Fuel conversion efficiencies reach 89–93.5 % for solid fuels like pine sawdust with Cu-based carriers, and up to 100 % for liquid fuels like glycerin and propane using metallic and nickel-based oxygen carriers, respectively. Carbon capture efficiencies vary, with pet coke achieving 97 % using ilmenite and Mn-based carriers.The energy duty for CLC is estimated at 0.3 GJ/tCO₂, with studies showing a 6 % reduction in CAPEX and a 14 % drop in OPEX compared to amine-based absorption.

Photocatalytic upcycling, as a sustainable approach, has been explored for hydrogen production and the production of value-added chemicals using the waste plastic substrate, signifying “treasure from trash”.

Because of its widespread nature and high toxicity even at very low concentrations and bio accumulative properties, it is imperative to monitor and measure the concentrations of the HMIs in water sources for a safe and healthy environment.

Inhibition of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and lack of biomass for anaerobic ammonia oxidation are the core barriers to the scale-up of mainstream PN-A technology. In recent years, biochar has shown broad application prospects in the mainstream anammox field due to its unique ability to reduce nitrates. This review systematically summarizes the role of biochar carriers under different feedstocks and production conditions for the promotion of nitrogen removal performance in anammox reactors and the effective mitigation of pollutant inhibition, and further analyzes the possible mechanisms of action involved in terms of metabolic changes at the microbial molecular level. The structure of biochar optimizes the survival environment of anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria (AnAOB), promotes the activity and gene expression of functional bacteria, and synergizes with partial denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation to achieve the degradation of nitrate and the stable supply of nitrite, which enhances the efficiency of anammox for nitrogen removal. In addition, the potential risks of biochar to the environment are summarized, and risk aversion measures are given to promote the anammox reaction and promote the friendly development of the environment. This indicates that the future biochar anammox process can be carried out in the direction of research on biochar harmlessness, compositing and modification strategies, to provide a theoretical basis for biochar in the mainstream anammox.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering","volume":"13 3","pages":"Article 116536"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
