Study finds health risks in switching ships from diesel to ammonia fuel

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/study-finds-health-risks-in-switching-ships-from-diesel-to-ammonia-fuel/

Study finds health risks in switching ships from diesel to ammonia fuel

As container ships the size of city blocks cross the oceans to deliver cargo, their huge diesel engines emit large quantities of air pollutants that drive climate change and have human health impacts. It has been estimated that maritime shipping accounts for almost 3 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions and the industry’s negative impacts on air quality cause about 100,000 premature deaths each year.

Decarbonizing shipping to reduce these detrimental effects is a goal of the International Maritime Organization, a U.N. agency that regulates maritime transport. One potential solution is switching the global fleet from fossil fuels to sustainable fuels such as ammonia, which could be nearly carbon-free when considering its production and use.

But in a new study, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from MIT and elsewhere caution that burning ammonia for maritime fuel could worsen air quality further and lead to devastating public health impacts, unless it is adopted alongside strengthened emissions regulations.

Ammonia combustion generates nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas that is about 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide. It also emits nitrogen in the form of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2, referred to as NOx), and unburnt ammonia may slip out, which eventually forms fine particulate matter in the atmosphere. These tiny particles can be inhaled deep into the lungs, causing health problems like heart attacks, strokes, and asthma.

The new study indicates that, under current legislation, switching the global fleet to ammonia fuel could cause up to about 600,000 additional premature deaths each year. However, with stronger regulations and cleaner engine technology, the switch could lead to about 66,000 fewer premature deaths than currently caused by maritime shipping emissions, with far less impact on global warming.

“Not all climate solutions are created equal. There is almost always some price to pay. We have to take a more holistic approach and consider all the costs and benefits of different climate solutions, rather than just their potential to decarbonize,” says Anthony Wong, a postdoc in the MIT Center for Global Change Science and lead author of the study.

His co-authors include Noelle Selin, an MIT professor in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS); Sebastian Eastham, a former principal research scientist who is now a senior lecturer at Imperial College London; Christine Mounaïm-Rouselle, a professor at the University of Orléans in France; Yiqi Zhang, a researcher at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; and Florian Allroggen, a research scientist in the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The research appears this week in Environmental Research Letters.

Greener, cleaner ammonia

Traditionally, ammonia is made by stripping hydrogen from natural gas and then combining it with nitrogen at extremely high temperatures. This process is often associated with a large carbon footprint. The maritime shipping industry is betting on the development of “green ammonia,” which is produced by using renewable energy to make hydrogen via electrolysis and to generate heat.

“In theory, if you are burning green ammonia in a ship engine, the carbon emissions are almost zero,” Wong says.

But even the greenest ammonia generates nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen oxides (NOx) when combusted, and some of the ammonia may slip out, unburnt. This nitrous oxide would escape into the atmosphere, where the greenhouse gas would remain for more than 100 years. At the same time, the nitrogen emitted as NOx and ammonia would fall to Earth, damaging fragile ecosystems. As these emissions are digested by bacteria, additional N2O  is produced.

NOx and ammonia also mix with gases in the air to form fine particulate matter. A primary contributor to air pollution, fine particulate matter kills an estimated 4 million people each year.

“Saying that ammonia is a ‘clean’ fuel is a bit of an overstretch. Just because it is carbon-free doesn’t necessarily mean it is clean and good for public health,” Wong says.

A multifaceted model

The researchers wanted to paint the whole picture, capturing the environmental and public health impacts of switching the global fleet to ammonia fuel. To do so, they designed scenarios to measure how pollutant impacts change under certain technology and policy assumptions.

From a technological point of view, they considered two ship engines. The first burns pure ammonia, which generates higher levels of unburnt ammonia but emits fewer nitrogen oxides. The second engine technology involves mixing ammonia with hydrogen to improve combustion and optimize the performance of a catalytic converter, which controls both nitrogen oxides and unburnt ammonia pollution.

They also considered three policy scenarios: current regulations, which only limit NOx emissions in some parts of the world; a scenario that adds ammonia emission limits over North America and Western Europe; and a scenario that adds global limits on ammonia and NOx emissions.

The researchers used a ship track model to calculate how pollutant emissions change under each scenario and then fed the results into an air quality model. The air quality model calculates the impact of ship emissions on particulate matter and ozone pollution. Finally, they estimated the effects on global public health.

One of the biggest challenges came from a lack of real-world data, since no ammonia-powered ships are yet sailing the seas. Instead, the researchers relied on experimental ammonia combustion data from collaborators to build their model.

“We had to come up with some clever ways to make that data useful and informative to both the technology and regulatory situations,” he says.

A range of outcomes

In the end, they found that with no new regulations and ship engines that burn pure ammonia, switching the entire fleet would cause 681,000 additional premature deaths each year.

“While a scenario with no new regulations is not very realistic, it serves as a good warning of how dangerous ammonia emissions could be. And unlike NOx, ammonia emissions from shipping are currently unregulated,” Wong says.

However, even without new regulations, using cleaner engine technology would cut the number of premature deaths down to about 80,000, which is about 20,000 fewer than are currently attributed to maritime shipping emissions. With stronger global regulations and cleaner engine technology, the number of people killed by air pollution from shipping could be reduced by about 66,000.

“The results of this study show the importance of developing policies alongside new technologies,” Selin says. “There is a potential for ammonia in shipping to be beneficial for both climate and air quality, but that requires that regulations be designed to address the entire range of potential impacts, including both climate and air quality.”

Ammonia’s air quality impacts would not be felt uniformly across the globe, and addressing them fully would require coordinated strategies across very different contexts. Most premature deaths would occur in East Asia, since air quality regulations are less stringent in this region. Higher levels of existing air pollution cause the formation of more particulate matter from ammonia emissions. In addition, shipping volume over East Asia is far greater than elsewhere on Earth, compounding these negative effects.

In the future, the researchers want to continue refining their analysis. They hope to use these findings as a starting point to urge the marine industry to share engine data they can use to better evaluate air quality and climate impacts. They also hope to inform policymakers about the importance and urgency of updating shipping emission regulations.

This research was funded by the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium.

Plant based foods people claim are unethical/not vegan/proof vegans are bad/ whatever, ordered by least to most " legitimate".

Quinoa-One news article said foreigners buying quinoa would make a staple crop inaccessible to locals, this is stupid cause we grow crops to meet demand, also being from the Andes Quinoa grows in temperate places as well as potatoes do. Also, the locals already transitioned to a western diet.

Agave- The Greater long nosed bat is an endangered species that relies partially but not exclusively on Agave plants for nectar. Agave or "century" plants are long lived and die after blooming. They are mainly grown and harvested before flowering for Tequila production. a very small amount of wild agave in harvested for bootleg mescal in some regions. The main threats of the bats are habitat loss to agriculture, roost disturbance, and persecution as mistaken for vampire bats. If anything, the agave is threatened by a shortage of bats.

Figs- the inside of a fig consists of flowers that are pollinated by a fig-wasp, which lay their eggs in figs. Female wasps go on to lay eggs in other figs while males are trapped inside and are digested inside the fig. wild wasps obviously aren't harmed by fig harvest. and most fig trees grown today don't rely on pollination too fruit.

Cashew-The outside of a raw cashew contains a shell that contains anacardic acid, a major skin irritant. Workers are exposed to it when the outer shell is peeled before the cashews are cooked. workers are sometimes given gloves but not always, the only mentions of slave-labor I could find in the Cashew industry involved prisoners.

Palm oil- Palm oil has been the main crop behind the deforestation in Malaysia and Indonesia in the 21st century, but considering Indonesia's population size and rapid industrialization, the deforestation feels almost inevitable. Is far from the best oil (look at pongame oil trees, or algae) but it produces more calories per land area than the most dominant competitors like canola/corn/soy/coconut/olive etc. Additionally, though trace amounts of Palm oil may show up in many western products, it is mainly being used as a cooking oil in Asia.

Soybeans- Occasionally I'll see someone (presumably British) jump to soy as an example of an exotic food that is harmful cause it's imported. As an American I find this surreal cause soy is a boring standard crop, the second largest in land use after corn, mainly grown as the default legume for nitrogen fixation, but I understand an export market means an import market somewhere else. additionally, over 3/4s of soy is fed to livestock. Soy production alongside cattle ranching are major drivers of Amazon deforestation, but again most is fed to livestock. It also has a higher yield per acre than beans, peas or peanuts.

Rice- Rice is sometimes considered a major source of agricultural emissions, Rice is one of the most important crops, and the still water it grows in is a source of methane as anaerobic bacteria decompose matter. Since wetlands are generally considered better at carbon capture than dry land, I question rice farms net impact compared to other crops, and rice produces more tons per acre than wheat (though admittedly less than corn), so it is unclear.

Tea- tea is a very labor-intensive crop as young leaves are harvested by hand by workers, and slavery seems relatively common in the tea industry. having people walk through thick shrubbery, reaching hands in bushes, is a recipe for wildlife conflict. Leopard attacks on and venomous snake bites on tea plantations are an issue. However, all the tea in the west is just the powder at the bottom from actual tea production for the Asian market. so, it doesn't increase demand.

Chocolate/Coffee (not counting Kopi-Luwak)- I am lumping these two together because they are broadly similar in many ways. Both have very high carbon footprints, land use, and eutrophying emissions per Kg of food produced compared to other plant-based foods. both are primarily grown in former tropical forests, both contain high levels of caffeine and are neither produce nor staple crops, and both are well known to have very high rates of child labor and slavery in them for anyone paying attention. Thankfully these problems are well known enough that many certification schemes (Fair Trade, Rainforest alliance certified, bird friendly coffee, etc.) that can be used to guide purchases. If anything, I would prioritize coffee over chocolate because 1) assuming your already Vegan you're already selecting for higher end dark chocolate/specialty vegan chocolate that is likely better in other ways and 2) I am assuming most people consume more coffee than chocolate.

