🚨NEW PAPER 🚨

"The energy-intensive nature of CO2 absorption-desorption processes has restricted deployment of #DAC operations. So, catalytic solvent regeneration is a valid solution to tackle this case by accelerating CO2 desorption at lower regeneration temperatures."

The new work reports "a one-step synthesis methodology to prepare monodispersed #carbon nanospheres (MCSs) using trisodium citrate as a structure-directing agent with acidic sites."

"The assembly of citrate groups on the surface of MCSs enables consistent spherical growth morphology, reduces agglomeration & enhances H2O dispersibility. The functionalization-assisted synthesis produces uniform hydrophilic nanospheres of 100–600nm range."

"This work also demonstrates that the prepared MCSs can be further functionalized with strong Brønsted acid sites, providing high proton donation ability."

Furthermore, "the materials can be effectively used in a wide range of amino acid solutions to substantially accelerate CO2 #desorption (25.6% for potassium glycinate and 41.1% for potassium lysinate) in the #DirectAirCapture process."

"Considering the facile synthesis of MCS-SO3H and their superior catalytic efficiency, these findings are expected to pave a new path for energy-efficient #DirectAirCapture."

🚨 In a NEW study published today, researchers presented an analysis of the atmospheric sulfur budget using nine state-of-the-art global circulation models with interactive aerosol modules & sulfur chemistry.

🔗:

In particular, "researchers showcase the burdens of the main sulfur species represented in these models (OCS, sulfate aerosols, and SO2), as well as their latitudinal and vertical distribution and seasonal variability. Emission and deposition fluxes were also discussed."

FINDINGS:

"Sulfate aerosol, carbonyl sulfide & SO2 behave very differently in the atm, providing insight into the modeled processes. OCS is almost chemically inert in troposphere & is primarily influenced by transport mechanisms but undergoes photolysis in stratosphere."

🚨NEW study explored a system that combines enhanced olivine weathering (EOW) with increased C fixation by diatoms.

EOW can boost ocean's ability to sequester DIC while stimulating diatom growth, which in turn would fix more C & reinforce biological C pump processes. #CDR

In this study, researchers investigated the short-term synergistic CO2 removal effects of an olivine–diatom coculture system & found that:
