Enzyme-Enhanced CO₂ Capture in Carbonate Solution Using Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactors: A Novel Numerical Approach

by Khelifi Mohamed Nadir Saouli Ouacil Boutamine Zineb

Climate change

Due to the widespread use of fossil fuels, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, have increased dramatically. Through the simulation of a two-dimensional (2D), bovine carbonic anhydrase (bCA)-mediated mechanism, this work presents a novel approach method...

Improving Ozone Layer Depletion Forecasting with Hybrid Bi-Directional LSTM with CNN Classifier Model

by Ali JAVED

Air pollution and health

Due to the methane emission from the mining of coal and industrial byproducts including CFCs, depletion of the ozone layer causes raised global warming and worsens climate change. One chlorine atom can lead to the destruction of 1,00,000 ozone molecules causing depletion at a much faster rate than...
