description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Journal , Other literature type 2019 NetherlandsPublisher:Elsevier BV Authors: Fami, Hossein Shabanali; Aramyan, Lusine H.; Sijtsema, Siet J.; Alambaigi, Amir;About 25 million tons of food go wasted or lost in Iran which has socio-economic and environmental consequences for both the country and the households. The main objective of this research is to develop a model to examine the relationship between FCM components and the amount of FW of households in Tehran city, with a focus on urban women. By means of a structural model, this study provides a novel approach to exploring relationships between the food-related behavior of urban households and waste control (n = 1197). Besides, this study is the first attempt to quantify food waste in Iran at the household level. According to the adopted self-reporting procedure, in Tehran, every consumer wastes about 27.6 kg of edible food annually. It is found that households with better food consumption management (FCM (have a lower level of food waste. Moreover, the results have proved that other determinants such as demographic factors, economic power, information use, ability, and motivation have direct and indirect significant effects on FCM as well as on the amount of food waste generation. The findings suggest that the above-mentioned determinants are crucial and should be considered when developing a strategically sustainable food waste prevention plan.

Among different chromatographic methods, liquid chromatography is considered the least green, allowing for various possibilities for greening. Using green solvents such as ethanol or acetone in RP-HPLC, as an alternative to acetonitrile, is recently attracting an attention. Both ethanol and acetone are characterized with low toxicity, with certain drawbacks limiting their regular use in RP-HPLC. Ethanol has low eluotropic strength and causes high backpressures, while acetone shows high UV cut-off, making it unsuitable for UV/Vis detection. To overcome the existing problems, Corona Charged Aerosol Detector was employed for development of RP-HPLC methods for separation of risperidone and its structurally related impurities with either ethanol or acetone as organic modifier. The methods were optimized by experimental design methodology, while optimal conditions for separation were determined using Derringer's desirability function. Detailed assessment of 3D surface plots of Derringer's desirability function enabled selection of 0.6 mL min−1 flow rate and 20% (v/v) organic modifier content as optimal when using ethanol, while in case of acetone mobile phase flow rate was 0.8 mL min−1 and organic modifier content 17% (v/v). Methods were validated and their eco-friendly character was confirmed through Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI). Although both methods are ecologically acceptable, the main drawback is reflected in the fact that no recycling or another waste treatment method exist. In the end, acetone was prioritized over ethanol, due to lower health hazard and decreased amount of generated waste.

The experimental activity was carried out on a three-cylinder, 1028 cc, common-rail engine. Tests were performed with diesel fuel and a 20% v/v biodiesel blend (B20). The quantity and the quality of the waste heat energy were studied through energy and exergy analyses, respectively. Combustion characteristics were investigated by means of indicating data. Gaseous emissions were measured and particles were characterized in terms of number and size at exhaust. It was found out that the addition of 20% v/v of RME to diesel fuel does not affect significantly the brake fuel conversion efficiency and the energetic flows. On the other hand, biodiesel blend allows to reduce the combustion noise and the pollutants emissions in most of the operating conditions. A proper phasing of the injection strategy for the biodiesel blend could further reduce the exhaust emissions, mainly at high engine speeds. The results presented in this paper could be useful for the development of diesel engine based micro-cogeneration systems working at different engine speeds and loads.

Abstract The European Community is dedicating a growing effort towards the development of renewable energy resources market and in particular to bio-fuels. General public is now aware green biomass represents a local renewable resource, which is widely available on the territory and exploitable under environmentally sustainable criteria for an ecologically sound economic development. Generally, the problem is to evaluate where to concentrate the institutional action for the promotion of the renewable energy sector. The goal of this paper is to develop a methodology able to analyse the feasibility of the biomass energy chain. In particular, we have analysed two aspects: the availability of resources and the enterprise structures. While the first aspect is tied to the local situation (forest and agricultural areas), the second aspect has a general relevance for the Italian mountain context.

