Microwave heating is a promising technique for heterogeneous catalytic reactions in plastic decomposition. The microwave-insensitive plastic material requires microwave-absorbing catalysts to facilitate catalytic-assisted decomposition and synergistic heating. However, the heating characteristics of catalyst particles within the microwave system is still unclear. In this study, the effects of particle size, particle arrangement direction, and particle shape on the microwave heating behavior of particles was investigated, and the model was experimentally validated and analyzed using infrared temperature data. The simulation results indicated that the heating rate increased as the particle size enlarged, with an average heating rate of 5.56 °C/s for the particle with a radius of 5 mm in comparison to 4.29 °C/s for that of 1 mm. Additionally, when particles were aligned parallel to the applied electric field, the electric field was intensely focused at the interparticle area, with a maximum electric field strength difference of 2.2 × 104 V/m in the samples. In contrast, the horizontal placement resulted in reduced electric field intensity (4.7 × 103 V/m) and lower temperatures (62 °C) near the areas adjacent to the particles compared to the maximum values in the particles. With respect to particle shape, cylindrical particles possessing larger aspect ratios exhibited superior heating performance due to the extended span of intraparticle microwave transmission aligned with the electric field direction but also resulted in increased thermal field distribution inhomogeneity. The research offers theoretical guidance to prevent catalyst sintering and promote microwave-assisted catalytic plastic decomposition.

微波加热是塑料分解过程中一种前景广阔的异相催化反应技术。对微波不敏感的塑料材料需要微波吸收催化剂来促进催化辅助分解和协同加热。然而,催化剂颗粒在微波系统中的加热特性尚不清楚。本研究研究了颗粒尺寸、颗粒排列方向和颗粒形状对颗粒微波加热行为的影响,并利用红外温度数据对模型进行了实验验证和分析。模拟结果表明,加热速率随着颗粒尺寸的增大而增加,半径为 5 毫米的颗粒的平均加热速率为 5.56 ℃/秒,而半径为 1 毫米的颗粒的平均加热速率为 4.29 ℃/秒。此外,当粒子平行于外加电场排列时,电场强烈集中在粒子间区域,样品中的最大电场强度差为 2.2 × 104 V/m。相反,水平放置则导致电场强度降低(4.7 × 103 V/m),与颗粒内的最大值相比,颗粒邻近区域附近的温度较低(62 °C)。在颗粒形状方面,具有较大长宽比的圆柱形颗粒由于延长了与电场方向一致的颗粒内微波传输跨度而表现出更优越的加热性能,但同时也增加了热场分布的不均匀性。该研究为防止催化剂烧结和促进微波辅助催化塑料分解提供了理论指导。

Sr–Fe oxides are suitable oxygen carriers (OCs) with excellent cyclic stability. However, the moderate redox activity causes a deficiency in H2 yield in chemical looping reforming coupled with water splitting (CLR-WS) process. Herein, we designed and prepared the composite xNiFe2O4/(1-x)SrFe12O19 OCs by ball milling method, which exhibited both high redox activity and high cyclic stability during reactions. A series of characterizations showed that the introduction of NiFe2O4 promoted the oxygen vacancy formation and the release of lattice oxygen, facilitating the reforming of bioethanol in fuel reactor (FR). During CLR-WS process, a high carbon conversion of 79.20 % and a H2 yield of 13.23 mmol/g OC were achieved by 3Ni7Sr OC at 800 °C, outperforming that of the conventional SrFe12O19 OC. Moreover, the severe carbon deposition and sintering issues inherent to NiFe2O4 were avoided due to the presence of Sr. All Sr-containing composite OCs showed H2 purity exceeding 99.26 % and excellent cycling stability with no apparent activation of oxygen transport capacity over 3000 min redox reactions.

