Article Abstract

Simultaneous CO/NO removal from flue gas is extensively attracted to meet the goal of atmospheric pollutant and carbon mitigations. An optimized CaO-CO system via the design of the bio-modified calcium-based pellet is proposed in which the pyrolysis of biomass ensures efficient CO/NO removal. Since the type of biomass shows great influence on the characteristics of pyrolysis products which may influence the behavior of reaction, the correlations of characteristics of biomass structural components, modified Ca-sorbent, and CO/NO removal reactivity were established with the support of experimental results and Density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The results reveal that the high content of cellulose in biomass plays a role in improving the microstructure of the bio-modified Ca-pellet (favor carbonation and CaO-catalyzed CO-NO), while the high content of lignin corresponds to the generation of more biochar in the sorbent (favor CO-promoted Char-NO). The leading role of CO-NO or Char-NO displays varied importance with the changing pore structure and biochar amount in the Ca-pellet. This work reveals the prospect of selecting the properties of biological additives to prepare effective calcium-based sorbents to improve CO/NO co-capture performance.

The manganese-cobalt mixed oxide nanorods were fabricated using a hydrothermal method with different metal precursors (KMnO and MnSO·HO for MnO and Co(NO)⋅6HO and CoCl⋅6HO for CoO). Bamboo-like MnO⋅CoO (B-MnO⋅CoO (S)) was derived from repeated hydrothermal treatments with CoO@MnO and MnSO⋅HO, whereas CoO@MnO nanorods were derived from hydrothermal treatment with CoO nanorods and KMnO. The study shows that manganese oxide was tetragonal, while the cobalt oxide was found to be cubic in the crystalline arrangement.

The toxic gases emitted from industrial production have caused significant damage to the environment and human health, necessitating efficient gas sensors for their detection and removal. In this work, first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the potential application of diamanes for high-performance toxic gas sensors. The results show that nine gas molecules (CO, CO, NO, NO, NH, SO, N, O, and HO) are physisorbed on pristine diamane by weak van der Waals interactions.
