Bridging Thermochemical Technology and Ecology: Research Progress on Utilization of Factsage Software for Environmental Applications

Factsage is a robust thermodynamic calculation software that enables simulation and computation of complex multi-component and multi-phase system reactions. It has a variety of application fields such as metallurgy, energy, and environmental domains. This article elucidates the key functionalities of Factsage’s diverse modules, including Equilib, Viscosity, EpH, Reaction, and Phase Diagram modules. Furthermore, it delineates the present usage and research progress of the software in the realms of air pollution, water pollution, and solid waste treatment. By predicting the thermodynamic properties of pollutants, their chemical reactions, and complex phase changes, Factsage provides a critical scientific foundation for environmental decision-making and optimization of waste treatment processes. It showed its greater contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development.
