In-situ synthesis of Fe-MOR molecular sieve catalyst for energy-efficient CO2 capture by Shijian Lu, Yanyang Xue, Fanpeng Meng, Miaomiao Liu, Ting Hou, Yimeng Luo, Ling Liu, Yongsheng An, Guojun Kang, Xingdian Wu

“…In this paper, we report a one-step synthesis and preparation of Fe-MOR catalysts by introducing iron into the framework of mullite (MOR) zeolite molecular sieves via a simple and facile in-situ synthesis method, overcoming the uncontrolled metal distribution and instability generated by the production of such SAC catalyst via conventional methods such as loading or ion exchange and further enhancing their pore structure regulation and acidic structure. The catalysts were also applied to the catalytic desorption of CO₂ from a 30wt % MEA aqueous solution, and the CO₂ desorption rate and desorption capacity were increased by 46 % and 5 %, respectively, and the relative regeneration heat load was reduced by 17.4 % compared with the non-catalytic system when the molar ratio of Fe to Si was 2 %. …”

Stress transfer mechanism and engineering practice of hydraulic fracturing roof cutting in roadway by Gu GONG, Zenghui LIU, Ruofei ZHANG, Junbao ZHANG, Ziyang WU, Fantai MA

“…After roof cutting, the high stress near the transport roadway in the mining area is obviously reduced, and the vertical stress on the coal pillar side is reduced from 33.79 MPa to 17.7 MPa, with a decrease of 47.6 %; after hydraulic fracturing, the arch foot of the transport roadway in the mining area is cut off, as a result, the arch foot moves to the right and remains stable for a long time due to the large structure of the macroscopic stress shell. Through this technology, the hanging roof structure of hard roof can be changed, and the transmission of high stress to roadway can be blocked, thus the roadway is effectively protected.…”
