Some representative briquettes were selected based on their high LHVs for further evaluation. Their densities were greater than 1.0 g cm<sup>−3</sup>, and hybrids of coarse CS particles with medium WS particles compacted in the ratio range of 5:5–7:3 at 100 °C had higher LHVs (≥19.0 MJ kg<sup>−1</sup>) and densities, complying with class A1 non-woody briquettes in ISO 17225–7:2021 and class TW2 commercial and industrial biofuels in ISO 17225–8. The molecules of the particles were solidified by forming new hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole forces, and inter-particle solid bridges.

The reason was attributed to the breathability of PV modules, which was demonstrated by many qualitative and quantitative experiments, including: 1) color change/reaction of cobalt chloride (CoCl<sub>2</sub>) test paper (entrapped between encapsulant and backsheet) with water diffused into PV module; 2) water content of encapsulant after aging; 3) acetic acid concentration inside encapsulant after aging. Due to its unique structure, single glass PV module can “breathe” under daily operation which enables small molecules, e.g., water, medium sized molecules, e.g., acetic acid, diffuse out from the PV module, reducing continuous corrosion of metallic components of PV modules. Breathability ensures PV module higher reliability as well as high efficiency by removal of water and acetic acid and eventually results in more annual power generation.

Existing assessments often rely on static LCAs, offering limited optimization, or employ fragmented parametric models that do not capture full system interdependencies. This study introduces a novel, comprehensive parametric Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework for Ti6Al4V powder production, addressing these limitations. Its core methodological innovation lies in the integration of the entire production chain (from mining to sieving) and the simultaneous optimization of technically crucial, interdependent operational parameters, specifically, TiO<sub>2</sub> content in slag (typically 0.78–0.90), atomization electrode diameter (0.04–0.10 m), and argon pressure (often ≈5.5 MPa), rather than just parameterizing mass/energy flows as often seen in prior models. This is achieved by linking upstream process quality (e.g., slag composition impacting chlorination energy) to downstream performance and environmental impacts (e.g., atomization energy and waste generation) through empirically-derived relationships based on extensive literature data. The model minimizes environmental impact under user-defined control conditions (target powder diameter, region, impact category). Numerical investigation demonstrates significant impact reduction potential. Crucially, the model quantifies environmental trade-offs between conflicting objectives and reveals critical hotspots, with atomization and chlorination consistently accounting for >70 % of impacts even post-optimization. Energy consumption sensitivity is high, varying over five-fold for key steps based on parameter adjustments. This holistic, multi-variable optimization approach provides unprecedented, actionable insights by identifying optimal operational settings, not just sensitivities, for enhancing the sustainability of Ti6Al4V powder production, overcoming limitations of prior static or phase-specific parametric models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34618,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Engineering and Technology","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 101032"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144480368","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}

For the first time, we successfully differentiated water and bitumen phases in real time within bitumen froth. This breakthrough allowed direct observation of fine particle behavior and their association with either the water or bitumen phase. High-resolution characterization confirmed our earlier finding that approximately 40 % of solids attached to bubbles and are transported to the froth through true flotation. The enhanced resolution further revealed that heavy minerals are more likely to undergo true flotation than sand particles, which is attributed to their stronger hydrophobicity after bitumen coating. Wettability measurements showed that bitumen-coated rutile had a contact angle of 128°, significantly higher than the 95° for bitumen-coated quartz. Beyond true flotation, X-ray imaging showed that about 80 % of fluid phase particles resided in water, indicating significant water entrainment. These findings suggest that reducing water content in the froth could help lower solids entrainment. Overall, this study provides new insight into the mechanisms of unwanted solids carryover during oil sands flotation, and offers potential strategies to improve bitumen froth quality with fewer solids.
