Integrated Assessment of Environmental and Economic Performance of Chemical Products Using Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach

With the increasing public consciousness on environmental issues, chemical products and process designs require simultaneous satisfaction and compromise of environmental and economical requirements. To fulfill the two conflicting while complementary objectives, a systematic approach for life cycle design of a chemical product is proposed in this article. Multiattribute decision-making is adopted in a trade-off consideration of both technical economical evaluation and environmental impacts assessment using the analytic hierarchy process （AHP） approach. On the basis of an evaluation of the relative importance of the criteria multicriteria decision making is performed. In this study, an AHP model is used to derive single a criteria score by analyzing the environmental impact and life cycle cost of a product, respectively. And a fluctuant weight analysis is put forth to calculate the integrated index of the product to enable products to be ranked or selected intuitionally and conveniently. The proposed AHP model has been applied to a case study, a comparative study on chamber cleaning with NF3 and C2F6. The resuits show that the protposed AHP model is Capable of providing a rational and relevant evaluation.

A review of pulse electrolysis for efficient energy conversion and chemical production

Electrochemical transformation emerges as an important solution to sustainable energy conversion and chemical production.Conventional electrolytic systems usually operate under galvanostatic or potentiostatic conditions that sometimes result in unsatisfactory efficiencies or selectivities.Pulse electrolysis by pulsating and programming the potentials/currents can feature unique tunability to the electrodeelectrolyte interface properties that can give rise to drastically different electrochemical behaviors compared to the steady-state counterparts.Although invented almost 100 years ago,pulse electrolysis has received little attention over the period,but has recently attracted a revived focus toward the energyefficient electrolysis.This review will summarize the history and recent efforts of pulse electrolysis in three categories:water electrolysis,CO_(2)electrolysis and other electrolysis.In each section,the advantage of pulse electrolysis over steady-state electrolysis will be discussed in detail,giving a comprehensive overview of the pulse effect on the electrolytic systems.Finally,we will provide our vision of future directions in pulse electrolysis based on previous works.

Oxidation Mechanism and Toxicity Evolution of Linalool,a Typical Indoor Volatile Chemical Product

Linalool,a high-reactivity volatile chemical product(VCP)commonly found in cleaning products and disinfectants,is increasingly recognized as an emerging contaminant,especially in indoor air.Understanding the gas-phase oxidation mechanism of linalool is crucial for assessing its impact on atmospheric chemistry and human health.Using quantum chemical calculations and computational toxicology simulations,we investigated the atmospheric transformation and toxicity evolution of linalool under low and high NO/HO_(2)·levels,representing indoor and outdoor environments.Our findings reveal that linalool can undergo the novel mechanisms involving concerted peroxy(RO_(2)·)and alkoxy radical(RO·)modulated autoxidation,particularly emphasizing the importance of cyclization reactions indoors.This expands the widely known RO_(2)·-dominated H-shift-driven autoxidation and proposes a generalized autoxidation mechanism that leads to the formation of low-volatility secondary organic aerosol(SOA)precursors.Toxicological analysis shows that over half of transformation products(TPs)exhibited higher carcinogenicity and respiratory toxicity compared to linalool.We also propose time-dependent toxic effects of TPs to assess their long-term toxicity.Our results indicate that the strong indoor emission coupled with slow consumption rates lead to significant health risks under an indoor environment.The results highlight complex indoor air chemistry and health concerns regarding persistent toxic products during indoor cleaning,which involves the use of linalool or other VCPs.

Computational design of structured chemical products

In chemical product design,the aim is to formulate a product with desired performance.Ingredients and internal product structure are two key drivers of product performance with direct impact on the mechanical,electrical,and thermal properties.Thus,there is a keen interest in elucidating the dependence of product performance on ingredients,structure,and the manufacturing process to form the structure.Design of product structure,particularly microstructure,is an intrinsically complex problem that involves different phases of different physicochemical properties,mass fraction,morphology,size distribution,and interconnectivity.Recently,computational methods have emerged that assist systematic microstructure quantification and prediction.The objective of this paper is to review these computational methods and to show how these methods as well as other developments in product design can work seamlessly in a proposed performance,ingredients,structure,and manufacturing process framework for the design of structured chemical products.It begins with the desired target properties and key ingredients.This is followed by computation for microstructure and then selection of processing steps to realize this microstructure.The framework is illustrated with the design of nanodielectric and die attach adhesive products.

