Reverse water-gas shift: Na doping of m-ZrO 2 supported Pt for selectivity control

Reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) is a vital step in producing syngas for the chemical conversion of CO 2 to liquid transportation fuels and chemicals. Na-doping of m-ZrO 2 supported Pt catalysts allowed selectivity control by systematically increasing the ratio of relative rates of r CO /r CH4 . This was achieved by facilitating the formation of formate intermediate species, which precedes CO formation, and by suppressing the metallic Pt 0 active sites responsible for CH 4 formation. Here, a 2.5%Na-2%Pt/m-ZrO 2 catalyst was first tested for the forward water-gas shift (FWGS) reaction and found to have 50% higher CO conversion at 285°C compared to the undoped catalyst. Results of DRIFTS spectroscopy of adsorbed CO confirmed a formate ν(CH) band shift to lower wavenumbers (2870–2802 cm —1 ) with the addition of Na and more rapid forward formate decomposition in steam to H 2 and carbonate species, the precursor to CO 2 . This is consistent with C-H bond breaking being the rate limiting step of a FWGS mechanism occurring at the metal-support junction. Consistent with this, DRIFTS of RWGS in 4%CO 2 + 60%H 2 showed more facile formation of formate for the Na-doped catalyst and, once again, the ν(CH) band was shifted to lower wavenumbers (2874–2803 cm —1 ) with Na-doping. In addition, Na doping resulted in a systematic decrease in the Pt-carbonyl band in DRIFTS of adsorbed CO as well as DRIFTS of in-situ RWGS reaction tests, suggesting that Na blocked a fraction of on-top Pt sites, breaking up ensembles of Pt 0 responsible for methanation. The selectivity of the 2.5%Na-doped catalyst, unlike its undoped counterpart, was remarkably resistant to methanation (e.g., selectivity < 0.2% CH 4 with pressures of up to 20 bar).

O 2 dosage as a descriptor of TWC performance under lean/rich dithering in stoichiometric natural gas engines

The effects of oscillations in gas composition, known as lean/rich dithering, on the performance of a commercial Pd-based three-way catalyst (TWC) for stoichiometric natural gas (NG) engines were evaluated using synthetic exhaust flow reactor experiments. Under simulated NG exhaust conditions, NO conversion was intimately correlated to CH 4 conversion at slightly fuel-rich operating conditions. CH 4 conversion significantly varied with lambda (or O 2 concentration) and depended on the direction of the lambda change. The dynamic CH 4 conversion is likely related to the change of catalyst oxidation state and structures of Pd active sites. The CH 4 -NO cross-over point was found at a rich-biased lambda rather than stoichiometry. Compared to static operation, catalyst performance was much higher under a realistic dithering condition. The impacts of dithering parameters including amplitude and frequency on CH 4 and NO conversions were explored. O 2 dosage is proposed as an effective descriptor of the TWC dithering performance. In the O 2 -dosage space, the performance of distinct dithering parameters collapse, helping to elucidate the fundamental influence of dithering parameters on TWC performance. With the help of O2 dosage, an optimal operating window leading to high CH 4 and NO conversions was identified. A higher dithering amplitude is required to keep the catalyst in a reduced state for higher CH 4 and NO conversions, while an appropriate O 2 dosage that does not exceed the breakthrough OSC is necessary to avoid excess O 2 that results in NO slip. The dithering amplitude and O 2 -dosage-metric maps provide a new method for studying dynamic TWC performance and identifying optimum operation strategies.

