Green Regional Aircraft – the European Clean Sky Program aims for greener Aeronautics

Kaulfersch E., Schüller M., Hammacher J., Rzepka S., Fraunhofer ENAS Germany, DE

The ‘Clean Sky’ Joint Technology Initiative (JTI, cleansky.eu) is an innovative European program aiming at massively lower impacts of air transport on the environment. The objective of the Green Regional Aircraft sub-project is to validate [...]

Heterogeneous Catalyzed Oxidative Degradation of Indigo: A Theoretical and Experimental Study

Luga C., Solís-Correa H., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Almost fifteen percent of the total world production of dyes is lost during the dyeing process and is released in the textile effluents. Removal of colour and organics by photocatalytic degradation is emerging as an [...]

A new model for toxicity of uranium dust

Zucchetti M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Depleted Uranium (DU) is mostly composed by the natural radioactive isotope U238 and it is a by-product of the enrichment process, that part of the nuclear reactors fuel cycle that produces the nuclear fuel to [...]

Green Remediation using Renewable Energy and Automation

Ambler M., Weston Solutions, Inc., US

The goal of the project is reduction of contaminants associated with gasoline at a retail fuel station. Groundwater gasoline range organic concentrations at the site were 500 mg/L prior to system startup. Advanced technologies and [...]

Sorption of Carbon Dioxide at High Temperatures by Slag

Tseng T.K., Chun K.L., Chu H., Chun K.L., National Cheng Kung University, TW

After industrial revolution, the increases of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere are resulted from the consumption of huge amounts of fossil fuels; hence causes global climate changes including temperature increasing and ocean level rising. Technologies [...]

Oil Production from Waste Plastics & News Paper using Catalytic Dissociation on Noble Metal supported on Zeolite

Lim D.-J., Kim M.C., Cheongju University, KR

Catalytic dissociation reaction of waste plastics and news paper was studied for oil production. SEM analysis were performed to find out crystal structure of prepared catalysts. GC-MAS analysis was also performed to find out product [...]

Recycling of Waste Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) into Feedstock Monomers

Siddiqui M.N., Redhwi H.H., King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, SA