Availability,sustainability and accessibility of agro crop residue production and solar radiation in Egypt for producing highly chemical products through pyrolysis processes

This study examines the large amount of agricultural waste produced in Egypt between 2010 and 2019 by analysing data from various departments within the Agriculture Ministry.It also provides a comprehensive database on the biomass available from agricultural waste in Egypt and its potential applications for producing power,heat and chemical products.When biomass-pyrolysis systems powered by solar energy are used,research demonstrates the potential to convert agricultural waste into a variety of chemical compounds.This approach utilizes solar energy,a clean and renewable source,and has wide-ranging industrial and power generation applications.Despite Egypt’s reliance on agriculture,the country currently utilizes little biomass for energy production and has not previously used it as a source for creating chemical products,which could potentially save on the imported oil used in these industries.The findings of the study are graphically presented using histograms,pie charts,etc.The overall production of residues reached the 30-Mt level in 2019.Because it contains the most rice-cultivated land,Dakahlia(Lower Egypt region)produces the highest percentage of the total residue(37.17%).Qena governorate(Upper Egypt region)produces 1.14 metric tons of residues,with sugarcane accounting for 20.3%of the total.

Boosting hydrogen and chemicals production through ethanol electro-reforming on Pt-transition metal anodes

The aim of this work is to boost the combined hydrogen and added-values compounds generation(acetaldehyde, acetic acid and ethyl acetate) through ethanol electrochemical reforming using bimetallic anodes. In particular, the influence of the secondary metal on the electrochemical performance as well as on the product distribution was studied. For that purpose, Pt X/C electrocatalysts(where X corresponds to Cu, Co, Ni and Ru) were synthesized by the modified polyol method and tested in both half-cell and proton exchange membrane(PEM) cell configurations. Characterization results showed that incorporation of Ni and Co into the Pt matrix enhances the morphological properties of the material, providing smaller crystallite sizes, higher active surface areas and hence, better dispersion when comparing to Ru and Cu-based electrocatalysts. Ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR) was evaluated by cyclic, linear voltammetry and chronopotentiometry assays. Pt Co/C and Pt Ni/C exhibited the highest electrocatalytic activity at high polarization levels, which translate into an improvement of more than 30%(up to 1050 m A cm^(-2)) in the hydrogen production and chemical yields. On the other hand, Pt Ru/C results more advantageous for a lower potential interval(<0.85 V) promoting the acetic acid production despite sacrificing ethanol conversion. Pt Cu/C presented the lowest results in both electrochemical performance and product distribution. Such differences in the electrochemical performance can be rationalized in terms of the synergistic effect between both metals(particle size distribution, grade of dispersion and hydrophilic behavior), which demonstrate that the incorporation of a different secondary metal plays an essential role in the EOR development.

Artificial photosynthesis for high-value-added chemicals:Old material,new opportunity

Solar energy utilization has drawn attention due to ever-increasing environmental and energy issues.Photoelectrochemical(PEC)and photocatalytic(PC)water splitting for hydrogen production,which is the most popular and well-established solar-to-chemical conversion process,has been studied thoroughly to date but is now facing limitations related to low conversion efficiency.To resolve this issue,research in PEC cells or photocatalysts has recently aimed to produce alternative value-added chemicals by modifying their redox reactions,which potentially enables high economic reward to compensate for the low efficiency.Here,various kinds of redox reactions that decouple classic water splitting reactions to produce value-added chemicals via PEC and PC processes are introduced.Successful coupling of CO_(2) reduction,O_(2) reduction and organic synthesis with either water oxidation or water reduction is comprehensively discussed from the perspective of basic fundamental and product selectivity in terms of the band structure of materials,cocatalyst design,and thermodynamics and kinetics of the reactions.Throughout the review,future challenges and opportunities are suggested with respect to the redesigned artificial synthesis,which might be an alternative development for the commercialization of PEC or PC value-added chemical production technologies in the near future.
