Enteromorpha prolifera-based activated biochar was synthesized by an oily sludge-assisted “one-step” carbonization and activation method for Methylene Blue removal.
The combustion and NO emission characteristics of Shenmu coal and char were investigated with a thermogravimetry−mass spectrometry (TG−MS) system and on a pilot platform of a 2 MW circulating fluidized bed (CFB), respectively. Unlike Shenmu coal, the disadvantages of Shenmu char combustion include late ignition, poor combustion stability, and poor burnout. Despite its well-developed pore structure, there is less volatile content and more carbon crystal for Shenmu char, resulting in lower combustion reactivity compared to Shenmu coal. The combustion of Shenmu char has a higher dependence upon the combustion temperature, and it improves when the combustion temperature exceeds 900 °C. NO emission from the combustion of Shenmu char decreases with an increase in the combustion temperature, which is in contrast with the combustion of Shenmu coal. However, with an increase in the excess air ratio and a decrease in the secondary air ratio and the height of the secondary air port, NO emission from the combustion of both Shenmu char and coal increases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
