Amine-functionalized sorbents prepared by wet impregnation method shows great promises for CO2 capture from real flue gas in power plants. The objective of this work is to understand CO2 adsorption thermodynamics and mechanisms at varied polyethylenimine (PEI) loadings on mesoporous MCM-41 by...

A new inexpensive inorganic–organic composite sorbent for CO2 capture was prepared by the immobilization of a branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) onto porosity-enhanced clays using the wet impregnation method. In the composite, a low cost and naturally abundant clays (e.g. kaolinite and...

A mobilized thermal energy storage (TES) system has been proposed to recover and use industrial waste or excess heat for distributed users. In this paper, lab-scale test facilities have been built to understand the mechanisms of heat charging and discharging processes. The facilities consist of...

Expanded graphite is a promising heat transfer promoter due to its high conductivity, which improves the thermal conductivity of organic phase change materials. Moreover, it can also serve as supporting materials to keep the shape of the blends stable during the phase transition. After various...

[beta]-Aluminum nitride powder is a promising additive due to its great conductivity value, which can enhance the thermal conductivity of organic phase change materials. In this paper, a high conductivity form-stable phase change material was prepared by blending polyethylene glycol, silica gel,...

This work mainly involved the preparation and characterization of form-stable polyethylene glycol (PEG)/silicon dioxide (SiO2) composite as a novel solid-liquid phase change material (PCM). In this study, the polyethylene glycol/silicon dioxide composites as form-stable, solid-liquid phase...

A conceptual system, mobilized thermal energy storage system (M-TES), was proposed for distributed heat supply. The economic evaluation that is essential to identify the key issues and provide guidelines regarding system improvement was conducted in this paper. Results show that the cost using...
