Among several methods discussed so far membrane and adsorption methods can be one of the suitable methods for extraction of salt and base metals, respectively. The article also summarizes various mathematical modeling used to study dynamic behavior and kinetics of column adsorption. The three most widely used column models, i.e., Thomas, BDST, and Yoon–Nelson are discussed herein, that help to estimate the adsorption capacity and intensity giving an overview of mechanism and forces responsible for column sorption process. The elaborate discussion on mechanistic forces and factors responsible for metal extraction by sorption makes this review significant and preferable.

Power generation through a gasification route is a potential eco-friendly method. However, the gasification of high-ash-content coal itself is a major challenge, as the presence of high ash content (> 40%) limits the rate of reaction and leads to flow resistance, significantly affecting the gas quality. To overcome this limitation, one has to determine the optimal feasible operating parameters for its gasification. In the present investigation, a two-phase equilibrium model is used to determine the optimally feasible range of the equivalence ratio for gasification of five different types of coals whose ash content varies from 41.08 to 52.56% on a dry weight percentage basis. A parametric study is also carried out with respect to enriched O_2 air and steam addition to find the optimal process configuration. Moreover, response surface methodology is used to optimize the operating variables. From the analysis, it is finally observed that for high-ash-content coals, the most optimally feasible operating parameters are the use of 26.5% O_2-enriched air with 10% mass addition by steam.

Based on its mode of operation, a microgrid is classified as an islanded or grid-connected type. This paper studies five scenarios of optimal scheduling operations for DERs to achieve an economical low-voltage microgrid system. These scenarios are based on different types of grid participation and electricity market pricing strategies. The study's optimization tool was a freshly built, rapid and popular crow search algorithm (CSA). The findings imply that the most economical scenario of microgrid operation was when the grid was actively involved in the purchasing and selling of power with a time-of-usage-based dynamic pricing strategy. Considering scenario 1 as the ideal case, there was a 60% increase in the generation cost when a fixed-price grid was chosen in case 2 and an 80% increase in generation cost when the grid was contributing passively. Numerical findings support the statements that were made, with the CSA technique consistently producing superior-quality solutions with minimal execution time, independent of the problem's dimensions, therefore exceeding other similarly constructed algorithms used in the research.

Many countries worldwide have it as a mission to create citizen-friendly, eco-friendly, and sustainable smart cities. Power generation and power management are also integral parts of this mission. Power generation through renewable energy sources will be a crucial factor in a smart city environment. Renewable energy sources like solar and winds are the most used renewable energy and are more suited for urban applications. The present manuscript focuses on wind power generation using wind turbines in urban environments like smart cities. Most of the urban applications use Vertical axis Wind Turbine (VWT) for power generation. Compared with the Horizontal axis Wind Turbine (HWT), the low efficiency and dynamic instability problems are the main drawbacks of VWT. But the HWT does not have any such issues. Instead, it has its own disadvantages when it is used in smart cities like urban environments. The main shortfalls of conventional HWT are weighing heavily and creating more vibration and acoustic noise. An aramid fiber-based wind blade is proposed in this work to solve the shortcomings of conventional HWT and make it more suited for smart cities such as the urban environment. The CATIA modeling software suite is used to model and design wind blades. To examine the behaviour of the proposed wind turbine, structural, modal, and harmonic analyses are performed using ANSYS. The numerical results indicated that the proposed aramid fiber-based wind turbine is light in weight, creates low acoustic noises, free from vibration, and has a lower chance of resonance occurrence. Thus, it is better suited for urban environments such as smart cities.

Numerous advantages to biodiesel over other biofuels and fossil fuels make it a promising alternative fuel. It was the goal of this research project to distinguish between conventional and new technologies used throughout the biodiesel production and consumption life cycle. Biodiesel generation from micro-algal lipids and enhanced homogeneous and enzymatic transesterification, as well as non-catalytic supercritical transesterification using microwave and ultrasound as helping technologies, are all discussed in detail in the study. Our examination of biodiesel environmental assessment principles and current accomplishments takes into account all the variables that can affect the process efficiency and safety. Scientific research and development on biodiesel have increased over the past few decades. Alternative fuels are high in demand due to dwindling petroleum hydrocarbon supplies worldwide. Biodiesel, a type of biofuel, is now being hailed as a breakthrough commodity that will eventually replace petroleum-based diesel. Biodiesel is a crucial advantage over conventional diesel in biodegradability, reduced exhaust emissions, more outstanding flash points, good lubricity, and other characteristics. Feedstock for biodiesel production includes various edible oils, non-edible oils, animal fats, microalgal oils, waste oils, and advanced solar oil. Biodiesel is prepared by breaking down the fats and oils into their corresponding alkyl esters by heating them. Processes such as transesterification, dilution, pyrolysis, and microemulsion are used to synthesize biodiesel. Microwave-assisted transesterification, reactive distillation, membrane separation, reactive extraction, and ultrasound are all recent developments in biodiesel manufacturing. The present works compare the ongoing research in the area of various biodiesel production processes in terms of their effectiveness.

This is done by optimally transferring the flexible loads to hours when the per-unit cost of utility is lower. This paper performs a bi-level optimization strategy to lower the operating expense of a low-voltage microgrid (LV MG) system operating in grid-connected mode, comprising battery energy storage (BES), renewable energy sources (RES), and fossil fuel-powered generators. In the first level of optimization, the load model is restructured as per the DSM participation level. Thereafter, the restructured load demand model is considered, and optimal allocation for distributed generators (DGs) is percolated for minimizing the generation cost of the microgrid system in the second level. A recently developed hybrid swarm intelligence algorithm that has already been used in solving diverse power system optimization problems was used as the optimization tool for the study. The generation cost was minimized for different grid participation types and grid pricing strategies with and without consideration of DSM. The numerical results show a 55–75% reduction in generation cost when 20–30% DSM participation was considered. Graphical abstract Highlights i. The generation cost of an LV microgrid (MG) system was evaluated for diverse grid-dependent scenarios. ii. The impact of demand-side management on the performance of the MG system and generation costs was studied. Discussion The work described in this paper initially restructured the forecasted load demand for different DSM participation levels to reduce the peak demand and improve the load factor of the MG system. Thereafter, the generation costs were evaluated for diverse grid-dependent scenarios and compared for various load demand models obtained after DSM implementation.","PeriodicalId":44802,"journal":{"name":"MRS Energy & Sustainability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45489025","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}
