Due to significant CO₂ emissions, atmospheric CO₂ levels have surpassed 423 ppm for the first time in recorded history, nearly doubling its level from that over the past few hundred thousand years. The primary contributor to this accumulation is anthropogenic release of CO₂. Addressing the challenge of reducing atmospheric CO₂ requires developing carbon-neutral industrial processes to replace current CO₂-intensive methods and innovating low-cost technologies for capturing and converting CO₂, and exploring its potential as a feedstock for fuels and societal staples. In pursuit of these goals, efforts have focused on sustainable methods for industrial production without a high carbon footprint, for which the Solar Thermal Electrochemical Process (STEP) was developed. In STEP, solar UV–visible energy powers a photovoltaic device for high temperature electrolysis, while solar thermal energy heats another system crucial for the electrolytic processes for carbon capture and to generate societal staples, such as H₂ or syngas, iron, aluminum, lithium, magnesium, oxygen and chlorine at low energy and without CO₂. This comprehensive use of sunlight enhances the overall efficiency of solar energy conversion compared to other methods. Applications of STEP include CO₂-free synthesis of iron, bleach and fuels.

由于大量的二氧化碳排放，大气中的二氧化碳含量在有记录的历史中首次超过了百万分之423，几乎是过去几十万年的两倍。这种积累的主要原因是人为释放二氧化碳。应对减少大气中二氧化碳的挑战，需要开发碳中和的工业过程，以取代目前的二氧化碳密集型方法，创新低成本的技术来捕获和转化二氧化碳，并探索其作为燃料和社会主要原料的潜力。在实现这些目标的过程中，人们一直在努力寻找不产生高碳足迹的可持续工业生产方法，为此开发了太阳能热电化学过程（STEP）。在STEP中，太阳能紫外可见能量为用于高温电解的光伏设备供电，而太阳能热能加热另一个系统，该系统对碳捕获的电解过程至关重要，并以低能量和无二氧化碳的方式产生社会主要物质，如H2或合成气、铁、铝、锂、镁、氧和氯。与其他方法相比，这种对阳光的综合利用提高了太阳能转换的整体效率。STEP的应用包括无二氧化碳合成铁、漂白剂和燃料。

In-situ monitoring of grease consistency 润滑脂浓度的现场监测

Invention Disclosure

Pub Date : 2024-12-24 DOI: 10.1016/j.inv.2024.100036

The present work proposes a novel in-situ measurement technology to monitor the complex evolution of consistency during grease manufacturing. Variations in raw materials, environmental conditions, and human errors often lead to inconsistencies in the final grease consistency across production batches, causing product wastage, rework, higher costs, and production delays. To guide grease manufacturers in achieving consistent final products, a technology was developed and patented to enable real-time monitoring of rheological properties using accumulated entropy generation (AEG), a parameter derived from the principles of irreversible thermodynamics. A process sensor unit (PSU) was developed to measure AEG by recording real-time current, voltage, and process temperatures in a 5000 kg grease kettle. Tests on NLGI grade 2 and grade 1.5 grease batches demonstrated a strong linear correlation between AEG values and grease consistency, enabling a predictive model for consistency control for future batches.

本工作提出了一种新的原位测量技术来监测润滑脂制造过程中稠度的复杂演变。原材料、环境条件和人为错误的变化通常会导致生产批次中油脂的最终稠度不一致，从而导致产品浪费、返工、更高的成本和生产延迟。为了指导润滑脂制造商获得一致的最终产品，他们开发了一项技术，并获得了专利，该技术可以利用累积熵生成（AEG）实时监测流变特性，AEG是一种源自不可逆热力学原理的参数。开发了一个过程传感器单元（PSU），通过记录5000公斤油脂釜中的实时电流、电压和过程温度来测量AEG。对NLGI 2级和1.5级油脂批次的测试表明，AEG值与油脂稠度之间存在很强的线性相关性，这为未来批次的稠度控制提供了预测模型。

Decarbonization of iron production 铁生产的去碳化

Invention Disclosure

Pub Date : 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.inv.2024.100033

Stuart Licht

Today's carbothermal process for producing iron from iron ore has a high carbon footprint causing massive CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere. Alternatives are needed to mitigate the climate change effects of rising CO₂ concentrations. This invention is a low carbon footprint, zero CO₂ emission, alternative iron production process. Iron oxide ore is discovered to be highly soluble in certain molten carbonates, such as lithium carbonate. Iron is produced electrolytically in these molten salts at approximately 750°C by splitting iron oxide into iron metal and oxygen. This is a high efficiency, low energy, low-carbon footprint alternative to the massive CO₂ emissions associated with the conventional iron industry.

