Abstract
Direct application of high-sulfur fuels and ores can cause environmental pollution (such as air pollution and acid rain) and, in serious cases, endanger human health and contribute to property damage. In the background of preserving the environment, microbial desulfurization technologies for high-sulfur fuels and ores are rapidly developed. This paper aims to reveal the progress of microbial desulfurization research on fuels and ores using bibliometric analysis. 910 publications on microbial desulfurization of fuels and ores from web core databases were collected in this work, spanning 39 years. Through 910 retrieved documents, collaborative networks of authors, institutions and countries were mapped by this work, the sources of highly cited articles and cited documents were statistically analyzed, and keyword development from different perspectives was discussed. The results of the study provide a reference for microbial desulfurization research and benefit environmental protection and energy green applications.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 437:129414. [PMID: 35897187 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Gas-phase desulfurization on carbon materials is an important process attracting the attention of scientists and engineers. When involving physical adsorption, reactive adsorption and catalytic oxidation combined, the process is considered as energy-efficient. Recent developments in materials science directed the attention of researchers to inorganic phases which react with H2S and participate to its oxidation to elemental sulfur. To fully utilize their capability, a developed surface area is needed and this feature is delivered by carbons. This review presents examples of recent advances in this field with focus not only on the activity of inorganic phases, dispersed on the surface or introduced as nanoparticles, but also on the important contribution of a carbon support as providing specific synergistic effects. The active phase promotes the H2S oxidation and participates in the reactions with H2S, while the carbon phase ensures its high dispersion, adds to oxygen activation and to an efficient electron transfer.

[PMID: 34843834 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.133105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Odor pollution caused by toxic chemicals with low human olfactory thresholds, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), has become a major cause of environmental grievance world-wide. Although the low-temperature (<180 °C) catalytic oxidation of H2S using metal oxides has received widespread attention, desulfurization performance is not ideal. Herein, a series of Zn-Cu/Al2O3 catalysts were developed using an impregnation method based on the Al2O3 hydrophilicity and the effects of zinc loading on the catalyst physicochemical properties and performance were systematically studied. The catalysts were characterized using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). It was found that optimization of zinc doping could improve the hydrophilicity of the catalyst, and hence its activity. Catalytic activity was also dependent on operational parameters such as temperature, humidity and space velocity. The Zn3Cu3 catalyst exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity of 353.91 mg/g at 50 °C and at a relative humidity of 50%. The excellent desulfurization performance was attributed to oxygen vacancies contributed by CuO, Cu2O and ZnO, which facilitated the conversion of H2O into hydroxyl radicals. Consequently, a hydroxyl radical-induced desulfurization mechanism over Zn-Cu/Al2O3 is proposed. This work provides a potential green and efficient catalyst for the selective oxidation of H2S.

Abstract
Activated carbon has been extensively utilized to adsorb pollutants generated by industrial activities. There have been many attempts to efficiently produce activated carbon from spent coffee grounds in the field of environmental technology. In this study, the feasibility of the novel production of activated carbon from coffee ground waste using a plasma jet was evaluated. A rotating gliding arc generator was designed that used an N2 plasma jet for the carbonization process and a CO2 plasma jet for the activation process. It was confirmed that the coffee ground waste could be carbonized and activated by the two plasma jets in the same reactor. The characteristics of the surface morphologies of the activated carbon samples varied depending on the plasma treatment conditions, such as the electric power of the plasma jet and the treatment time. The results implied that the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon could be optimized by regulating the pore size and distribution based on the plasma treatment conditions with regard to the molecular size of the target adsorbate.
