...e. Na, K, Pb, Zn, Cl and S) are investigated for three biomasses (wood, demolition wood and coffee waste) and six mixtures of these as pellets both with and without air staging in a laboratory reactor. In order to get a complete overview of the combustion products, both online and offline analytical methods...

...breakdown of liquid and solid insulation. This is important, as the electric power grid depends on reliable and cost effective insulation materials. Prebreakdown phenomena in liquid and solid neat cyclohexane, neat n-tridecane, n-tridecane with 0.1 M N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) and ntridecane with 0.1...

...both when they are undesired and can impair processes operation, and when strict control is required in fields such as food technology, the pharmaceutical industry and cryogenic CO₂ capture. We present experimental results and theoretical predictions for the solid-formation and melting temperatures of ice...

Negative emissions and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) at scale is required to offset hard to reduce emission streams and remove historic emissions from the atmosphere. CDR relies on and intervenes with the basics of earth systems such as the ocean, land, soil, and the atmosphere. This implies that...

...order), and rigidities (second order) have been shown to play an important role in the description of nucleation processes. This work presents general and rigorous expressions to compute these quantities for any nonlocal density functional theory (DFT). The expressions hold for pure fluids and mixtures...

...(SWCNTs), multiwalled CNTs (MWCNT-15 and MWCNT-30), and functionalized MWCNTs (hydroxyl, −OH, and carboxyl, −COOH), for the model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon phenanthrene (3.1−800 μg/L). The influence of phenanthrene adsorption by the CNTs on bioavailability and toxicity was investigated using the...

...fragmentation and the leaching of additive chemicals. The current study assessed the chemical content of freshwater and marine leachates produced from car tire rubber (CTR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microplastics, and their adverse...

...reservoirs for pollutants transported via the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the Bohai Sea (BS) and Yellow Sea (YS) play an important role in transporting microplastics (MPs) to the Pacific Ocean. The fate, sources and mass budget of MPs in the BS and the YS were investigated by Pearson correlation, principal...

...period fish are very sensitive to pollutant exposure, and short-term exposure during embryonic development can result in deformed larvae and increased mortality. Such early life stage mortality and sub-lethal effects can influence the abundance and health of adult fish populations, including species important...

...results of the forces and moments acting on a single propeller blade running in ventilated conditions in calm water and in waves. A model of a Rolls-Royce Azipull thruster with a four-blade propeller was tested with provisions to measure three orthogonal moments including spindle moment and two forces, on a...