Model quantification of the effect of coproducts and refinery co-hydrotreating on the economics and greenhouse gas emissions of a conceptual biomass catalytic fast pyrolysis process

Here we present model results for a scaled-up conceptual process informed by bench scale biomass catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) and hydrotreating experimental data. This process uses a Pt/TiO 2 catalyst during CFP, which produces a partially deoxygenated organic biocrude intermediate that is then hydroprocessed to a hydrocarbon fuel blendstock; the catalyst also enables high yields of acetone and methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) coproducts. Two options for hydroprocessing were modeled: (A) co-hydrotreating at a petroleum refinery using hydrogen sourced from steam reforming of natural gas and (B) standalone hydrotreating at a biorefinery using hydrogen sourced from CFP off gases. The results revealed that Case A was economically advantageous with a modeled minimum fuel selling price (MFSP) of $\$$2.83/GGE or gallon gasoline equivalent (in 2016 US dollars), while the additional cost of standalone hydrotreating facilities in Case B increased the MFSP to $3.13/GGE. Conversely, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were lower for Case B (3.9 g CO 2 e/MJ) compared to Case A (21.5 g CO 2 e/MJ) due to the use of biogenic (Case B) and fossil-derived (Case A) hydrogen. In a third option (Case C), the requirements for separation and purification of acetone and MEK were removed from the refinery co-processing scenario (Case A) to evaluate the impacts of this process simplification. Elimination of these coproducts increased the MFSP to $3.21/GGE and GHG emissions to 35 g CO 2 e/MJ. These comparisons based on our detailed conceptual models provide economic and sustainability guidance regarding processing choices for future biorefineries. While refinery coprocessing using existing equipment and the production of relatively valuable coproducts can benefit the economics, the hydrogen-source and biogenic coproducts can have significant impacts on the sustainability of the process, and feasibility to use CFP off-gases or other renewable sources for hydrogen production can help lower GHG emissions.

Intra-catalyst CH 4 oxidation pathways on a Pd/Al 2 O 3 /CeZrO x -based commercial catalyst and implications on NO x conversion profiles for a natural gas vehicle exhaust under lambda modulation

The performance of a three-way catalyst (TWC) in natural gas-powered vehicles is enhanced by periodic changes in air-to-fuel ratio (λ-modulation). The reaction networks and sequences inside the catalyst that facilitate such enhanced performance have not been extensively investigated. Here, this work applied intra-catalyst measurements (SpaciMS) to analyze the transient spatiotemporal gas concentrations inside a Pd-based TWC to establish relationships between CH 4 , NO x , CO and H 2 conversion pathways. Steam reforming and partial oxidation were revealed to be the main CH 4 conversion routes. The cyclic rich-lean conditions combined with the oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of the TWC generate reduced and oxidized zones that are constantly moving within the catalyst, changing the dominant chemical reactions occurring on the surface. In the reduced zones, OSC is depleted while CH 4 is converted through steam reforming and NO x is converted through reactions with H 2 , CO, and other surface-bound reducing fragments formed by CH 4 conversion. In the oxidized zones, OSC is replenished, CH 4 is converted by partial oxidation, and H 2 , CO, and NH 3 are oxidized. The length of lean-rich phases impacts the catalyst performance significantly; too short or too long of a rich or lean phase can lower the overall conversion of reactive species. An inhibition of CH 4 conversion was observed during the rich phase possibly due to CO-poisoning of active sites. The intra-catalyst measurements revealed that the catalyst consists of three distinct reaction zones and their lengths vary with modulation conditions. Various modulation frequencies, amplitudes, λ-centers, and temperatures were investigated which allowed an understanding of how these parameters affect the reaction zones and catalyst utilization. Understandings from this work can enable adaptive λ-control strategies to optimize the overall TWC performance over a range of vehicle operating conditions.

