RESUMEN

The implementation of the Gob-Side Entry Retaining Mining Mode with Roof Cutting and Pressure Relief (GERRCPR) results in the gob connecting to the retaining roadway, creating an open space that causes significant air leakage and increases the risk of spontaneous combustion. A study was conducted during the implementation of the GERRCPR in the Xiaonan Coal Mine N1-1502 working face to investigate spontaneous combustion characteristics, along with fire prevention and extinguishing measures. To analyze gob airflow, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was employed to collect data on airflow conditions, O2 concentration, and temperature. Based on this, this study focuses on exploring the effects of nitrogen injection treatment under various rates and positions to optimize parameters for buried pipe nitrogen injection. Results indicated that within the GERRCPR, air leakage in the gob increased, leading to an increase in O2 concentration, expansion of the oxidation zone, and an elevated risk of spontaneous combustion. Air leakage primarily occurred from the retaining roadway and the working face near the intake-air roadway, peaking at a retaining roadway length of 500 m, with a flow rate of 226 m3/min. Following nitrogen injection treatment, the oxidation zone was significantly reduced, with optimal treatment achieved at a nitrogen injection depth of 70 m and a rate of 600 m3/h. Field monitoring data showed that the inertization measure of using porous long pipes, a nitrogen injection spacing of 30 m, and a nitrogen injection rate of 600 m3/h significantly decreased the O2 concentration within the gob. This reduction meets safety production requirements and outperforms the effectiveness of traditional buried-pipe nitrogen injection methods, thereby validating the simulation accuracy. Understanding the laws governing spontaneous coal combustion in the GERRCPR and enacting preventive measures for nitrogen injection can improve safety standards in mining operations. This proactive approach can effectively prevent spontaneous coal combustion accidents, resulting in substantial social benefits.

RESUMEN

Nanothermites have found broad applications; however, due to being systems largely reacting in condensed phases, their performance is somewhat limited by heat and mass transfer. In order to alleviate this issue, nanothermites doped with gas-generating energetic materials have been developed. In this work, we present an investigation of a model Ti/CuO nanothermite doped by four classical energetic materials and investigate their properties and combustion performance. Mechanical and laser irradiation sensitivity, as well as ignition/explosion temperatures have been determined for the studied systems to establish their safety features. In terms of combustion performance, thrust force parameters and linear combustion velocity have been determined and the structure of the evolving flame front was recorded during open-air combustion experiments. The obtained results indicate that the developed doped nanothermite formulations are extremely promising materials for future applications.

RESUMEN

Solution combustion procedure was used to create a succession of Na3LaxSm1 - x(PO4)2 (x = 0.01-0.15 mol) nanocrystals that generate a warm deep reddish light. Both HR-TEM and X-ray diffraction examinations were used to examine the morphology and crystalline phase analysis. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) approves the elemental examination. The luminescence spectrum exhibits a decent reddish-orange emission at 700 nm wavelength upon near-UV illumination, which aligns with the electronic transition 4G5/2 → 6H11/2. According to Dexter's idea, nearest neighbor interlinkages are responsible for the concentration quenching that occurs after the Sm3+ ion composition reaches 6 mol%. Additionally, a detailed evaluation of the radiative lifespan (0.7519 ms), quantum efficiency (77%), Non radiative rate (307.40), color temperature (3170 K), color purity (99.2%) and color coordinates (0.652, 0.338) was conducted. The optical characteristics that have been observed indicate that Sm3+ doped Na3La(PO4)2 phosphors could be a good option for improving WLED efficiency and color quality.

RESUMEN

This study focuses on the solution combustion approach to examine the nanostructures of undoped and doped ZnO with different concentrations of Al (0.1 % and 0.2 %). Various physical techniques were utilized to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the crystalline materials, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) findings confirmed the products with particle size and the insertion of Al into the ZnO lattice. Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR) confirmed the presence of different functional groups in the obtained material. The results indicate that Al-doped ZnO (Al-ZnO) nanoparticles show promising properties for optoelectronics and photoluminescence. Photoluminescence analysis indicated that an increase in Al3+ (0.2 %) concentration resulted in a decrease in peak intensity and an increase in the full width at half maximum. The band gap was calculated using the Taucs plot. The study also highlights the effectiveness of Zn1-xAlxO nanostructures in degrading organic pollutants, particularly in adsorbing Malachite Green (MG) dye. Among the samples, the 0.2 % Al-doped ZnO exhibited superior dye degradation efficiency due to its enhanced adsorption capacity and smaller particle size, as evidenced by multilayer adsorption capacity and chemisorption during the degradation process. This study provides valuable insights into the potential applications of Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles in various environmental and technological fields, emphasizing their significance in the degradation of organic pollutants.

