Coal ash zeolite as a self-catalytic-chemisorption system for conversion of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
At present, the developments of sustainable carbon capture technologies are of the main scientific and technological priority required to mitigate the over generation of greenhouse gases. Three CO2 clean energy production approaches have been outlined: pre-combustion capture, oxy-fuel combustion...Read more

Moss-specific accumulation of atmospheric element deposition?
Dr. Nickel S., (Corresponding) Dr. Schröder W.
Topic:
Air pollution
This article presents statistical analyses of elements concentrations in mosses which were collected in 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2015 throughout Germany at 592, 1026, 1028, 726 and 400 sites, respectively, and chemically analysed according to harmonised methods throughout Europe. The evaluations...Read more

CO2 Utilization for Preparation of Carbon Nanostructures
(Corresponding) Giannakopoulou T., Plakantonaki N., Vagenas M., Papailias I., Boukos N., Todorova N., Trapalis C.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
The CO2 conversion to valuable materials is a challenging way to manage pollution problems. In the present work, CO2 was used as a feedstock to synthesize solid carbon nanostructures by employing a simple magnesiothermic reduction reaction under constant gas flow in a tube furnace. It was shown...Read more

Utilization of alkaline converted ash blends from lignite and biomass combustion for carbon capture
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Dimitrov M., Zabov E., Winter F., Popova M.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
The replacement of fossil fuels by renewable biofuels is one of the ways to limit climate change and improve the quality of the atmospheric air. For existing solid fuel combustion plants, a partial replacement of coal with biomass from wood or agriculture waste is applied. In this paper the effect...Read more
