The steel industry creates enormous amounts of carbon emission and has tremendous potential in carbon reduction. Considering the consistently increasing demand of iron and steel, to obtain significant carbon reduction by reducing the steel production is not practical, thus the development and implementa- tion of carbon reduction programs and technologies is important for the steel industry. Despite the significant poten- tial of carbon reduction in the steel industry, ironmaking and steelmaking processes are complex. Therefore, resear- ches and developments for the carbon reduction must focus on key processes. Here, key processes and technologies adopted in ULCOS program in EU, COURSE 50 program in Japan, POSCO program in South Korea, AISI pro- grams in US and other carbon reduction programs are summarized and evaluated, and feasible suggestions for carbon reduction in developing countries are presented. If effective measures can be referred to and taken in developing coun- tries, global carbon emission can be greatly reduced.展开更多

METHODS： The pyrolysis characteristics of the crude materials and their extracts were studied by thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry （TG-MS） in a carrier gas of argon, coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry （FTIR） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） methods. Correlation of the pyrolysis behaviors with the carbonizing process by stir-frying of traditional Chinese medicines was made. RESULTS： Within the temperature range of 200-300 ℃, which is the testing range for the study of the carbonizing process of Chinese herbs, the temperatures indicated by the maximum weight loss rate peak of the above three extracts were taken as the upper-limit temperatures of the carbonizing process of the herbs, and which were 200, 240 and 247 ℃ for Radix Rhizoma Rhei, Cortex Moudan Radicis, and Radix Sanguisorbae, respectively. The ion monitoring signal peaks detected by the TG-MS method corresponded with reports that the level of chemical components of traditional Chinese medicinal materials would decrease after the carbonizing process. It was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry （FTIR） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） methods that better results of ＂medicinal property preservation＂ could be obtained by heating at 200 ℃ for Radix Rhizoma Rhei, at about 250 ℃ for Cortex Moudan Radicis, and Radix Sanguisorbae, as the relative intensity values of the common peaks were among the middle of their three carbonized samples by programmed heating. CONCLUSION： The upper-limit temperatures of the carbonizing process for Radix Rhizoma Rhei, Cortex Moudan Radicis and Radix Sanguisorbae were 200, 240 and 247 ℃ respectively. It is feasible to research the mechanism and technology of the carbonizing process of traditional Chinese medicinal materials using thermogravimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and scanning electron microscopy methods.展开更多

Primarily used in domestic energy sectors and medicine, it is also extensively utilized in metallurgy. However, the technologies used for its production are poorly understood, and the most commonly used methods, particularly in Africa, result in low yields and inconsistent charcoal quality. The aim of this study is to inventory charcoal production technologies and analyze their impact on yield and quality. To do this, we referred to the literature (scientific articles, dissertations, etc.) to identify various technologies and their operations. Our research reveals that charcoal yield and quality are linked to carbonization time and temperature. The longer the carbonization process, the lower the yield. Furthermore, incomplete carbonization produces charcoal with high volatile matter content (low quality). Regarding temperature, the higher it is, the faster the carbonization process and the better the charcoal quality. Industrial kilns offer the best quality charcoal. The optimal carbonization temperature for high-quality charcoal is between 600˚C and 700˚C. High-quality charcoal should contain at least 50% carbon and approximately 30% volatile matter. The highest yields do not exceed 35% - 40%.展开更多

Over the past two decades, the size of the Chineseeconomyhasmorethan quadrupledandenergyconsumptionhasmorethandoubled. The drivefor moreindustrialization overthenexttwo decades isleading to similardynamics on a much larger scale. The net increase in emissions of CO2 between 1990 and 2001 amounted to 823 million tons, accounting for27 percent ofthe world total. Energysupplies and security are keyconstraintsto industrialization;therefore, mitigation of emissionscan in fact contribute to the achievement of development goals. There is a need for China to pursuea path oflow carbon development. However, low and zero carbon technologies can hardlymeet thedemandsforthephysicalexpansion oftheeconomy. In ordertocope with the challenges for low carbon development, factors such as responsibility, capability, and potentials have to be taken into account in an international climateregime.展开更多