RESUMEN

This article explores the influence of safety culture (as a subset of organizational culture) on the safety performance of a post-combustion carbon capture facility. After determining the controlling variables of safety culture, a system dynamics model was built to assess how those variables contribute to the safety performance of the facility. The focus on safety culture arises for avoiding major disasters that could significantly impact a company's ability to continue, as well as minor but disruptive incidents occurring during routine operations (i.e. when there is no system upset). This paper describes the complex relationship between cultural norms, leadership practices, communication patterns, and safety conduct with an emphasis on management and personnel commitment to safety, open communication, safety investments, and productivity pressure. Insights from this study contribute to the development of strategies for enhancing the safety performance of carbon capture operations, thereby promoting the integrity and reliability of these essential elements of energy networks. This paper focuses on the visible aspect of safety culture as manifested in organismal practices. We proposed a system dynamics model to devise strategies to reconcile the profitability while preventing accidents.

RESUMEN

2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is one of the high-energy oxidants, but has limited application due to its high sensitivity. In this work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was used as a co-oxidizer, which is expected to increase the safety of CL-20. One kind of novel graphene-based carbohydrazide complex (GCCo and GCNi) was employed to modify the properties of dual-oxidant CL-20@PVDF composites by the spray drying method and compared with traditional nanocarbon materials (CNTs and GO). The properties of these composites were investigated using the TGA/DSC technique and impact test. The results show that GCCo and GCNi could increase the activation energy (Ea) of CL-20@PVDF composites, and change the physical model of CL-20@PVDF, which followed the random chain scission model and then the first-order reaction model. In addition, these nanocarbon materials could reduce the impact sensitivity of CL-20@PVDF by their unique structure. Besides that, a dual-oxidant CL-20@PVDF system was used to improve the combustion property of Boron. GCCo and GCNi with the synergetic effect could increase the flame temperature and control the burn rate of CL-20@PVDF@B compared with CNTs and GO. The energetic nanocarbon catalyst-modified oxidant provides a facile method for stabilizing high-energy but sensitive materials to broaden their application.

RESUMEN

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of persistent organic pollutants whose high stability and appreciable water solubility have led to near-global contamination. PFAS are bioaccumulative toxins that have been linked to a myriad of disorders and have been detected nearly universally in human blood. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is the most frequent method used for quantitation, though this typically only measures a few dozen of the >14 000 known PFAS and has been shown to account for a small portion of the total organic fluorine present. Sum parameter methods such as total, extractable, and adsorbable organic fluorine have emerged as alternative measurements for PFAS determination. Combustion ion chromatography has become the preferred method for organofluorine measurement where the sorbent or extract containing PFAS is combusted and the emitted hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a measure of the cumulative organofluorine present. Herein we critically review the types of organofluorine measurement, their separation from the sample matrix, and key parameters of the analytical instrument that affect sensitivity, reproducibility, and recovery with regards to PFAS analysis.

RESUMEN

This manuscript describes the synthesis of green long afterglow nanophosphors SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ using the combustion process. The study encompassed the photoluminescence behavior, elemental composition, chemical valence, morphology, and phase purity of SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ nanoparticles. The results demonstrate that after introducing Eu2+ into the matrix lattice, it exhibits an emission band centered at 508 nm when excited by 365 nm ultraviolet light, which is induced by the 4f65d1→4f7 transition of Eu2+ ions. The optimal doping concentrations of Eu2+ and Nd3+ were determined to be 2% and 1%, respectively. Based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, we have found that the physical phase was not altered by the doping of Eu2+ and Nd3+. Then, we analyzed and compared the quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, and afterglow decay time of the samples; the co-doped ion Nd3+ itself does not emit light, but it can serve as an electron trap center to collect a portion of the electrons produced by the excitation of Eu2+, which gradually returns to the ground state after the excitation stops, generating an afterglow luminescence of about 15 s. The quantum yields of SrAl2O4:Eu2+ and SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ phosphors were 41.59% and 10.10% and the fluorescence lifetimes were 404 ns and 76 ns, respectively. In addition, the Eg value of 4.98 eV was determined based on the diffuse reflectance spectra of the material, which closely matches the calculated bandgap value of SrAl2O4. The material can be combined with polyacrylic acid to create optical anti-counterfeiting ink, and the butterfly and ladybug patterns were effectively printed through screen printing; this demonstrates the potential use of phosphor in the realm of anti-counterfeiting printing.

