Biomass screening for syngas production by flash photopyrolysis

Hubert Girault, Mathieu Soutrenon, Wanderson Oliveira Da Silva

A few seconds flash photopyrolysis is used as efficient screening tool for the investigation of selected biomass in producing syngas, hydrogen and biochar. This innovative approach allowed rapid pyrolysis of the biomass, which was followed by a precise gas ...

Experimental testing and structural analysis of composite tile – reinforced concrete domes

Savvas Saloustros

Conventional formworks for concrete curved shells either are expensive, complex and wasteful or have formal restrictions. Using tile vaults (also known as timbrel, Guastavino, thin-tile or Catalan vaults) as stay-in-place formwork for concrete shells could ...

A systemic framework to categorize Circular Economy interventions: An application to the construction and demolition sector

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Valeria Superti, Cynthia Houmani

The Circular Economy (CE) concept has recently gained momentum as a perspective to tackle global challenges such as resource scarcity and waste management. Multiple types of interventions have been proposed to support the transition towards a CE. This pape ...

Form follows availability - Designing structures through reuse

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

This work proposes a new direction in structural design: the synthesis of structures through the reuse of elements. Reusing structural elements reduces the environmental impacts of building structures because it avoids sourcing new material, it reduces was ...

Valuing waste as resource: Mechanisms of change in developed and developing countries

Rémi Jaligot

The total municipal solid waste (MSW) generated worldwide in 2012 was approximately 1.3 billion tonnes. Were all countries to continue to generate waste at the current rate of high-income countries, total waste generation could reach 5.9 billion tonnes by ...

Transition of the Swiss Phosphorus System towards a Circular EconomyPart 2: Socio-Technical Scenarios

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Jonas Ramon Mehr

A transition towards a circular economy of phosphorus (P) in Switzerland is a multi-faceted challenge as P use is subject to a variety of influencing factors comprising policy interventions, consumption trends, or technological innovations on different spa ...

Combined Exergy Analysis and Energy Integration for the Optimization of Nitrogen Fertilizer Plants

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Shivom Sharma

Modern ammonia production plants are equipped with efficient energy integration networks able to recover an important fraction of the enthalpy of reaction released by the exothermic chemical systems. However, to fully supply the exergy demands of the highl ...

Measuring evaporation rates of metal compounds from solid samples

Christian Ludwig

A thermogravimeter (TGA, Mettler-Toledo TGA/SDTA851(e)) was connected to an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES, Varian Liberty 110) using a condensation interface (CI), which transforms gaseous high-boiling-temperature substa ...
