Box–Behnken optimization and ANN‐ANFIS integrated modelling for transesterification using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst

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 Social Entrepreneurship Perspective of De‐Carbonising the Footprint through Recycling Compensation: A Case Study of the NGO Madre Coraje

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research analyses the carbon footprint of the NGO Madre Coraje, using an integrated methodology that combines the calculator provided by REAS (Red de Economía Alternativa y Solidaria) Navarra and the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). It quantifies emissions across the three scopes of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, evaluating both direct and ...

Life Cycle Analysis as a Sustainable Governance Lever for Environmental Performance: Evidence From French SBF 120 Companies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study draws on neo‐institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the resource‐based view to examine the relationship between the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and firms' Environmental Performance (EP). Focusing on French companies listed on the SBF 120 index from 2002 to 2021, it investigates how LCA adoption influences EP across three

Governing Within the Constraints of Carbon Budgets: Regional Insights From Sweden

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Staying within the limits of a rapidly shrinking global carbon budget while avoiding dependency on negative emissions technologies and carbon dioxide removal remains a significant challenge in a multi‐level governance system, where resources and responsibilities are dispersed among different actors.

Evaluation of the Adequacy of Design Specifications for Nonstructural Components in a Reticular Structure

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Contribution of Free Fatty Acids to Emulsion Building and Stability: Understanding the Mechanism From the Case Study of a Crude Red Palm Oil (Elaeis guineensis)—Based Emulsion Consumed in Africa and Known as Achu Soup/Sauce Jaune/Ncha

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
In an aqueous alkaline medium, fatty acids (from the hydrolysis of triglycerides or freely present in the oil) are ionised in order to form emulsifiers (carboxylates) which will physically stabilise the prepared emulsion. The higher the free fatty acids content of the oil and alkalinity of the solution, the higher will be the stability of the prepared ...
