In-situ power generation and nutrients recovery from waste activated sludge – long-term performance and system optimization by Wu, Dan, Sun, Faqian, Chua, Desmond Feng Jun, Lu, Dan, Stuckey, David Campbell, Zhou, Yan

“…This study reports an integrated sludge treatment and resource recovery system that consisted of a sludge pre-treatment reactor and a microbial fuel cell (MFC) aiming for simultaneous energy and nutrients recovery. Nearly one year performance of the system in terms of power generation, nutrients removal efficiency, key dissolved organic matters (DOMs) transformation and microbial community change were investigated and reported. …”

Inherently separated syngas production from plastic waste fast pyrolysis integrated with volatile chemical looping conversion with CO₂ splitting by Liu, Guicai, Lisak, Grzegorz

“…Three conversion modes, i.e., redox, cracking and redox-cracking mixed modes, were evaluated using different catalyst, and found that cracking mode with Ni/Al2O3 or Ni/MgAl2O4 exhibited better fuel conversion and syngas separation performance than redox and mixed modes (using Ca2Fe2O5 and Ni/Ca2Fe2O5, respectively), achieving nearly full CO-H2 separation from the syngas product. …”

All-sky, all-frequency directional search for persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO’s and Advanced Virgo’s first three observing runs by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…In addition, we outline a method to identify candidate pixel-frequency pairs that could be followed up by a more sensitive (and potentially computationally expensive) search, e.g., a matched-filtering-based analysis, to look for fainter nearly monochromatic coherent signals. The ASAF analysis is inherently independent of models describing any spectral or spatial distribution of power. …”
