical basis for the industrial application of FGDG and biomass for large-scale soil utilization treatment.

Performance analysis of refuse‐derived fuel gasification plant with carbon capture and storage for power, heating, and hydrogen production

AbstractAmong various waste‐to‐energy technologies, gasification is one of the most promising, because of high efficiency, feedstock flexibility, and carbon capture potential. This case study is focused on comprehensive analysis of integrated gasification combined cycle‐based plant with refuse‐derived fuel (RDF) as feedstock and carbon capture. As there are hardly any studies focused on simulation of waste gasification with carbon capture, most of which are lacking important process specifics, this study addresses existing research gap. Process flowsheets are developed in detail according to literature data for various process configurations and simulated in AspenPlus software, while obtained results on material and energy balance were used for estimation of plant efficiency and performance indicators. Waste generation data in Novi Sad, Serbia, were used for determination of RDF flowrate. Configurations include different syngas cleaning pathways, final products (power, heating, and hydrogen) and co‐gasification with coal. Cogeneration increases overall plant efficiency from 27%–36% (power production only) to 63%–76%. High net hydrogen efficiencies, around 58%, compensate lower power and thermal energy production in hydrogen‐based configurations. Overall, co‐gasification produces better results due to higher feedstock heating value. Obtained results will be used in further research for environmental and economic evaluation to provide multi‐level assessment of proposed processes.

Interference of mechanical damage on the physiological performance of corn seeds

Corn (Zea mays L.) is cultivated and consumed globally due to its nutritional qualities and short production cycle. However, during harvesting, processing, transportation, and storage, seeds are susceptible to various types of damage that can compromise their productive capacity, affecting both germination and plant vigor. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the physiological quality of corn seeds subjected to different types of mechanical damage. The experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Storage and Processing of Agricultural Products at the Federal University of Campina Grande, Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. Corn seeds were subjected to four types of mechanical damage: hammering, cutting, abrasion, and perforation, alongside a control sample that did not undergo any mechanical damage. Each treatment (mechanical damage) consisted of 200 seeds, which were evaluated through germination tests, including first count, germination rate, germination speed index (GSI), seedling dry weight, and root length. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design. Data were subjected to Analysis of Variance, and means were compared using the Scott-Knott test (P ≤ 0.05) when necessary. Mechanical damage reduces the germination and vigor of corn seeds. Cutting-type damage affects corn seeds more severely, reducing germination by an average of 80% and impairing vigor.

A unique solar pond system integrated with chlor-alkali electrolyser for heat storage and hydrogen production

Solar ponds are recognized as a simple, but a unique solution for renewable heat storage to use later. A freshwater feed to solar ponds is considered a crucial requirement to maintain the salinity gradient accordingly for heat storage purposes. This study aims to benefit from this specific requirement for solar ponds by integrating chlor-alkali electrolysers to produce hydrogen along with heat storage, which is a common purpose of a solar pond. Therefore, the proposed system establishes a desirable synergy, as per the sustainable development goals, between a conventional solar pond and an innovative high-tech hydrogen production system. In order to produce hydrogen, the saline water withdrawn from the upper convective zone is used in a chlor-alkali electrolyser powered by solar PV in order to produce green hydrogen. Thus, a conventional solar pond is converted into an integrated energy system that produces hydrogen and chlorine for useful purposes, along with heat storage capability. The system’s performance has been assessed in terms of the energy and exergy efficiencies for five distinct cities located in different countries that are grappling with poverty. The system’s performance, which is assessed in five cities, demonstrates the energy and exergy efficiencies ranging from 11.66 % to 14.56 % and 6.84 % to 8.60 % for the solar pond. They vary from 21.95 % to 24.22 % and from 14.23 % to 14.66 % for the overall system, respectively. Furthermore, the system effectively captures and stores solar energy, and it reaches temperatures up to 89.1°C. Moreover, the proposed system is expected to contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by addressing energy poverty, promoting clean energy, and fostering economic growth.

