Abstract. Understanding the sources of light-absorbing organic (brown) carbon (BrC) and its interaction with black (BC) other non-refractory particulate matter (NR-PM) fractions is important for reducing uncertainties in aerosol direct radiative forcing. In this study, we combine multiple filter-based techniques to achieve long-term, spectrally resolved, source- species-specific atmospheric absorption closure. We determine mass efficiency (MAE) dilute bulk solutions at 370 nm be equal 1.4 m2...
Abstract. Atmospheric simulation chambers are exploratory platforms used to study various atmospheric processes at realistic but controlled conditions. We describe here a new facility specifically designed for the research on bio-aerosol as well protocols produce, inject, expose and collect bio-aerosols. ChAMBRe (Chamber Aerosol Modelling Bio-aerosol Research) is installed Physics Department of University Genoa, Italy, it node EUROCHAMP-2020 consortium. The chamber made stainless steel with...
The disposal of wastewater resulting from olive oil production (olive mill wastewater, OMW) is a major issue for producers. This among the most polluting due to very high concentration organic substances and presence hardly degradable phenolic compounds. systems proposed OMW treatment are essentially based either on conventional chemical-physical, biological thermal processes, or membrane processes. With respect methods, processes allow separate different species without use chemicals heat....
Water reclamation is becoming a growing need, in particular developing countries where harvesting the required energy can be challenging problem. In this context, exploiting solar specifically tailored membrane distillation (MD) process viable solution. Traditional MD guarantees complete retention of non-volatile compounds and does not require high feed water temperatures. work, suitable amount carbon black (CB) was incorporated into whole matrix polymeric porous order to absorb light...
The optical thickness of the atmosphere, τ, was deduced from measurements narrowband direct solar UV‐B radiation. A measurement campaign organized to obtain radiation at three different sites, during month August 1999, using same methods and instruments, in order deduce atmospheric spectral range (280–320 nm). observation sites were chosen cover a wide conditions; located near tropical Atlantic Ocean (Natal, 5.8°S, 35.2°W), on Andes mountains (La Paz, 16.5°S, 68.1°W), biomass burning area...
An experimental study of hydrogen sulfide adsorption on a fixed bed for biogas purification is proposed. The adsorbent investigated was powdered hematite, synthesized by wet-chemical precipitation method and further activated with copper (II) oxide, used both as produced after pelletization polyvinyl alcohol binder. procedure aims at optimizing the mechanical properties pellet without reducing specific surface area. active substrate has been characterized in its chemical composition physical...
A polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactor was utilized to absorb CO2 from a gas stream into an aqueous solution. Three reagents were studied: monoethanolamine, piperazine, and potassium carbonate. Attention focused on the possible intrusion of absorbent in pores, which reduces solute mass-transfer rate. Membrane/liquid interface thoroughly characterized. The removal efficiency contacted with CO2/N2 assessed. It is shown that carbonate piperazine could be considered interesting...
Membrane distillation is a growing technology that can address the problem of water shortage. The implementation renewable energy and reduction in environmental impact membrane production could improve sustainability this process. With perspective, porous hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were prepared using triethyl phosphate (TEP) as green solvent, non-solvent induced phase separation technique. Different amounts carbon black added to dope solutions photothermal...
The perturbative configuration interaction approach based on non-orthogonal bond-orbitals previously used for dealing with rotational barriers is applied to the study of hydrogen bonding in linear water dimer. First and second-order energies are obtained terms static transition charge distributions fully accounting intermolecular overlap. Neglecting electron correlation, calculations include all single excitations from antibonding orbitals induction including exchange giving results close...
Carbon dioxide from a gas stream was captured in liquid water solution through polymeric membrane that provided the interfacial area between two phases. Three different absorbents (monoethanolamine, piperazine, and potassium carbonate) were tested, effects of their concentrations on CO2 absorption rate investigated. The containing piperazine showed best uptake, whereas carbonate least effective. This observation can be fully explained when physicochemical parameters governing process (CO2...
Magnetisation hysteresis measurements have been performed at T=4.2 K and T=77 on tubular samples of YBa2Cu3O7-y. There is clear evidence two loops. The first, very low magnetic fields, represents a total-body superconducting behaviour with shielding current circulating in the whole sample; second one, high single grains (or regions smaller dimensions). This model emerges also from various bulk magnetisation AC susceptibility measurements, as has pointed out elsewhere. particular geometry...
In this paper a new version of the generalized exciton model preequilibrium angular distributions is proposed to predict energy dependence inelastic neutron-scattering distributions. The Kikuchi-Kawai expression used for scattering followed "fast particle" in nuclear matter, whereby its full angle-energy correlation taken into account describe emission at first collision. For higher steps an energy-averaged kernel employed description changes direction fast particle on way inside nucleus....