The current fashion design, production, and consumption system, known as ‘fast fashion’, is characterized by the manufacturing of low-quality garments in a short period of time carried out in developing countries. In parallel with the deficits in social responsibility and human rights, the prevailing ‘take-make-dispose’ system in the fashion industry is one of the main causes of environmental pollution that concerns the climate change, scarcity of natural resources and health problems for the living beings. Due to these facts, discussions on Circular Design strategies – for waste reduction, components recycling, and materials reuse – became increasingly relevant throughout the globe. This paper’s aspiration is to outline a perspective towards a Circular Fashion. The concept of the Design for Sustainability requires a holistic view throughout de-signing strategies as well as the establishment of cyclical systems for the production site. Notwithstanding, the efficient integration of social and cultural dimensions are vital for Sustainable Fashion’s triumph.

An experiment in open-top chambers was carried out in summer 2008 in Curno (northern Italy) in order to study the effects of ozone and drought stress on net photosynthesis, growth and stable isotope partitioning on cuttings of an ozone-sensitive poplar clone (Oxford). The biomass (as dry weight) of stems, leaves and roots was assessed five times during the growing season on a set of plants intended for destructive measurements (set 1). Another set of plants (set 2) was used for repeated measurements (net photosynthesis) and then destroyed at the end of the experiment. The dry weight of the stems in set 1 plants was calculated using allometric relations. The results showed that drought stress had a strong effect on all the parameters assessed. Ozone did not have any effect on biomass allocation in woody stems and stable isotope composition but reduced root/shoot ratios and caused loss of leaves during the growing season. The loss of leaves in the lower part of the crown was partly recovered with the emission of new young leaves in the upper part, thus restoring the overall photosynthetic apparatus. We conclude that the metabolic costs suffered to repair damage and support growth, and the reduction in starch reserves in the roots can compromise growth and the capacity to cope with stress factors in subsequent years.

Bioethanol appears to be one potential solution, especially second-generation production from renewable biomass.In order to use lignocellulosic feedstock to produce bioethanol, its polysaccharide components, cellulose and hemicellulose, must be hydrolysed into soluble sugars, which can then be converted into ethanol by fermentative microorganisms such as Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius TM242 used by the company ReBio Technologies Ltd.To date, the cost of commercial enzymes used during the hydrolysis process remains a major economic consideration in the production of second-generation bioethanol as an alternative fuel. The research project presented in this thesis aims to improve this rate-limiting step of microbial bioethanol production through an investigation of the different enzymes associated with hemicellulose hydrolysis. Firstly, the TM242 genome sequence revealed a number of genes encoding glycoside-hydrolases. Six of these genes were cloned and expressed in E. coli and the recombinant enzymes characterised; three of them, two β-xylosidases and an α arabinofuranosidase, are relevant to xylan hydrolysis, and were found to be highly active and thermostable. Crystallisation of one of the β-xylosidases permitted the determination of a high-resolution (1.7 Å) structure of the apo-enzyme along with a lower resolution (2.6 Å) structure of the enzyme-substrate complex, resulting in the first reported structure of a GH52 family member (Espina et al., 2014).Secondly, as the TM242 microorganism lacks xylanase enzymes, four genes encoding xylanases from closely-related Geobacillus strains were cloned and expressed in E. coli, with one of them being also successfully cloned and expressed in G. thermoglucosidasius TM242. This heterologous xylanase was secreted in active form representing an enhanced biomass utilisation by TM242.In conclusion, it is felt that the findings presented here have the potential to make a valuable contribution towards second-generation bioethanol production.

The reduction of the dioxin levels in the exhausts of today waste-to-energy plants relies on the control of the thermo-fluid-dynamic processes occurring within the combustion chamber, rather than on policies aimed at restricting the amount of chlorine in the waste material to be treated. This is a consequence of the fact that waste-to-energy plants currently receive the bulk of discarded PVC and other chlorine sources that are deliberately burned in order to increase the waste heating value. Indeed, severe law regulations are into force in many industrialised countries, posing constraints on the value of some relevant in-chamber thermo-fluid-dynamic variables, such as temperature and residence time of the gases resulting from the combustion process, whose accurate experimental monitoring is extremely expensive and difficult to achieve. The present work analyses the shortcomings of the methods generally employed in full scale plants for the verification of the temperature and residence time of gases produced during the combustion process, and presents the advantages of using a new procedure developed by authors, based on the numerical simulation of the waste combustion process to optimise monitoring of the quantities of interest. The verification of the developed model, which accounts for both the solid and the gaseous phases, and for the various modes of heat and mass transfer between these phases, is obtained through a comparison with the results of an experimental campaign carried out on a full scale plant in Italy. The temperature distribution in the combustion chamber is calculated considering various waste compositions, and both forced and mixed convection. In fact, it is also shown that neglecting buoyancy effects may lead to appreciable errors.

