Identification of Main Reaction Path of Soot Formation from Primary Pyrolysis Products in Coal Gasification

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Engineering of Japan
In coal gasification, soot forms from volatile matter (VM) and it influences the gasification efficiency. Recently, biomass or plastic wastes with higher VM than coal are used for gasification processes and the importance of soot is increasing.

Mechanism of pyrocarbon formation on the soot surface

open access: yesТонкие химические технологии, 2013
In the article a mechanism of pyrocarbon formation on the soot surface by the decomposition of hydrocarbon gases is suggested. The mechanism involves the formation of decomposition products in the gas phase and their adsorption on the active centers of ...

Experimental Analysis of Combustion and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine Using Diesel-Biodiesel-Methanol Blends With Cetane Enhancer Additive Under Pilot Injection Mode. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chall
The work represented in the manuscript is based on resolving the major issue of increased smoke emissions under pilot injection mode while maintaining the core benfits of it, that is, lower nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and improved fuel economy. This was achieved by inclusion of methanol and cetane enhancer (CE) in the base fuel.

The Price Gap in Agriculture‐Based Greenhouse Gas Offset Markets

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Today, there is a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions (GHGNE). For economic well‐being, it is important to identify low‐cost means of net emission offsets. Agriculture and forestry have received considerable attention as a means of supplying emissions offsets, as they contribute nearly 20% of global emissions.

Chinese Pangolin Changes Local Vertebrate Assemblages and Contributes to Their Interspecific Interactions by Burrowing and Revisitation

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...

Norwegian Blues? Rethinking the Idea of Middle Powers in an Era of Fuzzy Bifurcation

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unsuccessful efforts to update the middle power concept for the contemporary international system have prompted calls for the concept to be “historicized”—to be retired from common use and treated as a purely historical term. The problem with this proposal is that “middle power” has become increasingly popular in the 2020s in analysis ...
