Energy and environmental aspects of distributed generation and electric-vehicle integration from a LCA perspective. A case study in Mendoza, Argentina

(Corresponding) Arena A.

Topic:

Life cycle analysis (lca)

The energy sector is moving from a rigid, concentrated system towards a flexible, decentralized one enabling the exchange of energy between many actors. Distributed renewable energy generation is a key player in this new system, offering many advantages, but their intermittent character and the...Read more

Cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding the enzyme for the reductive cleavage of diaryl ether bonds of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in Geobacillus thermodenitrificans UZO 3

(Corresponding) Suzuki Y., Nakamura M., Otsuka Y., Sato-Izawa K., Hishiyama S., Kameyama K., Kameyama T., Takahashi A., Katayama Y.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

We have previously reported that a cell-free extract prepared from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans UZO 3 reductively cleaves diaryl ether bonds of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), a dioxin with the highest toxicity, in a sequential fashion producing 3’,4’,4,5-tetrachloro-2-...Read more

"Reliable in-Situ Sensing of Water Quality Parameters Using Low Cost Autonomous Analysers - Opportunities and Challenges"

Donohoe A., Hazel C., McCluskey P., McCaul M., (Corresponding) Diamond D.

Topic:

Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing

The delivery of platforms that can provide access to good quality analytical information on the chemical/biological status of water at an acceptable cost remains a formidable challenge, despite considerable efforts from the research community over many years. The relatively high cost of autonomous...Read more

Groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characterization of Khetri copper mining region, India

(Corresponding) Punia A., Siddaiah N., (Corresponding) Bharti R.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The impact of copper mine on groundwater quality in the semi-arid region is evaluated, and also characterized for hydrogeochemical processes. Groundwater samples (post monsoon and pre monsoon) from Khetri copper mine region of Rajasthan, India were studied. In majority of groundwater samples, the...Read more

Analysis of degradation of the micropollutant amoxicillin by photolysis and evaluation of the degradation products

(Corresponding) Hoehne L., Vettorello G., Ethur E., Kuhn D., Freitas E., Steffens C.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Emerging micro pollutants are substances that have recently been identified in environmental matrices, of which information on environmental permanence and toxicity is still scarce. Because of their chemical structure, antibiotics are more stable and require more complex processes for degradation...Read more

Toxicity study of Norfloxacin degradation by advanced oxidative process

Costa B., Cordeiro S., Schweizer Y., Weber A., Haas P., de Oliveira L., Ethur E., (Corresponding) Hoehne L.

Topic:

Advanced oxidation processes

Advanced oxidative processes (AOPs) are promising techniques that have been developed to treat and remove these organic contaminants in surface waters and effluents. The objective of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of products generated from UV/H2O2 degradation of solutions containing 5 µg/...Read more
