Experimental investigations on the dynamic fluid behaviour in horizontal absorber tubes with direct solar steam generation

open access: yes, 1999
For the control of the Direct Solar Steam Generation (DSG) Process, the state variable of the evaporator section as well as of the superheater section has to be measured. Furthermore, the knowledge of a simplified model of the system is of great interest.

Potassium hydroxide activation of microalgal biochar for improved adsorption efficiency

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Activated carbon was prepared from Chlorella by carbonization and potassium hydroxide activation, and its structural properties and methylene blue (MB) adsorption performance were evaluated. Raw Chlorella exhibited an adsorption capacity of 287.2 mg g−1, which decreased to 214.8 mg g−1 after carbonization.

Back to Nature or Technology to the Rescue? Climate Managers' Preferences for Investment in Carbon Dioxide Removal

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly looking into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a set of options to take past emissions of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Often two basic categories of CDR are distinguished: nature‐based solutions, such as planting trees or restoring wetlands, and technology‐based solutions, such as various forms of carbon capture ...

How Do Carbon Emissions Affect the Performance of Listed Latin American Firms? The Moderating Effect of Financial Slack

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the association between carbon emissions and financial performance in Latin American firms. The scientific literature on this topic is limited, with little evidence available in this geographical region. This study aims to address this research gap by testing hypotheses focused on analysing how Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon ...