Almonds- 55% of the world's almonds are grown in the US. Almonds are sometimes scapegoated for water shortages, but Animal agriculture is far the main driver, and all nut trees are very water thirsty. Almonds need hot dry climates but the same is true of pistachios. More interesting is bees. only 2.9% of captive honeybee hives are in the US. 40.8% of Beekeeper profit in the US is from pollination service, with 82.2% of that coming from Almonds. Almonds may contribute more to bee exploitation per serving than other crops. avocados, blueberries, blackberries, canola, cocoa, cranberries, cherries, cucumbers, honey dew melons, kiwis, pears, pumpkins, raspberries, strawberries, and watermelons, among many others, are also pollinated by managed honeybees. because American honeybees are such a small share of the global population, and the share of Almonds grown in the US is so high compared to other crops, I do believe, but only with a low degree of confidence, almonds are worse for honeybees than the average honeybee pollinated crop. The good news is between new self-fertilizing verities catching on, pollination being 5% of an almond producer's production costs, pollinating machines, and native bee conservation measures, the importance of honeybees to almond production will likely gradually diminish.

Coconut- It seems that kidnapped wild southern pig-tailed macaques are used to produce nearly all coconuts in Thailand, being used as labor picking coconuts. The practice is likely present in other Southeast Asian countries as an American practically all coconut products I could readily access come from Latin America, but it's something it would be a good idea for Old Wolders to be aware of.

Why Retrofit Emission Control Devices Are the Future of Sustainable Power Generation

In a time when environmental issues dominate discussions around the world, The energy industry is under ever-growing demands to adopt sustainable methods of operation. The most exciting strategy is retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD). As the world struggles to reach its climate goals, RECDs have emerged as an affordable, efficient and environmentally sustainable way to reduce pollution caused by diesel generators (DG sets) and other industrial emissions.

What Are Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD)?

Retrofit emissions control systems are cutting-edge techniques designed to reduce the harmful emissions of diesel-powered equipment, specifically DG sets. They can be fitted on old equipment to make them more compatible with the latest environmental protection standards, making them an ideal solution for industrial and residential areas.

RECDs are designed to capture and remove harmful pollutants like particles (PM) as well as Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) along non-burned hydrocarbons (HC). Technologies like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) as well as Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) are often employed within these devices to guarantee effective emission control.

The Growing Need for Sustainable Solutions

As industrialization and urbanization grow at unprecedented speeds, the need for diesel generators has risen. The DG sets are vital for uninterrupted power supply, particularly in regions with unreliable electrical grids. They are, however, major contributors to air pollution.

According to research, the diesel engine accounts for a significant portion of PM or NOx pollution that is believed to trigger respiratory problems and cardiovascular illnesses and is a major contributor to climate change. Environmental agencies and governments are increasingly adopting strict emission rules to limit the impact of these emissions. RECDs are a feasible and easily scalable method for companies to comply with the regulations without replacing their current infrastructure.

Key Benefits of Retrofit Emission Control Devices

1. Cost-Effectiveness

Replacing old diesel generators with modern green models could be costly. RECDs are a viable alternative that allows you to upgrade your existing system to comply with emission standards. This means there is no necessity for expensive replacements while providing the same environmental advantages.

2. Environmental Impact

RECDs drastically reduce the release of harmful pollutants and contribute to healthier air and a cleaner environment. By reducing the amount of particulate matter in the air and greenhouse gas emissions, they play a crucial role in reducing climate change and improving public health.

3. Regulatory Compliance

Several countries have implemented strict emission standards, including Bharat Stage (BS) standards in India and Euro standards in Europe. Failure to comply with these regulations could be punished with severe sanctions. Installing RECDs assures companies abide by the legal requirements, thus avoiding penalties and improving their image as responsible and environmentally conscious organizations.

4. Flexibility and Scalability

RECDs can be adapted to fit different sizes and types of diesel engines, resulting in an ideal solution for various industries, from healthcare to manufacturing. The modular design allows for quick upgrades, and ensures longevity of adaptability to ever-changing emission standards.

5. Quick Implementation

In contrast to replacing the entire generator, retrofitting an emission controller is quicker. This reduces the time it takes to repair and disrupt business activities, making it a viable option for companies with high demands for operational efficiency.

How RECDs Contribute to Sustainable Power Generation

Sustainable power generation seeks to meet the growing energy demands while minimizing environmental impact. In cutting down on emissions from diesel engines RECDs comply with this ideal. Here are a few ways RECDs help to promote sustainability:

By extending the Lifespan of Equipment by Retrofitting existing generators, businesses can increase the efficiency of their equipment while cutting down on the necessity for new manufacturing and the environmental cost associated with it.

