This study presents an integrated assessment of how material substitution can lower costs and reduce mineral demand in sustainable wind energy infrastructure. Using a multidimensional modeling framework, the study forecast demand for key minerals—including copper, neodymium, dysprosium, and nickel—between 2023 and 2050 under different global policy scenarios such as Stated Policies, Announced Pledges, and Net Zero targets. The methodology combines historical trend analysis, growth forecasting using nonlinear regression, and scenario-based projections to model future demand patterns. The study assesses how changes in price and availability influence mineral use through economic sensitivity modeling and elasticity analysis, identifying which materials are most responsive to market shifts. Risk and uncertainty are quantified using Monte Carlo simulations that model a wide range of future outcomes, including supply disruptions and policy volatility. Optimization modeling is employed to identify substitution pathways—such as advanced composites and engineered alternatives—that maintain turbine performance while reducing reliance on critical or high-cost materials. The results suggest that material substitution strategies can reduce total mineral demand by up to 25 % and cut production costs by 10–30 %, particularly in rare-earth-intensive components. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, manufacturers, and investors seeking to align energy infrastructure development with environmental and economic sustainability. While comprehensive, the analysis acknowledges certain limitations. The projections are scenario-based and depend on assumptions about technological innovation, market dynamics, and policy execution. Additionally, uncertainties in global mineral reserve data and supply chain transparency may influence the accuracy of demand forecasts. Overall, this research provides a data-driven, novel roadmap for building more resilient, cost-efficient, and environmentally responsible wind energy systems by integrating substitution technologies and sustainable material strategies.
本研究对材料替代如何降低成本和减少可持续风能基础设施的矿物需求进行了综合评估。利用多维建模框架,该研究预测了2023年至2050年间不同全球政策情景(如声明政策、宣布承诺和净零目标)下对关键矿物(包括铜、钕、镝和镍)的需求。该方法结合了历史趋势分析、使用非线性回归的增长预测和基于场景的预测来模拟未来的需求模式。该研究通过经济敏感性模型和弹性分析来评估价格和可用性的变化如何影响矿物的使用,确定哪些材料对市场变化最敏感。风险和不确定性是通过蒙特卡洛模拟来量化的,该模拟模拟了包括供应中断和政策波动在内的广泛的未来结果。优化建模用于确定替代途径,如先进的复合材料和工程替代品,以保持涡轮机的性能,同时减少对关键或高成本材料的依赖。结果表明,材料替代策略可以减少高达25%的总矿物需求,并将生产成本降低10 - 30%,特别是在稀土密集型组件中。这些发现为寻求将能源基础设施发展与环境和经济可持续性相结合的政策制定者、制造商和投资者提供了有价值的见解。该分析虽然全面,但也承认其局限性。这些预测是基于场景的,并依赖于对技术创新、市场动态和政策执行的假设。此外,全球矿产储量数据和供应链透明度的不确定性可能会影响需求预测的准确性。总的来说,这项研究提供了一个数据驱动的、新颖的路线图,通过整合替代技术和可持续材料战略,构建更具弹性、成本效益和环境责任的风能系统。

Microplastics are pervasive pollutants in soil and water that break down slowly. Microplastics can adsorb other pollutants and have a high stability, long life time, and high fragmentation potential. The widespread presence of microplastics and their possible ecological effects make their removal from the environment a critical issue at the moment. This makes it necessary to find ways to eliminate micro plastics from the water and other media. Here, we go over numerous approaches have been put forth and examined in an effort to tackle this problem. Chemical, physical, and biological techniques are used in removal processes. The primary breakdown of microplastics by bacteria, fungi, algae, and macrophytes is the main function of biological methods. Physical methods include membrane technology, adsorption, centrifugation, sedimentation, and filtration techniques. Chemical techniques contain the plasma treatment, Fenton and photo-Fenton process and thermal degradation. Every technique has benefits and drawbacks, which emphasizes the requirement for integrated strategies catered to various environmental conditions and microplastic kinds. The main topics we covered were the mechanisms, effectiveness, benefits, and drawbacks of different removal techniques.