锶铁氧化物是合适的氧载体(OC),具有出色的循环稳定性。然而,适度的氧化还原活性会导致化学循环重整耦合水裂解(CLR-WS)过程中 H2 产率的不足。在此,我们采用球磨法设计并制备了 xNiFe2O4/(1-x)SrFe12O19 复合 OCs,该 OCs 在反应过程中表现出高氧化还原活性和高循环稳定性。一系列表征结果表明,NiFe2O4 的引入促进了氧空位的形成和晶格氧的释放,有利于生物乙醇在燃料反应器(FR)中的重整。在 CLR-WS 过程中,3Ni7Sr OC 在 800 ℃ 下实现了 79.20 % 的高碳转化率和 13.23 mmol/g OC 的 H2 产率,优于传统的 SrFe12O19 OC。此外,由于 Sr 的存在,避免了 NiFe2O4 所固有的严重碳沉积和烧结问题。所有含 Sr 的复合 OC 都显示出超过 99.26 % 的 H2 纯度和出色的循环稳定性,在 3000 分钟的氧化还原反应中,氧传输能力没有明显活化。

The rapid increase in automobile ownership has brought about an increase in pollutant emissions, the blending of alcohols can effectively reduce conventional pollutant emissions from diesel engines. However, alcohols have poor inter-solubility with diesel fuel. This study investigates the effects of blending different alcohols on the spray and combustion characteristics of diesel, with biodiesel as the cosolvent. The results show that among the three alcohols, blending methanol has the best improvement in the gas-liquid phase spray characteristics, followed by ethanol and propanol. The GL-SCA and GL-SPA of the methanol blends are 8.2 % and 2.3 % larger than those of the ethanol blends, and 19 % and 11.9 % larger than those of the propanol blends, respectively. Among the four fuels, fuel blended with methanol emits the least normalized sum KL, 45 % less than that of diesel, 23.8 % less than that of ethanol blended fuel, and 35.3 % less than that of propanol blended fuel.

The potential increase in nitrogen oxide emissions in the coal/ammonia co-firing can hinder the large-scale utilization of ammonia to reduce carbon emissions. In this work, a fluidized bed simulation model was established to investigate the NOx and N2O behaviors in the process of coal/ammonia co-firing. The effects of several variables on nitrogen oxides emission characteristics were studied, including the ammonia ratio, temperature, excess air ratio, and air/ammonia distribution strategies. The findings indicate that NOx and N2O concentrations rise and then decline with the NH3 co-firing ratio (CR-NH3) increased, peaking at 10 % and 5 % CR-NH3. The formation of N2O is insensitive to the addition of ammonia, while NOx emissions vary dramatically with different ammonia ratios. Higher temperatures enhance the formation of NOx but inhibit the generation of N2O within 750 °C–950 °C. As the temperature rises, the primary decomposition path of N2O shifts from N2O→N2H2→NNH→N2 to N2O→NO2→NO→N2. The generations of NOx and N2O are both enhanced due to the weakness of the reduced atmosphere with the excess air ratio increased. When the primary air ratio is raised, N2O gradually takes over as the main source of nitrogen oxides instead of NOx. The specific primary air ratio in the fluidized bed should be considered in the priority treatment of NOx or N2O in the process of lowering nitrogen oxides emissions. Ammonia distribution strategies have opposite effects on NOx and N2O emissions. With more NH3 introduced as a secondary fuel, the dilute phase area can change from the main source of NO to the consumption area of NO. The present findings can help control the emissions of nitrogen oxides during coal/ammonia co-combustion in coal-fired circulating fluidized bed power plants.

