Assisting effect of Al2O3 on MnOx for NO catalytic oxidation

Green Energy & Environment, 2021
Various Mn-based catalysts for NO oxidation were prepared using MnOx as active compound, while TiO2 and Al2O3 were adopted as catalyst support. The performance of the catalysts was tested to study the effect of support on Mn-based catalyst activity ...

The appeal of the good life: strategies for communicating sufficiency practices and policies

Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy
This article examines how sufficiency, an approach to sustainability focused on reducing resource consumption, can be communicated as a pathway to a good life rather than a call to sacrifice. Based on a representative survey in Germany, the findings show

A thermodynamic assessment of working fluids in ORC systems [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) is widely used to convert low temperature heat into electricity using organic working fluid. The performance of an ORC installation is influenced deeply by selected working fluid and operation conditions.

Modelling tidal energy extraction in a depth-averaged coastal domain [PDF]

, 2010
An extension of actuator disc theory is used to describe the properties of a tidal energy device, or row of tidal energy devices, within a depth-averaged numerical model This approach allows a direct link to be made between an actual tidal device and its

Utilization of milli-scale coiled flow inverter in combination with phase separator for continuous flow liquid-liquid extraction processes [PDF]

, 2016
Process-design intensification situated under the umbrella of Novel Process Windows heads for process integration and here most development is needed for flow separators. The vision is to achieve multi-step synthesis in flow on pilot scale.

Nanoscale greenhouse effect for promoting solar-driven CO2 reduction with water to CH4

Nature Communications
Improvement of solar-to-chemical energy conversion in photocatalytic CO2 reduction remains fundamentally constrained by insufficient utilization of solar energy, particularly low-energy photons.

Energy flow and the organization of life [PDF]

Complexity, 2007
AbstractUnderstanding the emergence and robustness of life requires accounting for both chemical specificity and statistical generality. We argue that the reverse of a common observation—that life requires a source of free energy to persist—provides an appropriate principle to understand the emergence, organization, and persistence of life on earth ...
