This research explored the benefits of blending animal waste with wood chips to produce a bio-coal with improved fuel properties. The process conditions investigated were temperature and pressure intervals of 200°C to 280°C and atmospheric pressure (AP) to 4MPa, respectively. The results showed that an increase in temperature and pressure improved the fixed carbon content of the blend almost threefold from 19.87 % to 66.93 % and the higher heating value (HHV) to 27.32MJ/kg from 13.90MJ/kg at mild torrefaction temperature of 280°C and gas pressure of 4MPa compared to atmospheric pressure conditions and the lowest temperature investigated. The HHV increased primarily due to a release of bound and unbound moisture and volatile matter. Wood chips had an HHV of 27.00MJ/kg at a torrefaction temperature of 280°C due to the decomposition of hemicellulose and cellulose which enhanced the thermal stability, fixed carbon content and calorific value. However, animal waste had the least incremental increase in HHV (16.45MJ/kg) due to a high initial content of volatile matter and moisture. The improved properties of the blend of materials indicated that pressurized torrefaction was effective in increasing fixed carbon content through secondary polymerization reactions. Moreover, it facilitated the decomposition of cellulose at a lower temperature than the typical range of 315-400°C if conducted at atmospheric pressure. This study elucidates the notable role of the synergistic effects of blending feed materials prior to torrefaction towards improving the properties and pyrolysis performance of biomass components.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100251,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Chemical Engineering","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874826","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}

However, a cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with slow kinetics and water-splitting steps without a suitable catalyst limits its large-scale production. Herein, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to the unique properties of high surface area, porosity and favourable tunability, offer significant advantages over conventional catalysts to provide greater flexibility and effective reactions in the energy sector. However, the use of MOFs as electrocatalysts faces challenges like electrode corrosion and poor electron mobility and conductivity due to the lack of an optimal fabrication approach. Additionally, there is limited information on the development of MOF materials for HER in basic medium electrolytes. Therefore, pristine MOF-based materials and applicability for HER in a basic environment were comprehensively reviewed. It was elucidated that pristine MOFs used in a basic medium are more advantageous than in an acidic medium. Furthermore, recent advancements in improving MOF electrocatalytic properties and activities were discussed. Also, the effect of pristine MOFs on rate-determining steps in HER was highlighted. In addition, the challenges and prospects of improving MOFs for HER and other field applications were examined in detail, providing a comprehensive view. It was found that solvent removal during MOF activation with metal ions and electron-donating groups on the ligand has a synergy impact on the available active sites for HER.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100251,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Chemical Engineering","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143850253","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 performance, accuracy and durability of PEMFC-based power generation system are strongly dependent on its control strategy and design methodology, which may be a challenging and complex task owing to all-inclusive dynamic mechanism of air conditioning system. This paper aims to propose a new Chattering Free Binomial Hyperbolic Sliding Mode Controller (CFBHSMC) for DC-DC boost converter to augment the system performance and guarantee the system accuracy in presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. Due to nonlinearity of PEMFC system and its high control sensitivity, the design control scheme has been formulated as multi-objective optimization problem using Multi-Objective Stochastic Fractal Search Algorithm (MOSFSA). The optimal CFBHSMC can significantly reduce the chattering effect, ensure the fast convergence and enhance the tracking accuracy. To validate the proposed controller's capabilities, the simulation results have been compared with fuzzy controller, classic SMC and super-twisting SMC.

Four configurations were tested: Case I (conventional solar still/CSS), Case II (CSS + FAF), Case III (CSS modified with FAF + REC), and Case IV (CSS modified with FAF + MCEC). Key results demonstrate that Case IV (FAF + MCEC) achieved the highest performance, with an average daily yield of 2725 ml/day (80.36 % higher than CSS), peak instantaneous efficiency of 39.7 %, and exergy efficiency improvements of 163 % over CSS. Environmental analysis revealed that Case IV mitigated 420 kg of CO₂ emissions over its lifetime, earning $135 in carbon credits, offsetting its higher embodied emissions (1450 kg CO₂) from manufacturing.

The solvent was selected based on the total phenolic content (TPC) extracted. For all DES systems, their relative polarity, the water content, viscosity and density were determined. The results showed that the best extraction condition regarding extraction yield was 30 min, 40 °C, S/L ratio of 1:20 (m/m) and using UAE technique. The best DES for TPC extraction was Lac:Gly:Wat (3:1:3), with a TPC of 50.68 ± 2.87 (mg GAE/g <em>P. polystachyum</em>), and the Bet:Et (1:3) DES was the best extraction system without water and lactic acid in its composition, which are two components that can directly affect cell viability in cytotoxicity assays. Additionally, using the same extraction conditions, valorization of biomass wastes after steam distillation and supercritical fluid extraction was successfully achieved. In the cytotoxicity assays towards spontaneously immortalized human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells, certain inconclusive results were obtained for the Lac:Gly:Wat (3:1:3) extracts, mainly because the color of the extract interfered with the absorbance measurement. For Bet:Et (1:3) extracts this interference was not observed and the half-maximal effective concentration value (EC₅₀) was determined as 227 ± 64.29 mg/mL for Bet:Et (1:3) pure solvent, and between 114 ± 9.49 and 206.9 ± 15.61 mg/mL for Bet:Et (1:3) extracts.
