abstract = {The present study reports the promising potential of waste hemp-hurd-derived carbons as anodes in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Carbons were produced through an easily scalable process consisting of pyrolysis of raw biomass at 500 °C followed by mild chemical activation of the resulting char through wet impregnation with K2CO3 and subsequent heating of the solid phase (after filtration and drying) up to 700 or 800 °C under nitrogen. The best electrochemical performance was observed for the hard carbon activated at a char-K2CO3 mass ratio of 1:4 and heated up to 800 °C, which exhibited an excellent initial coulombic efficiency (73%) and achieved reversible charge capacities of 267 and 79 mAh g–1 at 0.03 and 1 A g–1, respectively. This material also exhibited an impressive cyclic stability and rate capability, with a capacity retention of 96% after 300 cycles at a current density of 2 A g–1. This more than satisfactory performance could be related to the textural and structural features of the hard carbon, which include moderate interconnected microporosity (with pore sizes below 1 nm), an appropriate concentration of defects in the carbon structure, relatively large interplanar distances, and a certain number of closed pores.},

abstract = {The present work studied the influence of the calcination temperature on the aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol with in situ generated hydrogen over a Ni/Al3Fe1 catalyst. The Ni/Al3Fe1 catalyst was synthesized by the co-precipitation method at 28 mol% of Ni (Ni/(Ni + Al + Fe)) and a molar ratio of Al/Fe of 3/1. The prepared catalyst was calcined at different temperatures (500–750 °C). The obtained samples were tested for the aqueous phase hydrogenolysis (APH) of glycerol and characterized by several analytical techniques (ICP-OES, H2-TPR, XRD, N2-physisorption, NH3-TPD, STEM, FESEM, and TGA). The catalyst calcined at 625 °C was selected as the best sample due to its high acidity, metal dispersion, and catalytic activity; 1,2-propanediol was the highest carbon selectivity product. In addition, it experienced lower metal leaching than the catalyst calcined at 500 °C.},

abstract = {Biogas generation through anaerobic digestion provides an interesting opportunity to valorize some types of animal waste materials whose management is increasingly complicated by legal and environmental restrictions. To successfully expand anaerobic digestion in livestock areas, operational issues such as digestate management must be addressed in an economical and environmentally sustainable way. Biogas upgrading is another necessary stage before intending it to add-value applications. The high concentration of CO2 in biogas results in a reduced caloric value, so the removal of CO2 would be beneficial for most end-users. The current work evaluates the CO2 uptake properties (thermogravimetry study) of low-cost adsorbent materials produced from the animal wastes generated in the livestock area itself, specifically via pyrolysis of poorly biodegradable materials, such as meat and bone meal, and the digestate from manure anaerobic digestion. Therefore, the new element in this study with respect to other studies found in the literature related to biochar-based CO2 adsorption performance is the presence of high content of pyrolyzed proteins in the adsorbent material. In this work, pyrolyzed chars from both meat and bone meal and co-digested manure have been proven to adsorb CO2 reversibly, and also the chars produced from their representative pure proteins (collagen and soybean protein), which were evaluated as model compounds for a better understanding of the individual performance of proteins. The ultra-microporosity developed in the protein chars during pyrolysis seems to be the main explanation for such CO2 uptake capacities, while neither the BET surface area nor N-functionalities on the char surface can properly explain the observed results. Although the CO2 adsorption capacities of these pristine chars (6–41.0 mg CO2/g char) are far away from data of commercially activated carbons ($sim$80 mg CO2/g char), this application opens a new via to integrate and valorize these wastes in the circular economy of the primary sector.},

