Computational smoldering combustion: Predicting the roles of moisture and inert contents in peat wildfires
, Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, Vol: 35, Pages: 2673-2681, ISSN: 0082-0784Abstract Smoldering combustion is the slow, low-temperature, flameless burning of porous fuels and the most persistent type of combustion. It is the driving phenomenon of wildfires in peatlands, like those causing haze episodes in Southeast Asia and Northeast Europe, but is poorly understood. In this work, we develop a comprehensive 1-D model of a reactive porous media, using the open-source code Gpyro, to investigate smoldering combustion of natural fuels with an emphasis on the roles of the moisture and inert contents. The model solves the species, momentum, and energy conservation equations and includes heterogeneous chemical reactions. A previously developed 5-step reaction scheme for peat, including evaporation of water, is adopted to describe the drying, thermal and oxidative degradation during the smoldering combustion. The model predicts the transient temperature, species, and reaction profiles during ignition, spread, and extinction. The predicted smoldering thresholds related to the critical moisture and inorganic contents for ignition show a good agreement with the experimental results in the literature for a wide range of peat types and organic soils. The influences of the kinetic parameters, physical properties, and ignition protocol are investigated. This is the first time that a physics-based model of smoldering peat fires is developed, thus helping to understand this important natural and widespread phenomenon.

Differential thermal voltammetry for tracking of degradation in lithium-ion batteries
, Journal of Power Sources, Vol: 273, Pages: 495-501, ISSN: 0378-7753Monitoring of lithium-ion batteries is of critical importance in electric vehicle applications in order to manage the operational condition of the cells. Measurements on a vehicle often involve current, voltage and temperature which enable in-situ diagnostic techniques. This paper presents a novel diagnostic technique, termed differential thermal voltammetry, which is capable of monitoring the state of the battery using voltage and temperature measurements in galvanostatic operating modes. This tracks battery degradation through phase transitions, and the resulting entropic heat, occurring in the electrodes. Experiments to monitor battery degradation using the new technique are compared with a pseudo-2D cell model. Results show that the differential thermal voltammetry technique provides information comparable to that of slow rate cyclic voltammetry at shorter timescale and with load conditions easier to replicate in a vehicle.

Environmental management for dredging sediments - The requirement of developing nations
, Journal of Environmental Management, Vol: 147, Pages: 338-348, ISSN: 0301-4797Scientific research has characterized the effects of dredging, an underwater excavation process for navigational purposes or material extraction, and has shown its association with a number of chemical, physical and biological impacts. Due to this, much environmental management has been applied in the dredging industry in order to manage its detrimental effects. However, developing nations may have different approaches towards their dredging environmental management to compare to their companions with higher economic strength. Moreover, scientific evidence to make an informed decision is often lacking, hence affecting the number of research executed at these nations, limiting their efforts to preserve the environment. This paper reviews the dredging environmental impacts and its two important factors, dredging technology and sediment characteristic, that determine the magnitude of impacts through literature review, and discusses the need for a more integrated dredging environmental management to be developed for developing nations.

Application of Fe(II)/K<inf>2</inf>MnO<inf>4</inf> as a pre-treatment for controlling UF membrane fouling in drinking water treatment
, Journal of Membrane Science, Vol: 473, Pages: 283-291, ISSN: 0376-7388This paper describes some results of mini-pilot-scale tests concerning the performance of potassium manganate (K2MnO4) as a pre-treatment chemical prior to ultrafiltration. Manganate is an intermediate in the commercial preparation of permanganate and in aqueous reactions MnO42- can act as both an oxidant and a coagulant/adsorbent arising from the formation of insoluble MnO2. In addition, the combination of ferrous sulfate and manganate (Fe/Mn), offers a potentially cheaper and effective combination of pre-oxidant and coagulant compared to the chemicals used currently in water treatment (e.g. ozone, chlorine, ferric sulfate). In comparative tests with conventional ferric sulfate and using simulated raw water, the results showed that Fe/Mn pre-treatment substantially reduced membrane fouling in terms of the rate of trans-membrane pressure development (arising from both external and internal fouling). Fe/Mn pre-treatment was effective in reducing bacterial activity, changing the characteristics of organic matter and decreasing the production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) by bacteria. The external fouling in this process was determined by the EPS concentration, and the internal fouling mainly determined by the adsorption of lower MW organic matter to the membrane pores. Fe/Mn pre-treatment reduced the amounts of both types of fouling material within the cake layer and membrane pores in comparison to conventional pre-treatment with ferrous sulfate, most likely through the formation of solid-phase Fe(III) and MnO2 and by MnO42- oxidation, thereby leading to a substantial increase in membrane run time.
