Carbon dioxide emission is a serious environmental issue that humankind must face soon. One of the promising technologies for reducing global CO2 emissions oxy-fuel combustion (OFC) technology, which belongs to carbon capture methods. OFC involves use oxygen and recirculated flue gas as an oxidizer in process. Application waste incineration can result negative since some part municipal solid biogenic. Such technology often described BECCS or Bio-CCS it has attracted attention scientists...

This work is concerned with domestic boilers burning solid fuels. Time-dependent coal combustion in the counter-current fixed-bed has been investigated using both measurements and mathematical modeling. Three-dimensional, time-dependent model of developed as a submodel to computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based whole boiler. The overall 0.0177 kg/(m2 s) 0.0266 rates have observed for air velocities 0.17 m/s 0.26 m/s, respectively. Two temperature peaks observed: one propagating downward bed...

We present a highly-detailed discussion on the pore development in sewage sludge char to better understand its transformation and subsequent role volatiles reforming. Interactions with pyrolytic gas can change porosity of biochar that subsequently participates reforming, thus affecting product yield quality. The results demonstrated H2O activation was more susceptible catalytic effects inorganics, pointing out selective nature CO2. Interestingly, we found important difference between ultra-...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused huge health and economic damages. Various protective face masks, such as single-use, cotton, the most widespread FFP2 or KN95 are used to prevent spread of this virus. However, these masks usually packaged in plastic packaging, which increases amount waste. Plastic gloves also often connection pandemic. All leads a large production equipment, but their use contributes increase type waste, presents new challenge waste management. This article investigates...

The research is aimed at investigating ammonia in a compression ignition internal combustion engine as promising alternative fuel towards decarbonization. This study presents energy and exergy assessments of low-power for three cases supply, diesel oil, biodiesel with pilot across the entire engine’s range. While or was administered directly into cylinder, delivered through port injection. results show that maximum thermal efficiency 33.56% 31.88% were found 1800 rpm 71% load system. For...
