This study delves into advanced methane purification techniques within anaerobic fermentation bioreactors, focusing on selective CO absorption and comparing photosynthetic bacteria (PNSB) with chemical adsorbents. Our investigation demonstrates that MgO-Mg(OH) composites exhibit remarkable CO selectivity over CH, substantiated through rigorous bulk and surface modelling analyses. To address the challenges posed by MgCO shell formation on MgO particles, hindering CO transport, we advocate for the utilisation of MgO-Mg(OH) composites.

This research investigates the characteristics of particulate matter (PM), particulate carbon, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted from a generator fueled by waste-edible-oil-biodiesel with acetone and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) addition. The tested biodieselhols consisted of pure diesel oil (D100) with 1-3 vol.

This study examines size-resolved particle-bound water-soluble ions and carbons (element carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC)) collected near a busy road and at an urban site. The traffic-related fine and coarse particles were collected using two manual dichotomous samplers (Dichots) equipped with Quartz filters. The PM(2.
