Upcycling Space Structures (Preface to special issue)

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

The construction industry’s contribution to the deterioration of Earth’s ecosystem is huge. 11% of all anthropic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are due to the construction, demolition, and transformation of buildings and infrastructure. Construction an ...

In vitro acute toxicity assessment of tire tread particles using rainbow trout cell lines of gill and intestine

Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are generated by the abrasion of tires while driving, and recent questions were raised in regards to their potential contribution to microplastics released into the aquatic environment and their potential toxicological i ...

Upcycling of printed plastic films: LCA analysis and effects on the circular economy

Dimitrios Kyritsis

In this work, the environmental impacts caused by an innovative upcycling process of printed plastic scrap have been assessed through Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology for the first time. The process consists of removing the inks from the plastic surfa ...

ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020

Environmental impact minimization of reticular structures made of reused and new elements through Life Cycle Assessment and Mixed-Integer Linear Programming

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

An important share of building environmental impacts is embodied in load-bearing structures because of their large material mass and energy-intensive fabrication process. To reduce substantially material consumption and waste caused by the construction ind ...

Efficient reductive amination of HMF with well dispersed Pd nanoparticles immobilized in a porous MOF/polymer composite

Jeremy Luterbacher, Emad Oveisi, Wendy Lee Queen, Shuliang Yang, Daniel Teav Sun, Olga Trukhina, Vikram Vinayak Karve

Aminated derivatives of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural are critical intermediates for the pharmaceutical industry. The state-of-the-art catalysts currently used for these syntheses are mostly homogeneous in nature, motivating the design of recy ...

In Situ Formation of Frustrated Lewis Pairs in a Water-Tolerant Metal-Organic Framework for the Transformation of CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên, Fatmah Ebrahim, Serhii Shyshkanov

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) consist of sterically hindered Lewis acids and Lewis bases, which provide high catalytic activity towards non-metal-mediated activation of "inert" small molecules, including CO2 among others. One critical issue of homogeneous ...

Photosensitized Hydrogen Evolution on a Floating Electrocatalyst Coupled to Electrochemical Recycling

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta

Photoexcited protonated tetrathiafulvalene (HTTF+) was found to act as a photosensitizer, injecting electrons into Pt microparticles (floating electrocatalysts) to produce H2 and TTF•+ in acidic acetonitrile. In addition, TTF•+ was electrochemically reduce ...

Catalyst design for the transformation of CO2 into value-added products

Felix Daniel Bobbink

The mass-utilization of fossil resources has led to a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) production, most of which is released directly into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Efforts to contain CO2 emissions and to capture, store ...