Helping to support the transition to renewable energy As renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are gaining popularity, diesel generators remain essential to provide backup power. RECDs help ensure that this transitional period is not as damaging to the environment.

Encouragement of Circular Economy Retrofitting is the shift away from the "take-make-dispose" model to a more sustainable model in which resources are repurposed.

Industry Adoption and Success Stories

Industries worldwide are becoming aware of their potential RECDs to create sustainable businesses. For example:

Health Sector Hospitals depend heavily on diesel generators for continuous power supply. The installation of RECDs has allowed numerous healthcare facilities to cut down on their carbon footprint and comply with strict environmental regulations.

Manufacturing plants Industries in the heavy industry have embraced RECDs to comply with local emission regulations while ensuring the efficiency of their operations.

Cities Infrastructure Municipalities have been retrofitting DG sets used in wastewater treatment facilities, waste management facilities, and public transportation networks. This contributes to cleaner cities.

Challenges and the Road Ahead

Although the advantages of RECDs cannot be denied, their use is not without obstacles. Although the initial costs are less than complete replacement could still pose a problem for small companies. Furthermore, RECDs' efficiency depends on regular maintenance and compliance with the operational guidelines.

Technology advancements and incentives from the government have made these devices more affordable. Tax benefits, subsidies as well as awareness campaigns may increase their use. Collaboration between private and public sectors will play an essential role in overcoming these obstacles.

Why RECDs Are the Future

The shift to green power generation is not an option but an obligation. As global energy needs increase, so does the demand for solutions that reduce environmental damage. Retrofit Emission Control Devices help bridge the gap between our dependence on diesel generators and a greener future.

Through addressing the environmental effects of infrastructure in place, RECDs offer a practical affordable, scalable, and economical path to sustainable development. Their capacity to decrease harmful emissions, adhere to the regulations, and help create the concept of a circular economy makes them vital in combatting a sustainable climate.

Conclusion

The future of renewable power generation is in the development of innovative technologies such as retrofit emissions Control devices (RECD). As governments and industry cooperate to build a more sustainable world, RECDs effectively reduce emissions without compromising efficiency. When investing in RECDs, firms can help preserve the environment and establish themselves as a leader in sustainability.

The adoption of RECDs is more than just an environmental responsibility. It's a step toward a healthier, cleaner and more sustainable future. Let's take action now to ensure a better tomorrow.

How to Select the Right Magnesia Crucible for Your Needs

Selecting the right magnesia crucible for your needs involves evaluating several critical factors, including temperature tolerance, chemical compatibility, and application-specific requirements. Here’s a guide to help you make the best choice:

Purity of Magnesia

High-Purity Crucibles (99.5% or above): These are ideal for applications requiring minimal contamination, such as in high-purity metal processing or chemical analysis. High-purity magnesia ensures that the crucible does not introduce impurities into your sample.

Lower-Purity Crucibles (95-98%): Suitable for less demanding applications where contamination is less of a concern. These are more affordable and are used in less critical processes.

Temperature Tolerance

Maximum Operating Temperature: Magnesia crucibles can withstand temperatures up to 2,200°C. Ensure that the crucible’s temperature limit matches or exceeds the temperatures expected in your process.

For applications involving extreme temperatures, such as high-temperature metal melting, go for the highest-rated magnesia crucibles.

For lower-temperature applications, such as ceramic synthesis, a standard magnesia crucible may suffice.

Chemical Compatibility

Basic Environments: Magnesia crucibles are particularly resistant to attack by basic substances and alkaline fluxes. If your application involves processing alkaline materials, these crucibles are an ideal choice.

Reactivity with Acids: Magnesia crucibles are less resistant to acidic environments, so avoid using them with acidic materials or highly corrosive substances. If your process involves acids, consider an alternative crucible material like alumina.

Application Type

Metal Melting and Casting: Magnesia crucibles are excellent for melting reactive and refractory metals like uranium, thorium, titanium, and platinum. Their low reactivity helps avoid contamination and ensures product purity.

Ceramic Synthesis: They are well-suited for synthesizing oxides and non-oxide ceramics. The crucible’s thermal stability allows for consistent heating during the firing process.

Chemical Analysis: For applications requiring trace element analysis or high-purity results, select a high-purity magnesia crucible to minimize contamination.

Crucible Size and Shape

Volume Requirements: Choose the size of the crucible based on the volume of material you will be working with. Crucibles come in a variety of sizes, from small volumes for laboratory analysis to larger volumes for industrial-scale processes.

Shape Considerations:

Tall Cylindrical Crucibles: Better suited for processes requiring uniform heat distribution over tall objects.

Shallow, Wide Crucibles: Ideal for applications requiring easy access to the sample or for processes that involve stirring or evaporation.

Thermal Shock Resistance

Temperature Cycling: If your process involves rapid temperature changes, ensure the magnesia crucible has good thermal shock resistance. Sudden heating or cooling can cause some crucibles to crack, but magnesia typically handles gradual temperature changes well.

Mechanical Strength

While magnesia crucibles are generally durable at high temperatures, their mechanical strength may be lower compared to materials like alumina or zirconia. Consider the physical stress and load that the crucible will undergo in your application.

For processes with high mechanical loads, select a thicker-walled magnesia crucible.

Compatibility with Atmosphere

Oxidizing and Reducing Atmospheres: Ensure that the magnesia crucible can perform well in your specific atmosphere. Magnesia crucibles are stable in both oxidizing and reducing environments, making them versatile for various high-temperature processes.

The Future of Effluent Treatment Plants in the Era of Sustainability

In an age where sustainability has become a central theme across industries, the role of effluent treatment plants (ETPs) is evolving. Traditionally, ETPs were seen as necessary infrastructure for treating wastewater before releasing it into the environment. However, as environmental concerns grow and industries are under increasing pressure to minimize their ecological footprint, the future of effluent treatment is taking on a more dynamic and innovative approach. Effluent treatment plants are not just about treating waste—they are now integral to achieving sustainability goals, reducing resource consumption, and promoting circular economy principles.

1. Adopting Energy-Efficient Technologies

As energy consumption remains a significant concern for industries, the future of effluent treatment will rely heavily on energy-efficient technologies. Modern ETPs are being designed with systems that minimize energy use while ensuring effective treatment. Technologies like membrane bioreactors (MBRs) and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are gaining traction for their energy-saving potential. Additionally, many plants are integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar or biogas, to power their operations, making them self-sustaining.

One notable advancement is the development of "energy-positive" effluent treatment plants, which not only treat wastewater but also generate more energy than they consume. This is achieved by harnessing the biogas produced during the treatment process and using it to generate electricity or heat, further reducing reliance on external energy sources.

2. Resource Recovery and Circular Economy

In the future, effluent treatment plants will be more than just wastewater treatment facilities. They will evolve into resource recovery centers, helping industries and municipalities reclaim valuable resources from wastewater. Instead of merely disposing of effluent, modern ETPs are designed to recover water, nutrients, and even energy.

Water recycling is already a common practice in many industries, but the future holds even more promise. With advanced filtration and membrane technologies, effluent treatment plants will be able to recycle and reuse treated water for non-potable purposes, such as irrigation, industrial cooling, and cleaning. This reduces the demand for fresh water, a crucial step in addressing global water scarcity.

Furthermore, nutrient recovery—especially nitrogen and phosphorus—will become a key function of ETPs. These nutrients can be repurposed as fertilizers, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, which are energy-intensive to produce and harmful to the environment.

3. Smart ETPs with Automation and IoT Integration

The next generation of effluent treatment plants will be equipped with automation and smart technologies. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), ETPs can be monitored and optimized in real-time, leading to improved efficiency and reduced operational costs.

Smart sensors can detect contaminants and adjust treatment processes accordingly, ensuring that only the necessary amount of energy, chemicals, and water are used. Predictive analytics powered by AI can anticipate system failures, allowing for timely maintenance and minimizing downtime. This will result in better resource management and ensure that effluent treatment plants operate at peak performance with minimal environmental impact.

4. Modular and Scalable Solutions

The demand for flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions is driving the future of effluent treatment plants. Modular systems, which can be easily expanded or upgraded, are becoming more popular, especially for small and medium-sized industries that may not require large-scale plants. These modular ETPs are customizable to fit the specific needs of a facility, allowing for more efficient use of resources.

For urban environments, decentralized effluent treatment systems are also emerging as a viable solution. These smaller, localized treatment plants are strategically placed throughout the city, reducing the burden on centralized treatment facilities and allowing for more effective treatment of wastewater closer to its source.

5. Reducing the Environmental Impact

In the future, the focus of effluent treatment plants will shift from just meeting regulatory standards to proactively reducing environmental impact. Modern ETPs are designed with the latest technologies to minimize the release of harmful chemicals and pathogens into the environment. Advanced treatment processes, such as reverse osmosis and electrocoagulation, will ensure that treated effluent meets stringent water quality standards.

Furthermore, as industries move toward zero-waste and zero-discharge goals, effluent treatment plants will play a vital role in closing the loop. By converting waste into reusable products, such as biogas, treated water, and fertilizers, ETPs will help industries achieve circular economy objectives and minimize their environmental footprint.

6. Regulatory Compliance and Public Awareness

As governments worldwide tighten environmental regulations, effluent treatment plants will continue to be an essential tool for compliance. Stricter discharge standards will drive industries to adopt more advanced treatment technologies, ensuring that they meet legal requirements and avoid fines.

Public awareness and pressure from environmentally conscious consumers are also influencing the future of ETPs. Companies are increasingly being held accountable for their environmental impact, and many are investing in sustainable wastewater management practices to maintain their reputation and meet corporate social responsibility (CSR) objectives.

