With the issue of the rise of anthropogenic CO2, global warming and rise of the primary energy demand, strong measures for the energy transition and the diversification with renewables and existing fossil-based infrastructure ...
In this work two research topics are presented: investigation of carbonation reactions of high – calcium waste materials and CO2 storage in coal. Firstly, sorption capacity of CO2 and CH4 of hard coal and associated ...
Among the platform chemicals that can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass, furfural (FUR) constitutes a promising intermediate that can be processed into a variety of advanced end products. In this thesis, the ...
The Barcelona metropolitan area (BMA; 3.2 M inhabitants) has an integrated urban water cycle management. Different type of treatment plants are located along the drinking, sewerage and reuse networks where specific treatments ...
Compton cameras are used for radiological imaging, which can be useful in environmental applications and especially in determining the position of hidden sources. Current Compton cameras are based on pixelated detectors ...
Neutron capture cross sections are fundamental in the study of the slow neutron capture process of nucleosynthesis, also known as the s-process, which produces half of the observed solar system abundances of elements heavier ...
The colossal risks and challenges posed by climate change require innovative solutions that must fulfil energy service demands sustainably. The concept of small-scale, biomass-based polygeneration (SBP) is one such ...
In order to increase the performance of particle colliders, it is crucial to make the beam sizes at the collision points as small as possible. This causes an increase of the beam size in the region surrounding the collision ...
The main theme of this work revolves around the CO2 molecule, a stable waste gas of low value, low energy and often available in large quantities in different places. This work examines some viable avenues for capturing, ...
