Here, we first compared both systems in their cons and pros and analyzed the leading countries and companies in Li–S research are assessed through the utilization of an academic database. The scope of our research includes performance-enhancing design elements, cathode components, and binder materials. Synthetic and natural binders are trialed in an effort to enhance Li–S performance. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms enables the development of durable cathodes and binders. To overcome obstacles such as polysulfide adsorption, shuttle effect, and ion transport limitations, conducting polymers, metal/metal oxides, carbon-based compounds, MOFs, and Mxenes are investigated as potential cathode materials. In addition to pore characteristics and active polar sites, the efficacy of a battery is influenced by the anode surface geometry and heteroatom doping. Our review indicates that binders and sulfur/host composites must be meticulously chosen for Li–S battery cathode materials. This research advances energy storage technology by establishing the foundation for economically viable lithium–sulfur batteries with superior performance.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142123577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The encapsulation of mRNA using lipids is a self-organizing process that necessitates fast mixing to achieve uniform supersaturation. This is achieved in a confined impinging jet reactor (CIJR) where two input jets collide and fast mix in the mixing chamber. While CIJR is not a new mixing technology, it stands out for its capability to achieve mixing times below a millisecond. This study presents a critical review of major studies concerning CIJRs, starting with the CIJRs’ structures and flow characterization, through experimental and numerical studies, and closing with successful applications in a wide range of chemical/pharmaceutical processes. The detailed mixing principles, scaling-up, and mechanisms of making nanoparticles are discussed focusing mainly on the hydrodynamic aspect. The objective of the review is to supply essential information for the optimized design and operation of CIJRs, catering to both industry and academia.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141880337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several different technologies including adsorption, biological removal method, solvent extraction, coagulation, chemical reduction, photocatalysis and ion exchange method for removal of tetracyclines from wastewater have been reported. However, photocatalysis of tetracyclines (TC) has gained huge interest because of more efficient mineralization of TC into CO2 and water. Several different nanomaterial based photocatalytic assemblies for the removal of tetracyclines have been widely reported for the removal of tetracyclines which have not been critically reviewed in the literature. This study provides an overview of recent progress of classification, synthesis, characterizations, mechanism of inorganic and metal organic framework nanocatalytic assemblies on photocatalysis of tetracyclines in aquatic medium.

Dye-contaminated water sources can pose serious public health concerns, including toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity among other adverse health effects. Despite a limited understanding of efficacious decolorization methodologies, the pursuit of a sustainable strategy for the treatment of a wide spectrum of dyes remains a formidable challenge. This article conducted an exhaustive review of extant literature pertaining to diverse physical, chemical, biological, and hybrid processes with the aim of ascertaining their efficacy. It also elucidates the advantages and disadvantages, cost considerations, as well as scalability impediments of the treatment methodologies, thereby facilitating the identification of optimal strategies for establishing techno-economically efficient processes in the sustainable handling of these effluents. The hybrid configuration exhibited superior efficiency and was documented to surmount the limitations and constraints inherent to individual techniques. The study also revealed that most of the proven and established dye removal techniques share a common limitation viz., the generation of secondary pollution (i.e., sludge generation, toxic intermediates, etc.) to the ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140188789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With increasing agricultural production, the global demand for potassium is increasing, with India importing potassium from countries like Canada, USA, Israel, and Russia. Biomass-fired industries generate biomass ash as a residue so management of the resultant ash is important. Agricultural residue ashes contain abundant potassium so could potentially be used for fertilizer application. This review describes different potassium sources and recovery processes, including chemical precipitation, water extraction, solvent extraction, membrane separation, and ionic exchange. Extraction time, temperature, and solid to solvent ratio affect the recovery of potassium from biomass ash. Water extraction is the most commonly used method for potassium recovery from biomass ash. The environmental impact of potassium fertilizer recovered from biomass ash is less than that of mining source of potash. This paper discusses topics not covered in previous reviews, such as different biosources of potassium, latest recovery methods, and life cycle assessment of these methods. The gaps identified in the reports are addressed, and future research opportunities are presented.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140164527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper presents different aspects of metal adsorption from aqueous solutions on untreated eggshells. Pretreatment procedures and tested parameters for the adsorption differ significantly across all the reviewed data, providing a source of variance for the results. For untreated eggshells, the range of the reported BET surface area is from 0.07 m2/g to 8.941 m2/g. Correlation between particle size and BET surface area has been highlighted. Reported removal efficiencies for the untreated eggshell have been compared. Reported results show that eggshell is most employed for the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Eggshell capacity to remove metal ions from the main group elements has also been demonstrated. While results look promising, not enough data are present to make reliable conclusions about its efficiency with other (mainly transition) metal ions – which makes it a possible research direction. Based on the reported data, multiple removal pathways are involved. Several eggshell modification methods and possibilities of creating new adsorbents using eggshells only as a part of the raw material have been assessed. Finally reported eggshell modification methods have been assessed and it is clear that to compare different material’s effectiveness as an adsorbent, comparing only materials adsorption capacities is insufficient. Certain environmental water pollution removal studies using adsorption demand further study, such as metal ion specification in aqueous solution, in different processing water, and even in wastewater.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140135942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
