Most of it is used for heat generation on-site. The greenhouse gas emission impacts of alternative scenarios for utilizing this large-scale production of byproduct hydrogen were evaluated, including exporting it to other processes as merchant hydrogen, using it as a chemical feedstock with captured CO₂ for methanol production, and generating electricity in fuel cells. Utilizing byproduct hydrogen as merchant hydrogen or as a chemical feedstock for methanol production results in a net reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Sale of byproduct hydrogen as merchant hydrogen results in lower GHG emissions (7.9 kg CO₂e/kg H₂) compared to standard merchant hydrogen production from steam methane reforming (&gt;10 kg CO₂e/kg H₂). Using byproduct hydrogen as a chemical feedstock for combined ethylene and methanol production has 13% lower emission estimates when natural gas replaces the displaced hydrogen in the cracking furnace to 34% when zero-carbon energy is used as the substitute. Electricity generation in fuel cells using byproduct hydrogen has similar GHG emissions to generation of electricity using high-efficiency gas turbines because when the hydrogen originally used for process heat is separated and used in the fuel cell, its original use for process heat is assumed to be replaced with natural gas. Overall, the greenhouse gas benefits associated with alternative uses of byproduct hydrogen could grow in the longer term if the current use of hydrogen in process heating is electrified.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"3 8","pages":"2573–2581"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148822395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The covalent immobilization of iron salicylate—a bio-derivable catalyst characterized by strong Fe(III) coordination and high oxidative stability—was achieved under ecofriendly microwave heating conditions, yielding iron loadings of 0.5 at %. The WF-[Fe(Sal)] material showed remarkable trade-off between catalytic activity and stability throughout photocatalytic dye degradation, in the presence of visible light and H₂O₂. Cationic dyes, rhodamine B (RB) and methylene blue (MB), were removed through a synergistic mechanism of adsorption and catalytic degradation, while the removal of the anionic dye, indigo carmine, was primarily driven by oxidative degradation. Under optimal conditions, cationic dye removal efficiencies as high as 97% for RB and 89% for MB within 150 min were achieved in the presence of H₂O₂ vs 82% for RB and MB in the absence of H₂O₂.

Our ongoing task involves using bio-waste to prepare high-energy-density activated carbon. The material confirmation was confirmed through various characterizations such as XRD, Raman, FTIR, EDX, SEM, BET, and XPS. The electrochemical three-electrode analysis of the prepared activated carbon for various ZnCl₂ activation ratios (1:1, 1:3, 1:5) showed that the 1:3 (carbon: ZnCl₂) ratio possesses higher specific capacitance compared to the other ratios, leading to further two-electrode analysis for this sample.

First, the optimized conditions (organic phase composition and feed solution acid concentration) for the separation of Dy from light REEs such as neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) were evaluated using liquid–liquid extraction. Thereafter, a multistage MSX process was developed to separate high purity (&gt;99.5 wt %) Dy from Nd and Pr using Cyanex 572, a cationic extractant. Using feedstocks with varying initial compositions, the MSX process obtained 100% pure Dy with 63–96% Dy recovery in three to six stages with a maximum extraction rate of 2.9 g m^–2 h^–1. Purity of the recovered Dy was confirmed via additional characterization such as scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

Despite a few reports suggesting improved performance of two-stage AD with biochar addition, the existing reports provide limited insights into the role of biochar in microbial dynamics and its mechanisms of enhancement. This study investigated the impact of different biochar dosages (5, 15, and 25 g/L) on the two-stage mesophilic AD of food waste, focusing on biogas production, dynamics of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), organic removal, and microbial community diversity and structure. During the first stage, cumulative hydrogen (H₂) production increased by 23−30% in biochar-amended reactors, while in the methanogenesis stage, cumulative methane (CH₄) yields increased by 31−41%. However, no statisticallly significant differences (<em>p</em> &gt; 0.05) were obeserved among the different biochar dosages, suggesting that 5 g/L would be the optimum dosage for both stages. Biochar promoted the accumulation of VFAs during the first stage while enhancing VFA conversion to methane in the second stage, with 5 g/L of biochar exhibiting the lowest VFA accumulation. In addition to increased microbial diversity and richness, 5 g/L of biochar also selectively enriched various fast-growing hydrolytic/fermentative taxa in the first stage while significantly stimulating syntrophic fatty-acid degraders (<em>Syntrophomonas</em>) and metabolically versatile methanogens (<em>Methanosarcina</em>) in the second stage, indicating improved syntrophic cooperation and potential facilitation of direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET).

A mechanochemical recycling process was demonstrated in three steps in an internal mixer: partial aminolysis, cross-linking, and foaming. Partial aminolysis was successfully demonstrated using a cycloaliphatic diamine and yielded a melt-processable PU with gel content (GC) of 54.4% using as low as 6 wt % of diamine from a pristine PU with 94.1% GC. The material was then efficiently cross-linked by blending it with a blocked isocyanate based on 4,4′-methylenebis (phenyl isocyanate) at 100 °C and then triggering its reactivity at 160 °C to yield a material with GC of 84.7%. The blocked isocyanate unblocking kinetics were assessed using rheometry and revealed partial reactivity even at 100 °C. The mechanical properties of the cross-linked recycled PU exhibited significantly improved properties as a consequence of network reformation. Finally, the concomitant use of a chemical blowing agent with blocked isocyanate allowed to yield a cross-linked recycled PU foam as a final step of mechanical processing. The strong reactivity of the blocked isocyanate appeared to limit the foaming marginally.

According to experimental results, it was supposed that, with the pyrolytic time increasing, the reduction reaction reached dynamic equilibrium leading to a Cu−Co−La decreasing sequence of the amount and strength of acidity, which led to the relative content of organosilicon compounds in bio-oil decreasing with Ni−Cu/HZSM-5 (60.81%), Ni−Co/HZSM-5 (43.42%), and Ni−La/HZSM-5 (42.11%) and that of long-chain carboxylic acid and ester increasing with Ni−Cu/HZMS-5 (4.83%), Ni−Co/HZSM-5 (8.35%), and Ni−La/HZSM-5 (12.93%). The weaker the strong acidity, the more phenolic compounds generated. As regards Ni−Co/HZSM-5, apart from its intensity of acidity, the relatively uniform and biggest pore size might also be responsible for its strongest capability of generating aromatic compounds. In turn, for Ni−Cu/HZSM-5, its low utilization rate of active sites might be related to its weakest capability of producing phenolic compounds. Ni−Cu/HZSM-5 possessed moderately strong abilities to promote the catalytic reforming of methane with carbon dioxide or water vapor with Ni and Cu grippers; Cu inveigled electrons and transferred to Ni creating Ni^δδδ− (the atomically dispersed electron-rich nickel species).