Conclusion

The future of effluent treatment plants lies in their ability to contribute to sustainability by minimizing environmental impact, recovering valuable resources, and integrating cutting-edge technologies. As industries and cities evolve, so too will the role of effluent treatment plants in ensuring a cleaner, more sustainable future. By adopting energy-efficient technologies, embracing the principles of the circular economy, and utilizing smart systems, ETPs will not only treat wastewater but will also play a key role in shaping a more sustainable world. Effluent treatment plants are no longer just a regulatory requirement—they are becoming a critical component of environmental stewardship and resource management in the era of sustainability.

Designing tiny filters to solve big problems

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/designing-tiny-filters-to-solve-big-problems/

Designing tiny filters to solve big problems

For many industrial processes, the typical way to separate gases, liquids, or ions is with heat, using slight differences in boiling points to purify mixtures. These thermal processes account for roughly 10 percent of the energy use in the United States.

MIT chemical engineer Zachary Smith wants to reduce costs and carbon footprints by replacing these energy-intensive processes with highly efficient filters that can separate gases, liquids, and ions at room temperature.

In his lab at MIT, Smith is designing membranes with tiny pores that can filter tiny molecules based on their size. These membranes could be useful for purifying biogas, capturing carbon dioxide from power plant emissions, or generating hydrogen fuel.

“We’re taking materials that have unique capabilities for separating molecules and ions with precision, and applying them to applications where the current processes are not efficient, and where there’s an enormous carbon footprint,” says Smith, an associate professor of chemical engineering.

Smith and several former students have founded a company called Osmoses that is working toward developing these materials for large-scale use in gas purification. Removing the need for high temperatures in these widespread industrial processes could have a significant impact on energy consumption, potentially reducing it by as much as 90 percent.

“I would love to see a world where we could eliminate thermal separations, and where heat is no longer a problem in creating the things that we need and producing the energy that we need,” Smith says.

Hooked on research

As a high school student, Smith was drawn to engineering but didn’t have many engineering role models. Both of his parents were physicians, and they always encouraged him to work hard in school.

“I grew up without knowing many engineers, and certainly no chemical engineers. But I knew that I really liked seeing how the world worked. I was always fascinated by chemistry and seeing how mathematics helped to explain this area of science,” recalls Smith, who grew up near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “Chemical engineering seemed to have all those things built into it, but I really had no idea what it was.”

At Penn State University, Smith worked with a professor named Henry “Hank” Foley on a research project designing carbon-based materials to create a “molecular sieve” for gas separation. Through a time-consuming and iterative layering process, he created a sieve that could purify oxygen and nitrogen from air.

“I kept adding more and more coatings of a special material that I could subsequently carbonize, and eventually I started to get selectivity. In the end, I had made a membrane that could sieve molecules that only differed by 0.18 angstrom in size,” he says. “I got hooked on research at that point, and that’s what led me to do more things in the area of membranes.”

After graduating from college in 2008, Smith pursued graduate studies in chemical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. There, he continued developing membranes for gas separation, this time using a different class of materials — polymers. By controlling polymer structure, he was able to create films with pores that filter out specific molecules, such as carbon dioxide or other gases.

“Polymers are a type of material that you can actually form into big devices that can integrate into world-class chemical plants. So, it was exciting to see that there was a scalable class of materials that could have a real impact on addressing questions related to CO2 and other energy-efficient separations,” Smith says.

After finishing his PhD, he decided he wanted to learn more chemistry, which led him to a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California at Berkeley.

“I wanted to learn how to make my own molecules and materials. I wanted to run my own reactions and do it in a more systematic way,” he says.

At Berkeley, he learned how make compounds called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) — cage-like molecules that have potential applications in gas separation and many other fields. He also realized that while he enjoyed chemistry, he was definitely a chemical engineer at heart.

“I learned a ton when I was there, but I also learned a lot about myself,” he says. “As much as I love chemistry, work with chemists, and advise chemists in my own group, I’m definitely a chemical engineer, really focused on the process and application.”

Solving global problems

While interviewing for faculty jobs, Smith found himself drawn to MIT because of the mindset of the people he met.

“I began to realize not only how talented the faculty and the students were, but the way they thought was very different than other places I had been,” he says. “It wasn’t just about doing something that would move their field a little bit forward. They were actually creating new fields. There was something inspirational about the type of people that ended up at MIT who wanted to solve global problems.”

In his lab at MIT, Smith is now tackling some of those global problems, including water purification, critical element recovery, renewable energy, battery development, and carbon sequestration.

In a close collaboration with Yan Xia, a professor at Stanford University, Smith recently developed gas separation membranes that incorporate a novel type of polymer known as “ladder polymers,” which are currently being scaled for deployment at his startup. Historically, using polymers for gas separation has been limited by a tradeoff between permeability and selectivity — that is, membranes that permit a faster flow of gases through the membrane tend to be less selective, allowing impurities to get through.

