Article Abstract
The development of efficient and low-energy consumption processes and reactors for the treatment of highly concentrated, recalcitrant, and toxic organic wastewater has been a significant challenge. This study presents a novel fluidized-bed reactor, equipped with multi-stage oxygen distribution zones, designed to enhance detoxification, carbon removal, and nitrogen removal. Experimental investigations using coking wastewater demonstrated that the multi-stage oxygen fluidized-bed reactor achieved COD and TN removal rates of 86.9 ± 1.2% and 93.1 ± 2.7% at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 70 h, significantly outperforming the traditional aerobic fluidized-bed reactor (84.4 ± 1.6% and 41.8 ± 2.2%). The multi-stage oxygen distribution in the reactor facilitated the enrichment of various functional microorganisms in activated sludge, leading to the formation of a highly diverse microbial community. This community simultaneously performed organic degradation, nitrification, and denitrification, enhancing the COD degradation and TN removal efficiency in coking wastewater. The fluidized-bed reactor with multi-stage oxygen distribution exhibited performance in treating coking wastewater, offering valuable insights for the design of reactors intended for bio-processing toxic, recalcitrant, and high-concentration industrial wastewater.

Potassium metal batteries are considered as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. However, their practical development is hindered by the insufficient capacity output and persistent dendritic proliferation at the anode side. Here graphene-skinned hexagonal boron nitride powder is demonstrated synthesized via fluidized bed-chemical vapor deposition, realizing conformal growth of layer-controlled graphene (5-90 layers) over h-BN with atomically coupled heterointerfaces.

The main aim of this study deals with the potential evaluation of a fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR) for hydrogen production as a clean fuel carrier via methanol steam reforming reaction, comparing its performance with other reactors including packed bed membrane reactors (PBMR), fluidized bed reactors (FBR), and packed bed reactors (PBR). For this purpose, a two-dimensional, axisymmetric numerical model was developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the reactor performances. Model accuracy was validated by comparing the simulation results for PBMR and PB with experimental data, showing an accurate agreement within them.

This study reports the first integration of mainstream anammox into inverse fluidized bed bioreactors, herein termed Invammox, synergizing respective strengths to overcome longstanding limitations of each process. A rapid (<3 h) biofilm attachment protocol was developed to effectively define optimal combination of initial particle loading as 30 % of the reactor by volume and initial seed biomass as 1 g VSS/L for startup. Upon seeding slow-growing anammox bacteria, Invammox spontaneously exhibited hydrodynamic uniformity, avoided biofilm overgrowth, and sustained resilient stability over 6,000 hours.

The main objective of this article is to review previous contributions on the applications of fluidized bed reactors (FBR) in biocatalysis. FBR combines the properties of a stirred tank reactor and a continuous tubular reactor, making it an efficient system for carrying out enzymatic reactions with immobilized enzymes. This equipment's advantages include its high transfer capacity and versatility, as it can be used with liquid and gaseous phases.

Current proposals to achieve carbon reduction through the co-firing of ammonia and coal in fluidized bed boilers necessitate further research into the combustion characteristics of ammonia under fluidized bed conditions. Ammonia co-firing has primarily been explored using either detailed combustion mechanisms in pulverized coal boilers or coal combustion reactions in fluidized beds. In this study, we performed experiments and detailed mechanism simulations of coal and ammonia co-firing in a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) combustion apparatus (operating temperature: approximately 1123 K) and conducted experiments at various primary air (PA) and secondary air (SA) ratios.
