Aerosol particulate matter with dynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 μm (PM) is the main cause for haze pollution in China. As a dominant precursor of PM, SO emitted from industrial process is now strictly controlled by using limestone/gypsum Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (WFGD) system in China. However, a phenomenon that fine particle derived from WFGD is recently addressed, and is suggested to be a potential source of primary PM. Herein, a first investigation into the particle generation mechanism in WFGD system is conducted with a novel droplet (containing particles) drying and breakage model. The proposed model considers a random and porous crust instead of the previous regular crust assumption, and is verified by comparing the modeling results with measurements. An orthogonal test with four factors and three levels is carried out through modeling calculation, and flue gas temperature (T) in the inlet is found to be a governing parameter for PM yields in WFGD. With T in range of 120-160 °C, PM yields in desulfurizing tower can reach a maximum value at ∼2 × 10 cm under typical WFGD condition. To avoid this situation and reduce the PM generation, T is suggested to be lower than 120 °C. Additionally, a new insight of the elimination effect of gas-gas heater (GGH) on "gypsum rain" in WFGD system is provided.

A major obstacle to exploiting industrial flue gas for microalgae cultivation is the unfavorable acidic environment. We previously identified three upregulated genes in the low-pH-adapted model diatom : ferredoxin (PtFDX), cation/proton antiporter (PtCPA), and HCO transporter (PtSCL4-2). Here, we individually overexpressed these genes in to investigate their respective roles in resisting acidic stress (pH 5.

As the frontier of environmental catalysis, mercury removal by deNO unit over bifunctional catalyst has emerged. However, it is fundamentally challenging to achieve simultaneous NO and mercury removal in industrial flue gas due to the commercial selective catalytic reduction (SCR) molecular sieves' lack of demercuration active centers. Herein, we demonstrate an active site in situ reconfiguration approach to enhance the oxidation of elemental mercury and immobilize divalent mercury by modified commercial SCR catalysts.

The simultaneous removal reaction (SRR) is a pioneering approach for achieving the simultaneous removal of anthropogenic NO and CO pollutants through catalytic reactions. To facilitate this removal across diverse industrial fields, it is crucial to understand the trade-offs and synergies among the multiple reactions involved in the SRR process. In this study, we developed mixed metal oxide nanostructures derived from layered double hydroxides as catalysts for the SRR, achieving high catalytic conversions of 93.

Article Synopsis
- Simultaneous removal of CO and NO from flue gas is important for reducing atmospheric pollutants and carbon emissions.
- An optimized calcium oxide (CaO) system is proposed using bio-modified calcium-based pellets, where biomass pyrolysis enhances efficiency.
- The study finds that different biomass types impact pellet characteristics, with cellulose improving pellet structure for better CO/NO removal, while lignin increases biochar production, affecting capture performance based on pore structure and biochar content.

NH-MIL-125 with abundant porosity and specific interactions with CO molecules, has been demonstrate great potential in the field of photocatalytic CO reduction. However, conventional NH-MIL-125 and their composites much lower CO photoreduction efficiency in aerobic environments because of the O competition. To circumvent the issue, this study modifies NH-MIL-125 through crystal facet engineering to enhance its selective CO adsorption and photocatalytic efficiency in the environment of impurity CO.