如今，从铁矿石中生产铁的碳热法工艺碳足迹很大，导致大量二氧化碳排放到大气中。需要有替代方法来缓解二氧化碳浓度上升对气候变化的影响。本发明是一种低碳足迹、零二氧化碳排放的铁生产替代工艺。人们发现，氧化铁矿石在某些熔融碳酸盐（如碳酸锂）中的溶解度很高。通过将氧化铁分裂成金属铁和氧气，可在约 750°C 的温度下在这些熔盐中电解生产铁。这是一种高效率、低能耗、低碳足迹的替代方法，可替代传统炼铁业所产生的大量二氧化碳排放。

In this invention, a novel cancer drug is formed by Cu(II) and Fe(III) binding the medicinal molecule Paclitaxel (PAC). This complexation increases the water solubility of the taxane, alters the structure so resistance mechanisms do not recognize it, and adds additional toxicity. The copper (II) species can generate reactive oxidation species (ROS) and randomly bind and distort proteins within a cancer cell. Cu(II) also plays a role in accelerating angiogenesis and creates a Trojan horse effect that increases its uptake rate by the cancer cells. The empirical formula for the complex is Cu_xFe_yPAC₁, where X + Y equals a value between 0 and 10.

在本发明中，Cu(II)和Fe(III)与药物分子紫杉醇（PAC）结合形成了一种新型抗癌药物。这种络合增加了紫杉醇的水溶性，改变了其结构，使抗药性机制无法识别，并增加了毒性。铜（II）物种可产生活性氧化物种（ROS），并随机结合和扭曲癌细胞内的蛋白质。铜（II）还能加速血管生成，并产生特洛伊木马效应，提高癌细胞的吸收率。该复合物的经验公式为 CuxFeyPAC1，其中 X + Y 等于 0 到 10 之间的数值。

A one-pot hydrothermal carbonization-sulfonation procedure was employed to develop robust, carbon-based solid catalyst sulfonic acid functionalized carbonaceous material (SAFACAM) possessing acidic functions up to 5.31 mmol g⁻¹ for the first time at 80 °C. With its atom-efficient, one-pot preparation from a plentiful natural biomass derivative (glucose), the current catalyst benefits the environment and has the potential to lower the overall cost of producing biodiesel by converting cheap raw materials. The diminishing supply of fossil fuels coupled with the polluting effects of their use is driving the quest for more sustainable sources of energy. The pursuit of producing biodiesel from affordable, non-edible oil has become progressively significant due to its dual benefits of sustainability and cost-efficiency. In this context, Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) has gained attention in the energy sector, as it holds promise as a viable feedstock for biodiesel manufacturing and a renewable energy solution for numerous nations. Additionally, the catalyst exhibited exceptional physical stability and reactivity throughout 5 consecutive cycles, establishing its potential as a highly promising catalyst for sustainable biodiesel manufacture.

通过水热碳化-磺化一步法，首次在 80 °C 下开发出了具有高达 5.31 mmol g-1 酸性功能的碳基固体催化剂磺酸功能化碳质材料 (SAFACAM)。目前的催化剂采用原子效率高的方法，从丰富的天然生物质衍生物（葡萄糖）中进行单锅制备，有利于保护环境，并有可能通过转化廉价原料降低生物柴油的总体生产成本。化石燃料的供应日益减少，加上使用化石燃料造成的污染，促使人们寻求更可持续的能源。从价格低廉的非食用油中生产生物柴油具有可持续发展和成本效益的双重优势，因此其意义日益重大。在这种情况下，麻疯树油（JCO）在能源领域受到关注，因为它有望成为生物柴油生产的可行原料，并为许多国家提供可再生能源解决方案。此外，该催化剂在连续 5 个循环中表现出优异的物理稳定性和反应活性，使其成为一种极具潜力的可持续生物柴油生产催化剂。

The carbon dioxide free production of cement 无二氧化碳水泥生产

Invention Disclosure

Pub Date : 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.inv.2024.100034

Stuart Licht

Following power generation, cement stands as the second-largest industrial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, in this invention a new molten salt chemistry now enables solar thermal energy to drive to calcium oxide production, completely eliminating carbon dioxide emissions during cement production. This achievement is realized through a one-pot electrochemical synthesis method with both environmental benefits and cost efficiency. Two modes of the invention include a direct mode in which limestone is electrochemically converted to lime without CO₂ emission, and the indirect mode in which the CO₂ from the conventional production of lime is electrochemically converted to carbon. This invention is currently undergoing scale-up with support of the Emissions Reduction Alberta Grant IT0162473. We are looking for collaborators, joint-venturers and investors.