微塑料是土壤和水中普遍存在的污染物,分解缓慢。微塑料可以吸附其他污染物,稳定性高,使用寿命长,破碎潜力大。微塑料的广泛存在及其可能的生态影响使其从环境中清除成为当前的关键问题。这使得有必要找到从水和其他介质中消除微塑料的方法。在这里,我们回顾了为解决这个问题而提出和审查的许多方法。在去除过程中使用了化学、物理和生物技术。细菌、真菌、藻类和大型植物对微塑料的主要分解是生物方法的主要功能。物理方法包括膜技术、吸附、离心、沉淀和过滤技术。化学技术包括等离子体处理、芬顿法和光芬顿法和热降解。每一种技术都有其优缺点,这就强调了需要针对不同环境条件和微塑料种类的综合策略。我们讨论的主要主题是不同移除技术的机制、有效性、优点和缺点。

Fruit waste resources are expansive carriers of fundamental minerals and chemicals that are useful in energy generation. In this work, the combination of waste avocado and banana fruit peels as an active, environmentally friendly catalyst was studied in the transesterification of Mafura kernel oil (MKO), a non-edible oil with a high FFA content of 5 %. The catalyst was produced by calcining the burnt waste fruit materials at 700 °C. The calcined biochar was further examined for structural, chemical, and thermal properties using scientific instruments such as FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, and DSC-TGA. The results showed that inorganic minerals and carbonates of Sylvite (KCl), calcium phosphate (Ca5(PO4)3), monticellite (K2MgSiO4), and potassium carbonate (K2CO3) were obtained after the calcination, which facilitated the conversion of MKO via a one-step transesterification process. The L9 orthogonal Taguchi design-response surface methodology (RSM-L9OTD) was employed to optimize and statistically characterize the transesterification process. The ideal conditions established for the process variables for the optimum yield were CH3OH: MKO molar ratio of 12:1, catalyst loading of 4.5 wt%, reaction temperature of 65 °C, and time 80 min. The results showed that the Mafura kernel methyl ester (MKOME), which is within the ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 specified standard, was obtained at a confirmatory optimum yield of 96.06 % using the above conditions. Thus, the utilized feedstock offers attractive feasibility to sustainable biodiesel development.
水果废料资源是基本矿物和化学物质的广泛载体,在能源生产中很有用。本研究以废牛油果和香蕉果皮为催化剂,研究了牛油果仁油(MKO)的酯交换反应。牛油果仁油是一种非食用油脂,游离脂肪酸含量高达5%。该催化剂是由燃烧后的废水果原料在700℃下煅烧制备的。利用FT-IR、XRD、SEM、EDS和DSC-TGA等科学仪器对煅烧后的生物炭进行了进一步的结构、化学和热性能检测。结果表明:焙烧后可得到碳酸钾(KCl)、磷酸钙(Ca5(PO4)3)、蒙脱石(K2MgSiO4)和碳酸钾(K2CO3)等无机矿物和碳酸盐,有利于MKO的一步酯交换转化。采用L9正交田口设计-响应面法(RSM-L9OTD)对酯交换过程进行优化和统计表征。结果表明,在此条件下,得到的马ura核甲酯(MKOME)的最佳产率为96.06%,符合ASTM D6751和EN 14214的标准要求,反应温度为65℃,反应时间为80 min, CH3OH: MKO摩尔比为12:1。因此,利用的原料为生物柴油的可持续发展提供了诱人的可行性。

Oil spill impact negatively on the environment. Its remediation has been very challenging, and researchers have developed high efficient methods in handling this anomaly, but end up introducing secondary pollutants to the environment. The aim of this study is to synthesise a copper-based organometallogelator with cholesteryl chloroformate and apply it for oil spill remediation in water. In the methodology, the aromatic linker coded CuAL (copper aromatic linker) was first synthesised from a reaction of copper complex (coper reacting with hydrazine) with isophthaloyl chloride, then cholesteryl chloroformate was added to produce a gelator coded CuGe (copper gelator) with the A(LS)2 (aromatic, linker and steroid) network, which were subsequently characterised. MS results for CuAL and CuGe showed fragments corresponding to the proposed structures, and were both highly crystalline, especially CuGe. Aliphatic primary amines, aromatic rings, aromatic overtones, and conjugated ketones were present in both CuAL and CuGe, with slight variation in peak positions, and the average particle diameter were 5.9 μm (CuAL), and 47.0 μm (CuGe), respectively. The synthesised compounds were thermally stable up to 338 °C (60.1 %) for CuAL and 469.9 °C (74.1 %) for CuGe. Heating-cooling gelation test was positive for methanol, petroleum motor spirit (PMS), kerosene (KSE), and crude oil (COL), with the longest time being 9 min. The highest gelation time and temperature (Tgel) at 2 mg were 3 min (for PMS), and 60 °C for COL respectively. Sorption capacities were 3.0 ± 0.3, 2.0 ± 0.1, and 3.7 ± 0.3 3.0, for PMS, KSE, and COL respectively. The removal efficiency CuGe was 95 % for COL, 89 % for PMS, and 80 % for KSE and is recyclable. In conclusion, a thermally stable, crystalline, eco-friendly, and recyclable copper-cholesteryl chloroformate-based metallogelator has been successfully synthesised. The gelator, CuGe, was successfully applied in the gelation of KSE, PMS, and COL from water with good efficiencies.
