Industrial expansion depends largely on electric power generation for its operations. These industrial activities have contributed significantly to environmental degradation from frequent emission of large volume greenhouse gases. Concentration suspended gases in the air many cities exceed World Health Organization standards and effect human health can be devastating. Thus, utmost importance is...

This study tested the growth of three algal species (Chlorella sp., Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, and Tetraselmis suecica) using flue gas (generated by natural gas combustion). All the cultures showed poor biomass growth if they were exposed to continuous flue gas. To optimize the flue gas utilization in algal photo-bioreactors, we performed both model simulations and experimental analysis. First...

The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing and the company AirRobot GmbH & Co. KG cooperate to develop a flying remote-controlled measuring system. The system is capable of operating in a variety of scenarios of gas emission, e.g. exhaust gas from a chimney, flue gas in case of a fire, gas emission in case of an accident of chemical or hazardous goods or in case of a terrorist act...

Microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted tremendous attention because of their versatile structures and tunable porosity that allow almost unlimited ways to improve their properties and optimize their functionality, making them very promising for a variety of important applications, especially in the adsorption and separation of small gases and hydrocarbons. Numerous studies h...

In order to reduce the current costs associated with carbon capture technologies, novel materials such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks that are based on microporous networks are being studied. We have developed a GPU code that can characterize and screen a large database of zeolite structures and help identify the most e cient structures for carbon capture. The interactions between the...
