In this paper the expected environmental impacts of industrial cellulose dissolution with ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (Bmim Cl) were analyzed through a "cradle to gate" Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). order weigh up "greenness" process, analysis was performed comparison well established friendly N-methyl-morpholine-N-oxide (NMMO)/H2O process. Although in Bmim Cl has not been used for production fibers date, results from LCA suggest that it could be interesting an point...
A “cradle-to-grave” life cycle assessment is performed to identify the environmental issues of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) produced through a hybrid thermochemical-biological process using anaerobically digested sewage sludge (ADSS) as feedstock. The includes measure energy performance process. system boundary includes: (i) Sludge pyrolysis followed by volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production; (ii) PHAs-enriched biomass production mixed microbial culture (MMC); (iii) PHAs extraction with...
Carbon dots (CDs) are promising photothermal nanoparticles that can be utilized in environmental treatments. They exhibit favorable physicochemical properties, including low toxicity, physical and chemical stability, photo-dependant reversible behaviour, environmentally friendly synthesis using benign building blocks. Here, we synthesized innovative CDs/polylactic acid (PLA) electrospun composite membranes for evaluating the removal of hydrophobic compounds like long-chain hydrocarbons or...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool to identify direct and indirect environmental burdens associated with products, processes services. A critical phase of the LCA methodology collection representative inventory data for energy material streams related production process. In evaluation new emerging chemical processes, measured are known only at laboratory scale may have limited connection footprint same process implemented industrial scale. On other hand, in already established...

When it comes to the circular economy, studies devoted religious built heritage focus mainly on interest of adaptive reuse buildings, e.g., recycling a building for new contemporary uses. The present study proposes go step further by deploying, first time in literature, life-cycle assessment (LCA) monastery-type located province Quebec, Canada. To this end, takes into account embodied and operational energy consumption greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions building’s entire life cycle, from its...
Zircon is the mostly widely occurring zirconium-containing mineral mined commercially. Thorium and uranium may substitute for zirconium in zircon crystal lattice. The radioactivity levels lies typically within ranges 500–1000 Bq kg-1 232Th 1000–5000 238U [1]. One of most important use as opacifier ceramic tiles. Body tiles a mixture different raw materials, including: clays, quartz materials feldspathic materials. body be glazed or left unglazed. Due to presence glaze body, can show natural...
The energy sector of the European Union (EU) is expected to progress fast towards a fully-fledged dependency on renewable sources. In such goal-driven approach, prospective assessment framework designed simulate environmental consequences engendered by gradual penetration novel biowaste-based technology in EU production market. This done building dynamic input-output model reflecting implementation over time, following future scenarios and hypothetical targets for (number plants operating...
