There are four strategies to combating global warming, namely by directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, or indirectly through expanding renewable energy employment, more efficient use of energy, a wide range climate policies. This study reports bibliometric analysis direct carbon dioxide emission reduction capture. The research trend in capture within the three main types technologies, pre-combustion, post-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion, was investigated using publications from 1998...
The microencapsulation of volatile phase change materials is an important and challenging area for low-temperature thermal energy storage. Our previous studies have effectively addressed the challenge long-term core retention also indicated that quality obtained poly(urea-formaldehyde) microcapsules highly affected by various process parameters, including reaction temperature, initial pH, time, homogenization speed. In this paper, Taguchi orthogonal array has been employed to optimise...
The microencapsulation of volatile phase change materials (PCMs) is very challenging to achieve high payload and excellent barrier properties. Our previous work indicates that the emulsifiers used in process offer unique properties formulated microcapsules. In present work, an assortment hydrocolloid synthetic were employed tackle reaction mechanisms encapsulation process. Microcapsules with exceptionally large payloads (up ∼95.6 wt%) produced core retention. effects deliberated, which it...
Phase change materials (PCMs) when amalgamated in a shell material to form microencapsulated-PCMs (MPCMs) usually exhibit high levels of supercooling due the limited crystallization process. In present study, various efforts were made reduce this phenomenon, including increasing MPCM size, employing nucleating agents, and embedding copper nanoparticles into shells. It was observed that with an increase microcapsule size from 43 μm 76 μm, reduced by value 10.2 °C melting/freeing point peak...
Tung oil (TO) microcapsules (MCs) with a poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) shell were synthesized via one-step in situ polymerization, the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) (1–5 wt. %). The synergistic effects emulsifiers between gelatin (gel) and Tween 80 observed, gel chosen to formulate MCs due its enhanced droplet stability. SEM images then displayed an increased roughness TO-GNP comparison pure TO GNP species on shell. At same time, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy...
In this work, tung oil was utilised as a catalyst-free self-healing agent, and an in-situ polymerization process applied to encapsulate the core with poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) shell. The conventional poly(ethylene-alt-maleic-anhydride) (PEMA) polymer compared more naturally abundant gelatin (GEL) emulsifier compare microcapsules’ barrier, morphological, thermal, chemical properties, crystalline nature of shell material. GEL emulsifiers produced microcapsules higher payload (96.5%), yield...
S20: A world less dependent on fossil fuels – scientific evidence and corporate influence. An ISEE Policy Committee Symposium, Room 315, Floor 3, August 26, 2019, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM About three billion people worldwide cook open fires or use dirty polluting fuels. Indoor air pollution contributes to 4 million deaths every year, more than HIV/AIDS Malaria combined, disproportionately affects women children. For without access modern energy sources cooking lighting fuel can take up a large...