Exploration of microRNAs in butter and their potential influence on human health

Milk is the richest body fluid in microRNAs (miRNAs), which are small non-coding RNAs, regulating many biological processes, influencing human health. With the objective of determining their bioavailability in processed dairy products, we established the miRNomes of butter using small-RNA-Seq, identifying 526 miRNAs, including 50 % in common with milk miRNomes. The top 30 most abundant miRNAs were not the exact mirror of the top 30 miRNAs already reported in Holstein milk and milk fat miRNomes, suggesting differences during the butter production process or storage. We identified predicted miRNAs whose sequences also aligned with those of bacteria used in dairy processing. The effects of the top 30 miRNAs on human health were estimated by in silico analyses, revealing potential consequences on cell life and regulation of gene expression that could affect consumer health. Our results highlight the importance of the bioavailability of food miRNAs, including in various processed dairy foods.

Latest Findings on the Effects of Gold Nanoparticles on the Storage Quality of Blood Products (2011-2022) - A Narrative Review

Abstract: A wide range of challenges are faced during the storage of blood products, including storage lesions, contamination that must be removed, and cell and protein damage due to chemicals and UV exposure. The enhancement of stability exhibited by gold nanoparticles (GNPs) is a notable advantage of these nanoparticles for the storage of blood products. The results of our review of articles from 2011 to 2022 discussing the effect of GNPs on blood products revealed that in RBCs, the dose, concentration, amount, and surface charge of GNPs significantly affect their compatibility. Purified GNPs were compatible with RBCs. Negatively charged GNPs with smaller diameters at lower concentrations were more compatible. However, in the plasma product, the nanoparticle surface modification with different agents showed greater compatibility. PEGylated nanospheres and GNPs exhibited higher albumin conformational stability than those coated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and rods. In the platelet product, smaller GNPs and high GNP concentrations induce platelet aggregation. PEGylation increased the platelet compatibility of GNP. The combination of GNPs with human fibrinogen and clopidogrel prevented clot formation. Finally, the findings of this investigation demonstrate that GNPs are contingent on their surface charge, dosage, and concentration.

Ionic Liquid/Deep Eutectic Solvent-Mediated Calcining Synthesis of Cobalt-Based Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting.

The recent advancements of ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in the synthesis of cobalt-based catalysts for water splitting is reviewed. ILs and DESs possess unique physical and chemical properties, serving as solvents, templates, and reagents. Combined with calcination techniques, their advantages can be fully leveraged, enhancing the stability and activity of resulted catalysts. In these solvents, not only are they suitable for simple one-step calcination, but also applicable to more complex multi-step calcination, suitable for more complex reaction conditions. The designability of ILs and DESs allows them to participate in the reaction as reactants, providing metal and heteroatoms, simplifying the preparation system of cobalt phosphide, sulfide, and nitride. This work offers insights into design principles for electrocatalysts and practical guidance for the development of efficient and high-performance materials for hydrogen production and energy storage systems.

Effects of organic richness, mineral composition, diagenesis, and thermal maturity on the viscoelastic properties of organic-rich Cretaceous mudstones in the Middle Magdalena Valley basin, Colombia

A major geological risk factor for engineering and energy-related applications, such as CO2 storage and unconventional hydrocarbon production, is the geomechanical integrity of mudrocks. The goal of this work is to better constrain the macroscopic mechanical properties resulting from microstructural components by investigating the effects of thermal maturity, mineral composition, diagenesis and organic richness on the mechanical properties of Cretaceous mudstones in two surface sections (San Vicente de Chucurí and La Cristalina Creek) and one well (La Luna-1) from the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin (MMVB), Colombia. The thermal maturity of 22 rock samples was evaluated via organic source-rock screening and determination of illite crystallinity (Reichweite). Both geothermometers placed the La Luna Formation rock samples from San Vicente de Chucurí and the La Luna-1 well within the oil generation window (80°C–120 °C). In contrast, the rock samples of the Guaguaquí Group from La Cristalina Creek in the southern part of the basin are within the gas window (>180 °C). The mineralogy of organic-rich mudstones in the MMVB is dominated by quartz and calcite. Moreover, mudstones from the MMVB have a wide range of organic richness and clay contents, with organic abundances comparable to and clay contents lower than those found in other source-rock reservoirs. The Young's modulus (EIT), Martens hardness (HM), and creep (CIT), as determined through microindentation experiments, highly varied, but overall, the findings suggest that the Cretaceous rocks of the MMVB present conditions favorable for hydraulic fracturing. Furthermore, the viscoelastic properties of Cretaceous rocks in the MMVB are influenced primarily by the concentrations of strong minerals (quartz and calcite) and weak components (clay and TOC). Specifically, an increase in the concentration of weak components compared with that of strong minerals leads to an increase in CIT and a decrease in HM and EIT, and vice versa. Unlike other source-rock reservoirs, there are no indications of a strong correlation between thermal maturity and mechanical properties, suggesting a decoupling of these parameters in rocks of the MMVB. A close scanning electron microscopy examination of the rocks indicated that the observed weak to moderate correlation between thermal maturity and mechanical properties appears to result from rock silicification and calcite cementation caused by the precipitation of these minerals at early stages of diagenesis. This observation implies that the impact of diagenesis on rock geomechanics of silica-rich and calcareous-rich mudstones may override or be more important than the effects of thermal maturity, which, along with clay and organic matter contents, are the greatest controls in the geomechanics of argillaceous source-rock reservoirs.

