Abstract
Respirable fine-grained fly ash (RFA) is captured very inefficiently by existing air purification devices of power plant, leading to increasing concerns regarding their migration and subsequent interaction with body due to fine particle size and its complex toxic composition. Trace elements of RFA in three groups with five different sizes between 8-13 µm were analyzed in terms of available concentration, speciation and risk effects. The concentration, pollution level and ecological risk level of elements in RFA were related to particle sizes. Chronic non-carcinogenic effect risk (NER) and carcinogenic effect risk (CER) were negatively correlated with particle size. The individual weight of exposed subjects, corresponding trace elements concentration and ingestion rate in RFA were three significant variables influencing CER. NER and CER had a tenfold exaggerated effect when calculated using total element concentration of RFA. In addition to individual differences and exposure conditions, trace element properties, speciation and available concentration were the dominant factor responsible for ecological and environmental effects of trace elements in RFA, following the order As>Ni, Mn>Cr>Pb>Cu>Zn. Results of this work highlight the effects and differences of trace elements in RFA on ecology and health, and provide a basis for further pollution control and human health warning.

Control technologies to prevent aerosol-based disease transmission in animal agriculture production settings: a review of established and emerging approaches. Front Vet Sci 2023; 10:1291312. [PMID: 38033641 PMCID: PMC10682736 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1291312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Transmission of infectious agents via aerosols is an ever-present concern in animal agriculture production settings, as the aerosol route to disease transmission can lead to difficult-to-control and costly diseases, such as porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus and influenza A virus. It is increasingly necessary to implement control technologies to mitigate aerosol-based disease transmission. Here, we review currently utilized and prospective future aerosol control technologies to collect and potentially inactivate pathogens in aerosols, with an emphasis on technologies that can be incorporated into mechanically driven (forced air) ventilation systems to prevent aerosol-based disease spread from facility to facility. Broadly, we find that control technologies can be grouped into three categories: (1) currently implemented technologies; (2) scaled technologies used in industrial and medical settings; and (3) emerging technologies. Category (1) solely consists of fibrous filter media, which have been demonstrated to reduce the spread of PRRSV between swine production facilities. We review the mechanisms by which filters function and are rated (minimum efficiency reporting values). Category (2) consists of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), used industrially to collect aerosol particles in higher flow rate systems, and ultraviolet C (UV-C) systems, used in medical settings to inactivate pathogens. Finally, category (3) consists of a variety of technologies, including ionization-based systems, microwaves, and those generating reactive oxygen species, often with the goal of pathogen inactivation in aerosols. As such technologies are typically first tested through varied means at the laboratory scale, we additionally review control technology testing techniques at various stages of development, from laboratory studies to field demonstration, and in doing so, suggest uniform testing and report standards are needed. Testing standards should consider the cost-benefit of implementing the technologies applicable to the livestock species of interest. Finally, we examine economic models for implementing aerosol control technologies, defining the collected infectious particles per unit energy demand.

Abstract
Due to growing concern about air pollution and its harmful effects on the health of the population, especially in regard to sub-micrometric particles, some studies have reported that applying an electric field to particle suspensions can improve filter performance by enhancing the deposition of particles in the filter medium. This can result in better particulate retention, which is particularly important for industrial processes such as cement production. The objective of this study was to investigate the behavior of cement particles with electrostatic charges during cake formation in fabric filters. The particles (with a d50 % of 17 μm) were generated using a dust feeder at a flow rate of 0.083 kg s-1. The fiberglass filter medium was subjected to filtration tests with constant dust concentrations (9-12 g.m-³) and air surface velocities (6 cm.s-1and 10 cm s-1) until the pressure drop reached the maximum value of 400 Pa. The electrostatic precipitator utilized discharge voltages of 0, 4, 10, and 12 kV. The particles were initially passed through the electrostatic precipitator to become charged with voltages of 0, 4, 10, and 12 kV applied. The results indicated a reduction in pressure drop of up to 55 %. The study observed a change in the deposition behavior of particles on the filter medium surface and in the filter cake formation, demonstrating that the electrostatic charge improves air filtration performance, resulting in higher efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Development of an asymmetric composite PPS-based bag-filter material through membrane laminating and superfine fiber blending: Lab test, field application and development of numerical models. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132078.

