With the rapid development of nanotechnology and widespread use of nanoproducts, the ecotoxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) and their potential hazards to the environment have aroused great concern. Nanoparticles have increasingly been released into aquatic environments through various means, accumulating in aquatic organisms through food chains and leading to toxic effects on aquatic organisms. Nanoparticles are mainly classified into nano-metal, nano-oxide, carbon nanomaterials and quantum dots according to their components. Different NPs may have different levels of toxicity and effects on various aquatic organisms. In this paper, algae are used as model organisms to review the adsorption and distribution of NPs to algal cells, as well as the ecotoxicity of NPs on algae and fate in a water environment, systematically. Meanwhile, the toxic effects of NPs on algae are discussed with emphasis on three aspect effects on the cell membrane, cell metabolism and the photosynthesis system. Furthermore, suggestions and prospects are provided for future studies in this area.

“…The resources of these sources are sustainable and viable to use [17][18][19]. The sources of biomass and biofuels are practically inexhaustible [18], and therefore the technologies based on them are being increasingly applied in practice [19][20][21][22][23]. The end product of the fuel combustion process is carbon dioxide.…”

The Influence of Droplet Dispersity on Droplet Vaporization in the High-Temperature Wet Gas Flow in the Case of Combined Heating

The change in the thermal and energy state of the water droplet is defined numerically. The influence of droplet dispersity on the interaction of the transfer processes was evaluated. In influence of the Stefan flow was considered as well. The internal heat transfer of the droplet was defined by the combined heat transfer through effective conductivity and radiation model. The results of the numerical modeling of heat and mass transfer in water droplets in a wet flue gas flow of 1000 °C highlight the influence of the variation in heat transfer regimes in the droplet on the interaction of the transfer processes in consistently varying phase change regimes. The results of the investigation shows that the inner heat convection diminishes intensively in the transitional phase change regime because of a rapid slowdown of the slipping droplet in the gas. The radiation absorption in the droplet clearly decreases only at the final stage of equilibrium evaporation. The highlighted regularities of the interaction between combined transfer processes in water droplets are also valid for liquid fuel and other semi-transparent liquids sprayed into high-temperature flue gas flow. However, a qualitative evaluation should consider individual influence of dispersity that different liquids have.

“…The emission of soot, ash and other solid particles during briquette combustion is practically zero. Despite these advantages, research is underway to determine the standards for particulate emissions below 2.5 µm [47]. However, the ash content does not depend on the burning process, but on the source of the biofuel.…”

The necessity of using renewable energy sources and limiting the current consumption of fossil fuels was emphasized, among others by changes in production technology. The approach of sustainable development in current energy systems is extremely important, especially in the case of plant-based fuels (biofuels). Poland is a country, where the share of renewable energy sources is still relatively small, and there are ongoing discussions on abandoning coal-based energy and the final shape of energy policy. In addition, the use of biomass from agricultural areas is not too large, although there is a potential for them in the sustainable biomass production plant and this would enable the development of the underdeveloped regions of the country. The most commonly used solid biofuel are briquettes made of vegetable waste, which, with the appropriate production technology, allow to obtain heat with a combustion value similar to that of hard coal. The article presents the preliminary results of laboratory tests of physical properties of fuel briquettes made of wood waste. The research was carried out on three types of wood shavings: pine, oak and hornbeam measuring their density depending on the type of wood and the size of the chip fraction in the pressing process. It has been shown that the size of the raw material fraction has an influence on the obtained density of fuel briquettes. The aim of the research was to determine the suitability of the studied waste wood materials for energy purposes for the production of briquettes. Attention was drawn to the fact that biomass for energy purposes is one of the steps to sustainable energy production and reduction of fossil fuel yield.