煤/氨联合燃烧过程中可能增加的氮氧化物排放会阻碍大规模利用氨来减少碳排放。本研究建立了流化床模拟模型,以研究煤/氨联合燃烧过程中氮氧化物和一氧化二氮的行为。研究了多个变量对氮氧化物排放特性的影响,包括氨比例、温度、过量空气比例和空气/氨分配策略。研究结果表明,氮氧化物和一氧化二氮的浓度随着 NH3 联烧比率(CR-NH3)的增加而上升,然后下降,在 CR-NH3 比率分别为 10% 和 5% 时达到峰值。一氧化二氮的形成对氨的添加不敏感,而氮氧化物的排放则随不同的氨比例而变化很大。温度越高,氮氧化物的生成越多,但在 750 °C-950 °C 范围内,氮氧化物的生成受到抑制。随着温度的升高,N2O 的主要分解路径从 N2O→N2H2→NNH→N2 转向 N2O→NO2→NO→N2 。随着过量空气比的增加,由于还原气氛的弱化,NOx 和 N2O 的生成都会增加。当一次空气比提高时,N2O 逐渐取代 NOx 成为氮氧化物的主要来源。在降低氮氧化物排放的过程中,应考虑流化床中具体的一次空气比,优先处理 NOx 还是 N2O。氨分配策略对氮氧化物和一氧化二氮排放的影响相反。当引入更多的 NH3 作为辅助燃料时,稀相区会从氮氧化物的主要来源区变为氮氧化物的消耗区。本研究结果有助于控制燃煤循环流化床发电厂的煤/氨共燃过程中氮氧化物的排放。

Biomass is considered a renewable green coal, and its clean and efficient utilization is of great significance for energy conservation and carbon reduction. One of the most critical aspects of biomass gasification is the selection of an appropriate catalyst. In this study, we synthesized a catalyst with 10 % Pr1-xCexCoO3 supported on dolomite using the sol-gel method. We conducted graded internal circulation gasification experiments to produce hydrogen-rich syngas. The effects of element substitution in PrCoO3, temperature, catalyst composition, and steam injection rate on the products were investigated. The optimal gasification conditions were determined through response surface regression analysis. The data indicate that this catalyst can improve gasification efficiency, with Pr0.4Ce0.6CoO3/Dol showing the best catalytic performance. It effectively reduces the required gasification temperature and steam amount, decreases CO2 production, and increases CO and H2 yields. The catalyst accelerates the cleavage and ring-opening reactions of hydrocarbons, leading to terminal chain hydroxylation, followed by the dehydration-condensation of methyl groups into ethers. As the temperature rises, the rate of carboxyl group removal gradually exceeds the rate of carboxyl group formation via the oxidation of hydroxyl and ether chains, resulting in an initial increase and then a decrease in the number of carboxyl groups. Under optimal gasification conditions, CO2 production is reduced by one-fourth compared to using a dolomite catalyst.

生物质被认为是一种可再生的绿色煤炭,其清洁高效的利用对节能减碳具有重要意义。生物质气化最关键的一点是选择合适的催化剂。在本研究中,我们采用溶胶-凝胶法合成了一种在白云石上支撑有 10 % Pr1-xCexCoO3 的催化剂。我们进行了分级内循环气化实验,以产生富氢合成气。研究了 PrCoO3 中的元素替代、温度、催化剂成分和蒸汽喷射速率对产物的影响。通过响应面回归分析确定了最佳气化条件。数据表明,这种催化剂可以提高气化效率,其中 Pr0.4Ce0.6CoO3/Dol 的催化性能最佳。它有效降低了所需的气化温度和蒸汽量,减少了 CO2 的产生,提高了 CO 和 H2 的产量。催化剂可加速碳氢化合物的裂解和开环反应,导致末端链羟基化,然后甲基脱水缩合成醚。随着温度的升高,羧基脱除的速度逐渐超过通过羟基和醚链氧化形成羧基的速度,从而导致羧基数量先增加后减少。在最佳气化条件下,与使用白云石催化剂相比,二氧化碳的产生量减少了四分之一。

