Design in engineering and science has often been inspired by nature. This has been more evident in recent years, after a period during which our civilization thought in terms of taming rather than working in harmony with nature. The consequences of that approach are still with us and have resulted in a world increasingly homogenized, lacking in biodiversity and with increased pollution. Mankind ...

Air pollution represents one of the most challenging issues that humankind is facing. With the economic growth of emerging countries leading to an increase in the demand for energy, the prevention of air deterioration by means of controlling atmospheric emission has become an urgent task. The mitigation and strategies for traditional, but persistent air pollution problems, are also becoming an ...

The proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution, builds upon the prestigious outcomes of the 21 preceding meetings beginning in ...
Pure Essential: comparison with open column chromatography, focusing on separation efficiency, processing time, solvent consumption, and cost-effectiveness. Chromatography is a fundamental technique in chemical laboratories for separating and purifying compounds from complex mixtures. Among the most commonly used preparative techniques are open column chromatography and flash chromatography. ...

Achieve Superior Spray Drying Results. Spray drying is a versatile method for converting liquid solutions, emulsions, or suspensions into stable, high-quality powders. By rapidly evaporating moisture from atomized droplets using hot drying gas, spray drying precisely controls particle size, shape, and other characteristics -making it essential for pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, and advanced ...

How can Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) help drive better outcomes in the energy transition away from fossil fuels? What are the principal considerations for applying SEA to the major renewable energy alternatives? The International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) recently released ...
Together, Prof. James Willis, Dr. Clive Feather and Dr. Ken Turner possess 130 years of XRF experience. In this book, they have written about all of their knowledge concerning method development for EDXRF and WDXRF. Especially the commodity chapters dealing with the creation of application-dependent measurement programs for WDXRF instruments should be noted. There are recommendations for ...
The focus of this book is the practical use of XRF. Newcomers to the technique will find it extremely helpful, but also existing users will be able to expand their knowledge. Fundemental concepts are explained. Important data are listed in handy table form. Illustrated, step-by-step sample preparation tips are shown. Many examples of real-life sample preparation problems are detailed and the ...
Each book of the series Thorp and Covich’s Freshwater Invertebrates, Fourth Edition is developed to be the most modern and consistent set of taxonomic keys on the region. The design of the series provides a highly comprehensive, current set of keys in one place for each of these bioregions, with all keys written in a consistent style. This book can be used to the full spectrum of interested ...

The world’s economy is fuelled by energy. Energy policies and management are of primary importance to achieve sustainability and need to be compatible with recent advances in energy production and distribution. Depletion of resources and severe environmental effects resulting from the continuous use of fossil fuels has motivated an increasing amount of interest in renewable energy ...
Updated wastewater microbiology book for 2022. Includes new filament morphotype identification methods, troubleshooting strategies, and microscopy/DNA correlations. ...
Global material crises are imminent. In the very near future, recycling will no longer be a choice made by those concerned about the environment, but a necessity for all. This means a paradigm shift in domestic behavior, manufacturing, construction, and design is inevitable.The Architecture of Wasteprovides a hopeful outlook through examining current recycling practices, rethinking initial ...
When it was first published in 2012, Children, Citizenship and Environment correctly predicted a strong surge in youth activism as children are confronted by four difficult and intersecting challenges: dangerous environmental change, weakening democracies, growing social inequality, and a global economy marked by unprecedented youth unemployment and unsustainable resource ...
M75 presents the history and general application of elastomers in waterworks pipes, valves, and fittings. The principles used for evaluating, selecting, testing, and maintaining various seals will be discussed. This document provides guidance on generally available elastomers and their application. This manual will help operators, technicians, and engineers: - Gain a comprehensive overview of ...
This manual provides the user with both general and technical information to aid in design, procurement, installation, and maintenance of PVC pipe and fittings. This manual presents a discussion of recommended practices. It is not intended to be a technical commentary on AWWA standards that apply to PVC pipe, fittings, and related appurtenances. Topics covered include: general properties of ...
A large proportion of construction waste has a high recovery value, and some of the existing recycling-classification methods rely mainly on physical properties for vibration screening. In order to effectively recover construction waste, an industrial near-infrared hyperspectral camera is proposed in this paper to distinguish the spectral characteristics of the objects. The testing results were ...
The ineffective management of household solid waste (HSW) in most developing cities in Africa including Monrovia has become a major issue threatening the environment and public health. In response to these waste challenges, developed countries have embarked upon major environmental reforms, and have made advances in best practices and sustainable management of their Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). ...
Building on available evidence that there are differences of exposure to solid waste among men, women and children, it follows that effective solid waste management (SWM) policies need to recognise such variations, as a prelude to rolling out programmes to address associated socio-economic and health risks. However, this logical scenario does not seem to be the case in many middle- and low-income ...
Hydrated products, such as (hydrated) cement pastes, decomposition through physical-chemical alterations when submitted to high temperatures. One of the main factors that lead to microstructural changes during calcination up to 800ºC, is the dehydration phases of hydrated Portland ...