RESUMEN

Domestic combustion emissions pose a growing risk to public health, especially in the UK. Existing responses are polarised, with government advocating use of lower emission fuels and stoves while clean air campaigners call for blanket bans on burning. However, each approach is limited in its ability to control these emissions. An alternative can be found in the U.S.A., where 'burn alert' systems require stove and fireplace users to avoid lighting during periods of actual or projected poor air quality. Given the effectiveness of these regimes, the current study designs and evaluates the effectiveness and acceptability of a burn alert system in the UK for the first time, drawing on the theoretical perspective of behavioural responsive regulation. Fifty participants were recruited to use the system over 2 weeks in winter. The findings illustrate that a voluntary burn alert system can dissuade burning among users. Of those in receipt of an alert, 74% reduced burning frequency or burned for a shorter duration. In total, the alert system prevented at least 178 hours of burning for this group. Qualitative findings show that the consistency of the behavioural response is influenced by technical, structural, and environmental factors, providing key insight into how UK-based burn alert systems could be modified to increase the consistency of compliance in future. The overall conclusion is that burn alerts could be introduced in the UK and beyond, as a means of reducing domestic combustion emissions and their associated public health risks.

RESUMEN

Determining the thermal profile of ignition is important because the desired ignition behavior varies with the objective. For example, extended ignition prolongs the time that the engine runs; however, fast ignition offers a higher power gain. The pollution caused by undesirable chemical reactions, as determined by the ignition profile, is another important aspect. Based on a previously developed method, we examined the impact of different theoretical particle size distributions (PSDs) on the thermal ignition profile. We compared different PSDs of polydispersed fuel spray with normal distributions with various means, each corresponding to the same fuel volume.  Our results revealed a significant dependence of thermal ignition on the PSD. Systems that comprised only low-radius droplets did not reach ignition, whereas systems with only high-radius droplets required a long time to establish ignition. Moreover, the change in the mean droplet radius unexpectedly resulted in a double hump in the maximum temperature of the combustion process.

RESUMEN

The study aimed to determine and compare the mass concentration and size distribution of particulate matter (PM) at two Polish fire stations, one equipped with a washing machine intended for the decontamination of uniforms (FSN) and the other not equipped with this type of device (FSC), to assess the effectiveness of washing machines in reducing PM concentrations inside fire stations and estimate PM doses inhaled by firefighters while performing activities in truck bays and changing rooms during one work shift. The average PM concentrations at the FSN were 18.2-28.9 µg/m3 and 27.5-37.3 µg/m3, while at FSC they were 27.4-37.9 µg/m3 and 24.6-32.8 µg/m3 in the truck bays and changing rooms, respectively. At each measurement point, most of the PM mass (65-75%) was accumulated as fine particles. The dominance of fine particles in the total mass of PM results in high values of PM deposition coefficients (0.59-0.61) in three sections of the respiratory tract at each monitoring site. This study initially indicates the effectiveness of washing machines in reducing the concentration of fine particles and demonstrates the necessity, as well as directions for further research in this area.

RESUMEN

The solvent regeneration in the post-combustion carbon capture process usually relies on steam from the power plant steam cycle. This heat duty is one of the challenges of energy consumption in PCC (Post-combustion Carbon Capture). However, this practice results in a significant energy penalty, leading to a substantial reduction in the capacity of the Power Plant, estimated to be between 19.5 and 40 %. This paper investigate the techno-economic feasibility of a solar-assisted regeneration process for the PCC industrial scale with diglycolamine solvent. The study aims to assess the impact of system configuration modifications, such as LVC (Lean Vapor Compression), SPCC (Solar Post-combustion Carbon Capture), and combinations of trough or compound solar collectors with LVC, on energy efficiency and overall plant performance. With 3E analysis for SPCC configuration results show that this configuration. However, reducing energy consumption and energy penalty factor, exhibits a decrease in exergy and exergoeconomic efficiency compared to the other configurations in terms of exergy and exergoeconomic aspects. However, the LVC + SCSS (Solar Combined Separator-Stripper) configuration demonstrates the best performance across the 3E aspects, resulting in a reduction energy penalty to 12.2 % and improvements of 38 % and 4.2 % in exergy and exergoeconomic factors, respectively.

RESUMEN

In Ulaanbaatar roughly 60% of the population live in traditional Mongolian yurts in the so-called Ger districts of the city. Winter indoor air quality is a serious concern in these districts as about 98% of households consume solid fossil fuel (mainly coal). In our study, indoor air quality was assessed based on PAHs analysis and ecotoxicity testing of 24-hour samples collected in 4 yurts. Three of the selected yurts were equipped with conventional while the fourth one with improved stoves. Analysis of PAHs profiles showed the prevalence of higher molecular weight PAHs in all yurts. Concentrations of the 5-ring benzo(b)fluoranthene and 6-ring benzo(g.h.i)perylene were extremely high in one yurt using conventional stove, 8430µgg-1 and 6320µgg-1, respectively. Ecotoxicity of the samples was assessed using the kinetic version of the Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition bioassay. In concordance with PAHs concentrations, ecotoxicity was also the highest in that yurt.