Kada govorimo o energetskoj učinkovitosti u zgradarstvu, to obuhvaća sljedeće pozitivne mjere: korištenje manje količine energije za grijanje i za hlađenje prostora, za rasvjetu i ventilaciju, upotrebu obnovljivih izvora energije, uz zadržavanje udobnosti životnog prostora, ali i štiteći okoliš kojega smo nedjeljivi dio. Tijekom pisanja diplomskog rada „Projekt energetske obnove višestambene zgrade“ napravljen je pregled aktualnih Zakona i Pravilnika u skladu s kojima je izrađen i cjelokupni projekt koji uključuje brojne mjere kojima se postiže energetska učinkovitost dotad energetski neučinkovite višestambene zgrade. Riječ je o višestambenoj zgradi koja je sagrađena 1973. godine i koja se nalazi u Šibeniku. Temeljem toga predložene su atraktivne mjere za postizanje energetske učinkovitosti uz troškovnik. In modern present, energy efficiency and, above all, thermal insulation of buildings is an important topic. When we talk about energy efficiency in buildings, this includes the following positive measures: the use of less energy for space heating and cooling, lighting and ventilation, the use of renewable energy, while maintaining the comfort of living space, and protecting the environmnet. While writing this thesis, a review of current Laws and Ordinances was drafted in accordance with this whole project which inculdes a number of measures to achieve the energy efficiency of until then energy – inefficient multi – storey building. Attractive measures are proposed to achieve energy efficiency along with the cost estimate. It is a residential building built in 1973 and located in Šibenik.

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Journal , Other literature type 2019 NetherlandsPublisher:Elsevier BV Authors: Fami, Hossein Shabanali; Aramyan, Lusine H.; Sijtsema, Siet J.; Alambaigi, Amir;About 25 million tons of food go wasted or lost in Iran which has socio-economic and environmental consequences for both the country and the households. The main objective of this research is to develop a model to examine the relationship between FCM components and the amount of FW of households in Tehran city, with a focus on urban women. By means of a structural model, this study provides a novel approach to exploring relationships between the food-related behavior of urban households and waste control (n = 1197). Besides, this study is the first attempt to quantify food waste in Iran at the household level. According to the adopted self-reporting procedure, in Tehran, every consumer wastes about 27.6 kg of edible food annually. It is found that households with better food consumption management (FCM (have a lower level of food waste. Moreover, the results have proved that other determinants such as demographic factors, economic power, information use, ability, and motivation have direct and indirect significant effects on FCM as well as on the amount of food waste generation. The findings suggest that the above-mentioned determinants are crucial and should be considered when developing a strategically sustainable food waste prevention plan.

Among different chromatographic methods, liquid chromatography is considered the least green, allowing for various possibilities for greening. Using green solvents such as ethanol or acetone in RP-HPLC, as an alternative to acetonitrile, is recently attracting an attention. Both ethanol and acetone are characterized with low toxicity, with certain drawbacks limiting their regular use in RP-HPLC. Ethanol has low eluotropic strength and causes high backpressures, while acetone shows high UV cut-off, making it unsuitable for UV/Vis detection. To overcome the existing problems, Corona Charged Aerosol Detector was employed for development of RP-HPLC methods for separation of risperidone and its structurally related impurities with either ethanol or acetone as organic modifier. The methods were optimized by experimental design methodology, while optimal conditions for separation were determined using Derringer's desirability function. Detailed assessment of 3D surface plots of Derringer's desirability function enabled selection of 0.6 mL min−1 flow rate and 20% (v/v) organic modifier content as optimal when using ethanol, while in case of acetone mobile phase flow rate was 0.8 mL min−1 and organic modifier content 17% (v/v). Methods were validated and their eco-friendly character was confirmed through Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI). Although both methods are ecologically acceptable, the main drawback is reflected in the fact that no recycling or another waste treatment method exist. In the end, acetone was prioritized over ethanol, due to lower health hazard and decreased amount of generated waste.

