Pakistan is a developing economy with mainstay shifting gradually from agriculture to industry. Improving lifestyles, population growth, and rapid urbanization have led continuous increase in the demand of energy. The demand-supply gap amounts 5000 MW on average which reaches 7000 month July when energy at peak. This shortfall causes 4%–7% loss gross domestic product. Energy constant peak 8%–10% per annum. Fossil fuels make 61% mix, while share renewables less than 1%. situation calls for...

ABSTRACT The deactivation of V 2 O 5 ‐WO 3 /TiO (V‐W/TiO ) catalysts in NH ‐selective catalytic reduction (SCR) due to potassium (K) species from coal‐fired power plant emissions has garnered significant attention, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study explores these by introducing K poisoning through incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) and solid‐state diffusion methods. Comprehensive analyses, including characterization techniques density functional theory (DFT)...

Low rank coals are often characterized by high amounts of ash forming and sulfur-bearing minerals, poor liberation characteristics, difficult washability properties. Low-rank coal Punjab (Pakistan) inherits all these attributes. In this study, the run-of-mine sample was crushed down to 9 mm sieved into six fractions. Coarser fractions were float-sink test ultrafine fraction (−0.25 mm) release analysis. Laboratory-scale shaking table tests performed on coarser evaluate effects tilt water...