Thermodynamic evaluation of solar energy-based methanol and hydrogen production and power generation pathways: A comparative study

This work presents a comparative evaluation of two distinct fuels, methanol and hydrogen, production and power generation routes via fuel cells. The first route includes the methanol production from direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol using solar energy, where the methanol is condensed, stored, and sent to a direct methanol fuel cell. The second route is hydrogen production from solar methane cracking (named as turquoise hydrogen), where heat is supplied from concentrated solar power, and hydrogen is stored and directed to a hydrogen fuel cell. This study aims to provide insights into these fuels' production conditions, storage methods, energy, and exergy efficiencies. The proposed system is simulated using the Engineering Equation Solver software, and a thermodynamic analysis of the entire system, including all the equipment and process streams, is performed. The methanol and hydrogen route’s overall energy and exergy efficiencies are 39.75 %, 38.35 %, 34.21 %, and 33 %, respectively. The highest exergy destruction rate of 1605 kW is observed for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol. The methanol and hydrogen routes generate 32.087 MWh and 11.582 MWh of electricity for 16-hour of fuel cell operation for the same amount of methane feedstock, respectively. Sensitivity analysis has been performed to observe the effects of different parameters, such as operating temperature and mass flow rate of fuels, on the electricity production and energy efficiencies of the systems.

Deep learning analysis of green ammonia synthesis: Evaluating techno-economic feasibility for sustainable production

This research presents a comprehensive optimization of green ammonia synthesis in Morocco by leveraging advanced deep learning techniques to maximize the utilization of the country's abundant renewable energy resources. By employing deep learning models such as LSTM and LSTM_adv, we forecast ammonia production over the next decade, improving strategies for production and energy storage. Our findings confirmed the viability of sustainable ammonia production in Dakhla and highlighted its transformative potential for global sustainability goals. Under the optimal scenario of 20 % photovoltaic and 80 % wind energy, the production cost was US$575 per tNH3, delivering an energy output of 8916.64 GWh and a daily ammonia production of 2503.36 tNH3. Shifting to 100 % wind energy further enhances the potential, increasing daily ammonia production to a maximum of 3090 tNH3 while reducing the production cost to US$376 per tNH3. These results demonstrate the significant economic and environmental benefits of using renewable energy sources for ammonia production in Morocco. By leveraging a country's abundant wind and solar resources, we can contribute to a sustainable and energy-independent future.

Improved properties of glass vials for primary packaging with atomic layer deposition

Novel pharmaceuticals and drug delivery devices may require better performance from the packaging material e.g., in terms of extractables and leachables, and unwanted interactions. To address this, we applied atomic layer deposition (ALD) to build nanometer-range SiO2, ZrO2 and Al2O3-TiO2 films on primary packaging glass. Controlled modification of the surface also enabled creation of functionality without affecting visual appearance of the material. ALD-coated Type I borosilicate vials were compared to uncoated ones, and tailored functionality was presented by appropriate measurements. The tested ALD coatings formed a barrier on glass against extractables and leachables, from the vial and the coating alike. A good ALD coating prevents any leakage into the stored drug product. Hydrolytic resistance results improved by 85–92 %, and these results correlated well with straightforward water conductivity measurements. Opposite to uncoated borosilicate glass vials, no extracted elements could be detected from the extracts of the coated vials with stable ALD films. Improved surface integrity was observed with electron microscopy as well. ALD films increased hydrophilicity of the surface and tuning the ALD film thickness and composition allowed precise blocking of UV light wavelengths, without affecting transparency. As a conclusion, ALD is a versatile method to create barrier and functional films on primary packaging materials.

