This study aims to compare soy methyl esters (biodiesel) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as automotive fuels in Portugal using LCA. The potential environmental impacts (PEl) associated with their life cycles are compared for twelve impact categories. As a general conclusion biodiesel has lower total PEl than LPG. Nonetheless shows higher values of some individual categories such acidification, photo­ oxidant formation, terrestrial eutrophication, land use. results can be used support...

In this study, X-ray laminography is used to monitor the evolution of a model 3D packed bed porous medium on chip (micromodels) undergoing reactive flows. The obtained images are compute fluid flow patterns and develop insights into dissolution mechanisms. This study first proof concept with controlled micromodels, could later be extended towards deeper understanding precipitation processes occurring in media at microscale, mechanisms which relevant many industrial areas including catalysis,...

High pressure/high-temperature microreactors based on silicon-Pyrex® microfabrication technologies have attracted increasing interest in various applications providing optical access high-pressure flow processes. However, they cannot be coupled to infrared spectroscopy due the limited transparency (up ~2.7 μm region) of Pyrex® glass substrate employed microreactor fabrication. To address this limitation, alternative approach proposed work consists replacing by a mid-infrared transparent with...

We developed a disposable microfluidic chip which mimics the vapor diffusion method for exploring protein crystallization conditions but at nanoliter scale. This device exploits permeation of water through thin poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) layer separating droplets stored in and containing mixture proteins precipitants from an open reservoir. The chemical activity fixed by reservoir makes it possible to modify volume controlled way (reduction or increase). Because PDMS is only permeable...

SummaryConventional lab scale tools are adequate to access some experimental data related CO2 geological storage in deep saline aquifers. However, they lacking from situ characterization techniques, thus limiting the monitoring and understanding of various involved processes. Therefore, new methods needed investigate deeply fundamental mechanisms associated with these four trapping mechanisms. In this context, microfluidics approaches have bring several advantages over conventional means,...
