In order to contribute the decarbonization of economy, efficient alternatives coal and coke should be found not only in power sector but also industrial sectors (like steel, silicon manganese production) which are used as a reductant for steel production fuel. To this aim many research works have been focused on development substitute based woody biomass known "biocarbon". There still barriers overcome, among them: biocarbon low density, poor mechanical strength high reactivity. paper new...
The COVID-19 occurrence is causing a global request for effective measures aimed at mitigating the infection spread. Facemasks have been identified as an essential device people to protect themselves well others from aerosol containing virus. provide critical barrier, reducing number of infectious viruses or bacteria in exhaled breath. present review describes most relevant literature studies on materials and processing technologies used facemask development testing. Antibacterial antiviral...
This work represents the first attempt to analyze kinetics, thermodynamics and reaction mechanism of olive pomace (OP) waste plastic materials (PM) co-pyrolysis. Among PM, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high density (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) poly (ethylene terephthalate) glycol (PETG) were selected. Non-isothermal TG experiments carried out under inert conditions at four heating rates, namely 5, 10, 20 40 °C/min. The kinetic triplet for raw their blends was determined using...
The solid fraction obtained by mechanical separation of digestate from anaerobic digestion plants is an attractive feedstock for the pyrolysis process. Especially in case biogas fed with energy crops, this can be considered a lignin rich residue. aim study to investigate pyrolytic kinetic characteristics digestate. Starink model-free method has been used analysis average Activation Energy value about 204.1 kJ/mol, standard deviation 25 which corresponds 12% value. activation decreased along...
In recent years, the implementation of novel solutions aimed at improving thermal energy storage (TES) capability to both technologies and building-integrated systems has gained increasing attention. particular, application phase change materials (PCM) is currently gathering worldwide acknowledgment. this work, potential animal fat as a bio-based PCM having transition temperature around ambient assessed by means thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),...
