this study proposes a method employing thermogravimetric analysis (tg) to predict pollutionlevels by heavy metals (cr, cu, ni, zn, pb, cd and hg) in port sediments close to urban and industrial sitesfrom bay of cádiz. for this purpose, the thermogravimetric results of 14 sediment samples were recorded andshowed two characteristic ranges of temperatures (w1 as weight loss, %: 200-650°c) vs. (w2 ...

There is no single standard technique or methodology to characterize the size, structure, number, and chemical composition of airborne carbon nanotubes.  Existing analytical instruments and analytical techniques for evaluating nanoparticle concentrations cannot simultaneously provide morphology, state of agglomeration, surface area, mass, size distribution and chemical composition data critical...

The surge of face mask waste in response to the global pandemic has proven be a liability environment. Microfibers from plastic constituents would cause microplastic pollution water bodies. Fortunately, these could converted into renewable source energy via thermochemical method, i.e. pyrolysis. However, studies on thermal decomposition masks and their kinetic mechanisms are not well-establishe...
