Corruption Control and Corporate Hazardous Waste Emissions: Cross‐Country Evidence and the Moderating Role of Agenda 2030

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.

Ceramics for high level radioactive waste solidification [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Ceramics, 2012
Several countries reprocess their nuclear spent fuel using the Purex process to recover U and Pu as MOX fuel. The high level radioactive waste (HLW) produced during this reprocessing is a complex mixture containing both radioactive (fission products, minor actinides) and non-radioactive elements. Since HLW shows high rate heat release and contains some

Low‐Carbon Energy Transition and Corporate Carbon Emissions: The Critical Role of Climate Change Mitigation Policies and Institutional Context

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the strategic efficacy of corporate low‐carbon energy transition, such as through nuclear energy adoption, as a response to decarbonization pressures. Analyzing an international sample of energy firms, we demonstrate that the relationship between this form of transition and emission reductions is not technologically ...

Peroxodisulfate‐Enhanced Leaching of Deep‐Sea Manganese Crusts and Sulfides

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Ammonium peroxodisulfate enables efficient leaching of deep‐sea manganese crusts and massive sulfides while offering electrolytic recycling. High leaching yields for V, Mn, Co, Mo, Sn, and W, along with complete leaching of As and Sb, highlight its potential as a powerful and sustainable oxidant for marine resource processing.

Insights into the mechanisms controlling the residual corrosion rate of borosilicate glasses

npj Materials Degradation, 2020
Borosilicate glasses are widely used to confine high-level radioactive wastes. The lifetime of these materials could reach hundreds of thousands of years if leaching of the glass into groundwater enables the formation of a passivating gel layer.
