Toward a comprehensive life-cycle carcinogenic impact assessment: A statistical regression approach based on cancer burden.

The current approach to life cycle carcinogenic impact assessment (LCCA) is hindered by its static and linear characteristics. This situation prevents the accurate prediction of the incidence, associated damage, and potential economic burden of cancer. This study explores a highly comprehensive pathway for LCCA assessment.

Experimental study on the removal of PM using modified carbon steel collectors with hydrophilic properties in wet ESPs.

Along with the increasingly stringent dust emission concentration standards for the thermal power plants and the challenge of market competition, wet electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) have been widely used as terminal equipment for the flue gas treatment. The wet ESPs pilot test platform using the modified carbon steel collectors with hydrophilic properties was established in this paper and the experimental research on PM removal characteristics were carried out. The mechanism of the particles removal efficiency enhancement by water film on the surface of modified collectors was studied.

Experimental study on the removal of fine particles using hole-slotted collectors in wet electrostatic precipitators.

The fine particles are considered a significant environmental pollution problem. The wet electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are now used most widely among the advanced fine particle removal technologies. The rigid glass fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) collectors modified with hole-slotted structures were used to enhance the water film distribution over their surfaces.

Study on sulfur migration in activated carbon adsorption-desorption cycle: Effect of alkali/alkaline earth metals.

Activated carbon (AC) has been widely used in the removal of SO from flue gas owing to its well-developed pore structure and abundant functional groups. Herein, the effect of alkali/alkaline earth metals on sulfur migration was investigated based on the dynamic adsorption and temperature programmed desorption experiment. The adsorption and desorption properties of six types of AC (three commercial and three laboratory-made) were carried out on a fixed-bed experimental device, and the physical and chemical properties of samples were determined by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.

NO reduction by CO over ASC catalysts in a simulated rotary reactor: effect of CO, HO and SO.

The influence of CO, HO and SO on the NO reduction by CO over Fe/Co activated semi-coke catalyst was investigated in a simulated rotary reactor. The results showed that, in the simulated rotary reactor, the influence of CO and HO on the NO adsorption was significant at low temperatures, and the inhibition became weak when increasing the temperature. However, the NO adsorption efficiency could not be improved by increasing temperature after catalyst sulfur poisoning.

Wetting properties and performance test of modified rigid collector in wet electrostatic precipitators.

Unlabelled: The fine particles are considered a significant pollution problem. The wet electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) have advantages of efficient collection of the fine particles with lower pressure drop and eliminating reentrainment. The wetting properties of the collector surfaces have significantly important effect on wet ESPs' stable and secure operation.
