Carbon nanofibers (CNF) with different morphologies and microstructures were widely used as electrode material for supercapacitors since they exhibit high electrolyte-electrode interface, flexibility, and tunable physicochemical properties. This CNFs-based electrode electrochemical performance is greatly influenced by their surface area, pore st...

Energy plays a pivotal role in industrial development of any country. At present, most of the countries are utilizing fossil fuels, mainly coal and natural gas as energy sources for power production. However, these sources emit high amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere resulting in global warming. Hence, the fossil fuel–based thermal...

Present work evaluates hydrogen and power co-generation of a supercritical (SuperC) steam based coal direct chemical looping combustion (CDCLC) power plant using high ash coal. Different cases of hydrogen co-generation have been considered with 0-900 MW of hydrogen production and 462-157 MW of electric power generation. In this study, CDCLC plant u...

Energy conservation has been one of the prime research objectives of the global scientific community. Heat integration has been a promising intensification technique for energy conservation in chemical industries. In this work, a simple unit-specific event-based framework is proposed for short term scheduling and heat integration. Using the concept...

Carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere are accelerated due to increased demand for energy. Coal-fired power plants are still the major sources of power generation in many countries and have become the major sources of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Chemical looping combustion is one of the most promising “next generation” carbon diox...

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is an encouraging technology for hydrogen and power co-generation with efficient CO2 capture. Utilization of the captured CO2 is a much more important task to realize negative CO2 emissions. The objective of the work is to explore a case study of carbon dioxide utilization (CDU) in the form of formic acid synthesis...

Integrating biomass energy generation with carbon capture will result in “carbon neutral” to “carbon negative” technology. Countries like India and China possess significant reserves of limestone. Calcium looping (CaL) technology can prove to be a promising option for carbon capture in these countries. The present work aims at improving the perform...

This paper gives a brief review of energy and CO2 emissions related topics resulting from the chemical and related industries. The main issues, challenges and opportunities are highlighted together with perspectives of process alternatives for more efficient energy consumption and CO2 emission management. Analysis of the data indicate that not all...

This paper gives a brief review of the available energy sources for consumption, their effects in terms of CO2-emission and its management, and sustainable chemical processing where energy-consumption, CO2-emission, as well as economics and environmental impacts are considered. Analysis of the data indicate that not all available energy sources are...

Energy is the driving force for growth and per-capita energy consumption is a key parameter for the development of a nation. Carbon dioxide emissions from burning of fossil fuels are the main concerns for global warming. This paper presents a brief review of the available energy sources, CO2-emissions and management, and sustainable chemical proces...

The concern on the effect of global warming due to greenhouse gases has been increasing. Carbon dioxide is the most powerful greenhouse gas and more than 40% of its emission is from fossil fuelled power plants. So the efficient use of fossil fuel with carbon dioxide capture is the best method for achieving the energy demands with less pollutant emi...

Refractive indices, n D , and densities,, of binary mixtures of diethyl carbonate (DEC) with o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene have been measured by a Abbe refractometer and Anton Paar DSA 5000 density and sound analyser respectively at T = (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, 318.15 and 323.15) K. Some empirical and theoretical relations like Arago-Biot (...
