Industrial low-temperature methane combustion catalyst Pd/AlO suffers from HO-induced deactivation. It is imperative to design Pd catalysts free from this deactivation and with high atomic efficiency. Using a small-pore zeolite SSZ-13 as support, herein we report well-defined Pd catalysts with dominant active species as finely dispersed Pd cations, uniform PdO particles embedded inside the zeolite framework, or PdO particles decorating the zeolite external surface. Through detailed reaction kinetics and spectroscopic and microscopic studies, we show that finely dispersed sites are much less active than PdO nanoparticles. We further demonstrate that HO-induced deactivation can be readily circumvented by using zeolite supports with high Si/Al ratios. Finally, we provide a few rational catalyst design suggestions for methane oxidation based on the new knowledge learned in this study.

This research was carried out to assess the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) in Edo State, Southern Nigeria, using remote sensing data. A secondary data collection method was used for the assessment, and the levels of CO and HCHO were extracted annually from Google Earth Engine using information from Sentinel-5-P satellite data (COPERNISCUS/S5P/NRTI/L3_) and processed using ArcMap, Google Earth Engine, and Microsoft Excel to determine the levels of CO and HCHO in the study area from 2018 to 2023. The geometry of the study location is highlighted, saved and run, and a raster imagery file of the study area is generated after the task has been completed with a 'projection and extent' in the Geographic Tagged Image File Format (.

Anthropogenic emissions of non-CO greenhouse gases, such as low-concentration coal mine methane (cCH < 30 vol%), have a significant impact on global warming. The main component of coal mine methane is methane (CH), which is both a greenhouse gas and a high-quality clean energy gas. To study the combustion and heat transfer reactions of low-concentration coal mine methane in a catalytic oxidation device, a numerical simulation approach was employed to establish a model of the catalytic oxidation device that includes periodic boundary conditions, methane combustion mechanisms, and turbulent-laminar flow characteristics.

In order to promote low-carbon sustainable development in the ecological environment and improve the efficiency of hydrogen and natural gas energy utilization, this project carried out research on the explosive effects of different thicknesses of ordered porous media on the hydrogen-methane gas mixture. A detailed discussion was conducted based on the critical quenching hydrogen blending ratio under the thicknesses of 50 mm and 60 mm of ordered porous media. The results indicate that the critical quenching hydrogen blending ratio is 9% for a thickness of 50 mm and 20% for a thickness of 60 mm, indicating that greater thickness enhances flame suppression capabilities.

Residual biomass is a promising carbon feedstock for the production of electricity-based organic chemicals and fuels since, unlike carbon dioxide captured from point sources or air, it also has a valuable energy input. Biomass can be converted into an intermediate stream suitable for Power-to-X processes mainly via combustion or gasification. Such combined processes are generally called biohybrid or Power- and Biomass-to-X processes.