The experimental activity was carried out on a three-cylinder, 1028 cc, common-rail engine. Tests were performed with diesel fuel and a 20% v/v biodiesel blend (B20). The quantity and the quality of the waste heat energy were studied through energy and exergy analyses, respectively. Combustion characteristics were investigated by means of indicating data. Gaseous emissions were measured and particles were characterized in terms of number and size at exhaust. It was found out that the addition of 20% v/v of RME to diesel fuel does not affect significantly the brake fuel conversion efficiency and the energetic flows. On the other hand, biodiesel blend allows to reduce the combustion noise and the pollutants emissions in most of the operating conditions. A proper phasing of the injection strategy for the biodiesel blend could further reduce the exhaust emissions, mainly at high engine speeds. The results presented in this paper could be useful for the development of diesel engine based micro-cogeneration systems working at different engine speeds and loads.

Abstract The European Community is dedicating a growing effort towards the development of renewable energy resources market and in particular to bio-fuels. General public is now aware green biomass represents a local renewable resource, which is widely available on the territory and exploitable under environmentally sustainable criteria for an ecologically sound economic development. Generally, the problem is to evaluate where to concentrate the institutional action for the promotion of the renewable energy sector. The goal of this paper is to develop a methodology able to analyse the feasibility of the biomass energy chain. In particular, we have analysed two aspects: the availability of resources and the enterprise structures. While the first aspect is tied to the local situation (forest and agricultural areas), the second aspect has a general relevance for the Italian mountain context.

The current fashion design, production, and consumption system, known as ‘fast fashion’, is characterized by the manufacturing of low-quality garments in a short period of time carried out in developing countries. In parallel with the deficits in social responsibility and human rights, the prevailing ‘take-make-dispose’ system in the fashion industry is one of the main causes of environmental pollution that concerns the climate change, scarcity of natural resources and health problems for the living beings. Due to these facts, discussions on Circular Design strategies – for waste reduction, components recycling, and materials reuse – became increasingly relevant throughout the globe. This paper’s aspiration is to outline a perspective towards a Circular Fashion. The concept of the Design for Sustainability requires a holistic view throughout de-signing strategies as well as the establishment of cyclical systems for the production site. Notwithstanding, the efficient integration of social and cultural dimensions are vital for Sustainable Fashion’s triumph.

An experiment in open-top chambers was carried out in summer 2008 in Curno (northern Italy) in order to study the effects of ozone and drought stress on net photosynthesis, growth and stable isotope partitioning on cuttings of an ozone-sensitive poplar clone (Oxford). The biomass (as dry weight) of stems, leaves and roots was assessed five times during the growing season on a set of plants intended for destructive measurements (set 1). Another set of plants (set 2) was used for repeated measurements (net photosynthesis) and then destroyed at the end of the experiment. The dry weight of the stems in set 1 plants was calculated using allometric relations. The results showed that drought stress had a strong effect on all the parameters assessed. Ozone did not have any effect on biomass allocation in woody stems and stable isotope composition but reduced root/shoot ratios and caused loss of leaves during the growing season. The loss of leaves in the lower part of the crown was partly recovered with the emission of new young leaves in the upper part, thus restoring the overall photosynthetic apparatus. We conclude that the metabolic costs suffered to repair damage and support growth, and the reduction in starch reserves in the roots can compromise growth and the capacity to cope with stress factors in subsequent years.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Doctoral thesis 2015 United KingdomAuthors: Espina Silva, Giannina;It is widely known that fossil fuels are limited; consequently, the generation of new sources of energy in a clean and environmentally friendly manner is a research priority. Bioethanol appears to be one potential solution, especially second-generation production from renewable biomass.In order to use lignocellulosic feedstock to produce bioethanol, its polysaccharide components, cellulose and hemicellulose, must be hydrolysed into soluble sugars, which can then be converted into ethanol by fermentative microorganisms such as Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius TM242 used by the company ReBio Technologies Ltd.To date, the cost of commercial enzymes used during the hydrolysis process remains a major economic consideration in the production of second-generation bioethanol as an alternative fuel. The research project presented in this thesis aims to improve this rate-limiting step of microbial bioethanol production through an investigation of the different enzymes associated with hemicellulose hydrolysis. Firstly, the TM242 genome sequence revealed a number of genes encoding glycoside-hydrolases. Six of these genes were cloned and expressed in E. coli and the recombinant enzymes characterised; three of them, two β-xylosidases and an α arabinofuranosidase, are relevant to xylan hydrolysis, and were found to be highly active and thermostable. Crystallisation of one of the β-xylosidases permitted the determination of a high-resolution (1.7 Å) structure of the apo-enzyme along with a lower resolution (2.6 Å) structure of the enzyme-substrate complex, resulting in the first reported structure of a GH52 family member (Espina et al., 2014).Secondly, as the TM242 microorganism lacks xylanase enzymes, four genes encoding xylanases from closely-related Geobacillus strains were cloned and expressed in E. coli, with one of them being also successfully cloned and expressed in G. thermoglucosidasius TM242. This heterologous xylanase was secreted in active form representing an enhanced biomass utilisation by TM242.In conclusion, it is felt that the findings presented here have the potential to make a valuable contribution towards second-generation bioethanol production.

