This study proposes a simple and economical hydrothermal synthesis process for ZSM-5 using CGFS as the raw material. In this process, impurities in CGFS were first removed by acid washing, which facilitated the subsequent alkaline extraction of silicon and aluminum species. The extracted Si-Al precursors were then converted into ZSM-5 <em>via</em> hydrothermal crystallization at 170 °C for 48 h, yielding a product with a high specific surface area of 358 m<sup>2</sup>/g.

At 25 °C, the removal efficiency for a 50 mg/L Pb<sup>2+</sup> solution reached 83.7%, with an adsorption capacity of 104.625 mg/g under optimized conditions. The adsorption process is mainly governed by chemisorption mechanisms, including surface complexation, precipitation, and ion exchange.

To address this issue, this study investigates the thermal liquefaction of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using low-pressure superheated methanol. It systematically evaluates the effects of the reaction temperature and the ratio of reactant to methanol on the liquefaction efficiency and product characteristics. Results indicate that the complete conversion of HDPE could be achieved in low-pressure superheated state methanol (<0.5 MPa) at a minimum external heating temperature of 260 °C. Under this condition, the oil yield reached 77.1% with alkanes comprising 62.3% of the product alongside minor oxygenated compounds. As temperature increased, the average carbon number of hydrocarbons gradually decreased. Below 260 °C, the HDPE conversion decreased significantly, and the products were primarily waxy. At 290 °C, the proportion of gasoline-like fractions (C6–C12) increased markedly from 16.6% to 80.9%. Furthermore, reactant ratio plays a critical regulatory role; extremes in ratio—either too high or too low—diminish heat transfer efficiency and reduce conversion. Mechanistically, the liquefaction primarily involved the cleavage of secondary C−C bonds, where the resulting oligomers further cracked into free radicals to form diverse hydrocarbons through secondary reactions. This work demonstrates that low-pressure superheated methanol liquefaction is a mild, efficient, and pretreatment-free method to upcycle polyethylene into valuable fuels. Optimizing these process parameters can pave the way for industrial application, aiding in both plastic pollution management and sustainable resource recovery.<span><figure><span><img><ol><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download high-res image (117KB)</span></span></span></li><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download full-size image</span></span></span></li></ol></span></figure></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":15956,"journal":{"name":"燃料化学学报","volume":"54 6","pages":"Article 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148247299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the influence mechanism of the interactions among minerals on the generation of tar during coal pyrolysis remains unclear. To investigate the mechanism of the effect of acidic mineral components on the behavior of Ca<sup>2+</sup> during coal pyrolysis, several samples were prepared by HCl and HF washing and Ca<sup>2+</sup> ion exchanging. The pyrolysis behaviors of the experimental coal samples were examined in a fixed-bed reactor. During the acid washing process, the ash content was effectively reduced, while the contents of organic elements such as carbon and hydrogen were also decreased. The loading of ion-exchangeable calcium enhanced the thermal weight loss rate of the coal sample in the 500–550 °C range, and the corresponding peak temperature shifted from 530 °C to 514 °C for the coal without Ca. When coal was pyrolyzed at a final temperature of 600 °C with a slow heating rate, kaolinite in acidic mineral components undergoes dehydroxylation to form metakaolin, and the content of small aromatic rings (<6 rings) in the char pyrolyzed by Ca-loaded coal sample was lower than that of the coal sample after acid washing. Due to the coexistence of acidic mineral components with ion-exchangeable Ca, the content of aliphatic hydrocarbons in the pyrolysis tar of YL-HCl-Ca reached 21.98%, significantly higher than 13.60% in the corresponding pyrolysis tar of YL-De-Ca. From the apparent results, it can be found that the acidic mineral components inhibit the adverse effect of ion exchangeable Ca<sup>2+</sup> on the lightening of coal tar.<span><figure><span><img><ol><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download high-res image (125KB)</span></span></span></li><li><span><span>Download: <span>Download full-size image</span></span></span></li></ol></span></figure></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":15956,"journal":{"name":"燃料化学学报","volume":"54 6","pages":"Article 11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148246785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the design of CBD-mimetic solid acids based on four representative strategies: electrostatic anchoring, hydrophobic microenvironment engineering, spatial confinement and covalent lock-and-key mechanisms. The underlying principles of these approaches, including substrate-specific recognition, local concentration enhancement, and synergistic “adsorption-catalysis” effects, are critically discussed to elucidate their contributions in improving catalytic affinity, selectivity, and durability. Despite significant progress, challenges such as mass-transfer resistance and insufficient structural robustness remain in complex biomass conversion systems.

Support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), temporal convolutional network (TCN), one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) algorithms were used for regression modeling of coal properties. Among the various models considered herein, the TCN model was shown to provide the lowest Mean Absolute Error (MAE) value, which was 0.505. In addition, the RF model demonstrated the lowest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of 0.618, indicating its robustness in prediction on the test set. The TCN model, on the other hand, had the lowest Coefficient of Variation (CV) value of 0.042, which demonstrated its good generalization ability and stability. Furthermore, the developed single-output models revealed that different models have different predictive effects on coal components. For example, it was found that the TCN model is optimal for predicting ash content, while the RF model is the most accurate model for predicting fixed carbon and low calorific value. Taking into account the quantity of model parameters, computation time, and accuracy analysis, the results showed that the RF, 1D CNN and TCN models are more efficient. Finally, the influence of key characteristic peaks on prediction results was revealed through SHAP value analysis. The results showed a relationship between absorption intensity and composition of organic and inorganic values in coal to near-infrared light, suggesting important characteristic spectral ranges for ash, moisture, and fixed carbon.