abstract = {Cyclic Ethers (CEs) belong to a class of compounds of importance to understand the chemistry of both the engine auto-ignition of hydrocarbon fuels and the combustion of oxygenated biofuels. This article, divided in six parts, aims at systematically analyzing how up-to-date experimental and theoretical methods were applied to unveil the gas-phase oxidation chemistry of these compounds. The first part gives a brief overview on the significance of CEs as intermediates formed during alkane low-temperature oxidation summarizing its generally accepted chemical mechanism. This part also addresses the role of CEs as potential biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass and discusses the production methods of these molecules and their combustion performances in engine. The second part presents the different theoretical methods dedicated to calculate the electronic structure, thermochemical and kinetic data of CEs. The third part introduces the experimental methods used in studies related to CEs with a special focus on mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. The fourth part reviews the experimental and modeling studies related to CE formation during the low-temperature oxidation of linear, branched, cyclic alkanes, alkylbenzenes, olefins, and oxygenated fuels. The fifth part analyses the published work concerning the CE degradation chemistry and highlights the dominant involved reactions. To finish, the sixth part concludes and proposes future research directions.},

abstract = {Air pollution due to the presence of small particles and gases in the atmosphere is a major cause of health problems. In urban areas, where most of the population is concentrated, traffic is a major source of air pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides or $$hbox NO_x$$ and carbon monoxide or CO). Therefore, for smart cities, carrying out an adequate traffic monitoring is a key issue, since it can help citizens to make better decisions and public administrations to define appropriate policies. Thus, citizens could use these data to make appropriate mobility decisions. In the same way, a city council can exploit the collected data for traffic management and for the establishment of suitable traffic policies throughout the city, such as restricting the traffic flow in certain areas. For this purpose, a suitable modelling approach that provides the estimated/predicted values of pollutants at each location is needed. In this paper, an approach followed to model traffic flow and air pollution dispersion in the city of Zaragoza (Spain) is described. Our goal is to estimate the air quality in different areas of the city, to raise awareness and help citizens to make better decisions; for this purpose, traffic data play an important role. In more detail, the proposal presented includes a traffic modelling approach to estimate and predict the amount of traffic at each road segment and hour, by combining historical measurements of real traffic of vehicles and the use of the SUMO traffic simulator on real city roadmaps, along with the application of a trajectory generation strategy that complements the functionalities of SUMO (for example, SUMO's calibrators). Furthermore, a pollution modelling approach is also provided, to estimate the impact of traffic flows in terms of pollutants in the atmosphere: an R package called Vehicular Emissions INventories (VEIN) is used to estimate the amount of $$hbox NO_x$$ generated by the traffic flows by taking into account the vehicular fleet composition (i.e., the types of vehicles, their size and the type of fuel they use) of the studied area. Finally, considering this estimation of $$hbox NO_x$$ , a service capable of offering maps with the prediction of the dispersion of these atmospheric pollutants in the air has been established, which uses the Graz Lagrangian Model (GRAL) and takes into account the meteorological conditions and morphology of the city. The results obtained in the experimental evaluation of the proposal indicate a good accuracy in the modelling of traffic flows, whereas the comparison of the prediction of air pollutants with real measurements shows a general underestimation, due to some limitations of the input data considered. In any case, the results indicate that this first approach can be used for forecasting the air pollution within the city.},

abstract = {An experimental and modeling study of the oxidation at high pressure of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has been performed in a quartz tubular flow reactor. Experimental and simulated concentrations of DMC, CO, CO2 and H2 have been obtained for different temperatures (500–1073 K), pressures (20, 40, and 60 atm) and stoichiometries ($łambda$ = 0.7, 1, and 35). Both pressure and concentration of oxygen are important parameters for conversion of DMC. The simulations have been carried out using a detailed kinetic mechanism previously developed by the research group. In general, the model is able to reproduce the experimental trends of the different concentration profiles, although some discrepancies are observed between experimental and simulation results. The performance of the model was also evaluated through the simulation of literature data of the oxidation of DMC at atmospheric pressure in a flow reactor and of the DMC ignition delay times under low and high pressures. In this sense, this work contributes to the knowledge of the combustion process of DMC, by providing new experimental data on the conversion of DMC at high pressures and using a kinetic model for the interpretation of the results.},

