This study addresses a significant data deficiency in the developing environmental protection framework of International Commission on Radiological Protection, namely lack radionuclide transfer for some Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs). It is also first that has sampled such wide range species (invertebrates, plants, amphibians small mammals) from single terrestrial site Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). Samples were collected 2014 0.4 km2 sampling site, located 5 km west Nuclear Power...

The main contribution of this paper relates to the development a systematic study involving set parameters which could potentially have an impact on geopolymer properties: curing temperature, type activating solution, alkali metal in incorporation slag (Ca source) and used. microstructures, degrees reaction, porosities compressive strengths geopolymers been evaluated. Geopolymers prepared with soluble silicate presented more compacted closed structure, larger amount gel, lower porosity...

Biomass chemical looping gasification (BCLG) is a novel technology that enables the production of renewable syngas without need for an external supply energy or power while achieving negative carbon emissions. In this work, behavior synthetic Cu-based (14 wt% CuO) oxygen carrier, Cu14Al_ICB, was tested 45 h in 1.5 kWth continuous unit using pine sawdust as fuel. The effect oxygen-to-fuel ratio (λ) and temperature on composition parameters, including fuel conversion, capture, cold gas...

This paper examines Pb concentrations and sources in soil, grass heather from the Rookhope catchment North Pennines, UK, an area of historical Zn mining smelting. Currently, has extensive livestock sports shooting industries. Risk assessment, using source-pathway-receptor paradigm, requires quantification source terms understanding many factors determining concentration plants. A paired soil vegetation (grass heather) geochemical survey was undertaken. Results showed no direct correlation...

Sewage sludge is an alternative source of phosphorus, but high metal contents limit its application. This study investigated the effect temperature, combustion environment (muffle furnace and bubbling fluidized bed reactor), Cl-donors use (singularly or combined) on heavy removal during thermal treatment sewage sludge. The highest rates were achieved primarily in muffle compared to reactor, with 850 °C being identified as optimal temperature. Moreover, single demonstrated higher efficiencies...