As the greenhouse effect intensifies, ammonia is garnering increasing attention as a carbon-free fuel. In the transport sector, ammonia-diesel dual-fuel (ADDF) engines are regarded as an effective means of reducing carbon emissions. The objective of this study is to investigate the combustion and emission optimization of an ADDF engine under high load conditions. To this end, an experimental optimization study of different start of diesel injection timing (SODI) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates was conducted at a load of 18 bar and an ammonia energy ratio of 80 %. The mechanism of heat capacity, dilution, and chemical effects of EGR was also revealed by numerical simulation based on the separated variables method. It was demonstrated that advancing SODI is effective in enhancing combustion efficiency. However, this approach is limited by the upper limit of in-cylinder pressure and results in higher nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions, which can be mitigated by the EGR. The heat capacity effect of EGR increases the specific heat capacity and decreases the average temperature. The suppression of the combustion process leads to a reduction in thermal and fuel NOx, but an increase in nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The dilution effect of EGR results in insufficient oxygen, which decreases the heat release rate and combustion efficiency. Additionally, the NOx and N2O are significantly reduced. The chemical effect of EGR affects reactive groups and unburned components that accelerate heat release rate and increase accumulated heat release, resulting in significantly higher NOx. The comprehensive effect of EGR results in a decrease in N2O emissions and a significant reduction in thermal and fuel NOx. The EGR and further optimization of SODI enabled the ADDF engine to achieve a gross indicated thermal efficiency of 48.5 % with a load of 18 bar and an ammonia energy ratio of 80 %. In addition, NO emissions were reduced by 32.8 percent and greenhouse gas emissions by 63.3 percent.

随着温室效应的加剧,氨作为一种无碳燃料正受到越来越多的关注。在运输领域,氨-柴油双燃料(ADDF)发动机被认为是减少碳排放的有效手段。本研究的目的是研究高负荷条件下 ADDF 发动机的燃烧和排放优化。为此,在负荷为 18 巴、氨能比为 80% 的条件下,对不同的柴油喷射起始正时(SODI)和废气再循环(EGR)率进行了实验优化研究。基于分离变量法的数值模拟还揭示了 EGR 的热容量、稀释和化学效应机理。结果表明,推进 SODI 能有效提高燃烧效率。然而,这种方法受到缸内压力上限的限制,导致氮氧化物(NOx)排放量增加,而 EGR 可以缓解这一问题。EGR 的热容量效应提高了比热容,降低了平均温度。燃烧过程的抑制导致热氮氧化物和燃料氮氧化物的减少,但一氧化二氮(N2O)的排放量增加。EGR 的稀释效应会导致氧气不足,从而降低热释放率和燃烧效率。此外,氮氧化物和一氧化二氮也大大减少。EGR 的化学效应会影响活性基团和未燃烧成分,从而加快热量释放速度并增加累积热量释放,导致氮氧化物显著增加。EGR 的综合效应导致 N2O 排放量减少,热氮氧化物和燃料氮氧化物显著降低。EGR 和 SODI 的进一步优化使 ADDF 发动机在负荷为 18 巴、氨能比为 80% 的情况下,总指示热效率达到 48.5%。此外,氮氧化物排放量减少了 32.8%,温室气体排放量减少了 63.3%。

CO2 and CH4 are converted to syngas by dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction. This research investigated the effects of the Mg promoter on Al2O3-supported Ni catalysts and Mg calcination temperature on the DRM performance in a parallel plate dielectric barrier discharge reactor. The Mg promoter played a crucial role in the DRM performance, as increasing the Mg calcination temperature from 700 °C to 800 °C significantly improved the DRM performance and catalyst properties, including increased specific surface area, decreased total acidity, reduced crystallite and particle sizes, and more uniform dispersion of the Ni nanoparticles. Under these conditions, the H2 and CO selectivity were 77.0 % and 70.7 %, the CH4 and CO2 conversion were 25.1 % and 20.6 %, and the energy efficiency was 8.4 %. In addition, the catalyst was associated with a lower coking rate (0.5 mg C/gcat h), a relatively low carbon deposit of 1.5 %, and a carbon loss of 2.8 %, possibly because the weak acidity hindered the Boudouard reaction and CH4 decomposition. However, increasing the Mg calcination temperature to 900 °C increased the total acidity and Ni particle size, decreasing H2 and CO selectivities and increasing carbon deposits on the catalyst surface.

