Challenges and opportunities of achieving European CO₂ transportation and storage specifications for carbon capture in the iron and steel industry

The application of CCS in the iron and steel industry faces particular challenges for achieving European CO2 transportation and storage in meeting CO₂ stream impurity limit specifications due to the unique and diverse composition of the steelworks off-gases targeted for CO₂ capture and the separation efficiency of proposed CO₂ capture solutions. This paper reviews the range and levels of compounds that could form potential CO₂ impurities in steelworks off-gases and provides estimates of the quality of CO₂ products obtained in primary CO₂ capture steps from Blast Furnace Gas (BFG) using different technologies of Pressure-Swing Adsorption (PSA) and amine scrubbing. Published CO₂ specifications from European transportation and storage operators are reviewed and compared. Additional suitable purification steps that are needed in order to reduce the levels of impurities from primary CO₂ product streams in order to achieve European CO₂ impurity limit specifications are identified, characterised and the associated cost implications discussed

Spin splitting and even-odd effects in carbon nanotubes

The level spectrum of a single-walled carbon nanotube rope, studied by transport spectroscopy, shows Zeeman splitting in a magnetic field parallel to the tube axis. The pattern of splittings implies that the spin of the ground state alternates by 1/2 as consecutive electrons are added. Other aspects of the Coulomb blockade characteristics, including the current-voltage traces and peak heights, also show corresponding even-odd effects.Comment: Preprint, pdf format only, 4 pages including figure

Impact of opioid-free analgesia on pain severity and patient satisfaction after discharge from surgery: multispecialty, prospective cohort study in 25 countries

Background: Balancing opioid stewardship and the need for adequate analgesia following discharge after surgery is challenging. This study aimed to compare the outcomes for patients discharged with opioid versus opioid-free analgesia after common surgical procedures.Methods: This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study collected data from patients undergoing common acute and elective general surgical, urological, gynaecological, and orthopaedic procedures. The primary outcomes were patient-reported time in severe pain measured on a numerical analogue scale from 0 to 100% and patient-reported satisfaction with pain relief during the first week following discharge. Data were collected by in-hospital chart review and patient telephone interview 1 week after discharge.Results: The study recruited 4273 patients from 144 centres in 25 countries; 1311 patients (30.7%) were prescribed opioid analgesia at discharge. Patients reported being in severe pain for 10 (i.q.r. 1-30)% of the first week after discharge and rated satisfaction with analgesia as 90 (i.q.r. 80-100) of 100. After adjustment for confounders, opioid analgesia on discharge was independently associated with increased pain severity (risk ratio 1.52, 95% c.i. 1.31 to 1.76; P &lt; 0.001) and re-presentation to healthcare providers owing to side-effects of medication (OR 2.38, 95% c.i. 1.36 to 4.17; P = 0.004), but not with satisfaction with analgesia (beta coefficient 0.92, 95% c.i. -1.52 to 3.36; P = 0.468) compared with opioid-free analgesia. Although opioid prescribing varied greatly between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, patient-reported outcomes did not.Conclusion: Opioid analgesia prescription on surgical discharge is associated with a higher risk of re-presentation owing to side-effects of medication and increased patient-reported pain, but not with changes in patient-reported satisfaction. Opioid-free discharge analgesia should be adopted routinely
