The ZnO/ABC catalyst incorporating 3% Ag nanoparticles exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity, achieving a 2,4-D degradation rate of 95.4% within 50 min, exhibiting a photocatalytic rate constant of 0.06462 ± 0.0004 min−1, which is 3.21 and 1.80 times higher than that of pure ZnO and ZnO/ABC, respectively. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the incorporation of silver nanoparticles reduced the band gap energy of the 3% Ag-ZnO/ABC system, thereby enhancing the separation efficiency and utilization of photogenerated electrons and holes, leading to increased generation of •O₂− responsible for organic pollutant degradation.

Conventional biodiesel blends such as B20 often experience a slight reduction in efficiency due to their higher viscosity and lower calorific value when compared with neat diesel fuel. Earlier investigations have explored biodiesel–diesel blending to improve soot oxidation, hydrogen enrichment to promote premixed combustion, compression ratio modification to influence ignition behavior, and exhaust gas recirculation to suppress nitrogen oxide formation. Despite their benefits, these techniques involve trade-offs, as hydrogen addition can increase NOx emissions, while excessive EGR may deteriorate combustion stability and promote incomplete oxidation. To address these limitations, the present work proposes an integrated strategy combining B20 biodiesel, hydrogen enrichment, reduced compression ratio, and controlled EGR operation. Experimental results reveal that hydrogen induction at a compression ratio of 18:1 enhanced brake thermal efficiency by 2.5%, increased peak cylinder pressure by 9%, and improved cumulative heat release by 8% compared with baseline B20 at 18:1 CR. At the same condition, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and smoke emissions were reduced by 30%, 33%, and 32%, respectively. Reducing the compression ratio to 17:1 effectively moderated the NOx rise associated with hydrogen addition without imposing a noticeable efficiency penalty. Furthermore, hydrogen-enriched B20 operation paired with EGR rates of 4–10% showed that moderate levels of 4–6% provided the most balanced performance and emission characteristics. Overall, the combined application establishes a viable pathway forward.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149206004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of this study is to perform the comparative performance analysis of the HPD in both closed and open-cycle configurations for Amal and Apple with a 0.5 m/s constant air flow rate. The performance parameters like total energy consumption, drying temperature, relative humidity, Coefficient of Performance (COP), energy efficiency, drying efficiency, Specific Moisture Extraction Rate (SMER), Moisture Extraction Rate (MER), and exergy destruction rate have been analyzed with respect to drying time. To analyze the performance, a convective batch-type drying chamber was designed with 8 trays with a spacing of 2.5 cm, and a 5 kg sample was used for experimentation. The research emphasizes that the closed-cycle mode of the HPD demonstrates more energy efficiency, average drying temperature, MER, SMER, drying efficiency, and less drying time, total energy consumption, and COP in the drying process as compared to the open-cycle mode. The performance of closed-mode HPD is observed to be superior for Amla as compared to Apple drying products. The average drying air temperatures and SMER for amla and apple in the open system were 52–60°C, and 2.09 kg/kWh, and 58–60°C, and 1.53 kg/kWh, respectively, but temperatures and SMER in the closed system were 58–65°C, and 1.4 kWh, and 58–67°C, and 3.0 kWh, respectively.

The functional, structural, thermal, morphological, compositional properties and surface area of the synthesized composite catalytic membrane and its precursors (PSSA, PVA, and Nd2O3) were assessed using Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, Thermogravimetric, scanning electron microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-Ray, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, respectively. The newly prepared composite catalytic membrane was employed in the catalytic conversion of triglycerides in waste cooking corn oil (WCCO) to fatty acid methyl ester (FAMEs) chemically known as biodiesel. The formation of biodiesel was confirmed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Proton Nuclear Magnetic Spectroscopy. The FAMEs composition of WCCO biodiesel was ascertained by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry technique, which revealed the presence of C-12 to C-24 FAMEs at different retention times. Numerous factors, including the oil:methanol ratio (1:10, 1:15, and 1:20), catalyst quantity (1, 2, and 3 weight %), reaction duration (3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 h), and temperature (100°C–140°C), were thoroughly examined and optimized using both conventional and response surface methodology (RSM) methods. The maximum percentage yield of biodiesel was obtained at 1:20 (oil: methanol molar ratio), 3 wt % (catalyst concentration), 5 h (reaction duration), and 140°C (temperature).

This was engineered by fabricating a novel sustainable flocculant via grafting 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as a hydrophilic monomer onto rice straw (RS) as an indigenous biowaste using a sustainable microwave technique in the presence of small amounts of potassium persulphate (KPS) as initiator. HEMA, KPS, and RS concentrations were optimized to scrutinize their impact on maximizing the graft yield and graft reaction efficiency percentage. The so-obtained poly(HEMA)-rice straw graft copolymer was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, specific viscosity, and zeta potential. The optimum conditions for grafting are established to be 50.0% when using [rice straw], 2 g; [KPS], 0.06 mole/L; [HEMA], 100% based on weight of rice straw; [microwave power], 400 W; and [exposure time], 180 s. The flocculation efficiency expressed as turbidity, weight removal percentage, and sedimentation rate height of the copolymer toward kaolin and iron ore suspensions was evaluated by studying the foremost factors affecting the flocculation process, like flocculent dose, pH, temperature, and extent of grafting. The flocculant so obtained at the optimum conditions achieved the highest flocculation efficiency through turbidity of 44 and 55 NTU, weight removal % of 63 and 58, and sedimentation rate height equal to −28 and −27 cm for kaolin and iron ore suspensions respectively. A comparison with other flocculants, flocculant durability, and the proposed reaction mechanism were conducted.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149206105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of all operable combinations in a diesel engine, the strongest enhancement of brake thermal efficiency (BTE) was found by the experimental addition of 150 ppm CeO2 and TiO2, rising from 28.9% (diesel) to 31.5%, and the drop in Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) is from 0.29 to 0.27 kg/kWh. Emission analysis showed a 21% reduction in HC, a 16% reduction in CO, and a 24% reduction in smoke opacity, while CO2 and NOₓ showed reasonable increases of 9% and 7%, respectively (over baseline diesel). A series of machine learning models (Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost, and Ensemble Regression) were developed to predict the performance as well as emission results. In the present work obtained the highest total accuracy using Random Forest (R2 = 0.82; RMSE = 7.91 and MAE = 4.10), followed by Gradient Boosting (R2 = 0.78).

Experimental data were collected across a 60–110 MW load range, and SVR models were developed to capture nonlinear behavior in SOx, NOx, suspended particulate matter, flue gas temperature, and flame intensity. The GA Pareto method was then applied to identify optimal non-dominated operating points for emission minimization and combustion enhancement. The results show that co-firing 10% MSW reduces SOx emissions by 29–32%, while 10% biomass reduces SOx by 10–13% relative to optimized coal firing in the stable range. For NOx, biomass blending shows a 2–4% reduction, whereas MSW shows a slight increase due to higher fuel-bound nitrogen. Combustion performance improved significantly under MSW and biomass fuels and increased flue gas temperatures to 820°C and 830°C, compared to 700°C for coal only, while flame intensity peaked at 45.5 for MSW, 6% above coal. For all responses, the GA Pareto optima consistently clustered in the 90–105 MW range, confirming this as the most favorable operational band for balancing emission control and combustion stability. Overall, the hybrid SVR–GA methodology proved highly effective in identifying realistic, multi-objective operating strategies for waste and biomass co-firing in boiler. The combined SVR–GA approach thus provides a validated and intelligent model for co-firing decision-making.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
