  • Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass in the Presence of Molten Alkali-Metal Carbonates Under Reducing Environments of N2 and CO2
    energies Article Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass in the Presence of Molten Alkali-Metal Carbonates under Reducing Environments of N2 and CO2 Tahereh Jalalabadi, Behdad Moghtaderi and Jessica Allen * School of Chemical Engineering, University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW 2308, Australia; [email protected] (T.J.); [email protected] (B.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +612-40-339-359 Received: 15 September 2020; Accepted: 12 October 2020; Published: 15 October 2020 Abstract: The impact of N2 and CO2 atmospheres on the interaction between Eucalyptus pilularis biomass and a ternary molten carbonate eutectic (Li2CO3: Na2CO3:K2CO3) has been investigated at 600 ◦C and 900 ◦C. For lower temperature conversion under CO2, prevention of volatile release in the eutectic treated biomass is slightly higher than under N2 injection; however, similar bubble-shaped morphology of the remnant char is observed under both carrier gases. By increasing the temperature to 900 ◦C under CO2, the reverse Boudouard reaction begins to consume carbon fuel, while molten carbonate gasification also accelerates the reaction to a lower temperature set point (shifted from ~735 ◦C to ~640 ◦C). The mass loss of carbonate under CO2 and N2 at 900 ◦C is 0 (negligible) and 18 wt.%, respectively. In the absence of carbon particles, the decomposition of carbonate to M2O (l) and CO2 (g), as well as molten salt vaporization, are the sole potential routes of weight loss in an inert gas. Previous observations of biomass and eutectic mixture thermochemical conversion under N2 have suggested carbon/carbonate gasification is dominant at elevated temperatures, with production of CO expected.

The chemical characteristics, thermodynamic properties, and epitaxial film growth of isotetrasilane are compared with those of other perhydridosi- lanes. A film-growth mechanism distinct from linear perhy- ≤ dridosilanes H(SiH2)nH, where n 4, is reported. Preliminary findings are summarized for CVD of both unstrained e-Si and strained e-Si doped with germanium (Ge) and carbon (C) employing isotetrasilane as the source precursor at temper- atures of 500−550 °C. The results suggest that bis- (trihydridosilyl)silylene is the likely deposition intermediate under processing conditions in which gas-phase depletion reactions are not observed. ■ INTRODUCTION such as trisilane.

  • Hydraulics Manual Glossary G - 3
    Glossary G - 1 GLOSSARY OF HIGHWAY-RELATED DRAINAGE TERMS (Reprinted from the 1999 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Model Drainage Manual) G.1 Introduction This Glossary is divided into three parts: · Introduction, · Glossary, and · References. It is not intended that all the terms in this Glossary be rigorously accurate or complete. Realistically, this is impossible. Depending on the circumstance, a particular term may have several meanings; this can never change. The primary purpose of this Glossary is to define the terms found in the Highway Drainage Guidelines and Model Drainage Manual in a manner that makes them easier to interpret and understand. A lesser purpose is to provide a compendium of terms that will be useful for both the novice as well as the more experienced hydraulics engineer. This Glossary may also help those who are unfamiliar with highway drainage design to become more understanding and appreciative of this complex science as well as facilitate communication between the highway hydraulics engineer and others. Where readily available, the source of a definition has been referenced. For clarity or format purposes, cited definitions may have some additional verbiage contained in double brackets [ ]. Conversely, three “dots” (...) are used to indicate where some parts of a cited definition were eliminated. Also, as might be expected, different sources were found to use different hyphenation and terminology practices for the same words. Insignificant changes in this regard were made to some cited references and elsewhere to gain uniformity for the terms contained in this Glossary: as an example, “groundwater” vice “ground-water” or “ground water,” and “cross section area” vice “cross-sectional area.” Cited definitions were taken primarily from two sources: W.B.

  • Performance Asymmetric Supercapacitors Stack Based on Nickel Hexacyanoferrate-Derived Ni(OH)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fabrication of 9.6 V High- performance Asymmetric Supercapacitors Stack Based on Received: 17 August 2018 Accepted: 10 December 2018 Nickel Hexacyanoferrate-derived Published: xx xx xxxx Ni(OH)2 Nanosheets and Bio- derived Activated Carbon Subramani Kaipannan1,2 & Sathish Marappan1,2 Hydrated Ni(OH)2 and activated carbon based electrodes are widely used in electrochemical applications. Here we report the fabrication of symmetric supercapacitors using Ni(OH)2 nanosheets and activated carbon as positive and negative electrodes in aqueous electrolyte, respectively. The asymmetric supercapacitors stack connected in series exhibited a stable device voltage of 9.6 V and delivered a stored high energy and power of 30 mWh and 1632 mW, respectively. The fabricated device shows an excellent electrochemical stability and high retention of 81% initial capacitance after 100,000 charge-discharges cycling at high charging current of 500 mA. The positive electrode material Ni(OH)2 nanosheets was prepared through chemical decomposition of nickel hexacyanoferrate complex. The XRD pattern revealed the high crystalline nature of Ni(OH)2 with an average crystallite size of ~10 nm. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets indicate the formation of mesoporous Ni(OH)2 nanosheets. The chemical synthesis of Ni(OH)2 results the formation of hierarchical nanosheets that are randomly oriented which was confrmed by FE-SEM and HR-TEM analysis. The negative electrode, activated porous carbon (OPAA-700) was obtained from orange peel waste. The electrochemical properties of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets and OPAA-700 were studied and exhibit a high specifc capacity of 1126 C/g and high specifc capacitance of 311 F/g at current density of 2 A/g, respectively.

The resulting dioxide (CO2) storage: (i) the fixation of CO2 in the form of carbonated solids must be stored at an environmentally suitable inorganic carbonates, also known as ‘mineral carbonation’ or location.
