Abstract:
... With the continuous development of nanomaterials in recent years, the application of nanocatalysts in catalytic ozone oxidation has attracted more and more researchers' attention due to their excellent catalytic properties. In this review, we systematically summarized the current research status of nanocatalysts mainly involving material categories, mechanisms and catalytic efficiency. Based on su ...
... The construction of the multi-energy system (MES) is regarded as one of the silver bullets that help construct a low-carbon and high-efficiency energy system. In addition to the synergy of multiple energy systems, the coordination of regional and district energy systems can further improve flexibility. However, current studies rarely focus on the joint planning of regional-district MES. Additional ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Freezing injury is a devastating yet common damage that occurs to winter rapeseed during the overwintering period which directly reduces the yield and causes heavy economic loss. Thus, it is an important and urgent task for crop breeders to find the freezing-tolerant rapeseed materials in the process of breeding. Existing large-scale freezing-tolerant rapeseed material recognition meth ...

Abstract:
... New advances in CAES have demonstrated the benefits of trigenerative concept (T-CAES), especially in off-grid sites. Many studies focused on thermodynamic optimization of design and operation parameters of the system. They underlined the importance of extending research objectives to techno-economic assessment of the system. The aim of this study is to investigate the T-CAES economical aspect, by ...

Abstract:
... Currently, the feasibility to replace standard efficiency electric motors with higher efficiency ones is assessed with considerations differing from real operating conditions in the industry. This study compares the feasibility of replacing 26 standard efficiency motors (IE1) with high-efficiency efficiency ones (IE2 and IE3) in a sugar plant, based on three different energy scenarios and consider ...

Abstract:
... A structure may show sign of deterioration earlier than its design life due to poor designing, change in the occupancy of the structure and the damage caused by abnormal and accidental loading. In order to avoid economic loss, the structural elements i.e. beams, slabs, columns are usually retrofitted and/or strengthened such that they can withstand the applied load during their operational life. A ...

Abstract:
... Stepping in the 21st century, the materials used in pavement construction have diversified and progressed with time. Due to an increase in the cost of materials, depletion of natural resources, and accentuation on environmental sustainability, the usage of recycled asphalt pavement material has become popular worldwide. However, there appears to be inadequate works and a gap in understanding the m ...

Abstract:
... Oil spillage is one of the most common pollutants which brings greater economic loss and damage to the environment. The intensity and amount of the damage may vary depending on factors such as the type of oil, the location of the spill, and the climatic parameters in the area. As for any pollution management, the guidelines are Reduce, Re-use, Recover and Disposal. Amongst the other remediation pr ...

Abstract:
... The economic loss and environmental damage caused by metal corrosion is irreversible. Thus, effective methods, such as coating technologies are used to protect metal surfaces from corrosion. In this work, cardanol-based benzoxazine (CB) was synthesized by a solvent-free method using cardanol, paraformaldehyde and n-octylamine. A cardanol-based benzoxazine copper polymer (CBCP) with good mechanical ...

Abstract:
... Utility exchanges between different plants have shown to produce large energy savings, extending the potential advantages of Energy/Process Integration through Industrial Symbiosis principles. Systematic approaches to determine such exchanges in industrial networks have been already proposed, although some of them are only applicable to specific situations and some others introduce the figure of a ...

Abstract:
... Paraffin wax deposition has long been a vexing problem in industry. Especially, in offshore oil production, paraffin wax deposits and clogs pipes and containers because of low temperature, causing severe economic loss. It has been known that the crystallization of n-alkanes mainly causes the deposition of paraffin wax, which is necessary to understand the mechanism of the crystallization behavior ...

Abstract:
... To better investigate the effect of the number of stacked packages on the seven‐eights cooling time and the specific fan energy consumption in forced air pre‐cooling (FAC), a three‐dimensional model of FAC in the stacked packages was developed. The predicted total pressure loss was less than the product of the number of stacked packages and the pressure loss of a single package. This was due to th ...