The reduction of the dioxin levels in the exhausts of today waste-to-energy plants relies on the control of the thermo-fluid-dynamic processes occurring within the combustion chamber, rather than on policies aimed at restricting the amount of chlorine in the waste material to be treated. This is a consequence of the fact that waste-to-energy plants currently receive the bulk of discarded PVC and other chlorine sources that are deliberately burned in order to increase the waste heating value. Indeed, severe law regulations are into force in many industrialised countries, posing constraints on the value of some relevant in-chamber thermo-fluid-dynamic variables, such as temperature and residence time of the gases resulting from the combustion process, whose accurate experimental monitoring is extremely expensive and difficult to achieve. The present work analyses the shortcomings of the methods generally employed in full scale plants for the verification of the temperature and residence time of gases produced during the combustion process, and presents the advantages of using a new procedure developed by authors, based on the numerical simulation of the waste combustion process to optimise monitoring of the quantities of interest. The verification of the developed model, which accounts for both the solid and the gaseous phases, and for the various modes of heat and mass transfer between these phases, is obtained through a comparison with the results of an experimental campaign carried out on a full scale plant in Italy. The temperature distribution in the combustion chamber is calculated considering various waste compositions, and both forced and mixed convection. In fact, it is also shown that neglecting buoyancy effects may lead to appreciable errors.

Kada govorimo o energetskoj učinkovitosti u zgradarstvu, to obuhvaća sljedeće pozitivne mjere: korištenje manje količine energije za grijanje i za hlađenje prostora, za rasvjetu i ventilaciju, upotrebu obnovljivih izvora energije, uz zadržavanje udobnosti životnog prostora, ali i štiteći okoliš kojega smo nedjeljivi dio. Tijekom pisanja diplomskog rada „Projekt energetske obnove višestambene zgrade“ napravljen je pregled aktualnih Zakona i Pravilnika u skladu s kojima je izrađen i cjelokupni projekt koji uključuje brojne mjere kojima se postiže energetska učinkovitost dotad energetski neučinkovite višestambene zgrade. Riječ je o višestambenoj zgradi koja je sagrađena 1973. godine i koja se nalazi u Šibeniku. Temeljem toga predložene su atraktivne mjere za postizanje energetske učinkovitosti uz troškovnik. In modern present, energy efficiency and, above all, thermal insulation of buildings is an important topic. When we talk about energy efficiency in buildings, this includes the following positive measures: the use of less energy for space heating and cooling, lighting and ventilation, the use of renewable energy, while maintaining the comfort of living space, and protecting the environmnet. While writing this thesis, a review of current Laws and Ordinances was drafted in accordance with this whole project which inculdes a number of measures to achieve the energy efficiency of until then energy – inefficient multi – storey building. Attractive measures are proposed to achieve energy efficiency along with the cost estimate. It is a residential building built in 1973 and located in Šibenik.