Abstract
Dedusting is crucial for air pollution control, and nonwoven needle felt (NWNF) bag-filters are widely applied for this purpose. Surface treatment of the filter materials can enhance NWNF's performance, but the large discrepancy in pore size between the surface and NWNF layers causes interface effects, impairing reverse cleaning and shortening service life. In this study, a novel PTFE membrane-laminated asymmetrical composite bag-filter was developed, by blending superfine polyphenylene sulfide fiber (PPS) in the original NWNF structure. Image analysis shows a gradual increase in pore size from the surface to the downstream layer. In standard lab-scale tests, the novel M-PPSF-S filter showed moderately higher resistance, significantly longer service life, higher dedusting efficiencies and better cleaning performance, compared to filters without surface laminating and/or superfine fiber blending. Numerical modelling was performed, and the flow fields and pressure distribution in these filter materials were visualized, confirming that M-PPSF-S' unique structure facilitated the alleviation of interface effect and non-steady flow. M-PPSF-S was further scaled up to treat real flue gas from a coal-fired power plant, where constant good performance was observed over 5 months. This study offers a novel and practical way to develop low-cost, high-performance filter materials for high temperature flue gas treatment.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 886:163920. [PMID: 37156381 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
Biomass is a renewable and carbon-neutral resource with good features for producing biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. Among the different technologies developed to date to convert biomass into such commodities, hydrothermal conversion (HC) is a very appealing and sustainable option, affording marketable gaseous (primarily containing H2, CO, CH4, and CO2), liquid (biofuels, aqueous phase carbohydrates, and inorganics), and solid products (energy-dense biofuels (up to 30 MJ/kg) with excellent functionality and strength). Given these prospects, this publication first-time puts together essential information on the HC of lignocellulosic and algal biomasses covering all the steps involved. Particularly, this work reports and comments on the most important properties (e.g., physiochemical and fuel properties) of all these products from a holistic and practical perspective. It also gathers vital information addressing selecting and using different downstream/upgrading processes to convert HC reaction products into marketable biofuels (HHV up to 46 MJ/kg), biochemicals (yield >90 %), and biomaterials (great functionality and surface area up to 3600 m2/g). As a result of this practical vision, this work not only comments on and summarizes the most important properties of these products but also analyzes and discusses present and future applications, establishing an invaluable link between product properties and market needs to push HC technologies transition from the laboratory to the industry. Such a practical and pioneering approach paves the way for the future development, commercialization and industrialization of HC technologies to develop holistic and zero-waste biorefinery processes.

Abstract
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is the workhorse of modern crude oil refinery. Its regenerator plays a critical role in optimizing the overall profitability by efficiently restoring the catalyst activity and enhancing the heat balance in the riser reactor. Improvement in the device metallurgy and process operations have enabled industrial regenerators to operate at high temperatures with a better coke burning rate and longer operating cycle. Today, the carbon content of regenerated catalyst has drastically reduced to less than 0.1 wt.%. However, the unit is still plagued with operational complexities and insufficient understanding of the underlying dynamic, multiscale intricacies. Recent process-intensification strategies provide insights into regenerator performance improvement potentials. In this review, the importance of the uniform distribution of spent catalysts through structural modification and operational manipulations of the catalyst distributor is discussed. The knowledge of the role of baffles in enhancing excellent gas–solid interaction has been increasing, but skepticism due to its complex hydrodynamic effects on gas–solid flows fends off operators from its application, a critical evaluation of its implication in the regenerators is covered. The understanding of the contribution of air/steam distributor design and feed gas injection techniques for even contact with spent catalyst leading to the improvement in FCC performance is also investigated. The reliability of FCC components is equally a big concern, as unplanned shutdown and enormous economic losses are being witnessed due to device failure. To this end, mitigation approaches to damaging afterburn and high-temperature erosion problems with respect to process control and geometric adjustment in the bed, freeboard, cyclone separators and collection ducts are explored. Emission limits for fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) and products are consistently ratcheting downward; the commingled turnkey solutions to reducing pollutants generation are also reviewed.

