Flue gas torrefaction (FGT) integrated with combustion was introduced for the clean treatment of distilled spirit lees (DSL). The effects of temperature, residence time, and volumetric flow rate of FGTs were investigated. The improvement in the physicochemical and combustion characteristics of the torrefied DSL and the reaction mechanisms were clarified by a tube furnace and the TG-MS device. The results showed that FGT could effectively improve the properties of DSL. With increasing temperature, residence time, and volumetric flow rate, the mass and energy yields decreased. FGT showed positive effects on the removal of free and bonding water, as well as the enrichment of lignin. FGT effectively inhibited the release of NO. The overall emission of NO was reduced by 57.3%. Additionally, the cost of DSL drying and denitrification could be greatly reduced by FGT. This study provided a practical treatment for DSL and new insight into FGT.

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.
