Environmental Quality Evaluation of Hard Coal Using LCA and Exergo-Ecological Cost Methodology

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
The world’s global economy is based on the access to energy. The majority of useful energy is still produced by combustion of fossil fuels that belongs to non-renewable natural resources. Besides the depletion of non-renewable resources there is also a problem related to release of waste substances into the natural environment.

Non Catastrophic Endogenous Growth with Pollution and Abatment [PDF]

When there are pollution externalities the competitive equilibrium is not Pareto-optimal nor environmentally sustainable even if abatment activities are endogenously decided.

Inert Catalytic Sites Unlocked by Micropollutants for Rapid Water Decontamination with Near‐Complete Chemical Utilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Micropollutants can act as molecular triggers that activate a newly designed and chemically inert Fenton‐like PKU‐24 catalyst for on‐demand singlet oxygen generation from peroxymonosulfate (PMS), enabling nearly complete peroxide utilization and selective micropollutant removal from complex real‐world wastewater.

Complexities of peroxyacetyl nitrate photochemistry and its control strategies in contrasting environments in the Pearl River Delta region

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a hazardous secondary pollutant and a nitrogen reservoir in the troposphere, while comprehensive studies on its spatiotemporal distribution, chemical sources, and control strategies are limited.

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Why observed and modelled ozone production rates and sensitives differ, a case study at rural site in China [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Ground-level ozone (O3) pollution has recently become of increasing concern in China. Studies have shown that conventional models often fail to predict accurately the net O3 production rate (P(O3)net) due to the absence of certain mechanisms ...

A Reusable Polymeric Sensor Based on Green‐Synthesized CQDs@ZIF‐8 for the Rapid Detection of Nitro‐Explosive Picric Acid

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study presents the rational design and synthesis of a highly luminescent polymeric nanocomposite. Initially, highly fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method using citric acid and β‐alanine as precursors, followed by rigorous purification through centrifugation and filtration.