Gas-solid reaction-based selective lithium leaching strategy for efficient LiFePO 4 recycling

As the electric-vehicle market continues to expand, LiFePO 4 (LFP) batteries, valued for their intrinsic safety and cost-effectiveness, are being increasingly utilized. However, this widespread adoption highlights the urgent need for innovative and environmentally friendly recycling methods for spent LFP batteries due to their relatively low material value and the environmental challenges associated with traditional recycling processes. Here, in this study, we present a novel selective lithium leaching technique that involves a gas–solid reaction with chlorine gas. This method achieves a remarkable leaching efficiency of 99.8 % and a selectivity of 98.8 % at 200 °C within just 10 min, without generating acidic wastewater. The resulting LiCl solution was successfully converted into Li 2 CO 3 with an excellent purity of 99.5 %, while producing NaCl solution as the only byproduct. Notably, the olivine structure of the LFP was preserved as FePO 4 after lithium leaching. The regenerated LFP demonstrated excellent performance, retaining 94.1 % of its capacity after 150 cycles, while the lithium-leached FePO 4 delivered a reversible capacity exceeding 150 mAh/g. This approach not only enhances the efficiency of LFP recycling but also paves the way for more sustainable battery technologies.

Thermodynamic modeling of countercurrent chemical looping reverse water gas shift process for redox material screening

The reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a key pathway for CO 2 utilization, particularly within Power-to-X process chains aimed at sustainable fuel and chemical production. Countercurrent chemical looping (CL-RWGS) using non-stoichiometric oxides can overcome equilibrium limitations of conventional RWGS reactors, enabling significantly higher CO 2 conversions. However, modeling the limiting performance of such systems is challenging due to their multiphase nature and coupled spatial and temporal variation in chemical composition. In this work, we present a discretized batch equilibrium model that simulates CL-RWGS reactors as a series of localized equilibrium exchanges between gas and solid elements. The model is numerically stable, computationally efficient, and free of kinetic source terms, making it well-suited for parametric studies and system-level integration. It is validated against established convection–diffusion models and shown to predict reasonable upper bounds on experimental results. Application of the model to a range of oxygen carrier materials identifies cerium–zirconium solid solutions, particularly Ce 0.80 Zr 0.20 O 2 , as a promising class offering superior oxygen storage characteristics compared to state-of-the-art La 0.6 Sr 0.4 FeO 3 . This framework provides a robust platform for materials screening, reactor sizing, and performance optimization in chemical looping systems. The model implementation is available as open-source software to support further research and development.

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography under low-pressure conditions

The analysis of thermally labile and high-boiling point compounds by gas chromatography (GC) can be a challenge. One technique to overcome these challenges is low-pressure GC, which uses the vacuum produced from the mass spectrometer and wide-bore columns to elute compounds at significantly lower temperatures. While GC-MS is a powerful technique, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC), allows for resolution of compounds that would typically coelute using GC. Here, in this study, a pesticide standard mixture (8270 MegaMix Standard) was analyzed using a conventional GC × GC-TOFMS configuration (0.25 mm inner diameter (i.d.) to a 0.18 mm i.d. column) and low-pressure GC × GC-TOFMS configuration (0.53 mm i.d. to a 0.53 mm i.d. column). Elution temperatures, sensitivity, and peak capacity were investigated for both configurations. Compounds eluted an average of 30 °C less on the low-pressure GC × GC-TOFMS configuration compared to the conventional GC × GC-TOFMS configuration. Moreover, the compounds were separated in ~13 min on the low-pressure GC × GC-TOFMS as opposed to 33 min for conventional GC × GC-TOFMS. However, due to the wide-bore columns and faster runtimes the low-pressure GC × GC-TOFMS had a lower, β corrected 2D peak capacity, n c,β,2D , of 1260 while the conventional GC × GC-TOFMS was 3588. Interestingly, both configurations yielded a similar peak capacity production of 93 peaks/min and 107 peaks/min for low-pressure and conventional GC × GC-TOFMS, respectively. A “real world” sample of diesel fuel was tested on the low-pressure and conventional GC × GC-TOFMS configurations and similar results were obtained compared to the pesticide standard mix except the peak capacity production of the low-pressure GC × GC-TOFMS configuration was higher than that of the conventional GC × GC-TOFMS method.

