Two quantitative retrieval techniques were evaluated to estimate methane (CH4) enhancement in concentrated plumes using high spatial and moderate spectral resolution data from the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS). An iterative maximum a posteriori differential optical absorption spectroscopy (IMAP-DOAS) algorithm performed well for an ocean scene containing natural CH4 em...

The two-body purely translational, collision-induced light scattering spectra of CH4-CH 4, CH4-Ar, and CH4-Xe at 295 K are deduced by subtraction of the collision-induced rotational Raman scattering component from the total spectrum. For CH4-CH4, the zeroth moments of the total and purely translational spectrum are 205"4 ___ 14A 9 and 203"8 _ 14,~ 9 respectively. The CH4-CH 4 translational mome...

in this study, a novel solid dendrimer amine (hyperbranched polymers) was prepared using mesoporous carbon nitride functionalized by melamine based dendrimer amines. this adsorbent was denoted mda-mcn-1. the process was stepwise synthesis and hard-templating method using mesoporous silica sba-15 as a template. cyanuric chloride and n,n-diisopropylethylamine (dipea, merck) were used for function...

Ar/CH4/H2 gas mixtures have been used in an attempt to deposit nanocrystalline (NCD) diamond and ultra-nanocrystalline (UNCD) diamond films using hot filament (HF) chemical vapour deposition (CVD). A detailed composition map has been developed for the type of films deposited in the Ar/CH4/H2 system. It was found that the standard gas mixtures of 1%CH4/Ar (+1–2%H2) that are used successfully to ...

In a transformer, the insulation materials will produce different dissolved gases due to various faults in operation of which C2H2, CH4, and H2 are main gases. this study, adsorption characteristics above three on SnO2–GeSe monolayer surface were discussed analyzed based density functional theory. The energy, transfer charge, geometric structure parameters, electronic states, local function, ch...

The study of greenhouse gas emissions has become a global focus, but few studies have considered saline-alkali paddy fields. Gas samples and saline-alkali soil samples were collected during the green, tillering, booting, heading and grain filling stages. The emission fluxes of CO2, CH4, and N2O as well as the pH, soil soluble salt, available nitrogen, and soil organic carbon contents were detec...

Biochemical reactions that occur in sewer pipes produce a considerable amount of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S corrosive and poisonous), methane gas (CH4 explosive and a major climate change contributor), carbon dioxide (CO2 a major climate change contributor), and other volatile substances (collectively known as in-sewer gases). These toxic gases lead to contamination of natural environment, sewer...

Hydrogenotrophic methanogens are an intriguing group of microorganisms from the domain Archaea. Methanogens exhibit extraordinary ecological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics and possess a huge biotechnological potential. Yet, the only possibility to assess the methane (CH4) production potential of hydrogenotrophic methanogens is to apply gas chromatographic quantification of CH4....

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil and gas systems are an important component of the GHG emission inventory. To assess the carbon emissions from oilfield-produced water under atmospheric conditions correctly, in situ detection and simulation experiments were developed to study the natural release of GHG into the atmosphere in the Shengli Oilfield, the second largest oilfield in China. The ...