Application of smart proxy model for multi-optimization of CO2-EOR design in farnsworth unit with production-injection well conversion

CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR) is an effective development strategy and an economically viable CO2 storage method for a mature oil field. In this study, a smart proxy model (SPM) was constructed to establish the optimal development strategies in Farnsworth Unit (FWU) considering CO2 storage and oil production with the production-injection well conversion. An SPM was constructed with the results of 16 reservoir simulations and was validated with an R2 values of 96.3 % and 97.5 % for the CO2 storage and oil production, respectively. The obtained Pareto front indicates a range of the optimized CO2 storage and oil production. In addition, the maximum CO2 storage case shows 260 % and 61.1 % of the CO2 storage and oil production of the base case, respectively. When the maximum oil production is targeted, the CO2 storage and oil production are respectively 66.5 % and 111.3 % of the base case. It was concluded that the SPM is effectively applicable for multi-objective optimization with fewer simulation runs and shorter time. In addition, the well conversion is a viable method to improve both the CO2 storage and oil production in the FWU during CO2-EOR process.

Analysis of oil accumulation mechanisms in plasma induced mutant Scenedesmus strains compared to original Scenedesmus strains

Scenedesmus sp. is a species of the Scenedesmus genus within the phylum Chlorophyta, commonly found as a planktonic algal species in freshwater and known for its rapid growth rate. This study employs room-temperature, atmospheric-pressure plasma mutagenesis for the breeding of Scenedesmus sp., utilizing transcriptomic analysis to investigate the biosynthesis mechanism of triglycerides. Further analysis of differentially expressed genes in transcriptome by measuring the macroscopic biological indicators of mutant and original algal strains. The findings of the study suggest that the mutant strain's photosynthesis has been enhanced, leading to improved light energy utilization and CO2 fixation, thereby providing more carbon storage and energy for biomass and lipid production. The intensification of glycolysis and the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle results in a greater shift in carbon flux towards lipid accumulation. An elevated expression level of related enzymes in starch and protein degradation pathways may enhance acetyl CoA accumulation, facilitating a larger substrate supply for fatty acid production and thereby increasing lipid yield.

Research on origin-based cold storage location and routing optimization of fresh agricultural products based on hybrid whale algorithm

With the focus on the insufficient origin-based cold storage in China, this study investigates the location and routing problem (LRP) of origin-based cold storage for fresh agricultural products. This study considers the loss of fresh agricultural products in different environments during transportation and presents a cold storage LRP model. To address this issue, a hybrid whale algorithm with heuristic rules is designed, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by standard instances. Finally, taking Chenggu County as a practical case, the influence of cold storage capacity and farmers’ demand for refrigeration are analysed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a good effect in solving medium-scale LRP. As the storage capacity increases, the total cost of the system can be increased by 0.086%. As farmers’ demand for refrigeration increases, the total cost of the system can be increased by 34.034%. Farmers’ demand has a greater impact on the system’s total costs than the cold storage capacity. When optimizing the cold storage layout, changes in fresh agricultural product output in the next few years can be roughly predicted, and the most economical optimization scheme can be obtained.

A data-driven underground gas storage production system string failure prediction model for time-varying reliability analysis

In underground gas storage (UGS) systems, the production tubing string system undergoes complex thermo-mechanical loading conditions, leading to fatigue damage accumulation and potential failure risks. To accurately assess the fatigue reliability and mitigate risks, it is crucial to develop a data-driven physics-informed uncertainty modeling approach that captures the coupled thermo-mechanical effects and accounts for various uncertainties. This study proposes a data-driven physics-informed modeling method based on thermo-mechanical coupling for fatigue reliability assessment and risk mitigation in critical UGS systems. A quantitative analysis method is introduced, which relies on small-scale multi-stage loading experiments and combines the stochastic degradation process with time-series reliability theory. To analyze the fatigue life of joints under complex loading conditions, a modified S-N curve model is developed. This model takes into account the influences of the dimension coefficient, stress concentration factors, surface finish coefficients, and thermal load. It considers the uncertainties associated with different temperature loads and surface finish on fatigue life. By integrating physics-informed modeling, uncertainty quantification, and fatigue damage accumulation analysis, this approach provides a comprehensive framework for fatigue reliability assessment and risk mitigation in critical UGS systems. It enables informed decision-making for safe and reliable operations, as well as optimized maintenance strategies, ultimately enhancing the overall system performance and mitigating potential failures.