CO2 和 CH4 可通过甲烷干转化(DRM)反应转化为合成气。本研究探讨了 Al2O3 支承镍催化剂上的镁促进剂和镁煅烧温度对平行板介电阻挡放电反应器中 DRM 性能的影响。镁促进剂对 DRM 性能起着至关重要的作用,因为将镁煅烧温度从 700 °C 提高到 800 °C,可显著改善 DRM 性能和催化剂特性,包括比表面积增加、总酸度降低、结晶和颗粒尺寸减小以及镍纳米颗粒的分散更均匀。在这些条件下,H2 和 CO 的选择性分别为 77.0 % 和 70.7 %,CH4 和 CO2 的转化率分别为 25.1 % 和 20.6 %,能效为 8.4 %。此外,该催化剂的结焦率较低(0.5 mg C/gcat h),碳沉积相对较低,为 1.5 %,碳损失为 2.8 %,这可能是因为弱酸性阻碍了布杜尔反应和 CH4 分解。然而,将镁的煅烧温度提高到 900 °C,会增加总酸度和镍的粒径,从而降低 H2 和 CO 的选择性,增加催化剂表面的碳沉积。

The preparation of bio-oil from cotton stalks and agricultural residue films using co-pyrolysis technology can achieve resource recovery and energy conversion, which has important research value and significance. In this study, cotton stalks were subjected to different chemical pretreatments using NaOH, HCl, and H2O solutions to understand their structural changes and pyrolysis characteristics. In addition, the lower H/C ratio of cotton stalks resulted in higher oxygen content in the pyrolysis oil, which limited its efficient and clean utilization. Therefore, the characteristics and pyrolysis kinetics of the pyrolysis products of pretreated cotton stalks and LDPE (low-density polyethylene) were studied. The results showed that the ash content of alkali pretreatment cotton stalks decreased by 1.24 %, and the dense structure of cotton stalks significantly relaxed. NaOH pretreatment effectively removed hemicellulose sugars and cracked them. During the co-pyrolysis process, when the ratio of NaOH-CS/LDPE was 50/50, the synergistic effect was more pronounced, and the oil yield increased by 2 % compared to the theoretical value. The oxygen content of CO and CO2 in the pyrolysis gas was higher than the theoretical value, at 10.4 % and 14.1 % respectively. The synergistic effect of bio-oil on hydrocarbons was the most significant, reaching 18.9 %. More hydrogen and less oxygen migrated into the co-pyrolysis oil, resulting in an increase in hydrocarbons and a decrease in oxygen-containing compounds, and improving the quality of bio-oil. Results from electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) indicated that adding LDPE might raise the quantity of stable free radicals. The evolution mechanism of functional groups of NaOH-CS and LDPE co-pyrolysis behavior was analyzed by Fourier in-situ infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and it was found that C–O–C, C=O, and O–H decreased due to dehydroxylation, decarboxylation, decarbonylation, and demethoxy reactions with the increase of temperature, indicating that there was a synergistic effect between NaOH-CS and LDPE co-pyrolysis. The pyrolysis kinetics of NaOH-CS, LDPE and their blends were determined by the model-free method. The introduction of LDPE can reduce the activation energy of NaOH -CS pyrolysis alone, and the 3D diffusion (D3) model is suitable for their blends.

利用棉秆和农用残膜共热解技术制备生物油,可实现资源回收和能源转化,具有重要的研究价值和意义。本研究使用 NaOH、HCl 和 H2O 溶液对棉秆进行了不同的化学预处理,以了解其结构变化和热解特性。此外,棉秆的 H/C 比值较低,导致热解油中氧含量较高,限制了其高效清洁利用。因此,研究了经预处理的棉秆和 LDPE(低密度聚乙烯)热解产物的特性和热解动力学。结果表明,碱预处理棉秆的灰分含量降低了 1.24%,棉秆的致密结构明显松弛。NaOH 预处理可有效去除半纤维素糖并使其裂解。在共热解过程中,当 NaOH-CS/LDPE 的比例为 50/50 时,协同效应更加明显,产油量比理论值提高了 2%。热解气体中 CO 和 CO2 的氧含量高于理论值,分别为 10.4 % 和 14.1 %。生物油对碳氢化合物的协同效应最为显著,达到 18.9%。更多的氢和更少的氧迁移到共热解油中,导致碳氢化合物增加,含氧化合物减少,提高了生物油的质量。电子顺磁共振(EPR)结果表明,添加 LDPE 可能会增加稳定自由基的数量。傅立叶原位红外光谱法(FTIR)分析了 NaOH-CS 与 LDPE 共热解行为的官能团演变机理,发现随着温度的升高,C-O-C、C=O 和 O-H 会因脱氢、脱羧、脱羰基和脱甲氧基反应而减少,表明 NaOH-CS 与 LDPE 共热解存在协同效应。无模型法测定了 NaOH-CS、低密度聚乙烯及其混合物的热解动力学。LDPE 的引入可降低 NaOH-CS 单独热解的活化能,三维扩散(D3)模型适用于它们的混合物。

