Solar-driven selective conversion of millimolar dissolved carbon to fuels with molecular flux generation by Bin Liu, Zheng Qian, Xiang Shi, Haoqing Su, Wentao Zhang, Atsu Kludze, Yuze Zheng, Chengxing He, Rito Yanagi, Shu Hu

“…Photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 reduction (CO2R) devices promise the sustainable conversion of dissolved carbon in seawater to carbon products using sunlight as the only energy input. However, the diffusion-dominant transport mechanism and the near-zero concentration of CO2(aq) (CO2 dissolved in aqueous solution) in static seawater has made it extremely challenging to achieve high solar-to-fuel (STF) efficiency and high carbon-product selectivity. …”

Leaching Kinetics of Ironmaking Blast Furnace Slag as a Source of Calcium for CO₂ Sequestration by Makhitha Masipa, Itumeleng Kohitlhetse, Hilary Rutto, Kentse Motsetse, Malibongwe S. Manono

“…However, with the smallest particle size fraction, more calcium can be extracted before the surface is obstructed, thus ensuring maximum extraction efficiency. Based on the activation energy value of 70.51 kJ/mol, it is less likely that the leaching of blast furnace slag in ammonium nitrate is a product-layer-diffusion-controlled process, as the activation energy for this type of process is usually below 20 kJ/mol. …”
