Impacts of CO2-induced seawater acidification on coastal Mediterranean bivalves and interactions with other climatic stressors
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2014 , Article)
The effects of seawater acidification caused by increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), combined with other climatic stressors, were studied on 3 coastal Mediterranean bivalve species: the mussel ...
Optimization of selection of chain amine scrubbers for CO2 capture
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
In order to optimize the selection of a suitable amine molecule for CO2 scrubbers, a series of ab initio calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. Diethylenetriamine was used as a simple chain ...
Relative sensitivity of soft-bottom intertidal macrofauna to increased CO2 and experimental stress
(
Inter-Research
, 2014 , Article)
We used a controlled CO2 perturbation experiment to test hypotheses about changes in diversity, composition and structure of soft-bottom intertidal macrobenthic assemblages, under realistic and locally relevant scenarios ...
A sensitivity analysis approach to identify key environmental performance factors
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely used in design phase to reduce the product's environmental impacts through the whole product life cycle (PLC) during the last two decades. The traditional LCA is restricted to assessing ...
Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide with aqueous solutions of l-Arginine, Glycine & Sarcosine using the stopped flow technique
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The use of amino acids as potential solvents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture has been considered by a number of researchers. However, very little is known about the kinetics and mechanism of amino acids-CO2 reactions. In ...
Gas Hydrate Prevention and Flow Assurance by Using Mixtures of Ionic Liquids and Synergent Compounds: Combined Kinetics and Thermodynamic Approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
The thermodynamic and kinetic hydrates inhibition effects of addition of synergents poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and vinyl caprolactum (VCAP) with ionic liquids 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium chloride [PMPy][Cl] and ...
Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide in aqueous blends of N-methyldiethanolamine and L-arginine using the stopped-flow technique
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Reduction of carbon dioxide emission from natural and industrial flue gases is paramount to help mitigate its effect on global warming. Efforts are continuously deployed worldwide to develop efficient technologies for CO ...
Synthesis and evaluation of copper-supported titanium oxide nanotubes as electrocatalyst for the electrochemical reduction of carbon oxide to organics
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is considered as the prime reason for the global warming effect and one of the useful ways to transform it into an array of valuable products is through electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (ERC). This ...
Larval hatching and development of the wedge shell (Donax trunculus L.) under increased CO2 in southern Portugal
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Noticeable changes in global temperatures, climate and ocean carbon chemistry are the result of carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere. This increase has been mitigated by the oceans capacity to absorb one-fourth of the ...
Corrosion Behavior of Carbon Steel in CO2 Saturated Amine and Imidazolium-, Ammonium-, and Phosphonium-Based Ionic Liquid Solutions
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This work presents a recent investigation on corrosion behavior of carbon steel amine and ionic liquid based carbon dioxide absorbents. The first class focused on classical amine solutions: monoethanolamine (MEA), ...
