A new simplified approach based on equilibrium modeling is proposed in this work to describe the correlations among syngas species experimentally observed in a pilot scale downdraft biomass gasifier operated with different feedstocks (biomass pellets and vine prunings). The modeling approach is based on experimental evidence on the presence of devolatilization products in the syngas and fluctuations of syngas composition during stationary operation, accounted for by introducing two empirical parameters, a by-pass index and a permeability index. The simplified model correctly reproduces the correlations among the main syngas species (including methane and ethylene) resulting from experimental data of pilot tests with different feedstocks and under a wide range of operating conditions.

The increasing global population and urbanization have led to significant challenges in waste management, particularly concerning vacuum blackwater (VBW), which is the wastewater generated from vacuum toilets. Traditional treatment methods, such as landfilling and composting, often fall short in terms of efficiency and sustainability. Anaerobic digestion (AD) has emerged as a promising alternative, offering benefits such as biogas production and digestate generation.

Polymeric membranes with great processability are attractive for the H/CO separation required for hydrogen production from renewable biomass with carbon capture for utilization and sequestration. However, it remains elusive to engineer polymer architectures to obtain desired sub-3.3 Å ultramicropores to efficiently sieve H from CO.

Syngas has important industrial applications, and converting CO to CO is critical for syngas production. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated significant potential in photocatalytic syngas conversion, although the impact of catalytic reactions on tunable H/CO ratios remains unclear. Herein, we present a novel bimetallic NiCo-MOF catalyst, NiCo, exhibiting high catalytic activity in syngas conversion due to the CO product self-driven effect.

Pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass commonly produces syngas, a mixture of gases such as CO, CO and H, as well as an aqueous solution generally rich in organic acids such as acetate. In this study, we evaluated the impact of increasing acetate shock loads during syngas co-fermentation with anaerobic microbiomes at different pH levels (6.7 and 5.

Despite the extensive studies on the adsorption and activation of hydrogen over metal oxides, it remains a challenge to investigate the structure-dependent activation of hydrogen and its selectivity mechanism in hydrogenation reactions. Herein we take spinel and solid solution MnGaO with a similar bulk chemical composition and study the hydrogen activation mechanism and reactivity in syngas conversion. The results show that MnGaO-Solid Solution (MnGaO-SS) is a typical Mn-doped hexagonal close-packed (HCP) GaO with a Ga-rich surface.