RESUMEN

Carbon-13 isotopomics of triacylglycerol (TAG) fatty acids or free fatty acids in biological matrices holds considerable potential in food authentication, forensic investigations, metabolic studies, and medical research. However, challenges arise in the isotopic analysis of short- and medium-chain (C4 to C10) fatty acid methyl esters (SMCFAMEs) through gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS). The high volatility of these esters results in losses during their preparation, leading to isotopic fractionation. Moreover, the methoxy group added to acyl chains requires the correction of δ13C values, thereby increasing the uncertainty of the final results. Analyzing free fatty acids (FFAs) addresses both issues encountered with SMCFAMEs. To achieve this objective, we have developed a new protocol enabling the isotopomics of individual fatty acids (FAs) by GC-C-IRMS. The same experiment also provides the FA profile, i.e., the relative percentage of each FA in the TAG hydrolysate or its concentration in the studied matrix. The method exhibited high precision, as evidenced by the repeatability and within-lab reproducibility of results when tested on TAGs from both animal and vegetal origins. Compared to the analysis of FAMEs by GC-C-IRMS, the current procedure also brings several improvements in alignment with the principles of green analytical chemistry and green sample preparation. Thus, we present a two-in-one method for 13C-isotopomic and metabolomic biomarker quantitation within quasi-universal TAG compounds, encompassing the short- and medium-acyl chains.

RESUMEN

As an alternative to fossil fuels, there is growing interest in using ammonia in combustion systems, particularly in internal combustion engines. As a competent competitor to hydrogen, it has various advantages. However, adding an ignition promoter such as hydrogen is still necessary to maintain combustion stability. Since the engine using ammonia also suffers from high NOx emissions, in this study, the effects of adding different gases on the performance and emissions of an ammonia-hydrogen dual-fuel engine were numerically investigated. The base engine was a diesel engine whose parameters were accustomed to running with ammonia-hydrogen as fuel. Hydrogen was injected via the port in the intake stage at 180 crank angle degrees (CAD) and mixed with the cylinder charge. Ammonia was directly injected into the cylinder at 350-370 CAD. Different gasses, including argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, were injected into the cylinder at various crank angles before, during, and after ammonia injection (330-350 CAD, 350-370 CAD, and 370-390 CAD). A MATLAB code was prepared to solve the governing equations, and the combustion mechanism was implemented in Cantera. The results showed that adding CO2 before or concurrent with the ammonia injection timing had undesirable impacts on the peak in-cylinder pressure and NO and NO2 emissions. The O2 addition had a negative on the emissions. Adding N2 and Ar concurrently with the ammonia injection (350-370 CAD) could diminish NO and NO2 emissions without drastically affecting the peak in-cylinder pressure and temperature.

RESUMEN

Fire and explosion hazards pose significant safety concerns in the processing and storage of biomass particles, warranting the safe utilization of these particles. This study employed scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and cone calorimetry to investigate the thermal hazards and toxicity of raw biomass particles from four prevalent agricultural crops in China: rice, sorghum, corn, and reed. Among the samples, corn exhibited the highest heat output of 8006.82 J/g throughout the thermal decomposition process. The quantitative evaluation of critical heat flux, heat release rate intensity, fire growth rate index (FIGRA), post-ignition fire acceleration (PIFA) and flashover potential (X) revealed a substantial fire risk inherent to all the examined straw samples. Notably, corn displayed the lowest FIGRA value of 8.30 kW/m2 s, while rice demonstrated the minimum PIFA value of 16.11 kW/m2 s. Moreover, the X values for all four biomass particle types exceeded 10 under varying external heat flux levels, indicating their high propensity for fire hazards. Analysis of CO and CO2 emissions during combustion showed all four biomass samples exhibited high concentrations throughout, from the initial stages to the end. The present study offers crucial insights for formulating comprehensive fire safety guidelines tailored to the storage and processing of biomass particles.

