Modeling Of Amine-Based Co2 Capture Process, Zafar Safarovich Turakulov
Chemical Technology, Control and Management
A significant factor influencing climate change is the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as a consequence of human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels. Climate change can be slowed down by taking action to mitigate industrial-scale CO2 emissions. Currently, the most advanced technology for capturing CO2 from industrial flue gases is the post-combustion CO2 capture based on amine absorption. However, due to the high energy penalties of existing CO2 capture technologies and insufficient carbon markets, it is necessary to develop methods that compete with these technologies or minimize their …
How Moisture Content Levels And Packing Density In Soil Affect Crude Oil Spreads, Shaylin N. Williams
How Moisture Content Levels And Packing Density In Soil Affect Crude Oil Spreads, Shaylin N. Williams
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
Crude oil spills are one of the most destructive disasters that can occur, and they are extremely difficult to recover from. Many studies focus on what can be done to clean these crude oil spills, but more research should be focused on means of prevention. Currently, very little is known about how the moisture content levels and the packing efficiency of soil can affect an oil spill. These two factors alone can offer a variety of information to environmental agencies, manufacturers, and refineries. Through utilization of a chemical engineering lab, a recording mechanism, and ImagePro software, data was collected and …
Pollution Prevention In The Great Lakes Basin: Working With Pulp & Paper Manufacturers, Eugene Park
Pollution Prevention In The Great Lakes Basin: Working With Pulp & Paper Manufacturers, Eugene Park
Journal of Environmental Sustainability
In response to growing concerns over persistent toxic substances in the Great Lakes, new initiatives are in place to address and mitigate pollutant loadings to these large natural waterbodies. With support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and New York Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) worked with pulp & paper companies in the Great Lakes Basin in an effort to find solutions to reduce environmental impacts from this industry sector. Based on currently available EPA toolkits, NYSP2I developed and utilized an assessment tool called Lean, Energy, and Environment (LE2). Five different paper manufacturers …