石油泄漏对环境有负面影响。它的修复非常具有挑战性,研究人员已经开发出高效的方法来处理这种异常,但最终会向环境引入二次污染物。本研究以氯甲酸胆甾醇为原料合成铜基有机金属阻隔剂,并将其应用于水中溢油的修复。在该方法中,首先由铜络合物(铜与肼反应)与异苯甲酰氯反应合成编码CuAL(铜芳香连接剂)的芳香连接剂,然后加入氯甲酸胆固醇生成编码CuGe(铜凝胶剂)的a (LS)2(芳香,连接剂和类固醇)网络,随后对其进行表征。质谱结果显示,CuAL和CuGe的片段与所提出的结构相对应,并且都是高度结晶的,尤其是CuGe。CuAL和CuGe中均存在脂肪族伯胺、芳香环、芳香泛音和共轭酮,峰位变化不大,平均粒径分别为5.9 μm (CuAL)和47.0 μm (CuGe)。所合成的化合物在338°C(60.1%)和469.9°C(74.1%)的温度下热稳定。甲醇、石油汽油机(PMS)、煤油(KSE)和原油(COL)的加热-冷却凝胶实验均呈阳性,最长凝胶时间为9 min, 2 mg时最高凝胶时间为3 min (PMS),最高凝胶温度为60℃(COL)。PMS、KSE和COL的吸附量分别为3.0±0.3、2.0±0.1和3.7±0.3 3.0。对COL的去除率为95%,对PMS的去除率为89%,对KSE的去除率为80%。总之,我们成功合成了一种热稳定、结晶、环保、可回收的铜-胆甾醇氯甲酸盐基金属亲和剂。该凝胶剂CuGe成功地应用于KSE、PMS和COL的凝胶化,并取得了良好的效果。

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) demonstrates significant potential for post-combustion CO2 capture from coal-fired flue gas (15 % CO2/85 % N2). This study systematically investigates two-bed, four-bed, and six-bed structural configurations of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems to elucidate the purity-recovery trade-off relationship. The six-bed process, incorporating triple pressure equalization steps, achieves the breakthrough performance of 92.7 % CO2 purity and 92.4 % recovery under industrially feasible conditions (10 bar adsorption pressure, 40 s cycle time), surpassing conventional two-bed systems where neither metric exceeds 90 %. While the four-bed configuration attains ultra-high purity (∼99 % CO2), its scalability in recovery remains constrained. Rigorous optimization of operational parameters (adsorption pressure, cycle time, bed aspect ratio) balances energy efficiency and separation performance. Results highlight multi-bed PSA, particularly the six-bed system, as a scalable solution for industrial CO2 capture, effectively bridging the gap between high-purity benchmarks and practical recovery targets.