Using ladder polymers, which consist of double strands connected by rung-like bonds, the researchers were able to create gas separation membranes that are both highly permeable and very selective. The boost in permeability — a 100- to 1,000-fold improvement over earlier materials — could enable membranes to replace some of the high-energy techniques now used to separate gases, Smith says.

“This allows you to envision large-scale industrial problems solved with miniaturized devices,” he says. “If you can really shrink down the system, then the solutions we’re developing in the lab could easily be applied to big industries like the chemicals industry.”

These developments and others have been part of a number of advancements made by collaborators, students, postdocs, and researchers who are part of Smith’s team.

“I have a great research team of talented and hard-working students and postdocs, and I get to teach on topics that have been instrumental in my own professional career,” Smith says. “MIT has been a playground to explore and learn new things. I am excited for what my team will discover next, and grateful for an opportunity to help solve many important global problems.”

Horticultural Assessment of Pechay (Brassica rapa) Grown with Fish Waste-Based Organic Fertilizer Fermented with Molasses

Abstract

Nowadays, great amount of waste is being produce in the fish markets and processing industries. This study aims to find out the effect of using fish and fish waste as organic fertilizer on the growth of pechay. The study was arranged in a randomized setup with three (3) treatments and three (3) replications, each treatment has 30 samples. Among the treatments are T1– 50g/5g, T2-150g/10g and T3– 200 g/15 g). The study uses the one-way ANOVA. Results showed that T3 has the highest total mean growth of 16.4 cm and 15.77 cm in length compared to T2 and T1. The size of the leaves recorded with 14.37 cm and 7.96 cm wide.  A 100% survival rate was obtained in all treatments. Significant difference was observed in the size of the leaves, other showed not significant results.  The result is a good potential for adoption, especially it would benefit to the local farmers.

Introduction

In recent years, the fish industry has generated a substantial amount of fish waste. Depending on the level of processing or type of fish, 30–70% of the original fish is fish waste. Circular economy and organic farming concepts were used to evaluate the potential of producing fertilizers from captured fish. Fertilizers produced from captured fish promote the recycling of nutrients from the sea and back to terrestrial environments. The nutritional composition of fish waste is assessed to determine the potential to supply plant nutrients such as nitrogen, or a combination of nitrogen and phosphorous, or to enrich a compost. In the research of Kenhudoy (2017) on the benefits of using fish and animal wastes as fertilizer, fish waste as soil fertilizer offers an organic solution and effectively provides nutrients to the soil for a blossom harvest. Even though some of the fish products have an unpleasant smell, they do have a lot of benefits for the crop, making them a healthy food source. Native Americans showed pilgrims how to use fish to fertilize their crops. From current findings, it is proven that the Native Americans were right about the benefits of using fish fertilizer.

Production and information about processing the fish waste were illustrated in the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI), indicating also the fishbased fertilizers industry and research in Europe. Converting fish waste like fish entrails into liquid fertilizer can be used to water or drench the plants. This liquid fertilizer could last for up to a year. The liquid produced in the fermentation process is called fish emulsion. The two main ingredients to make the emulsion are fish guts (entrails) and molasses. If molasses is not available, brown sugar is a good substitute. It is a sucrose product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. The methods used in the processing of fish waste to produce fish emulsion, fish hydrolysate/fish silage, fish compost, and digestate from anaerobic digestion or co-digestion are presented in the study of Ahuja et al. (2020). The accumulation of fish waste should be a source of concern because it can pollute the water (Kusuma et al., 2019). It can be turned into organic manure, which is beneficial to fish farmers and sellers who discard fish waste (Jayvardhan, 2020). It is essential to treat fish waste to minimize the environmental effects (Kusuma et al., 2019). If we can properly dispose of it so that it can decompose, we can create jobs and make money by selling the manure.

On the other hand, the culture of pechay (Brassica rapa) in the Philippines is one of the fastest-growing vegetable industries. It is an important vegetable crop and has nutritional value as well as good commercial value. One of the most popular vegetables among consumers is always available in the market at any time of the year. It is known as one of the oldest vegetables in Asia; it therefore plays an important role in the Philippines’ economy as well as in the nutrition of the Filipino people. Pechay is used mainly for its immature, but fully expanded, tender leaves. The succulent petioles are often the preferred part. It is used as the main ingredient for soups and stir-fried dishes. In Chinese cuisine, its green petioles and leaves are also used as a garnish (Gonzales et al. 2005). On the other hand, our government agencies like the Department of Agriculture encourage Filipino farmers to switch to an alternative and healthy way of marketing high-value crops to have a higher income. Several practices are being taught, like going back to basics and using organic fertilizers rather than inorganic or synthetic ones. Fermented fish entrails are another alternative medium used as a substitute for economically important and easy growing vegetables like pechay and sweet pepper in this study.

