In this study, we prepared binderless fiberboards from sugarcane leaf with <3 % moisture (w/w) and <1 mm in size by hot‐pressing temperature in the 210–240 °C range, followed by surface coating with polyurethane. The effect of hot‐pressing temperature on the modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bonding (IB) strength, and thickness swelling of the binderless sugarcane leaves was investigated. An optimal pressing condition for preparing the binderless sugarcane leaf fiberboards was 230 °C for pressing temperature, 5 MPa for pressing pressure, and 600 s for pressing time, giving 1200 kg m−3 for board density, MOE of 657.1 MPa, MOR of 7.04 MPa, and IB strength of 0.277 MPa. The thickness swelling of the coated samples was almost completely eliminated by the surface coating.","PeriodicalId":319706,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering & Technology","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141369347","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}

SOECs have great potential, including high‐energy efficiency, fast electrode kinetics, and competitive cost; however, this technology still has challenges in developing highly active, robust CO2 cathode electrocatalysts. In this work, we report the Ni‐doped lanthanum strontium calcium titanate (La0.20Sr0.25Ca0.45Ni0.05Ti0.95O3−δ) cathode for application as the cathode of CO2 electrolysis with gadolinia‐doped ceria (Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95) electrolyte in SOEC. The exsolution of Ni nanoparticles is achieved by a simple in situ growth method at 800 °C. The Ni doping in LSCT significantly improved the electrochemical activity of the catalyst by increasing oxygen vacancies, and the Ni metallic nanoparticles can afford much more active sites for CO2 reduction. The CO2 electrolysis mechanism is studied by the distribution of relaxation time analysis of impedance spectroscopy. Ni‐LSCT renders a higher activity for electrolysis of CO2 with an exceptionally high reduction current density of 3.89 A cm−2 at 2.5 V potential applied and 800 °C temperature with GDC (Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95) electrolyte. Ni doping is a crucial factor in controlling the electrochemical performance and catalytic activity in SOEC and GDC electrolytes, which is further helped by the high ionic conductivity.","PeriodicalId":319706,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering & Technology","volume":"12 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141105082","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}

The regeneration of the adsorbent treating sfw‐biogas required a shorter evacuation time than that of treating the biogas with a typical composition of 60 % CH4 (t‐biogas). The VPSA process treating sfw‐biogas required half the evacuation time and 26 % lower energy consumption. However, the methane recovery decreased from 80 % for t‐biogas to 65 % for sfw‐biogas.","PeriodicalId":319706,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering & Technology","volume":"59 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141108386","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}
