Issue 5

Solid Waste Management

Conventional concrete is heavy which contributes to more dead load, resulting in higher cost of construction, more labour, difficulty in transportation of materials and so on. These impediments can be reduced by using lightweight concrete instead of the conventional concrete. In this study, an...

Promotion by Sodium in emission control catalysis: The difference between alkanes and alkenes in the Pd-catalysed reduction of NO by hydrocarbons

by

Yentekakis I.V., Konsolaki M., Kiousis V., Lambert R.M. and Tikhov M.S.

Issue 2

General

The activity and selectivity of Pd catalysts supported on YSZ and dosed with different amounts of Na promoter has been investigated for the reduction of NO by alkenes (C3H6) or alkanes (CH4). It is found that Na strongly promotes the reduction of NO by C3H6. Rate increases by an order of magnitude...

by

Benavides F. and Veenstra J.N.

Issue 2

General

The objective of this study was to provide a quantitative description of the impact of converting tropical forests into pastures for cattle grazing in terms of the sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations at the outlet of a river basin located in North West Costa Rica. The Soil and Water...
