Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
The ignition and combustion of particle clouds are strongly affected by particle interactions. This study uses spectroscopy to examine effects of particle size, water content, and cloud density. Results show ignition delay rises with larger size and density, whereas combustion duration depends mainly on water and density due to moisture‐driven ...

Thermal Degradation of PFAS in Different Scales: Measurement of Hydrogen Fluoride (HF)

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
The communication article is about the challenges to balance a combustor in the case of fluorine when incinerating PFAS containing materials. Several analytical methods are compared: for continuous measurement, FTIR with TDLS. The detected fluorine species are further compared with results upon IC and pyrohydrolysis for discontinuous measurements in ...

Selective Non‐Catalytic Reduction of NOx in the Exhaust Gas of Small Wood Gasification Boilers

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Kinetic studies of the SNCR reaction were conducted to investigate NOx reduction in the exhaust gas of small‐scale wood gasification boilers. Both the experimental results and the derived global kinetic model indicate that SNCR can achieve a significant reduction in NOx emissions under typical operating conditions. ABSTRACT The gas‐phase reaction of NO

Random forest regression for catalyst performance prediction and validation of tri‐reforming of methane (TRM)

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbon dioxide‐reduced hydrogen can be synthesized through various methods such as dry‐reforming (DRM), steam reforming (SMR), and partial oxidation (POX). Tri‐reforming of methane (TRM) is a promising technology which combines all the above‐mentioned processes for the simultaneous production of hydrogen and syngas with high energy efficiency.

Greenwashing in the Spotlight: Synthesising Evidence on Unethical Environmental Claims and Future Pathways

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are experiencing mounting pressure to report their environmental impact. Rather than disclosing their actual performance, however, some are engaging in unethical business (i.e., greenwashing) practices. Prior studies have contributed significantly to the greenwashing literature from varied perspectives, but a comprehensive understanding ...
