Studies have shown that the temperature and duration of synthesis significantly affect the phase, number of layer, and particle size of MoS2. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on how these factors, including the wettability of MoS2, influence the water evaporation rate. In this study, we synthesized MoS2 at two distinct temperatures: 180 and 200°C using a hydrothermal method. This study shows MoS2 synthesized at 180°C forms smaller 2H-MoS2 nanosheets with small grains size and more defects and exhibits higher evaporation rates <math>\u0000 <mn>1.52</mn>\u0000 <mo>±</mo>\u0000 <mn>0.02</mn></math> kg m−2 h−1. This increased evaporation is due to smaller nanosheets provides a larger surface area, enhancing light absorption and thermal energy conversion. The defective sites in MoS2, especially along its edges, act as preferential adsorption sites for water molecules. This facilitates water diffusion, and consequently increases wettability and accelerates evaporation. The use of MoS2 on air-laid paper as photothermal materials also demonstrated excellent salt rejection (>99%). This work demonstrates the novelty of tuning the efficiency of MoS2-based solar water evaporation systems by simply adjusting the synthesis temperature. This approach is an innovative method for industrial-scale solar evaporation applications.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689122","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 results indicated that the best conditions for ethane storage and transport are achieved at the temperature ranging from −30 to −46°C in case of using liquefaction systems, which is attributable to the low energy consumption as well as low operating costs and low-cost investment. This cost would be very significant in comparison with the increase in storage volume at very low temperatures. The direct capital cost of implementing these projects will be in the range of $ 27 ~ 41 million as well as the cost of preparing and transporting $ 310 ~ 475 per ton.

Based on this, the study explored the impact of technological innovations, financial development, and income inequality on renewable energy consumption using data from 1980Q1 to 2021Q4. Taking into account the nonlinear and non-normal distribution of the variables, the study employed wavelet-based quantile techniques. Specifically, wavelet quantile ADF and PP tests were utilized to examine the stationarity properties of the data across different time horizons and quantiles. Additionally, wavelet quantile-on-quantile regression was used which focuses on various time horizons and quantiles. As a robustness check, wavelet quantile regression and average wavelet quantile-on-quantile regression were applied. The results revealed that across all time-scales (short, medium and long-term) and quantiles (0.1–0.90), economic growth, income inequality, and financial development positively influence renewable energy consumption. In addition, technological innovations were found to have mixed effect on renewable energy consumption.

Fluctuating energy costs and policy interventions have substantially increased global interest in biofuel production, imperative for population growth and accelerated economic development. High computation complexity, low accuracy, and other factors limited earlier works in biological production, which were overcome by predictive modeling, a promising approach to enhance efficiency and sustainability through precise forecasting and process optimization. This article introduces an innovative biofuel production prediction model named the Seagull optimization based deep belief network model for biofuel production (SGO-DBN), comprising four major stages: data pre-processing, reconstruction, prediction, and SGO optimization. The proposed model initially performs data pre-processing using the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique. A DBN model is used to predict biofuel production, which is further optimized by a seagull optimization algorithm-based hyperparameter optimizer. The biofuel production rate consistently increased over six years with minimal divergence between the predicted and actual outcome. A comparative analysis showed the computation time of the proposed SGO-DBN model was lower than that of existing techniques, while the rate of production analysis emphasized the model's robust predictive performance. Results of numerous simulations conducted to evaluate the model's performance based on various metrics showed that the SGO-DBN model surpassed the performance of recent state-of-the-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688839","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}

In the proposed plan, bi-reforming was done by recirculation of the flue gas. The recirculated flue gas which dominantly including CO2 and H2O and inert gas N2 mixed with a certain part of NG flow and the mixture passed through an array of nickel based catalysts placed inside a helical tube mounted in the furnace wall to bi-reforming process is done. Gasses mixture temperature of 800°C, p = 1 atm and the ratio of CH4/(CO2 + H2O) = 0.8 were the proposed bi-reforming condition. The results indicated that in the proposed bi-reforming condition, significant portion of CH4 and CO2 converted to H2 and CO. The CH4 and CO2 conversion were 98.47% and 81.18% while the yield of H2 and CO as the target reaction products were 94.40% and 93.38%, respectively. Bi-reforming changed the NG flame from blue to a yellow luminous. Furthermore, since the methane adiabatic flame temperature at p = 1 atm is greater than that of for hydrogen, H2 generated by bi-reforming combusted inside the combustion reaction zone and raises the flame temperature. Both enhance the flame temperature and luminosity raises RHF as much as 30%. Finally, although the bi-reforming slightly increases the NOx emission, it decreases the total amount of flue gas emission to environment, which makes the method environmentally friendly.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688866","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 catalyst plays a crucial role in determining the catalytic efficiency of heterogeneous Fenton reaction. Biochar, characterized by its rich pore structure, abundant surface functional groups, and high adsorption strength, serves as an excellent carrier for Fenton catalysts. This paper investigates the impact of various factors on NO oxidation using biochar loaded with nano Fe3O4 as the catalyst. The study identifies optimal process conditions and the improvement mechanism of reducing modification of biochar is also analyzed in depth. Results indicate that NO oxidation efficiency increases with higher concentrations and injection rates of H2O2. The optimal temperature range for the atomization zone is found to be between 150 and 170°C. Increasing the iron content in the catalyst significantly enhances NO oxidation efficiency, with an optimal iron content of approximately 50%. The reducing modification of biochar is controlled by adjusting the pH of the synthesis solution, and increasing the pH from 7 to 13 raises NO oxidation efficiency from 84.1% to 99.1%. Quantum chemical calculations further demonstrate that higher pH levels correlate with greater degrees of biochar reduction, an increased number of CC sp2 hybrids, and enhanced electron transfer rates, all of which contribute to improved catalytic efficiency.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688867","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}

On this basis, the study deeply analyzes the spatial differentiation characteristics of the air logistics green development level of different airport logistics hub cities and puts forward multi-dimensional policy recommendations. The results are as follows: (1) Since 2010, the total carbon emissions of aviation logistics in airport-type national logistics hub cities have been increasing year by year, especially in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, and Chengdu. The carbon emissions of aviation logistics in different economic zones differ greatly, showing the characteristics of East > West > Central > Northeast. (2) The green development level of air logistics in different airport-type national logistics hub cities is gradually rising, relatively maintaining a stable state, but the difference is large.

The results indicated a maximum average saving of 1.83 m3/MWh. The considerable water savings serve to reinforce the case for the implementation of HCT, particularly in regions characterized by arid climates and water scarcity. A reduction in water consumption, coupled with the prevention of the return of hot water to sensitive ecosystems, can serve as effective mitigation strategies for environmental problems. Moreover, the minimal water consumption required for this process makes it feasible to construct thermal power plants and generate electricity in regions with limited water resources. The HCT approach facilitates the generation of energy in regions previously deemed unsuitable for thermal power plants, thereby representing a significant advancement in economic and developmental terms for these areas.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688796","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}
