A retrofitted stage-wise superstructure and a parallelized random walk algorithm with compulsive evolution (RWCE) are adopted. An iterative calculation method is designed to satisfy the requirements of multi-component mass transfer, with a relaxation for the outlet composition of the lean streams. The parametric analysis shows that the relaxation coefficient plays a major role in driving the convergence of the method. To improve the robustness of the established model, an adaptive relaxation coefficient strategy is implemented for multi-component MENS problems. In a divergence situation, the outlet concentration of the lean stream can be adjusted automatically by a random relaxation coefficient. Finally, three industrial MENS examples are considered in this work, whose total annual cost (TAC) are reduced by 7179, 2212, and 551 $·year<sup>−1</sup>. The corresponding optimization times are obtained to be 336, 125, and 145 s. The results indicate improvements in the economy and time, demonstrating that the parallelized RWCE can yield an optimal TAC and optimization efficiency compared to previous results. Overall, the adaptive relaxation coefficient strategy enhances the convergence for multi-component MENS problems.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":571,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142994562","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}

This study discusses hydrochar coal-water slurry (HC-CWS) preparation conditions, emphasizing apparent viscosity and exploring the influence of high ash content on char reactivity. The study highlights that the presence of free water in sludge is moderately influential, while high amounts of free water in raw sewage sludge (SS) and its near absence during hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of SS are both unfavorable for enhancing the overall performance of coal-water slurry (CWS). HTC reduces the concentration of hydroxyl functional group, enhancing slurry performance and reducing ash content in HC-CWS, indicating that coal complements hydrochar (HC). High-temperature HC preparation is unsuitable for HC-CWS due to increased viscosity and decreased stability. In terms of ash content, the optimal pH and HC ratio for CWS are determined at 30% HC. The gasification reactivity of HC, prepared at 180 °C with a 30% HC ratio in CWS at <i>R</i><sub>0.5</sub> is 6 × 10<sup>−3</sup> and at <i>R</i><sub>0.9</sub> is 9 × 10<sup>−3</sup>. However, increasing HC to 50% diminishes reactivity under CO<sub>2</sub> atmosphere. The inhibitory effect was observed with an increasing percentage of HC in CWS and the synergy factor decreased in the following order: 10% HC > 30% HC > 50% HC, i.e., from 1.04 to 0.35.

The structure-performance relationship of these adsorbents in DAC was investigated, revealing that the quantity of active amine sites (or the tetraethylenepentamine content in the exposed layer), as determined by CO<sub>2</sub>-TPD measurement, was an important factor affecting the adsorbent performance. This factor, which varied with the tetraethylenepentamine content, additive type, and additive content, showed a positive correlation with the CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption capacity of the adsorbents.

In this work, we use the Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model with the kinetic theory of granular flow to perform numerical simulations of solids mixing and heat transfer in bubbling fluidized beds. We extract the lateral solids dispersion coefficient using four different methods: by fitting the transient response of the bed to (1) an ideal heat or (2) mass transfer problem, (3) by extracting the time-averaged heat transfer behavior and (4) through a momentum transfer approach in an analogy with single-phase turbulence. The method (2) fitting against a mass transfer problem is found to produce robust results at a reasonable computational cost when assessed against experiments. Furthermore, the gas inlet boundary condition is shown to have a significant effect on the prediction, indicating a need to account for nozzle characteristics when simulating industrial cases.\u0000</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":571,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering","volume":"18 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11705-024-2503-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142412716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