As a promising carbon-free fuel, ammonia is expected to be widely applied in internal combustion engines. However, the physical properties of ammonia are quite different from those of conventional fuels, which leads to different spray characteristics. In this paper, the ammonia spray under injection pressure as high as 80 MPa was visualized by the diffused back-illumination imaging method, and the liquid ammonia spray characteristics under different ambient pressures and ambient temperatures were analyzed. The liquid spray penetration length, cone angle and tip velocity calculated from the spray images provide a reference database for numerical simulation. The results show that the development characteristics of liquid ammonia spray are significantly different under flare flash boiling, transitional flash boiling and non-flash boiling conditions. Flash boiling (especially flare flash boiling) inhibits the initial liquid spray penetration. The spray tip velocity increases first and then gradually decreases under flash boiling conditions. Ammonia spray has obvious radial expansion at the initial stage of flare flash boiling and the spray contour under flare flash boiling conditions is noticeably distorted, forming an obvious dilute region. With the increase of ambient pressure, the intensity of flash boiling reduces, the dilute region gradually disappears, and the distortion of the spray contour gradually weakens. Under non-flash boiling conditions, ammonia spray presents a dense and regular shape; there is no spray acceleration but a sharp decrease in spray tip velocity at the initial stage, and then the spray penetrates forward at a similar velocity. The spray penetration velocity decreases significantly with the increase of ambient pressure. The increase in ambient temperature accelerates the vaporization of ammonia spray. The liquid spray penetration length decreases and maintains with only slight fluctuations during the injection process as the ambient temperature increases from 300 K to 600 K because the vaporization rate and penetration velocity reach a balance.

作为一种前景广阔的无碳燃料,氨有望在内燃机中得到广泛应用。然而,氨的物理性质与传统燃料有很大不同,这导致了不同的喷雾特性。本文采用扩散背照式成像方法对喷射压力高达 80 MPa 的氨气喷雾进行了观察,并分析了不同环境压力和环境温度下的液氨喷雾特性。根据喷雾图像计算出的液态喷雾穿透长度、锥角和尖端速度为数值模拟提供了参考数据库。结果表明,在耀斑闪沸、过渡闪沸和非闪沸条件下,液氨喷雾的发展特征有显著差异。闪沸(尤其是耀斑闪沸)抑制了初始液态喷雾的渗透。在闪蒸沸腾条件下,喷头速度先增大后逐渐减小。氨水喷雾在闪蒸沸腾初期有明显的径向膨胀,闪蒸沸腾条件下的喷雾轮廓明显扭曲,形成明显的稀释区。随着环境压力的增加,闪沸强度降低,稀释区逐渐消失,喷雾轮廓的扭曲逐渐减弱。在非闪蒸沸腾条件下,氨水喷雾呈现密集而规则的形状;在初始阶段没有喷雾加速,但喷雾尖端速度急剧下降,然后喷雾以相似的速度向前穿透。随着环境压力的增加,喷雾穿透速度明显下降。环境温度的升高加速了氨喷雾的汽化。当环境温度从 300 K 升至 600 K 时,液体喷雾的穿透长度减小,并在喷射过程中保持轻微波动,这是因为汽化速度和穿透速度达到了平衡。