文摘Driven by the goal of global carbon neutrality,electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction(eCO_(2)RR)technology has become a research hotspot due to its potential to efficiently convert CO_(2)into high value-added products,such as ethylene and ethanol.Cu-based catalysts become the core material under their unique electronic structure and C–C coupling ability.It is precisely designed by single atomic sites(SACs)and diatomic site catalysts(DASCs).Combined with the stabilizing effect of composite carriers(such as metal–organic framework(MOF)materials)on the Cu active site,the product selectivity and reaction kinetics were significantly improved.In situ characterization and computational simulation revealed the dynamic reconfiguration of Cu sites and the adsorption mechanism of*CO intermediates.This result confirms that low-coordination Cu sites promote C–C coupling through the Eley–Rideal(ER)pathway,and high-pressure/high-temperature conditions can regulate the reaction path.Despite outstanding laboratory performance,industrial applications still face low stability at high current densities,high-scale preparation costs,and system integration challenges.In the future,it is necessary to focus on the analysis of atomic-level reaction mechanisms,the development of intelligent response materials,and the coupling technology of photoelectric and electrocatalysis,combined with green power matching and carbon tax policy coordination,to promote the leapfrog development of copper-based catalysts from basic research to industrial carbon cycle technology.

文摘Vegetation traits and parameters serve as key indicators of ecosystem structure,processes,and functioning while also playing crucial roles in biodiversity assessments and the global carbon and water cycles.Remote sensing technologies have emerged as indispensable ecological tools for capturing the spatial and temporal dynamics of vegetation parameters/traits across diverse landscapes and scales.Instead of relying on empirical relationships between remote sensing and vegetation parameters,more sophisticated data models can now be developed that leverage both vegetation spectral and structural signals to account for the complex interactions between radiation and vegetation canopies and provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of vegetation parameters.The proliferation of remote sensing data,particularly with the increasing availability of satellite-based imaging spectroscopy,has created an unprecedented dataset of information about the Earth’s terrestrial biosphere.This exponential growth in data,coupled with an increasing demand for more precise vegetation parameter retrievals,has spurred the development of new methodologies aimed at creating efficient,accurate,and adaptable data analysis techniques and applications for deriving vegetation parameters from remote sensing data.

文摘This paper presents a novel home area energy management system(HEMS)for smart homes with different load profiles installed with photovoltaic generation,energy storage,and DC demand.The developed HEMS is shown to optimize the utilization of local renewables while minimizing energy waste between AC and DC conversions and between storage charging and discharging.Previous studies on HEMS have not considered the impact of load types.In this study,the performance of the proposed HEMS is demonstrated on different smart homes with and without electric heating.A comparative study is carried out to investigate battery behavior,characteristics of AC and DC conversion,and benefits that customers receive.A sensitivity analysis is also conducted to discuss the effects from varied energy storage capacities,AC/DC conversion efficiencies,and PV output.The results show that cost reduction in energy bills can be greatly impacted by load profiles,and customers with electric heating load coupled with sufficiently large energy storage would receive the most reduction in their energy bills.
文摘China is in a stage of rapid industrialization. Over the past two decades, the size of the Chineseeconomyhasmorethan quadrupledandenergyconsumptionhasmorethandoubled. The drivefor moreindustrialization overthenexttwo decades isleading to similardynamics on a much larger scale. The net increase in emissions of CO2 between 1990 and 2001 amounted to 823 million tons, accounting for27 percent ofthe world total. Energysupplies and security are keyconstraintsto industrialization;therefore, mitigation of emissionscan in fact contribute to the achievement of development goals. There is a need for China to pursuea path oflow carbon development. However, low and zero carbon technologies can hardlymeet thedemandsforthephysicalexpansion oftheeconomy. In ordertocope with the challenges for low carbon development, factors such as responsibility, capability, and potentials have to be taken into account in an international climateregime.
