Published: December 2022

Zeolite-based catalytic membrane reactors have been successfully applied in overcoming the thermodynamic limitations of CO hydrogenations and dry reforming of methane (DRM) reactions. This review summarizes the zeolites as membrane reactor components regarding the permeance, permselectivity, durability, conversion, selectivity, and stability by referring to the synergy of catalyst and membrane. Also, five operation parameters (temperature, pressure, feed ratio, sweeping gas flow rate, and gas hourly space velocity) are introduced regarding their impacts on the performance of membrane reactor. Besides, synthesis methods and conditions for zeolite membranes are critically illustrated in the category. Moreover, representative surface and structure properties of zeolite membranes are discussed by relating to the synthesis-structure-performance relationships. Finally, conclusive remarks are demonstrated and possible solutions to existing challenges are proposed. So far, this is the first time to discuss the applications of zeolite membrane reactors in the CO adsorption, separation, activation, and conversion in reforming and hydrogenation processes.

The hydrogen-based partial denitrification coupled with anammox (H-PDA) biofilm system effectively achieves low-carbon and high-efficiency biological nitrogen removal. However, the effects and biological interaction mechanism of H flux with the H-PDA system have not yet been understood. This study assessed the effects of H flux on interactions among anammox bacteria (AnAOB), denitrifying bacteria (DB), and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) coexisting in a H-PDA system.

An Azide-based Passive Sampler for Monitoring Abiotic Reduction of Chlorinated Solvent Contaminants in Groundwater.

There is significant interest in monitoring abiotic decomposition of chlorinated solvents at contaminated sites due to large uncertainties regarding the rates of abiotic attenuation of trichloroethylene (PCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) under field conditions. In this study, an innovative passive sampling tool was developed to quantify acetylene, a characteristic product of abiotic reduction of TCE or PCE, in groundwater. The sampling mechanism is based on the highly specific and facile click reaction between acetylene and an azide compound to form a biologically and chemically stable triazole product.

CO mineralization, a process where CO reacts with minerals to form stable carbonates, presents a sustainable approach for CO sequestration and mitigation of global warming. While the crucial role of water in regulating CO mineralization efficiency is widely acknowledged, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains elusive. This study employs a combined experimental and atomistic simulation approach to elucidate the intricate mechanisms governing moisture-driven carbonation kinetics of calcium-bearing minerals.

In flow-through reactors, the photodegradation rate can be improved by enhancing contact and increasing the photocatalyst loading. Both can be attained with a higher surface-to-volume ratio. While previous studies focused on thin membranes (30 - 130 µm) with small pore sizes of 20 - 650 nm, this work employed poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) supports, of which pore sizes are in the order of 10 µm, while the porosities and thicknesses are variable (22.

Energy from renewable resources has been growing in popularity, which ultimately helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and contaminants. Since hydrogen (H) has a higher combustion production of energy than hydrocarbon fuels, it has been identified as a clean, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy source. There are several benefits to producing biohydrogen (bioH) from renewable sources, including lower cost and increased sustainability.
