Single CSTR can be as effective as an SBR in selecting PHA-storing biomass from municipal wastewater-derived feedstock

Pierre Rossi

A key step in the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from organic waste streams is the selection of a biomass with a high PHA-storage capacity (selection-step), which is usually performed in sequencing batch reactor (SBR) according to the state-of- ...

A holistic investigation of photocatalytic hydrogen generation

Sangram Ashok Savant

Photocatalytic (PC) solar hydrogen production is a promising way to provide green hydrogen using only sunlight and abundant reactants such as water. PC approaches use catalytically active semiconductor particles suspended in liquid electrolytes. The partic ...

Spectrometer-free electron probe of ultrafast thermal dynamics in optically excited samples

Fabrizio Carbone

Cutting edge electron microscopes allow to probe the optical excitations in nanostructures with subangstrom spatial and femtosecond temporal resolution. In this study we discuss the prospects of probing the ultrafast out-of-equilibrium dynamics of plasmoni ...

Load Transfer Method for Energy Piles in a Group with Pile–Soil–Slab–Pile Interaction

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Melis Sütman

The behavior of an energy pile in a group is different from that of an isolated energy pile due to thermal and mechanical interactions. This study aims to extend the load transfer method to consider the mechanical and thermal interactions of energy piles i ...

Load transfer approach for the geotechnical analysis of energy piles in a group with slab

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Melis Sütman

Thermally induced group effects characterise closely spaced energy piles. It has been observed experimentally that the behaviour of energy piles subjected to mechanical and thermal loads, in which the piles are located sufficiently close to each other, is ...

Synthesis of grid compliant substitute natural gas from a representative biogas mixture in a hybrid Ni/Ru catalysed reactor

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Marco Calizzi, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Alexandre Borsay

We demonstrate biogas upgrading towards full CO2 conversion in mild conditions in a three-step reactor system using Ru- and Ni-based catalysts. In each of the three reactor stages, the temperature is carefully controlled, thus optimizing the reaction therm ...

Systematic Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor Systems

Friederike Bostelmann

Sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) technologies have the potential to guarantee energy supply and to reduce the burden of nuclear waste for future generations. For an adequate simulation of these reactor systems, well-established tools that have so far been ...

Analysis of the vertical displacement of energy pile groups

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

Over the last fifty years, the interaction factor method has been widely used to address the vertical displacement and the increased deformation of conventional pile groups subjected to mechanical loads when group effects and interactions occur among the p ...