变压吸附(PSA)显示了从燃煤烟气(15% CO2/ 85% N2)中捕获燃烧后二氧化碳的巨大潜力。本研究系统地研究了两床、四床和六床变压吸附(PSA)系统的结构配置,以阐明纯度-回收率的权衡关系。在工业可行的条件下(10 bar吸附压力,40 s循环时间),采用三个压力均衡步骤的六床工艺实现了92.7%的二氧化碳纯度和92.4%的回收率的突破性性能,超过了传统的两床系统,两者的指标都不超过90%。虽然四层结构可以获得超高纯度(~ 99% CO2),但其可扩展性仍然受到限制。严格优化的操作参数(吸附压力,循环时间,床长比)平衡能源效率和分离性能。结果表明,多床PSA,特别是六床系统,作为一种可扩展的工业二氧化碳捕集解决方案,有效地弥合了高纯度基准和实际回收目标之间的差距。

The adoption of alternative fuels can boost energy security and minimize carbon emissions. Addressing the global climate change challenge, many countries have committed to net-zero targets. Achieving net-zero emissions necessitates decarbonizing every sector of the economy. Hydrogen, produced from renewable energy, poses minimal environmental risks, and expanding its production will aid in meeting net-zero goals. The present study investigates the impact of hydrogen induction with diesel and biodiesel (lemon and orange peel oils) in dual fuel operation to evaluate the engine performance and emissions characteristics. A single-cylinder, diesel engine was used for experimentation. The hydrogen flow rates of 4 litres per minute (L/min),6 L/min, and 8 L/min were used with diesel and biodiesel. A 32.12 % increase in Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and a 22.89 % decrease in Brake Specific Energy Consumption (BSEC) were observed when using pure diesel combined with 6 L/min of hydrogen gas. The addition of hydrogen significantly reduced exhaust emissions. Being a carbon-free fuel, hydrogen does not directly contribute to the formation of carbon-related pollutants such as CO, HC, and PM. Furthermore, its high diffusivity and wide flammability range promote superior mixing with intake air, which enhances the homogeneity of the charge and facilitates more complete combustion. The introduction of hydrogen acts as a combustion enhancer, enabling leaner combustion with higher flame propagation rates and more efficient oxidation of the primary fuel. Diesel combined with 6 L/min of hydrogen resulted in minimal Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbons (HC) as well as lower Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and smoke emissions. But the increase in cylinder temperature and pressures led to a rise in Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions caused by hydrogen addition.
采用替代燃料可以促进能源安全并最大限度地减少碳排放。为应对全球气候变化挑战,许多国家已承诺实现净零目标。实现净零排放需要每个经济部门去碳化。由可再生能源生产的氢对环境的风险最小,扩大其生产将有助于实现净零目标。本研究考察了柴油和生物柴油(柠檬油和橙皮油)在双燃料运行中的氢诱导影响,以评估发动机的性能和排放特性。实验使用了一台单缸柴油发动机。氢气流速分别为4升/分钟(L/min)、6升/min和8升/min,用于柴油和生物柴油。当使用纯柴油和6升/分钟的氢气时,制动热效率(BTE)提高了32.12%,制动比能耗(BSEC)降低了22.89%。氢气的加入大大减少了废气排放。作为一种无碳燃料,氢不会直接导致CO、HC和PM等碳相关污染物的形成。此外,它的高扩散率和宽可燃性范围促进了与进气的良好混合,从而提高了装药的均匀性,有助于更完全的燃烧。氢气的引入起到了燃烧助燃剂的作用,使燃烧更稀薄,火焰传播速率更高,一次燃料的氧化效率更高。柴油与6升/分钟的氢气相结合,产生最小的一氧化碳(CO)和碳氢化合物(HC),以及更低的二氧化碳(CO2)和烟雾排放。但钢瓶温度和压力的升高导致加氢引起的氮氧化物(NOx)排放增加。

Addressing the global climate change challenge, many countries have committed to net-zero targets. Achieving net-zero emissions necessitates decarbonizing every sector of the economy.

The present study investigates the impact of hydrogen induction with diesel and biodiesel (lemon and orange peel oils) in dual fuel operation to evaluate the engine performance and emissions characteristics. A single-cylinder, diesel engine was used for experimentation. The hydrogen flow rates of 4 litres per minute (L/min),6 L/min, and 8 L/min were used with diesel and biodiesel. A 32.12 % increase in Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and a 22.89 % decrease in Brake Specific Energy Consumption (BSEC) were observed when using pure diesel combined with 6 L/min of hydrogen gas. The addition of hydrogen significantly reduced exhaust emissions. Being a carbon-free fuel, hydrogen does not directly contribute to the formation of carbon-related pollutants such as CO, HC, and PM. Furthermore, its high diffusivity and wide flammability range promote superior mixing with intake air, which enhances the homogeneity of the charge and facilitates more complete combustion. The introduction of hydrogen acts as a combustion enhancer, enabling leaner combustion with higher flame propagation rates and more efficient oxidation of the primary fuel.

