Sediment and large wood supply in proglacial streams: insights from the Upper Navisence catchment monitoring.

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Bob de Graffenried

Preliminary analyses of data collected during 2023 and analyses of archived data provided new insights into the sources of wood and sediment in this river corridor. These analyses have highlighted the primary supply processes accountable for these material ...

Deep excavation of the impact from endogenous and exogenous uncertainties on long-term energy planning

François Maréchal, Xiang Li

Endogenous and exogenous uncertainties exert significant influences on energy planning. In this study, we propose a systematic methodology to excavate the uncertainty space, by combining mix-integer linear programming (MILP), Monte Carlo simulation, and ma ...

Chemical evolution of primary and secondary biomass burning aerosols during daytime and nighttime

Athanasios Nenes, Satoshi Takahama, Spyros Pandis, Amir Yazdani

Fine particulate matter (PM) affects visibility, climate, and public health. Biomass burning (BB) in the forms of residential wood burning, wildfires, and prescribed burning is a major source of primary and secondary organic matter (OM, an important fracti ...

Integrated production of chemicals and fuels in the pulp industry: techno-economic and environmental analysis of black liquor gasification-based processes

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos

The pulp and paper sector is classified as an energy intensive activity and several efforts are being made to mitigate its atmospheric emissions, improve the recovery of residual heat and capitalize on its byproducts. The black liquor (BL) is a byproduct o ...

Characterization of primary and aged wood burning and coal combustion organic aerosols in an environmental chamber and its implications for atmospheric aerosols

Satoshi Takahama, Imad El Haddad, Nikunj Dudani, Amir Yazdani

Particulate matter (PM) affects visibility, climate, and public health. Organic matter (OM), a uniquely complex portion of PM, can make up more than half of total atmospheric fine PM mass. We investigated the effect of aging on secondary organic aerosol (S ...

Robotically-Fabricated Nexorades from Whole Timber

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Aryan Rezaei Rad

This paper introduces the conceptual design of sustainable timber structures using raw wood. It pre-sents a workflow for systematically generating Nexorades using a tiling method for multi-valence quad subdivided surfaces. The system is designed based on a ...

Aldehyde-Assisted Fractionation Enhances Lignin Valorization in Endocarp Waste Biomass

Jeremy Luterbacher, Jean Thierry C Behaghel de Bueren, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Graham Reid Dick, Raymond Gérard Buser, Chloé Wegmann

Endocarp biomass, which forms much of the inedible portion of nuts and stone fruits, is a promising feedstock for aromatic chemical production due to its high lignin content and because it is a food industry waste. Here, we tested the nut shells and fruit ...

Analysis of the sorption-enhanced chemical looping biomass gasification process: Performance assessment and optimization through design of experiment approach

François Maréchal, Thanaphorn Detchusananard

In this study, the performance of high-purity hydrogen production through the sorption-enhanced chemical looping gasification (SECLG) process, involving a gasifier, calciner, and air reactor, was investigated. In this process, the biomass feedstock was woo ...