Fundamental insights on ignition and combustion of natural gas in an active fueled pre-chamber spark-ignition system

Pre-chamber spark-ignition (PCSI), either fueled or non-fueled, is a leading concept with the potential to enable diesel-like efficiency in medium-duty (MD) and heavy-duty (HD) natural gas (NG) engines. However, the inadequate scientific base and simulation tools to describe/predict the underlying processes governing PCSI systems is one of the key barriers to market penetration of PCSI for MD/HD NG engines. To this end, experiments were performed in a heavy-duty, optical, single-cylinder engine fitted with an active fueled PCSI module. Furthermore, the spatial and temporal progress of ignition and subsequent combustion of lean-burn natural gas using PCSI system were studied using optical diagnostic imaging and heat release analysis based on main-chamber and pre-chamber pressure measurements.

Upstream considerations for gas fermentation processes

Gas fermentation enables the production of fuels, chemicals, and foods from gaseous carbon sources and could serve as a technology for valorizing carbon that may otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere. In this review, we focus on upstream feedstock considerations: the supply of carbon and the supply of electrical power. Electrical power serves a dual role, providing both process energy and biochemical redox potential (via hydrogen or reduced intermediates). We define gas fermentation as bioprocesses involving gaseous feedstocks metabolized by microbes, distinct from microbial electrosynthesis. Trends in CO 2 point sources and low-carbon electricity systems are analyzed, highlighting opportunities and challenges for future deployment. This review synthesizes current knowledge and identifies key R&D priorities for process integration at industrial scale.

Understanding Gas Absorption in Multivalent Ionic Liquids via Solute-Solvent Interaction Analyses

Solute-solvent interactions are often evaluated to understand and explain gas solubilities. This information is regularly used to interpret gas solubility and separation within ionic liquids (ILs). Here, we use several different quantum chemical and previous molecular dynamics simulation results to show that strong solute-solvent interactions neither lead to high solubility nor to high selectivity, with respect to other solutes. Instead, the solute-solvent interaction strength with different isolated IL ions is affected by the electrostatic extremes. Also, the solute-solvent interaction with different IL molecules is strongly correlated to the molecular volumes or polarizabilities (within a series of same-anion based ILs).

Conformational diversity of 1-phenylpiperidin-4-one in the gas phase

Conformational preferences of substituted, saturated cyclic ketones may deviate from those of their parent analogues. 1-Phenylpiperidin-4-one was found to exist in several forms differing by not only position (axial or equatorial) of the aryl-substituent but also by a configuration of the piperidine cycle itself: chair-Eq, chair-Ax and twist-Tw. Here, the ratios of the co-existing species contributions in gas phase predicted by various quantum chemical calculations were confirmed by synchronous gas-phase electron diffraction and mass spectrometric experiments carried out for the vapor at 337 K demonstrating a best fit with the B3LYP-D3/cc-pVTZ combination: Eq:Ax:Tw=55(13):22(9):23(10) vs. 40:35:25.

Comparative techno-economic analysis of synthetic renewable natural gas production via reactive CO 2 capture and conversion

Reactive CO 2 capture and conversion (RCC) is an emerging carbon management strategy that integrates CO 2 capture and conversion and avoids intermediate CO 2 purification. In this study, we design an RCC process to capture atmospheric CO 2 and react it with renewable hydrogen to produce synthetic renewable natural gas (SRNG), which serves as a carbon-neutral energy source and a chemical form of long-duration renewable energy storage. We assess the technological potential of RCC through process modeling, techno-economic, carbon footprint, and sensitivity analyses. Our findings demonstrate that RCC offers energy savings and comparable cost to separated capture and conversion processes. The cost is dominated by renewable hydrogen and material replacement cost. SRNG produced via RCC is competitive with existing low-carbon natural gas technologies and presents a promising low-cost option for long-duration energy storage. This work highlights the potential for deploying RCC technologies within a circular carbon economy and the scientific and technical challenges that must be overcome for material and technology developers.

