two continuously regenerating traps crt-a and crt-b were evaluated under the controlled carbonyl emissions from a turbocharged diesel engine run on an ac electrical dynamometer. the gas-phase carbonyls were taken in silica gel cartridges coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine both upstream (baseline) and downstream of the traps, and a total of fourteen carbonyls were identified and then quantif...

Background: Iran is located in the seventh rank in terms of CO2 emissions resulting from the fuel combustion in the world. Gas compressor booster stations, due to the several sources of contaminants, are causing the release of large amounts of CO2 and CH4, which will cause climate change therefore, estimating the emissions of the gases from oil and gas, different processing units are necessary....

this work presents a simulation approach to the design and economic evaluation of fuel oil hydrotreating processes for control of so2 and nox emission in an iranian steam power plant. minimum amount of required fuel oil desulphurization was calculated from the limit of so2 emissions of power plants in two different scenarios based on (i) european and (ii) iranian so2 emission standards. based o...

Introduction Conclusions References

nitrous oxide (n2o) has significant impact on global warming and leads to the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. agricultural soil is regarded as a major source of n2o emissions. in recent years, greenhouse grown vegetables have rapidly developed in china. although excessive fertilizer application in greenhouse vegetable production can result in increased n2o emissions, research data on su...

introduction earth's atmosphere plays an important role in preventing the temperature decrease. one of the principal factors of environmental pollution and the main source of earth's climate and biodiversity changes is greenhouse gas emissions from various sources, particularly agricultural sector. agriculture sector is considered as a major source of greenhouse gas sequestration, including me...

Background: Combustion of fossil fuels contributes to sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions. To deal with this issue, the government of Iran has appointed the oil refineries to upgrade their installations and produce high quality fuels. Thus, this study investigated the status of SO2 emissions in Iran and the capability of advanced technologies to control SO2 emissions. Methods: The status of SO2 em...

Vehicular emissions have increased considerably over the years with the increase in traffic. Modern roundabouts can improve traffic flow as well as cut down vehicular emissions and fuel consumption by reducing the vehicle idle time at intersections and thereby creating a positive impact on the environment. The primary focus of this research is to study the impact of modern roundabouts in cuttin...

population growth and increasing industrial and agricultural activities that cause ghg emissions and risk from environmental management is a serious challenge. in this research, the ghg emissions from peanut production as a potential feedstock for biodiesel fuel was investigated. data were collected through interviews with 75 peanut farmers. the cultivated areas were divided into three categori...
