Published: October 2023

Continuous industrial development has increased the demand of energy. Inevitably, the development of energy sources is steadily progressing using various methods. Rather than establishing a new energy source, a system for storing waste heat generated by industry has now been accepted as a useful strategy. Among such systems, the hydration and dehydration reactions of MgO/Mg(OH)  are eco-friendly, have relatively low toxicity and risk, and have a large reserves. Therefore, it is a promising candidate for a heat-storage system. In this study, ultrahigh-porosity particles are used to maximize the heat-storage efficiency of pure MgO. Due to its large surface area, the heat storage rate is 90.3% of the theoretical value and the reaction rate is very high. In addition, as structural collapse, likely to be caused by volume changes between reactions, is blocked as the porous region is filled and emptied, the cycle stability is secured. Ultrahigh-porosity MgO microparticles can be used to build eco-friendly heat-storage systems.

Article Synopsis
  • The increasing amount of plastic waste is a major environmental issue, prompting research into thermochemical recycling methods for various plastics, especially polycarbonate (PC).
  • This study focuses on using thermo-catalytic treatment to recover valuable monomers, specifically bisphenol A (BPA), from polycarbonate by optimizing pyrolysis conditions and using carbon dioxide (CO) as an atmospheric gas.
  • Results showed that utilizing high-porosity MgO catalysts significantly increased BPA yield, with the most effective catalyst yielding over double the amount compared to traditional non-catalytic methods.

Phosphorus is a nonrenewable material with a finite supply on Earth; however, due to the rapid growth of the manufacturing industry, phosphorus contamination has become a global concern. Therefore, this study highlights the remarkable potential of ranunculus-like MgO (MO4-MO6) as superior adsorbents for phosphate removal and recovery. Furthermore, MO6 stands out with an impressive adsorption capacity of 596.