Performance of sweeping gas membrane distillation for treating produced water: Modeling and experiments

Membrane distillation (MD) has shown promise for desalination of produced water (PW), but there are very few studies reported on the performance of MD with real PW and the characteristics of the fouling and scaling in MD. Among different MD configurations, sweeping gas MD (SGMD) is the least studied configuration. Here we report the application of SGMD for treating high-salinity PW (123 g L -1 ). The SGMD operating conditions were first carefully optimized through pure water MD experiments by varying operating conditions. The flux evaluation was accompanied by a detailed Aspen Custom Modeler simulation based on the electrolyte-NRTL thermodynamic model to better understand the heat and mass transfer in the feed and permeate channel. Supported by experiments, modeling results confirmed the partial condensation of the vapor in the permeate channel. Furthermore, it was concluded that the saturation of the sweeping gas is controlling the overall mass transfer through the membrane. Selected membranes and optimized conditions were then used to conduct short-term and long-term performance tests with PW. In long-term MD test, the concentration of the PW increased by a factor of two (50% water recovery), while the membrane exhibited small flux decline. Elemental analysis showed that strontium and sodium were the major scalant compounds.

Comparative Analysis of Natural Gas Cogeneration Incentives on Electricity Production in Latin America

An analysis to assess the influence of country-dependent variables and incentives on the feasibility of natural gas cogeneration projects in Latin America is presented in this work. The analysis is performed using a hypothetical industrial plant, where the cogeneration solution consists in the recovery of waste heat from the power generation for steam production. The feasibility is evaluated by calculating the Return of Investment (ROI) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the project. Eight Latin American countries are studied considering their specific natural gas markets, regulation, and macroeconomic variables. Two scenarios, electricity production for self-consumption and electricity production with power surplus sale, are independently analyzed considering the effects of available incentives. In the countries where the project is feasible, the application of incentives leads to a significant reduction in the ROI and, consequently, to an increment in the IRR. The effect of the interest rate and environmental impact were also analyzed. In general terms, along the region, the regulation for cogeneration is incipient while incentives are very standard and similar respect to lowering of import, Value-Added Tax (VAT), and income taxes, which seems to be designed purely to promote capital investment. Following the results from this study, it is of paramount importance to create new policy instruments in the future to advance the regulatory framework for cogeneration in Latin America.

Economic viability of using thermal energy storage for flexible carbon capture on natural gas power plants

Fossil fuel-based power plants generate 80% of the electricity in the United States and provide a reliable generation source for both base and peak power demands. These plants are expected to adapt to changes in environmental policies that will require carbon management with carbon capture and storage (CCS) representing a possible solution. Current solvent-based CCS has a detrimental impact on a power plant's performance due to large heat loads required for carbon capture solvent regeneration. This parasitic load restricts the power plant's output and operation flexibility. Therefore, this study evaluates the feasibility of using thermal storage technologies for natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants coupled with CCS to minimize the impact of solvent regeneration and enable the plant to operate at peak power output. Thermal storage can minimize the impact of CCS on the power plant by providing the heat load required for solvent regeneration during times of peak demand which will allow the plant to operate unrestricted and at full power. In total, fifteen unique thermal storage configurations were evaluated from three thermal storage categories: Brayton cycle heat pump, vapor compression heat pump, and heat recovery steam generator steam extraction for storage. The viability of these systems was determined by evaluating each configuration on thousands of real-world Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) profiles from the New York Independent System Operator and California Independent System Operator electricity markets using a techno-economic analysis. Afterwards, results were compared to the performance of a base power plant (NGCC with CCS and no thermal storage) to determine the impact of thermal storage on power plant economics. Overall, six of the thermal storage configurations performed better than base CCS enabled power plant on between 11.5% and 38.7% of the LMP signals evaluated. The best performing configuration was a vapor compression heat pump that used flue gas as the working fluid and had both hot and cold thermal storage units. This configuration performed better than the base CCS power plant on 38.7% of the LMP profiles. The results of this study show thermal storage can mitigate the economic impact of carbon capture solvent regeneration on NGCC power plants. Discussion focuses on the impact of electricity pricing on the optimal thermal storage system, the advantages and disadvantages of the systems evaluated, and identifies limitations with the study.

