Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to examine the impact of corruption control, as a public institutional mechanism, on hazardous waste emissions of private sector entities. We also examine the extent to which Agenda 2030 moderates the relationship. We analyse data from the top 500 global companies.

Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.The ignition and combustion of particle clouds are strongly affected by particle interactions. This study uses spectroscopy to examine effects of particle size, water content, and cloud density. Results show ignition delay rises with larger size and density, whereas combustion duration depends mainly on water and density due to moisture‐driven ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Global energy demand and environmental concerns have intensified the search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. This study thus, focuses on optimizing the transesterification process of waste cooking oil (WCO) using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst calcined at 850°C (BOF 850). The optimization and modelling were

A novel bubbling fluid bed reactor for the autothermal pyrolysis of waste plastics
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract A new pilot‐scale fluidized bed reactor operated under continuous conditions was developed and tested for the thermal pyrolysis of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). The study focused on assessing the reliability and operability of the system under different operating conditions (400–550°C), while monitoring mass and energy balances, product ...