Industrial wastewater contaminated with proteins and phosphates poses a significant challenge for producing clean water. This study innovatively employed regression-based machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the separation performance of proteins with varying molecular weights from synthetic phosphate-laden wastewater using commercially available membranes with different pore sizes. The chosen ML tools are bi-layered neural network (BNN), linear regression (LR), least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), and Gaussian process regression (GPR). Correlation was employed to select the most pertinent variables for constructing an effective model combination while safeguarding against data leakage within the frugal dataset. Among the ML tools, the BNN and GPR algorithms demonstrated effective predictive capabilities for protein rejection. The collaborative integration of all input variable combinations resulted in superior predictive accuracy (R²=0.99) for protein rejection, showcasing minimal error rates for both the BNN and GPR algorithms. Interpretable SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis indicated that the molecular weight cutoff (MWCO), protein molecular weight (PMw), and isoelectric point (IEP) were the most influential factors affecting protein separation performance, with mean SHAP values of approximately 25, 12, and 15, respectively. The ML tools revealed that the input variables of MWCO, PMw, and IEP exerted a more substantial impact compared to hydro-dynamic variables. This study provides insights into advancing the development of ML tools tailored to sparse datasets, particularly for accurately predicting protein separation from phosphate-laden wastewater.
被蛋白质和磷酸盐污染的工业废水对生产清洁水提出了重大挑战。本研究创新性地采用了基于回归的机器学习(ML)算法,利用市售的不同孔径的膜,预测了不同分子量的蛋白质从含磷合成废水中的分离性能。选择的机器学习工具是双层神经网络(BNN)、线性回归(LR)、最小二乘支持向量机(LSSVM)和高斯过程回归(GPR)。采用相关性来选择最相关的变量,以构建有效的模型组合,同时防止节俭数据集中的数据泄漏。在ML工具中,BNN和GPR算法显示出对蛋白质排斥的有效预测能力。所有输入变量组合的协作集成导致了蛋白质排斥的卓越预测精度(R²=0.99),BNN和GPR算法的错误率都最小。SHapley可解释性解释(SHapley Additive explanation, SHAP)分析表明,分子量截断值(MWCO)、蛋白质分子量(PMw)和等电点(IEP)是影响蛋白质分离性能的主要因素,其SHapley可解释性解释值的平均值分别约为25、12和15。ML工具显示,与水动力变量相比,MWCO、PMw和IEP的输入变量具有更大的影响。该研究为推进针对稀疏数据集的ML工具的开发提供了见解,特别是用于准确预测从含磷酸盐废水中分离蛋白质。

Cutting fluids have long occupied an essential position in industrial manufacturing, but traditional mineral oil-based cutting fluids have limited their application in advanced manufacturing due to hazardous health, non-degradability, and poor thermal conductivity and cleaning ability. To this end, MXene (Ti3C2) was combined with oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsion prepared from β-cyclodextrin-stabilized cottonseed oil to develop a new, highly efficient, environmentally friendly nano-cutting fluid. Among them, β-cyclodextrin, a cyclic oligosaccharide, can be employed as Pickering particles to improve the antioxidant and emulsion stability of cottonseed oil; MXene, an emerging class of 2D nanomaterials possessing excellent lubricating properties, mechanical properties, and thermal stability, is an ideal material for the preparation of high-performance nano-cutting fluids. Optimized by the response surface design, the prepared Pickering emulsion with MXene (0.1wt.%) remained stable for about a month without delamination and improved the thermal conductivity by 136.4 % compared to cottonseed oil. Meanwhile, the coefficient of friction (COF), wear spot diameter (WSD), and tapping torque of Pickering emulsion with MXene were reduced by 35.64 %, 10.90 %, and 17.13 %, respectively, compared with cottonseed oil, and also outperformed commercial cutting fluids. The reduction is attributed to the fact that the oxygen functional groups on the surface of MXene can form hydrogen bonds, which are adsorbed on the friction side to form a strong and dense lubricant film.
