Quality wool production at lower cost

, 1994
Low wool prices are forcing farmers to reduce their sheep management costs but, fortunately, cost cutting is not resulting in lower wool production, poorer wool quality or lessened sheep care on the best wool growing ...

Grafting Nanolayers of Ni and Co Catalysts Around the Edges of Hierarchical Zeolite 13X by Leveraging the Crystal's Defects for CO2 Methanation

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The deactivation of nickel‐based catalysts at high temperatures poses a significant challenge in CO2 methanation processes. To address this, a strong metal–support interaction between nickel and the support was engineered by exploiting the crystal defects present in hierarchical porous zeolite 13X.

CO2‐Driven Synthesis of Holey Edge‐Carboxylated Graphene for Tunable Electronic Interactions in Cu–CeO2‐Catalyzed Water‐Gas Shift Reaction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Holey‐structured, edge‐carboxylated graphene with a controlled specific surface area was synthesized using an environmentally friendly, CO2‐activated, KOH‐free ball‐milling process. ABSTRACT Graphene, notable for its high specific surface area, is ideal for catalyst support but faces challenges under harsh thermal catalytic conditions.

Fe–Mn Heterojunction Modulated Electronic Environment for Enhanced CO2 Capture and In Situ Conversion

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Fe–Mn heterojunctions in CaO‐based dual‐functional materials create a built‐in electric field that drives electron transfer. This process generates oxygen vacancies and facilitates CO2 activation, achieving superior conversion. Waste‐derived Fe/Ca oxides enable low‐cost, thermally stable materials, offering a strategy for sustainable carbon capture and

Hydroprocessing of synthetic kerosene over a non‐sulphided Ni/Al2O3 catalyst: Impact of alcohols and ketones on alkene conversion

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Synthetic jet fuel containing non‐petroleum‐derived kerosene can be produced from synthetic kerosene obtained through processes that include a hydroprocessing step. The potential use of non‐sulphided (reduced) nickel supported on alumina (Ni/Al2O3) was evaluated as an alternative to sulphided catalysts to saturate alkenes in sulphur‐free ...

A study of Ni‐Co/CeO2 catalyst derived from metal–organic framework for dry reforming of methane

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The efficacy of cobalt‐doped, MOF‐derived catalysts for dry reforming of methane (DRM) was examined. The focus was on the influence of varying nickel and cobalt molar ratios on catalytic performance. Three catalysts with Ni:Co ratios of 1:1, 1:0.5, and 0.5:1, were synthesized and tested with cerium oxide as a constant support. The DRM reaction

Digital Product Passports in Fashion: A Strategic Framework for Implementation

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the role of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) in promoting transparency, traceability, and sustainability within the fashion industry. As the fashion sector faces significant environmental and social challenges, including resource depletion, pollution, and unethical labor practices, the DPP offers a potential solution ...

Environmentally independent histological markers of wool quality: a comparative study of Gentile di Puglia and Sarda breeds

Frontiers in Animal Science
Wool quality plays a role in determining the economic value of sheep breeds, amid the growing global demand for natural and sustainable material. This quality depends on both genetic and non-genetic factors, complicating breed evaluation.