Abstract
To improve the filtration efficiency of submicron dust by dual-layer granular bed filters, filtration experiments for micro-silica powder were conducted for removing particles smaller than 1 μm that account for more than 96% (by volume) using a dual-layer granular bed filter with an external electric field. Electrostatic enhancement methods, including dust pre-charging, application of an electric field to the lower filter layer, and that to both the upper and lower filter layers, were examined. Results showed that the average filtration efficiency of a dual-layer granular bed filter for micro-silica powder without electric field was 76.52%, the average outlet dust concentration was 263.53 mg/m3, and the filtration cycle time was 73 min. With pre-charged dust, the average outlet dust concentration dropped to 82.51 mg/m3. A decrease in the thickness of the lower filter layer from 45 to 25 mm with electric field reduced the pressure drop from 2570 to 1770 Pa. Meanwhile, the application of an electric field to the lower/upper filter layer reduced the average outlet dust concentration to 25.98 mg/m3. Increasing the initial face velocity from 0.25 to 0.45 m/s increased the average outlet dust concentration from 25.98 to 30.27 mg/m3 and increased the pressure drop from 2570 to 3500 Pa.

Abstract
This article reviews the production of renewable aviation fuels from biomass and residual wastes using gasification followed by syngas conditioning and Fischer-Tropsch catalytic synthesis. The challenges involved with gasifying wastes are discussed along with a summary of conventional and emerging gasification technologies. The techniques for conditioning syngas including removal of particulate matter, tars, sulphur, carbon dioxide, compounds of nitrogen, chlorine and alkali metals are reported. Recent developments in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, such as new catalyst formulations are described alongside reactor technologies for producing renewable aviation fuels. The energy efficiency and capital cost of converting biomass and residual wastes to aviation fuels are major barriers to widespread adoption. Therefore, further development of advanced technologies will be critical for the aviation industry to achieve their stated greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2050.

Abstract
It is of great significance to adopt a cost-effective and highly efficient method to capture submicron particles produced by small-scale industrial boilers. In this study, a middle-scale wet electrostatic scrubbing (WES) setup was built to investigate its performance in the removal of both fly ash particles and black carbon, with special attention to the submicron size range. Major factors including the particle properties and charging conditions were expatiated in detail to popularize this method. The results showed that the efficiency increase in black carbon is significantly higher than that of fly ash particles at the charging condition. For the case of droplet charging, the highest efficiency increase in black carbon in the submicron size range is up to 60%, while that of fly ash is only 40% under same conditions. In comparison with particle charging, droplet charging plays a more significant role in removing both fly ash particles and black carbon, which is beneficial for reforming conventional wet scrubbers. Moreover, more small particles could adhere to the surface of large fly ash particles after scavenging while this phenomenon was not found for black carbon due to the characteristic of fractal agglomerates. The efficiency increases of black carbon and fly ash upon the addition of an electric field to a wet scrubber were expatiated.![]()

Mn/Ce Oxides Decorated Polyphenylene Sulfide Needle-Punching Fibrous Felts for Dust Removal and Denitration Application. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12010168. [PMID: 31936469 PMCID: PMC7022841 DOI: 10.3390/polym12010168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 01/01/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Development of a novel filter material is urgently required for replacing the high-cost flue gas purification technology in the simultaneous removal of both fine dust and Nitrogen oxides (NOx). In this study; polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) needle-punching fibrous felts (NPFF) were employed as the filter material to remove the fine dust; and in the meanwhile; Mn and Ce oxides were loaded onto the PPS NPFF as the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3. Two different pretreatment methods; i.e., sodium alginate (SA) deposition and plasma treatment; were employed to modify the PPS NPFF before the traditional impregnation and thermal treatment processes during the catalyst loading. The results showed that these two pretreatment methods both afforded the PPS NPFF with the enhanced loading rate and stability of Mn/Ce oxides compared to those without any pretreatments; which were significantly beneficial for the denitration application. Moreover; we found that both SA deposition and plasma pre-treated samples presented excellent dust-removal properties; and the filtration efficiency could reach 100% when the particle size of the fine particulates was above 4 μm. This study demonstrated that our Mn/Ce oxides decorated PPS NPFF have great potential to be applied in the fuel gas purification field; due to their stable structure; handling convenience; and excellent filtration efficiency; as well as high denitration performance.
