Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is launching a Special Issue titled “Marine Internal Combustion Engine Technology”. This Special Issue will focus on assessing the emissions performance, fuel consumption reduction and combination of existing and new technologies currently used or envisioned to be used with marine internal combustion engines that can help the shipping industry to be in line with the International Maritime Organization’s 2050 deep decarbonization targets.

We welcome studies that cover the broad spectrum of shipping industry decarbonization in relation to marine internal combustion engine technologies, including alternative green fuels (such as ammonia, biofuels, hydrogen, and methanol), dual fuel operation (either liquid or gaseous fuels), carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), and innovative technologies and operational strategies (such as combustion and injection strategies) that minimize fuel consumption in order to reduce key performance indicators (SEEMP, EEDI, EEXI, and CII).

We aim to collect papers exploring marine internal combustion technologies that aim to aid the shipping sector to decarbonize and thus satisfy the ambitious IMO deep decarbonisation targets, the Fit for 55, and any other legislative challenges in relation to GHG and pollutant emissions reduction.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

CaO-based adsorbent cycling carbon capture technology is an effective way to reduce CO2 emissions from marine exhaust gases. Metal-modified CaO-based adsorbents represent one of the important ways to improve the cyclic CO2 capture capacity. In order to obtain economical and efficient CaO-based adsorbents, transition metal (Cu, Fe, Co, Cr, Ni)-modified CaO/Y2O3 adsorbents were prepared using the sol–gel method. CO2 cyclic adsorption capacity tests were carried out in a fixed bed. The microstructure of the adsorbents was analyzed using XRD, SEM, and BET. The adsorption performance and cycle stability of the modified CaO/Y2O3 adsorbents were investigated in depth. The results show that the Fe-CaY adsorbent had the best adsorption performance. The initial adsorption capacity of Fe-CaY was 0.62 g/g at 650 °C, and the adsorption capacity was 0.59 g/g at the 25th cycle. Fe-CaY-doped samples with the largest pore size and specific surface area showed the best adsorption performance due to the contribution of macropores in the prevention of sintering. Fe doping can greatly improve the CO2 adsorption capacity and cycle stability of an adsorbent and also reduce the CaO-based adsorbent cycle temperature. In addition, the Fe-Ni-CaY adsorbent had the best adsorption performance among the bimetallic (Cu-Ni, Fe-Ni, Co-Ni, Cr-Ni)-modified CaO/Y2O3 adsorbents. However, compared with Fe-CaY, the adsorption capacity decreased. The reason for this might have been that the addition of Ni destroyed the rich pore structure between Fe-Ca-Y and the stability of the adsorbent particle structure, which led to the aggregation of CaO crystals and reduced the CO2 adsorption capacity. Therefore, the Fe-CaY developed in this study has excellent adsorption capacity and cyclic stability, which makes it a promising adsorbent for CO2 capture in marine exhaust gases. Full article
