Hydrogen-rich syngas production from gasification of sewage sludge: Catalonia case (2024)

The continuous tightening of legislation regulating the agricultural usage of sewage sludge in the province of Catalonia (Spain) leads us to propose its gasification to produce hydrogen-rich syngas. A thermodynamic equilibrium model was developed using Aspen Plus® to simulate the air and steam gasification of sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment plant in Catalonia. The syngas generated is analyzed in terms of composition and lower heating value (LHV), as a function of equivalence ratio (ER)

Hydrogen-rich syngas production via catalytic gasification of sewage sludge and wheat straw using corn stalk char-supported catalysts (2020)

The co-gasification of wheat straw and wet sewage sludge for hydrogen-rich gas production was investigated in a fixed bed reactor with corn stalk char (CSC)-supported catalysts. The Ni/CSC, Ni-Fe/CSC, and Ni-Fe-La/CSC catalysts were characterized via ultimate analysis, X-ray fluorescence, thermogravimetric, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. A series of experiments were p

Antidiabetic and Toxicological Evaluation of Ostodes Pauciflora merr. Seed (kop nut) Oil, A Potential Functional Food Alternative (2025)

Background: Ostodes pauciflora Merr, an indigenous seed from Borneo, belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family, known for its pharmacological properties. While previous studies have explored its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, the seed's potential antidiabetic effects remain unexamined. This study investigates the toxicity and antidiabetic properties of O. pauciflora seed oil, focusing on its fatty acid extracts. Methods: The study employed both in vitro and in vivo approaches. Toxicity was

Experimental study on the mechanical behavior of bridge concrete pile caps under lateral seismic loading (2025)

AbstractThis paper investigates the mechanical behavior of bridge pile caps subjected to lateral seismic loading through loading tests and numerical analyses. Two pile cap specimens were designed with different pile layouts (2 × 2 and 2 × 3) to examine the influence of pile layout variation. Although both pile cap specimens failed in bending, the dominant bending cracks in specimen SV2 × 2 appeared in two directions. In contrast, the dominant bending cracks in specimen SV2 × 3 were observed only

Studies on needle punched nonwoven fabrics made from natural fiber blends for oil sorbent applications (2022)

Oil retention of needle punched nonwoven fabrics made from coarse cotton, fine cotton, jute, kapok and its blends were reported. Based on the previous research work, oil retention of nonwoven fabrics is highly influenced by fiber diameter, fabric porosity and oil properties. In this study blended needle punched nonwoven samples were produced using fibers with wide variation in fiber diameter. Coarse jute fiber was blended with fine fibers of cotton and kapok to improve structural stability afte
