Leveraging Double Materiality as a Decision‐Making Tool for ESG Management and Reporting in Hydroponics

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and double materiality can be integrated within the agri‐food sector, with a particular focus on a company operating in hydroponic agriculture. This study conducts a comprehensive double materiality assessment to evaluate the organization's socio‐environmental ...

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...

Impacts of refining Canadian partially upgraded bitumen: Fluid catalytic cracking

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, we examine the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) performance of vacuum gas oil (VGO) from partially upgraded bitumen (PUB), a novel refinery feedstock from Canadian bitumen. FCC experiments were conducted in a lab‐scale FCC unit with VGOs from two different PUBs prepared using thermal cracking and solvent deasphalting, along with ...

Harmonizing Social Impact Assessment in the Bioeconomy: A Cross‐Regional Fuzzy‐Delphi Approach

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bioeconomy transition risks underrepresenting social sustainability, while existing Social Life Cycle Assessment (S‐LCA) applications remain insufficient for comparison and decision support due to heterogeneous and non‐standardized selection of social impact categories. This study proposes a cross‐regional baseline set of impact categories

Research on fluid-structure interaction of spent fuel storage and transportation basket

International Journal of Advanced Nuclear Reactor Design and Technology
The structural form of the spent fuel storage and transportation basket is different from that of the traditional rack, and the FSI parameters depend on the structural form.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

Droplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Experimental study on burning rate and flame geometry in construction tunnel fires under high geothermal conditions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...

Behavior of spent nuclear fuel in water pool storage

, 1977
Storage of irradiated nuclear fuel in water pools (basins) has been standard practice since nuclear reactors first began operation approximately 34 years ago. Pool storage is the starting point for all other fuel storage candidate processes and is a candidate for extended interim fuel storage until policy questions regarding reprocessing and ultimate ...