abstract = {The interaction between ammonia and NO under combustion conditions is analyzed in the present work, from both experimental and kinetic modelling points of view. An experimental systematic study of the influence of the main variables for the NH3[sbnd]NO interaction is made using a laboratory tubular flow reactor installation. Experiments are performed at atmospheric pressure and variables analyzed include: temperature in the 700–1500 K range, air stoichiometry, from pyrolysis to very oxidizing conditions, and the NH3/NO ratio, in the 0.7–3.5 range. Nitrogen and argon have been used as diluent gas. A literature reaction mechanism has been used to simulate the present experimental results and discuss the main findings. Reaction path analysis has allowed the identification of the reaction routes under the studied conditions. The simulations reflect the main experimental trends observed. Main results show that NO reduction by NH3 occurs at any conditions studied, but is more intense under oxygen excess conditions. Interactions of NH3 and NO proceeds in a molar basis with optimum conversions of NO of up to almost 100%.},

abstract = {An experimental and modeling study of the oxidation at high pressure of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has been performed in a quartz tubular flow reactor. Experimental and simulated concentrations of DMC, CO, CO2 and H2 have been obtained for different temperatures (500–1073 K), pressures (20, 40, and 60 atm) and stoichiometries ($łambda$ = 0.7, 1, and 35). Both pressure and concentration of oxygen are important parameters for conversion of DMC. The simulations have been carried out using a detailed kinetic mechanism previously developed by the research group. In general, the model is able to reproduce the experimental trends of the different concentration profiles, although some discrepancies are observed between experimental and simulation results. The performance of the model was also evaluated through the simulation of literature data of the oxidation of DMC at atmospheric pressure in a flow reactor and of the DMC ignition delay times under low and high pressures. In this sense, this work contributes to the knowledge of the combustion process of DMC, by providing new experimental data on the conversion of DMC at high pressures and using a kinetic model for the interpretation of the results.},

abstract = {The present work addresses the oxidation of ammonia and ammonia-nitric oxide mixtures in a CO2 atmosphere, characteristic of oxy-fuel processes and/or biogas combustion, from both experimental and kinetic modelling points of view. A parametric study of NH3 and NH3/NO mixtures oxidation is carried out, evaluating the influence of the temperature (700–1500 K), stoichiometry (from pyrolysis, $łambda$ = 0, to significantly oxidizing conditions, $łambda$ = 3.3), gas residence time (low values, 195/T(K) s and high values, 3100/T(K) s) and NH3/NO ratio (0.5–2.2), at atmospheric pressure under well-controlled laboratory conditions using two tubular flow reactor setups. Experimental results have been simulated with an updated literature reaction mechanism, which has been used to interpret the experimental observations.},

abstract = {The oxidation of neopentane was studied in jet-stirred reactors at atmospheric pressure over a temperature range 500-850 K and $phi$ = 0.5. The products were analyzed with chromatographic, mass spectrometric, and photoelectron spectroscopic setups complemented with theoretical calculations. This combination provides a comparison of photo-ionization mass spectrometry and gas chromatography for the quantification of mole fractions and highlights the relevant differences between them, while mass-tagged photoelectron spectroscopy sheds light onto the isomeric distribution. The new data and corresponding analyses are expected to provide valuable guidance for an extension of the kinetic model and the choice of experimental methods. The main first and second O2-addition products were observed in agreement with the literature (e.g., 3,3-dimethyloxetane, acetone, isobutene, and ?-ketohydroperoxide). The simulated mole fractions of the products using a literature kinetic model were compared to the experimental results. Even though the kinetic model has been validated previously, significant discrepancies between the measured and simulated mole fractions of 2-methylpropanal and methacrolein, two fuel-specific low-temperature oxidation products, were found. Furthermore, some experimentally observed species related to ?-ketohydroperoxide decomposition were not predicted indicating that the model is incomplete. The detection of 2-methylpropanal and formic acid highlighted the importance of the Korcek-type pathway.},
