Lee I.Y., Lee J.B., Lee S.M., Kim D.W., Kim M.H., Lee I.Y., Lee J.B., Lee S.M., Lee I.Y., Lee J.B., Lee S.M., Kim D.W., Kim M.H., Ham S.W., Kyungil University, KR

In the present study, the performance of SCR catalyst for the oxidation of mercury was studied to understand the mechanism of mercury oxidation on SCR catalyst. A variety of V2O5-based TiO2 catalysts was evaluated for [...]

Environmental CleanTechnology

Sapkal R.S., Sapkal V.S., Sapkal R.S., Sapkal V.S., Shinde G.B., Pune University, IN

“Green technology” or Clean technology is the application of the environmental sciences to conserve the natural environment and resources, and by curbing the negative impacts of human involvement. Our innovations have helped move the world [...]

The Status and Future of Methane Destruction Projects in Mexico

Lokey E., University of Colorado at Boulder, US

Of the Clean Development Mechanism projects that exist in Mexico, methane destruction projects from hog farms dominate the landscape with 56% of the projects developed and 49% of the Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) that will [...]

Removal of Zn(II) from Aqueous Solution by Biosorption using two Green Algal Species Oscillatoria sp. & Spirogyra sp.

Singh D., National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra, IN

Pollution due to heavy metals has become an environmental problem of worldwide concern due to their increased discharge, toxicity, non-biodegradable and persistence nature. Major anthropogenic sources of heavy metals include metal extraction, metal fabrication, metal [...]

Enhancing Combustion and Heat Exchange Through Electrical Augmentation

Goodson D., Rutkowski R., Osler G., ClearSign Combustion Corporation, US

We have observed that software-controlled propagation of insignificant amounts of electrical energy through a flame region enhances both combustion efficiency and the transfer of thermal energy in an electrically conductive burner and heat exchange system. [...]

Valorization of Waste in a Gasification Plant to Clean Power Production

Pérez-Fortes M., Bojarski A., Ferrer-Nadal S., Kopanos G., Nougués J.M., Velo E., Puigjaner L., Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), ES

This work presents a structured and validated conceptual model of an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant. A pressurized entrained flow (PRENFLO) gasifier, subsequent gas cleaning operations, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and [...]

By-product Synergy Networks, Driving Innovation through Waste Reduction and Carbon Mitigation

Mangan A., Olivetti E., US Business Council on Sustainable Development, US

By-product synergy (BPS) is the matching of under-valued waste or by-product streams from one facility with potential users at another facility to create new revenues or savings with potential social and environmental benefits. This presentation [...]

Conversion of Glycerol-rich Product (GRP) into Biopolymers

Freitas F., Pais J., Alves V.D., Carvalheira M., Costa N., Oliveira R., Reis M.A.M., Universidade Nova de Lisboa, PT

Glycerol, a byproduct of many industrial processes, mainly in biodiesel production, is generated in quantities far beyond current consumption in traditional applications, thus making it a residue for which interesting applications are lacking. The objective [...]
