Carbon dioxide-enhanced metal release from kerogen

Scientific Reports, 2022
Heavy metals released from kerogen to produced water during oil/gas extraction have caused major enviromental concerns. To curtail water usage and production in an operation and to use the same process for carbon sequestration, supercritical CO2 (scCO2 ...

Recycling of Lead Pastes from Spent Lead–Acid Batteries: Thermodynamic Constraints for Desulphurization

Recycling, 2022
Lead–acid batteries are important to modern society because of their wide usage and low cost. The primary source for production of new lead–acid batteries is from recycling spent lead–acid batteries.

Uptake of 14CO32− by HCP (CEM III/C and CEM III/C + CaCO3) in the presence and absence of ISA and chloride [PDF]

RSC Advances
The retention of 14CO32− by hydrated cement pastes (CEM III/C; CEM III/C + CaCO3) was investigated in the absence and presence of isosaccharinate (ISA, 10−5–0.2 M) and NaCl (≈10−3–2.0 M).

Geological Disposal of Nuclear Waste: a Primer [PDF]

Elements, 2016
The back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle has become the Achilles Heel of nuclear power. After more than 50 years of effort, there are, at present, no operating nuclear waste repositories for the spent nuclear fuel from commercial nuclear power plants or for the high-level waste from the reprocessing of spent fuel.

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

Spent nuclear fuel management, characterisation, and dissolution behaviour: progress and achievement from SFC and DisCo

EPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2023
SFC is a work package in Eurad that investigates issues related to the properties of the spent nuclear fuel in the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle. Decay heat, nuclide inventory, and fuel integrity (mechanical and otherwise), and not least the related

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Geologically informed machine learning for neutron porosity reconstruction from legacy well logs: implications for high-temperature reservoir thermal energy storage

Geothermal Energy
High-temperature thermal energy storage in subsurface reservoirs (HT-RTES) can help balance seasonal heat demand and supply by storing excess thermal energy in subsurface reservoirs.

Lewis Acid Site Engineering in MOF‐Derived Aluminum Oxide/Carbon Composites for Dechlorination of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Oil

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlled carbonization of an Al‐MOF partially decomposes its linkers, exposing coordinatively unsaturated Al centers within an oxide/carbon composite. The resulting Lewis acid sites, rather than surface area, govern organochlorine capture: the composite removes chemically diverse organochlorines from waste plastic pyrolysis oil, outperforms a ...
