Further, a metal-supported SOFC equipped with the aerosol-deposited YSZ electrolyte can be fabricated at a heat-treatment temperature of 1050 °C or less throughout the production process.

Regeneration by supercritical CO2 (scCO2) avoids the high temperatures associated with the commonly used thermal regeneration method, which may damage the activated carbon. However, previous studies cover only a limited range of operating conditions, and more extensive research is required for better understanding the scCO2 process. In this study, the adsorption equilibria of propyl acetate on activated carbon in scCO2 were investigated using the fixed-bed adsorption method at 313 K–353 K and 10 MPa–20 MPa. Our results agree with previous reports of other VOCs on the effect of temperature and pressure on adsorption equilibria. Furthermore, the Dubinin–Astakhov (DA) equation is used to correlate the measured data with an average relative deviation of 5.6%. Evidently, the adsorbed amounts of propyl acetate are higher than those of ethyl acetate but lower than those of butyl acetate, which can be attributed to their different volatilities in scCO2 and different affinities for the used adsorbent.","PeriodicalId":15331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Engineering of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Sabatier reaction, which synthesizes methane by hydrogenating carbon dioxide, requires a cooling facility in the reactor due to its large heat value. On the other hand, hydrogen is supposed to be transported as a hydrogen energy carrier such as ammonia, and energy must be injected to produce hydrogen from them. The ammonia methanation reaction, in which these two reactions proceed simultaneously, has a low heat of reaction and can be constructed using an adiabatic reactor. In this study, the ammonia methanation reaction with a hybrid catalyst that combines an ammonia decomposition catalyst and a Sabatier reaction catalyst as powders was investigated. Precipitated iron catalyst modified with alumina and potassium showed good activity for ammonia decomposition. Ammonia methanation reaction was carried out using a hybrid catalyst combining modified precipitated iron catalyst and Ni/CeO2 catalyst, but almost no methane was obtained. This is presumed to be due to the formation of CeFeO3, which is a composite oxide, the shrinkage of the pores of CeO2, and the alteration of Ni. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of contact points between the precipitated iron catalyst and the Ni/CeO2 catalyst, they were formed into particles and mixed to conduct the ammonia methanation reaction. However, although methane was produced, a sufficient yield was not obtained. Ni/Al2O3 catalyst also showed good activity for ammonia decomposition reaction. A hybrid catalyst consisting of Ni/Al2O3 and Ni/CeO2 catalysts was used for the ammonia methanation reaction, and a high methane yield of over 60% was obtained.","PeriodicalId":15331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Engineering of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have previously reported the fabrication of soy protein-based fibers by combination of wet spinning and ionic cross-linking of alginate. In this study, we focused on the calcium ion concentration in the coagulant solution and alginate concentration in the spinning solution, which are determinant factors for in the gelation of alginate. The fiber diameter was reduced by increasing calcium ion concentration, probably due to the dehydration from fiber induced by osmotic pressure difference with coagulant solution and the suppression of swelling of fiber by the rapid gelation. The hardness of fibers evaluated by texture analysis increased as the concentrations of alginate and calcium ion increased, while the springiness increased with increasing calcium ion concentration but decreased with alginate concentration. The controlling the structure and texture of fibers by the compositions of spinning and coagulant solutions would improve their applicability to meat substitutes.","PeriodicalId":15331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Engineering of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135734912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