Non-catalytic gas phase NO oxidation in the presence of decane

In this study, experiments without a catalyst revealed that NO was oxidized in a diesel exhaust gas phase mixture due to the presence of n -C 10 H 22 (decane). This reaction was observed to occur following the low temperature oxidation catalyst test protocol (LTC-D) defined by U.S. DRIVE. The purpose of LTC-D conditions is to simulate an aftertreatment diesel combustion gas mixture in order to test candidate catalyst materials. 100% NO conversion was observed, without a catalyst, after beginning to react at 330 °C accompanied by consumption of decane. After experiments that isolated hydrocarbons, ethylene was also observed to facilitate NO oxidation to a lesser degree (>470 °C). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to investigate thermodynamically-possible initiating elementary steps during n -C 10 H 22 consumption and NO oxidation. Two feasible intermediate radicals to oxidize NO to NO 2 are ·C 10 H 21 O 2 and ·HO

CO 2 plume evolution in a depleted natural gas reservoir: Modeling of conformance uncertainty reduction over time

Uncertainty in the long-term fate of CO 2 injected for geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is a significant barrier to the adoption of GCS as a greenhouse-gas emission-mitigation for industry and regulatory agencies alike. Here, we present a modeling study that demonstrates that the uncertainty in forecasts of GCS site performance decreases over time as monitoring data are used to update operational models. We consider a case study of GCS in a depleted natural gas reservoir, with CO 2 injection occurring over 20 years, with a 50-year post-injection site care period. We constructed a detailed model to generate the actual model output, which is considered synthetic observation data. A series of simpler operational models based on limited data and assumptions about how an operator would model such a site are then run and compared against actual model output at specific monitoring points after one year, two years, etc. The operational model is updated and improved using the synthetic observation data from the actual model at the same time intervals. Model parameter values and model features needed to be updated over time to improve matches to the actual model. These kinds of model adjustments would be a normal part of reservoir engineering and site management at GCS sites. Uncertainty in two key measures related to site performance decreases with time: extent of the CO 2 plume up-dip migration, and radial extent of the pressure pulse. This conclusion should help allay the concerns of industry and regulators about uncertainty in long-term fate of CO 2 at GCS sites.

Effect of secondary gas-phase reactions (SGR) in pyrolysis of carbon feedstocks for anisotropic carbon materials production – 2: Effects of SGR on tars produced from varying ranks of coal

Herein, this work explores the extent to which secondary gas-phase reactions (SGR) in pyrolysis can be used to modify coal tar chemistries from coals of different ranks in favor of improved anisotropy formation in their respective pitches. Pyrolysis was performed on four different coals of varying bituminous rank (Utah Sufco, Wyoming PRB Black Thunder, Illinois #6, and West Virginia Flying Eagle), with SGR temperatures ranging from 800 to 900° C and nominal SGR gas-phase residence times from 1 to 2.5 s. The oxygen content, aliphatic content, and molecular weight distributions of the coal tar samples were measured to indicate the changes with increasing levels of SGR, and microscopy was also used to measure changes in anisotropy formation in the resulting pitch samples. Generally, for all coals tested, increased levels of pyrolysis SGR led to decreased oxygen and aliphatic content, increased molecular weight sizes, and improved anisotropy formation. However, it was clear that the extent of these property changes depended on the chemistry and rank of the starting coal feedstock. Despite the relatively high rank of the Illinois #6 coal, its respective pitch samples performed poorly in improving anisotropy formation, due to its high sulfur content. The PRB, Sufco, and Flying Eagle coals performed better in their anisotropy formation than Illinois #6, depending on their respective coal ranks. Statistical analysis (analysis of variance, ANOVA) performed on the sample characterization data also suggests that SGR temperature is consistently the most dominant and significant effect on the resulting coal products.
