2020Electrochemical systems for hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicle infrastructure
Thermodynamics and heat engines are the core disciplines which enabled the development of the thermo-industrial society during the 20th century. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are one of the easiest and most convenient solutions offered by the thermophysical con ...
EPFL2020Advances in Vanadium-Based Catalyst Research for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx by NH₃
The most efficient after-treatment technology for reducing harmful NOx emissions from stationary and mobile sources of diesel exhaust is the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with ammonia (NH3). Vanadium-based SCR catalysts reduce NOx selectively ...
EPFL2017Optimal Search Strategies for Pollutant Source Localization
This paper is aimed at developing optimal motion planning for a single autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) equipped with an on-board pollutant sensor that will maximize the sensor-related information available for source seeking. The ASV uses a nonlinear diff ...
Ieee2016Impacts of potential CO2-reduction policies on air quality in the United States
Impacts of emissions changes from four potential U.S. CO2 emission reduction policies on 2050 air quality are analyzed using the community multiscale air quality model (CMAQ). Future meteorology was downscaled from the Goddard Institute for Spac ...
American Chemical Society2015Investigation of pollution sources in rivers using passive sampling: a discussion based on in-situ experiments on PCBs
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Nicolas Estoppey, Julien Omlin
Tools able to investigate pollution sources at low cost are urgently needed to achieve the requirements of the Water Frame Directive and international treaties (such as the Stockholm Convention) which are to reduce, or even cease, pollution emissions to wa ...
2013An emissions inventory of air pollutants for the city of Bogota, Colombia
More than 8.5 million people live in the urban area of Bogotá and more than 1.4 million vehicles are taking the road every day. Air pollution is becoming more and more of a problem. Today, air pollution related respiratory diseases are the main cause of de ...
