This study systematically investigates hydrogen concentration (vol%) from <em>Chlorella vulgaris</em> microalgae and microalgae-empty fruit bunch (MA-EFB) co-pyrolysis using two fixed-bed reactor configurations: a custom-designed horizontal fixed-bed reactor (custom reactor) and a conventional tube furnace. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimise temperature (400–700 °C), residence time (20–60 min), particle size (150–300 µm), and MA blending ratio (0.25–0.75 g/g). Feedstock characterisation confirmed strong physicochemical complementarity, supporting favourable thermochemical interactions during co-pyrolysis. For microalgae pyrolysis, validated hydrogen concentrations of 48.28 vol% in the custom-designed horizontal fixed-bed reactor (custom reactor) and 44.81 vol% in the tube furnace were achieved under optimised conditions, with temperature identified as the dominant factor influencing hydrogen concentration. Co-pyrolysis further enhanced hydrogen concentration, achieving peak values of 58.94 vol% (custom reactor) and 56.48 vol% (tube furnace) at ∼666 °C, 60 min, MA ≈ 0.75, and 150 µm particle size. Statistical analysis produced highly significant quadratic models (R² &gt; 0.996, CV &lt; 5%), confirming the presence of an optimal operating window. Differences in hydrogen concentration between the two reactor configurations suggest that reactor configuration may influence hydrogen concentration, with the custom reactor consistently achieving approximately 2–3 vol% higher hydrogen concentration than the tube furnace under comparable conditions. These findings highlight the potential of MA-EFB co-pyrolysis under atmospheric, non-catalytic, fixed-bed conditions for enhancing hydrogen concentration (vol%) within the product gas, while further investigation incorporating absolute hydrogen productivity measurements and full gas composition analysis is required to evaluate overall process efficiency and scalability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20743,"journal":{"name":"Process Safety and Environmental Protection","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 109322"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148658752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

To attain the objective of more efficient defluorination of PFAS in actual water environment, the discharge characteristics of liquid phase microwave discharge plasma technology were explored. It was discovered that conductivity had a negligible impact on the discharge.

However, standardized 20-L tests may not capture the true iron explosion severity, as Pₘₐₓ occurs at ≥ 1500 g/m³ , exceeding the vessel’s oxygen capacity (∼660–990 g/m³). To resolve this discrepancy, oxygen consumption after the explosion was quantified, allowing a comparison between stoichiometric and pressure-based heat release. The results show that both pressure and oxygen consumption increase between 500 and 1000 g/m³ and then plateau at ≥ 1500 g/m³ (∼3.8 bar, 92–99%), indicating oxygen-limited conditions. The calculated stoichiometric heat release exceeds the pressure-derived heat release. This quantifies significant heat losses in the 20-L apparatus. Despite oxygen depletion, pressure-based heat release continues to increase approximately linearly. This suggests that only a fraction of the nominal dust mass participates in the process, which explains why no significant heat sink effect is observed. CFD simulations further support this assumption by revealing incomplete dust injection with material being trapped in the valve. The overpressure–concentration model developed in this study, which is based on measured oxygen consumption, demonstrates higher values (around 5.6 bar) and a shift in the maximum overpressure to around 1000 g/m³ , as well as a decline at higher loadings. These results provide an upper-bound (worst-case) estimate of explosion severity that is not captured by standard 20-L measurements. Together, these findings demonstrate that standard 20-L sphere measurements do not accurately reflect the true Pₘₐₓ for iron-based dusts, highlighting the need for improved dispersion systems and revised testing methodologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20743,"journal":{"name":"Process Safety and Environmental Protection","volume":"215 ","pages":"Article 109120"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148289145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}