There are several studies using fermented fish entrails mixed with fish molasses (Rabia, 2022), and even decomposed seaweeds and the bark of pine trees have been documented. In the study conducted by Diaz et al. (2011) on the growth and yield response of bell pepper to fish fertilizer and fermented fish juice as organic fertilizer, they found that fish gill emulsion fertilizer is comparable to commercial or synthetic fertilizers. It may be one of the best fertilizers to utilize for growing bell peppers. The compost made from fish waste has the added benefit of containing potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Composting is a biotransformation process that involves microorganisms converting organic materials into stable and complex macromolecules. It can be used as a soil enhancement to increase the texture and fertility of the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers (Maja et al., 2019). This waste can be helpful and valuable fertilizer in agriculture (Jayvardhan, 2020). No foul odors were detected in the fish waste fertilizer (Maja et al., 2019).

Molasses is a primary by-product in the fermentation industry and can be used in the food industry, such as in distilleries, sugar production, and yeast production (Li et al., 2020). It was high in calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium. It also contains sulfur and a host of micronutrients (Susan Patterson and Master Gardener). Molasses has been used in the past as fertilizer on sandy soil and soil with poor structure (Pyakurel et al., 2019). Using molasses as a fertilizer provides plants with a quick source of energy and encourages the growth of beneficial microorganisms. When molasses is added to organic fertilizers, it provides food for the healthy microbes in the soil (Susan Patterson, Master Gardener). Molasses supplies carbohydrates and alters the C:N ratio, which affects soil microbial ecology, lowers plant parasitic nematodes, and provides other favorable effects on plant growth (Hilty et al., 2021). Molasses improves soil aggregation and reduces surface crusting in hard-setting soils (Wynne and Meyer, 2002). Molasses plant fertilizer is a great way to grow healthy plants, and as an added benefit, using molasses in gardens can help fend off pests. The fermentation process converts the solid substrates into simple molecules with the help of microbes. It is one of the promising technologies that converts fish waste into useful organic manure, an expensive resource for agriculture, without the formation of a fusty smell.

One of the problems encountered by some farmers nowadays is their inability to harvest crops on time and the low quality of the produce, particularly some leafy vegetables. Some fishermen also encountered challenges in the disposal of fish waste, which is very abundant in the locality. Many factors cause distractions in our world today, like pollution, inadequate solid waste disposal, global warming, climate change, and many others that affect our economic and environmental aspects. Our agricultural sector is widely affected by these problems. So, most of our farmers in the country use inorganic or synthetic fertilizers to boost plant resistance and improve or multiply their yield compared to the usual or natural cycle.

Fish are consumed as food in fresh conditions. Some of them are also utilized after the preservation. During preservation and processing, some materials from fish and prawns are discarded as waste. Similarly, some trash and distasteful fish are unsuitable for human consumption. These waste materials and the above fish become an important source for producing fish by-products, which in turn are used to produce different useful fish by-products. Organic agriculture or organic farming seeks to provide good quality and healthy foods while not harming the environment, maintaining soil fertility, and using synthetic materials. There is a growing demand for organic products in both local and global markets that is likely to be significant in the future. Fertilizers produced from captured fish promote the recycling of nutrients from the sea and back to terrestrial environments. The nutritional composition of fish waste is assessed to determine the potential to supply plant nutrients such as nitrogen, or a combination of nitrogen and phosphorous, or to enrich a compost. Methods used in the processing of fish waste to produce fish emulsion, fish hydrolysate/fish silage, fish compost, and digestate from anaerobic digestion or co-digestion are presented.

With these, siganids are the most abundant fish in the locality; with the common name of rabbitfishes, they are essential to reef herbivores that browse individually or in schools over the reef or feed on plankton within the water column (Nelson, 1994; Kenhudoy, 2017). Siganids' fish waste weighs from 10 to 20 grams per fish, depending on the size of the fish. It contains the nutritional contents found in rabbit fish, which are amino acids, fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and other essential minerals. According to the International Food Research Journal in Indonesia, samples of fish filleted without skin contained 77.79% moisture, 15.93% protein, 1.01% ash, and 0.93% fat. Rabbit fish also contained nine (9) essential and seven non-essential amino acids. Glutamic acid was the most abundant amino acid with a level of 1.983 mg/100 g. The eicosatetraenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (ARA) quantities were 0.54%, 6.45%, and 1.21%, respectively. So, these ideas trigger the researchers to use the fish waste as fertilizer in the culture of vegetables, particularly the pechay, which is considered an economically important crop because it is easy to grow, is available throughout the year, and is both an excellent source of different nutrients. This research study aims to determine the performance of pechay (Brassica rapa) grown in a container using fermented siganid entrails as organic fertilizer. This study also aims to determine the effects of using fish waste as organic fertilizer on the productivity of vegetable production. These could also have the potential for the replacement of other dried poultry manure from conventional farming in organic farming.
