A paramagnetic method of carbon dioxide analysis enables the simultaneous analysis of carbon dioxide and oxygen to be made at 2-min intervals. The method depends upon observing the change of oxygen concentration in a gas mixture before and after absorbing the carbon dioxide component. The carrier-gas in the experiments reported was nitrogen. The output of the paramagnetic meter was measured bot...

In this study, the impact of energy, agriculture, macroeconomic and humaninduced indicators on environmental pollution from 1971 to 2011 is investigated using the statistically inspired modification of partial least squares (SIMPLS) regression model. There was evidence of a linear relationship between energy, agriculture, macroeconomic and human-induced indicators and carbon dioxide emissions. ...

An electrochemical cell comprising a novel dual-component graphite and Earth-crust abundant metal anode, a hydrogen producing cathode and an aqueous sodium chloride electrolyte was constructed and used for carbon dioxide mineralisation. Under an atmosphere of 5 % carbon dioxide in nitrogen, the cell exhibited both capacitive and oxidative electrochemistry at the anode. The graphite acted as a s...

The increasing concentration of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere is causing a global environmental crisis, forcing significant reductions emissions. Among existing capture technologies, microalgae-guided sequestration seen as one more promising and sustainable solutions. present review article compares emissions EU with other economies, outlines EU’s climate policy together current proposed ...

Bio-ethanol production from lignocellulosic raw materials could serve as a sustainable potential for improving the supply of liquid fuels in face of the food-to-fuel competition and the growing energy demand. Xylose is the second abundant sugar of lignocelluloses hydrolysates, but its commercial-scale conversion to ethanol by fermentation is challenged by incomplete and inefficient utilization ...

The effects of frequency, tidal volume and added deadspace on carbon dioxide clearance were measured during high frequency jet ventilation at 1, 3 and 5 Hz in dogs. With a short, small volume deadspace, carbon dioxide clearance increased with minute volume at each frequency, but for a given minute volume the clearance decreased with increase in frequency. At 5 Hz, carbon dioxide clearance was l...
