A system dynamics model to explore the water-land-energy-food-climate nexus in Latvia
Masia S., (Corresponding) Susnik J., Indriksone D., Bremere I., Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia L., Brouwer F.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water, energy, food/land use and climate are connected a system defined by complexity, feedback and delay, and are commonly referred to as the nexus which operates across scales. Therefore the characteristics of the nexus change depending on the scale being considered, the location, and the sectors...Read more

Comparative studies of the equilibrium adsorption of CO2 onto coal ash zeolites Na-X and Na-Ca-X
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Marinov I., Miteva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Coal-fired Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) are the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, but they also generate huge amounts of solid by-products, including fly ash (FA). A modern strategy for sustainable energy production is to improve the ecology of the TPPs by developing...Read more

Studies on the CO2 adsorption onto coal fly ash zeolites at elevated pressures
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Coal fly ash zeolites (CFAZs) of Na-X type were prepared by ultrasonic-assisted double stage fusion-hydrothermal synthesis from lignite coal fly ash at two different fusion temperatures 550 and 800 C. The detailed surface analyses were performed experimentally using N2 physisorption technique and...Read more

Topic:
Net Zero emission transition
Biocementation (i.e., the production of biomimetic cement through the metabolic activity of microorganisms) has attracted the vivid interest of researchers worldwide in the last decade. To date most research works and commercial products proposed biocementation using the urea hydrolysis metabolic...Read more