切削液长期以来在工业制造中占据着重要的地位,但传统矿物油基切削液由于危害健康、不可降解、导热性和清洁能力差等问题,限制了其在先进制造中的应用。为此,将MXene (Ti3C2)与由β-环糊精稳定的棉籽油制备的油包水(O/W) Pickering乳液结合,开发出一种新型、高效、环保的纳米切削液。其中,环低聚糖β-环糊精可作为酸洗颗粒,提高棉籽油的抗氧化性和乳化稳定性;MXene是一类新兴的二维纳米材料,具有优异的润滑性能、机械性能和热稳定性,是制备高性能纳米切削液的理想材料。通过响应面设计优化,制备的含MXene (0.1wt.%)的Pickering乳状液稳定性约1个月,无分层现象,导热系数较棉籽油提高136.4%。同时,与棉籽油相比,加入MXene的Pickering乳化液的摩擦系数(COF)、磨损斑直径(WSD)和攻丝扭矩分别降低了35.64%、10.90%和17.13%,也优于工业切削液。这是由于MXene表面的氧官能团可以形成氢键,这些氢键被吸附在摩擦侧,形成坚固致密的润滑膜。

The perennial disparity between supply and demand of energy as a result of burgeoning populations, expeditious urbanisation and industrialisation has driven the need for alternative energy sources. Biodiesel has emerged as a promising vehicular fuel due to its similar physiochemical properties to mineral diesel and its potential to minimise environmental impact. However, the commercialisation of biodiesel production faces challenges, particularly related to feedstock and catalyst selection. This study explored the utilisation of waste laboratory glass to synthesize heterogeneous catalyst for producing biodiesel from a blend of beef tallow and waste cooking oil. Heterogeneous catalysts are crucial for achieving high conversion efficiency, reusability, ease of separation and minimal environmental degradation. The particle size distribution of the catalysts was heterogeneous, with 23.33 % of particles passing 710 μm, 30.83 % passing 500 μm, and 45.83 % passing 350 μm. XRF analysis revealed that silica was the primary elemental constituent, comprising over 70 % of the total sample composition, and successful incorporation of Na, Mg, and Zn in the respective treated catalysts was observed. FTIR analysis of the calcined and uncalcined catalysts showed a sharp decrease in hydroxyl functional groups, indicating successful calcination. All glass-based catalyst samples exhibited strong Si-O-Si vibration stretches around 1100cm1, confirming the presence of silicon as the glass precursor. The FTIR results of the crude biodiesel samples produced by the catalysts at 15 min intervals showed that the NaOH treated glass-based catalyst exhibited the fastest transesterification reaction.. The results showed that the NaOH treated, MgO treated, Zncl2 treated, and control glass-based catalysts achieved catalyst yields of 80.63 %, 86.13 %, 91.38 %, and 94.25 % respectively, upon calcination. Furthermore, the produced biodiesel was characterised to evaluate its fuel properties: the tested parameters kinematic viscosity, density, flash point and acid value were within the desirable limits for biodiesel according to American and European standards . Moreover, the catalyst showed that it can be reused as after six cycles of reuse a biodiesel yield above 89 % was realised.
由于人口迅速增长、城市化和工业化的加速,能源供需之间的长期差距推动了对替代能源的需求。由于生物柴油具有与矿物柴油相似的物理化学特性,并且具有将环境影响降到最低的潜力,生物柴油已成为一种很有前途的汽车燃料。然而,生物柴油生产的商业化面临着挑战,特别是在原料和催化剂选择方面。本研究探索利用废弃实验室玻璃合成多相催化剂,从牛油和废食用油的混合物中生产生物柴油。多相催化剂是实现高转化效率、可重复使用、易于分离和最小环境退化的关键。催化剂粒径分布不均匀,达到710 μm的占23.33%,达到500 μm的占30.83%,达到350 μm的占45.83%。XRF分析表明,二氧化硅是主要元素成分,占样品总成分的70%以上,并且观察到Na, Mg和Zn在各自处理的催化剂中成功掺入。对煅烧和未煅烧催化剂的FTIR分析表明,羟基官能团急剧减少,表明煅烧成功。所有玻璃基催化剂样品都表现出强烈的Si-O-Si振动延伸,约为1100cm−1,证实了硅作为玻璃前驱体的存在。用该催化剂制备的生物柴油样品,间隔15 min后的FTIR结果表明,NaOH处理的玻璃基催化剂的酯交换反应速度最快。结果表明,NaOH处理、MgO处理、Zncl2处理和对照玻璃基催化剂焙烧后的催化剂收率分别为80.63%、86.13%、91.38%和94.25%。此外,对生产的生物柴油进行表征以评估其燃料性能:根据美国和欧洲标准,测试参数运动粘度,密度,闪点和酸值均在生物柴油的理想范围内。此外,该催化剂可以重复使用,经过六次循环使用,生物柴油的产量达到89%以上。