RESUMEN

In this paper, it is aimed, for the first time, at deriving simple models, leveraging the trend analysis in order to estimate the future greenhouse gas emissions associated with coal combustion. Due to the expectations of becoming the center of global economic development in the future, BRICS-T (Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, South Africa, and Turkiye) countries are adopted as cases in the study. Following the models' derivation, their statistical validations and estimating accuracies are also tested through various metrics. In addition, the future greenhouse gas emissions associated with coal combustion are estimated by the derived models. The results demonstrate that the derived models can be successfully used as a tool for estimating the greenhouse gas emissions associated with coal combustions with accuracy ranges from at least 90% to almost 98%. Moreover, the estimating results show that the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with coal combustions in the relevant countries and in the world will increase to 14 BtCO2eq and 19 BtCO2eq by 2035, with an annual growth of 2.39% and 1.71%, respectively. In summary, the current study's findings affirm the usefulness of trend analysis in deriving models to estimate greenhouse gas emissions associated with coal combustion.

RESUMEN

Few studies apply geochemical concepts governing fluoride fate and transport in natural waters to geochemical conditions at contaminated industrial sites. This has negative implications for designing sampling and compliance monitoring programs and informing remediation decision-making. We compiled geochemical data for 566 groundwater samples from industrial waste streams associated with elevated fluoride and that span a range of geochemical conditions, including alkaline spent potliner, near-neutral pH coal combustion, and acidic gypsum stack impoundments. Like natural systems, elevated fluoride (hundreds to thousands of ppm) exists at the pH extremes and is generally tens of ppm at near-neutral pH conditions. Geochemical models identify pH-dependent fluoride complexation at low pH and carbonate stability at high pH as dominant processes controlling fluoride mobility. Limitations in available thermochemical, kinetic rate, and adsorption/desorption data and lack of complete analyses present uncertainties in quantitative models used to assess fluoride mobility at industrial sites. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Geochemical fundamentals of fluoride fate and transport in groundwater are communicated for environmental practitioners. Fluoride is a reactive constituent in groundwater, and factors that govern attenuation are identified. Geochemical models are useful for identifying fluoride attenuation processes, but quantitative use is limited by thermodynamic data uncertainties.

RESUMEN

Co-combustion of industrial and municipal solid wastes has emerged as the most promising disposal technology, yet its effect on unknown contaminants generation remains rarely revealed due to waste complexity. Hence, six batches of large-scale engineering experiments were designed in an incinerator of 650 t/d, which overcame the inauthenticity and deviation of laboratory tests. 953-1772 non-targeted compounds were screened in fly ash. Targeting the impact of co-combustion, a pseudo-component matrix model was innovatively integrated to quantitatively extract nine components from complex wastes grouped into biomass and plastic. Thus, the influence was evaluated across eight dimensions, covering molecular characteristics and toxicity. The effect of co-combustion with biomass pseudo-components was insignificant. However, co-combustion with high ratios of plastic pseudo-components induced higher potential risks, significantly promoting the formation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, highly unsaturated compounds (DBE≥15), and cyclic compounds by 19 %- 49 %, 17 %- 31 %, and 7 %- 27 %, respectively. Especially, blending with high ratios of PET plastic pseudo-components produced more species of contaminants. Unique 2 Level I toxicants, bromomethyl benzene and benzofuran-2-carbaldehyde, as well as 4 Level II toxicants, were locked, receiving no concern in previous combustion. The results highlighted risks during high proportion plastics co-combustion, which can help pollution reduction by tuning source wastes to enable healthy co-combustion.

RESUMEN

Air leakage in goaf often leads to coal spontaneous combustion (CSC), which not only directly affects the safety production of mines but also causes significant environmental damage. Therefore, effectively sealing the airflow in goaf is crucial for preventing CSC. Feasibility experiments on using two-phase foam to seal air leakage in goaf were conducted, leveraging the advantages of large flow rate, wide diffusion range, and good accumulation characteristics of two-phase foam. The research results indicate that continuous injection of foam into loose media with maintained ventilation can completely seal the air leakage, with the foam capable of withstanding wind pressures of nearly 600 Pa. When the foam is used for one-time sealing with a length of 2 m, it remains effective for 60 min, and the sealing effectiveness improves with longer distances sealed against air leakage. Numerical simulation analysis and field measurements of airflow leakage in mine working faces reveal that effectively sealing the airflow passage in the goaf behind the corner of the return airway is crucial for preventing CSC. Two methods are proposed for sealing external airflow during coal mining: foam injection using a point drilling method near the heading and an incremental buried pipe injection method. Finally, the feasibility of two-phase foam sealing technology for goaf airflow leakage is analyzed from multiple perspectives including sealing effectiveness, practicality, economy, foaming process, and engineering implementation. The research findings provide new insights into goaf sealing technology, aiding in addressing safety and environmental issues caused by spontaneous combustion in goaf areas.
