This paper addresses a preliminary study on the emission control of pollutants from an industrial furnace. The stack sampling technique was implemented in this study, and the quantity of pollutants released from the furnace smoke was monitored. The transverse points required to collect the data were selected based on the upstream and downstream disturbances. At first, the investigation was made with the furnace oil. A 15.28% and 5.1% of CO and O were observed in the flue gas from of regular furnace oil. Hence, by considering the emission level observed, the analysis was repeated with the low sulphur-low stack and the coal tar fuel. The emission of SO and N was reduced with coal-tar fuel compared with the regular furnace fuel. Thus, the proposed operational adjustment attenuates the pollutant emission, which also helps to reduce the unfavorable impact on the environment. In the future, the authors intend to include a design change in the furnace burner, which would help to increase fuel efficiency and reduce pollution.

The aim of this work was to investigate the hydrocracking of algae oil derived from Spirulina Platensis species catalyzed with bi-component nickel-zirconia catalysts supported onto different carriers (BEA, ZSM-5 and AlO) in an autoclave at 320 °C for 2 h with a hydrogen pressure of 75 bar. All catalysts were prepared using the wet co-impregnation method and were characterized by H-TPR, XRD, NH-TPD, BET and SEM-EDS. Before reactions, catalysts were calcined at 600 °C for 4 h in a muffle furnace, then reduced with 5%H-95%Ar reducing mixture at 500 °C, 600 °C or 700 °C for 2 h.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on using blast furnace slag geopolymer as a catalyst for biodiesel production from waste cooking oil, evaluating its kinetic and simulation aspects.
- It analyzes the effects of reaction temperature, time, and catalyst ratio on the reaction kinetics, finding that the pseudo-first-order model is the most favorable for this process.
- The transesterification process achieved a high biodiesel conversion rate of 99.18% with the optimized catalyst ratio, highlighting the potential of this method as a cost-effective option for the biodiesel industry.

This article presents the results of the research on real coal charges of different compositions intended for coking with loading into the chamber by the stamping method. The results of the study established that with an increase in the content of coal at a low stage of metamorphism and a decrease in the content of coal at a high stage of metamorphism in the charges, a decrease in the quality indicators of the coke obtained from them leads to a decrease in the yield of coke. At the same time, there is a gradual decrease in the compaction of the charges from 22.

Renewable lignocellulosic biomass is a favorable energy resource since its co-pyrolysis with hydrogen-rich plastics can produce high-yield and high-quality biofuel. In contrast to earlier co-pyrolysis research that concentrated on increasing product yield, this study comprehends the synergistic effects of two distinct feedstocks that were not considered earlier. This work focuses on co-pyrolyzing wheat straw (WS) with non-reusable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for the production of pyrolysis oil.

Oily sludge (OS) is a kind of hazardous waste generated from the petrochemical industry. Currently, pyrolysis has been widely applied for OS disposal, while low-oil content (<5 wt%) OS still lacks novel technology to achieve efficient resource utilization and harmful substances immobilization. In this study, a kind of OS-based geopolymer was developed by OS and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS).
