Performance analysis of a pilot-scale municipal solid waste gasification and dehumidification system for the production of energy and resource

Enhanced moisture sorption through regulated MIL-101(Cr) synthesis and its integration onto heat exchangers

“…2 Existing studies have demonstrated how operation parameters such as air velocity, air specic humidity, water temperature and operation time inuence the DCHE's performance. 10,14,15,[22][23][24][25][26] Subsequently, suitable desiccants can be developed based on these working conditions. For example, the novel desiccant should be stable and have S-shaped type V or type IV water sorption isotherms within the target working temperature and relative humidity (RH) range.…”

“…27,28 Currently, silica gelbased desiccants dominate DCHE investigations. 9,[22][23][24][25]30,31 Being abundant and highly stable, silica gel is an economical desiccant. 26,32,33 Yet, silica gel is not an ideal desiccant because of its low water uptake capacity and low thermal conductivity which translate to its high heat of adsorption and requirement for high regeneration temperatures.…”

“…14,15,27 Lastly, the new and improved DCHE should be integrated and evaluated within existing systems. 10,12,25 Novel desiccants under investigation include those based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). With inorganic metal clusters and organic ligands arranged in specic frameworks, MOFs have large specic surface areas and hence many potential sorption sites for related applications.…”

Research Progress of Fixed Bed Dehumidification System: A Mini Review

“…The dehumidification device realizes humidity control and the refrigeration system realizes temperature control. The solid dehumidification device usually uses lowgrade thermal energy as the driving energy, including solar energy [6][7][8], waste heat [9][10][11][12] and so on, which greatly reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution [13]. Solid dehumidification devices can generally be divided into desiccant wheel (DW) [14][15], fixed (packed) bed [16,17] and desiccant-coated heat exchangers (DCHEs) [18,19].…”
