Initially, the performance of ACEW-30 was compared with AC impregnated with fresh EW and synthetic amino acids using fixed-bed adsorption system. The results revealed that ACEW-30 prepared from waste sources demonstrated comparable performance with other adsorbents tested, suggesting its potential for waste valorisation. Afterwards, the data were fitted to various adsorption isotherm models, namely, Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Toth, Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin, to characterise the adsorbate-adsorbent interaction between CO2 molecules and ACEW-30 at different adsorption temperatures (25–50°C) and CO2 partial pressures (0.15–0.30 vol.%). The isotherm results were used to evaluate thermodynamic properties using Van't Hoff and Clausius–Clapeyron equations. The effect of regeneration conditions (desorption temperatures and nitrogen purging flow rate) have also been investigated prior to cyclic adsorption–desorption experiments. Overall findings indicate that CO2 adsorption on ACEW-30 was best fitted to Freundlich isotherm, spontaneous and exothermic in nature. The isosteric heat of adsorption was within 20–24 kJ/mol, suggesting that the adsorption mechanism lies within the intermediate region between purely physical and purely chemical. Remarkably, the results obtained from regeneration studies reveal that ACEW-30 exhibited high regeneration stability at 25°C and 800 mL/min purging flow rate, with more than 87% efficiency even after 20 cyclic adsorption–desorption.","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"15 4","pages":"472-486"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ghg.2354","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the energy consumption and global warming potential (GWP) associated with the production of these materials were assessed using a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment analysis. Several samples were prepared by replacing up to 40% of the cement with diatomite, while maintaining the same sand and water content in the mortar.

However, calcining diatomite up to 850°C altered the quality of the produced silica, resulting in lower values compared with raw diatomite mortars. The mortars’ compressive and flexural strengths slightly decreased when diatomite was used as a substitute, with reductions of up to 10%. Calcined diatomite mortars demonstrated a higher water absorption capacity than raw diatomite mortars. The study concluded that mortars in which 40% of the cement has been partially replaced by either raw diatomite or calcined diatomite offer the most satisfactory thermal performance, while retaining sufficient mechanical strength to enable them to be classified as construction mortars.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology offers a promising solution for reducing CO2 emissions, but its effectiveness depends on identifying suitable candidates that can ensure safe, long-term storage of CO2. This study proposes a systematic four-stage workflow for selecting optimal CO2 storage sites, developed through a comprehensive review of existing approaches. The workflow begins with preliminary, large-scale assessments of broad geographic areas, such as sedimentary basins, using geological, technical, environmental, and economic criteria. Although these assessments provide valuable regional insights, they often lack the resolution required for precise evaluations. Site-specific frameworks bridge this gap by examining individual candidates, such as saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs. However, basic frameworks frequently oversimplify suitability evaluation by neglecting the interdependencies and uncertainties inherent in real-world conditions. To address these challenges, advanced frameworks are incorporated to apply multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and optimization techniques, such as pinch analysis and process graphs. MCDM-based frameworks weigh conflicting criteria, whereas optimization-based frameworks ensure the technical and economic feasibility of CO2 allocation in the source-to-sink matching problem. Applying this workflow to the UK context reveals the need for advanced assessments of storage candidates such as the Bunter Sandstone Formation, demonstrating that relying solely on basic frameworks is insufficient. The findings underscore the importance of integrated approaches that combine both basic and advanced suitability evaluations to enhance the robustness of site-selection practices. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"15 4","pages":"487-510"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ghg.2349","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The successful implementation of UHS in saline aquifers depends on many vital factors and parameters. Among these factors, the solubility of hydrogen (H2) in brine remains a relevant consideration, particularly due to its influence on potential bio-geochemical reactions that may occur within underground formations. Given the significant expense and time demands associated with experimental methods for determining hydrogen solubility in brine, there is a growing need for a reliable and low-cost alternative capable of delivering accurate predictions. In this research, a suite of robust machine learning (ML) schemes, including multilayer perceptron (MLP), genetic programming (GP), and the group method of data handling (GMDH), is employed to construct predictive models for hydrogen solubility in brine, specifically under challenging high-pressure and high-temperature scenarios. The obtained results demonstrated the promising performance of the newly suggested ML-based paradigms.

Eastern LMBC holds limited potential for CO2 storage due to both the shallow depth of strata in that region and the high geological uncertainty resulting from limited subsurface data. The Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group across the entire LMBC is unsuitable for CO2 injection because it has very poor reservoir quality (generally <1 mD permeability and <8% porosity). In contrast, the Paleogene Huntingdon Formation in Western and Central LMBC contains thick successions of reservoir-quality rock (average thickness: 110 m, porosity: 15%), though its low permeability (≥10 mD) may restrict injection rates. Its estimated CO2 storage capacity is ∼400 Mt, making it a secondary target. The Neogene Boundary Bay Formation, also in Western and Central LMBC, offers the most favorable conditions, with higher permeability (13–67 mD), porosity (18%–21%), and thick reservoir intervals (up to 155 m).
