Abstract
Black mass (BM) from spent alkaline Zn-MnO2 batteries was used for the first time as a Mn source in the preparation of Mn/TiO2 catalysts for low-temperature NH3-selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx. To recover Mn species and eliminate alkali and Zn species, BM powder underwent DI-water washing, followed by carbothermal reduction. The resulting slags were further dissolved in HNO3, loaded onto TiO2 particles with ball milling, and then subjected to calcination. Nearly 100% of Zn species were removed from the BM via carbothermal reduction at 950 °C for 4 h with 5.0 wt% activated carbon. The resulting catalyst, derived from the treated BM, achieved similar NOx conversion (97%) as the catalyst prepared using a reagent-grade Mn chemical at 160 °C but a higher NOx-to-N2 conversion rate at 78%. The promoted N2 selectivity was attributed to a high Mn4+/Ti ratio and the presence of impurities from BM, such as Fe3+ ions, which enhanced oxidation ability of the catalyst. Conversely, insufficient removal of Zn or carbon additives in the slags led to a decreased Mn concentration, an increased proportion of Mn2+/Mn3+ species, increased surface OH groups, and reduced oxidation ability on the surface, thus reducing NOx conversion and N2 selectivity.

Abstract
Electroplating sludge is a hazardous waste and its recycling is a hot topic. Electroplating sludge usually contains plenty of transition metals and multi-hetero atoms, which are potential resources. For the first time, this work synthesized spinel catalyst from Zn- and Cr-containing electroplating sludges by a simple calcination method, and applied the obtained catalysts in CH3OH production by CO2 catalytic hydrogenation. The spinel was doped by various heteroatoms, including Fe, Mn, Cu, and even S. According to detailed characterizations, the metal doping increased the low-temperature conversion efficiency of CO2 but decreased the CH3OH selectivity at the same time. After a further doping of S, although CO2 conversion efficiency was slightly decreased, the selectivity of CH3OH was significantly increased. After all, the optimized catalyst attained a conversion efficiency of 8.6% (CO2) as well as a selectivity of 73.3% (CH3OH) at 250 °C and 3 MPa. As a result, above results realized high-value-added utilization of hazardous waste and producing valuable product at the same time, which was in favor of circular development.

NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12071049. [PMID: 35407169 PMCID: PMC9000367 DOI: 10.3390/nano12071049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
In this article, motivated by novel nanofluid solar energy coating systems, a mathematical model of hybrid magnesium oxide (MgO) and nickel (Ni) nanofluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow impinging on a porous elastic stretching surface in a porous medium is developed. The hybrid nanofluid is electrically conducted, and a magnetic Reynolds number is sufficiently large enough to invoke an induced magnetic field. A Darcy model is adopted for the isotropic, homogenous porous medium. The boundary conditions account for the impacts of the velocity slip and thermal slip. Heat generation (source)/absorption (sink) and also viscous dissipation effects are included. The mathematical formulation has been performed with the help of similarity variables, and the resulting coupled nonlinear dimensionless ordinary differential equations have been solved numerically with the help of the shooting method. In order to test the validity of the current results and the convergence of the solutions, a numerical comparison with previously published results is included. Numerical results are plotted for the effect of emerging parameters on velocity, temperature, magnetic induction, skin friction, and Nusselt number. With an increment in nanoparticle volume fraction of both MgO and Ni nanoparticles, the temperature and thermal boundary layer thickness of the nanofluid are elevated. An increase in the porous medium parameter (Darcy number), velocity slip, and thermal Grashof number all enhance the induced magnetic field. Initial increments in the nanoparticle volume fraction for both MgO and Ni suppress the magnetic induction near the wall, although, subsequently, when further from the wall, this effect is reversed. Temperature is enhanced with heat generation, whereas it is depleted with heat absorption and thermal slip effects. Overall, excellent thermal enhancement is achieved by the hybrid nanofluid.

Abstract
Energy is a key attribute that is used to evaluate the economic development of any country. The demand for energy is going to rise in developing countries and will be 67% of global use by 2040. The energy surge in these rising economies will be responsible for 60-70% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. The quest for higher energy motivates technological development to curb the climate change occurring with GHG emissions. Carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Current work is intended to give an updated review on the different routes of carbon dioxide utilization that are catalytic route, photocatalytic route, electrocatalytic route, microwave plasma route, and biocatalytic route. These routes are capable of converting CO2 into different valuable products such as formic acid, methanol, and di-methyl ether (DME), which are majorly derived from biomass and/or fossil fuels (coal gasification and/or natural gas). This work investigates the effect of different routes available for the production of value-added products by CO2 reduction, discusses various challenges that come across the aforementioned routes, and shares views on future scope and research direction to pave new innovative ways of reducing CO2 from the environment.
