The effects of carbonization temperature and thermochemical KOH activation conditions on the porous structure as a BET surface, micropore volume, micropore width, and pore size distribution of ACs prepared from walnut (WNS) and hazelnut (HNS) shells were investigated. As a result, one-step carbonization at 900/800 °C and thermochemical KOH activation with a char/KOH mass ratio of 1:2/1:3 were found to be optimal for preparing ACs from WNS/HNS: WNS-AC-3 and HNS-AC-2, respectively. The textural properties of the WNS/HNS chars and ACs were characterized by low-temperature nitrogen vapor adsorption, XRD, and SEM methods. Dubinin’s theory of volume filling of micropores was used to evaluate the microporosity parameters and to calculate the CO2 adsorption equilibrium over the sub- and supercritical temperatures from 216.4 to 393 K at a pressure up to 10 MPa. The CO2 capture capacities of WNS- and HNS-derived adsorbents reached 5.9/4.1 and 5.4/3.9 mmol/g at 273/293 K under 0.1 MPa pressure, respectively. A discrepancy between the total and delivery volumetric adsorption capacities of the adsorbents was attributed to the strong binding of CO2 molecules with the adsorption sites, which were mainly narrow micropores with a high adsorption potential. The high initial differential heats of CO2 adsorption onto ACs of ~32 kJ/mol confirmed this proposal. The behaviors of thermodynamic functions (enthalpy and entropy) of the adsorption systems were attributed to changes in the state of adsorbed CO2 molecules determined by a balance between attractive and repulsive CO2–CO2 and CO2–AC interactions during the adsorption process. Thus, the chosen route for preparing ACs from the nutshells made it possible to prepare efficient carbon adsorbents with a relatively high CO2 adsorption performance due to a substantial volume of micropores with a size in the range of 0.6–0.7 nm.","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77858644","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 our study, a site-specific rock physics model was created from extensive geological, geophysical, and geomechanical characterization through 3D seismic data, well logs, and core assessed as part of the 1D MEM conducted on the characterization well within the study area. The Biot-Gassmann workflow was utilized to combine the rock physics and reservoir simulation outputs to determine the seismic velocity change due to fluid substitution. Modeled seismic velocities attributed to mean effective stress were determined from the geomechanical simulation outputs, and the stress-velocity relationship developed from ultrasonic seismic velocity measurements. A machine learning-assisted workflow comprised of an artificial neural network and a particle swarm optimizer (PSO) was utilized to minimize a penalty function created between the modeled seismic velocities and the observed time-lapse VSP dataset.

Reactive transport simulations provide the opportunity to analyze which factors influence geochemical reactivity in the reservoir, understand those most important for promoting CO₂ trapping, and assess individual sites. Field-scale aquifer characterization is time and resource intensive such that here, reactive transport simulations are leveraged to enhance understanding of selected aquifer properties including porosity, permeability, depth of storage, and carbonate mineralogy on the overall CO₂ trapping potential to better select sites promoting geochemical reactivity for CO₂ trapping. There are different mechanisms for sequestrating CO₂. Once injected, CO₂ will dissolve into the brine to create an acidic environment, resulting in the dissolution of pre-injection formation minerals. Released ions can reprecipitate as secondary minerals. The dissolved CO₂ and mineralized CO₂ are considered as a more secure form of CO₂ trapping in this study compared to the free supercritical CO₂. Here, a framework leveraging a controlled set of field scale simulations is developed to facilitate rapid, optimized site selection. Simulations vary aquifer properties to understand the impact of each unique property on CO₂ trapping, tracking, and comparing the amount of supercritical, aqueous, and mineralized CO₂. The rate at which the CO₂ injected into the aquifer is converted to aqueous or mineralized CO₂ is newly defined here as the sequestration efficiency and used to compare simulation results. The reservoir depth and fraction of carbonate minerals in the formation are shown to be more important factors than reservoir porosity and permeability in affecting CO₂ trapping. However, the impact of aquifer properties on the evolution of injected CO₂ depends on the stage of the sequestration project. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p>","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"13 6","pages":"780-796"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138502913","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}

However, the formation rule of CO₂ hydrate has a significant impact on the formation characteristics of CO₂ hydrate. This paper thoroughly examines the formation properties of CO₂ hydrate in porous media systems. The quantitative impacts and laws of many parameters on the CO₂ hydrate production process are thoroughly examined. On this basis, the internal mechanism of particle size, pore distribution, and critical size of particles in porous media systems on the kinetics of CO₂ hydrate formation are detailed. Finally, the shortcomings of the studies on CO₂ hydrate formation kinetics in porous media systems and the main directions in the future are pointed out.

Countries around the world have successively put forward the goal of carbon neutrality or zero carbon. At the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Chinese government explicitly proposed making efforts to reach the goal of Carbon Peak (peak of carbon emissions before 2030) and Carbon Neutrality (Dual Carbon) (carbon neutrality before 2060). In October 2021, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the “<i>Opinions on Fully, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concepts to Achieve Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality</i>” and the <i>Action Plan for Achieving Carbon Peak before 2030</i>, specifying the targets and tasks related to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality in China. As the world's largest developing country, the world's largest manufacturer, and a country with the most complete industrial categories, China will face multiple challenges such as climate change, economic transition, and environmental protection, which requires systematic support from policy, economy, technology, and society. How to achieve the goal will be a great challenge to China's sustainable development. The academic community has conducted extensive exploration on the realization of China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality in many fields, such as energy transformation, industrial structure upgrading, transportation carbon reduction, urban planning and construction, carbon sink enhancement, low-carbon technologies, green finance, and supporting policies. Among them, policy planning and technological innovation are the most important to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Second, industrial adjustment and enterprise implementation are also important. Therefore, this review will focus on the development status and prospects of policy support, technological innovation, industrial adjustment, and enterprise implementation for achieving dual carbon goals in China. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p>","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"13 5","pages":"732-759"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43528028","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 this process, the oxygen carriers undergo oxidation and reduction reactions in alternate cycles using air and fuel as the reactive gases, respectively. The energy generated in these reactions can radially be transferred for applications like heating air which was successfully demonstrated. The results showed that 85–95% of the generated energy can radially be transferred while maintaining sustained combustion in the bed (at temperatures between 723 and 1173 K). While extending its application for heating liquids like water, it was found in the modeling and simulation study that the existing design resulted in quenching of the bed below 773 K in the oxidation cycle and achieving sustained combustion was not possible for all practical ranges of operating parameters. Hence it was decided to modify the existing system by increasing the volume ratio of the annular bed to the liquid section. Theoretical estimations revealed that increasing this ratio by four times or higher can result in maintaining sustained combustion conditions in the bed while having continuous radial heat transfer to the water flowing in the laminar range. The general guidelines for designing a UMC-based liquid heating system were then prepared and used to propose a new design for water heating. The modeling and simulation studies for this proposed design also indicated that it is a feasible design. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p>","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"13 4","pages":"593-610"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44710003","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}

This article presents the investigation of five gases that are normally used to calibrate devices for the determination of safety characteristics, the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG), with an electronic transformer, and the values are compared to the ones that are obtained with the standard transformer. Additionally, calorimetric measurements on the net energy of both ignition sources were performed as well as open-circuit voltage measurements. It is concluded that the classic type of transformer can be replaced by the new type obtaining the same results for the MESG and introducing the same amount of energy into the system.","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84142579","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}
