Discovery, evaluation, and analysis of novel pathways for production of five methyl ethyl ketone precursors

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Meriç Ataman, Noushin Hadadi, Milenko Tokic

The limited amount of fossil fuels shifted research in industry and academia towards sustainable production of their substitutes. One of the most prominent biofuel candidates is Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), due to its thermo-physical and transport properties ...

Controlling and Pricing Shareability

Thomas Alois Weber

In the presence of a peer-to-peer economy, the option of sharing an item is valuable for consumers. By retaining control over the shareability of its products a monopolist can set a sharing tariff in conjunction with the purchase price of the product, in o ...

Modeling of Sustainable Base Production by Microbial Electrolysis Cell

Christos Comninellis, Fabian Fischer, Marc Sugnaux, Maxime Blatter

A predictive model for the microbial/electrochemical base formation from wastewater was established and compared to experimental conditions within a microbial electrolysis cell. A Na2SO4/K2SO4 anolyte showed that model prediction matched experimental resul ...

The Impact of Sharing Markets on Product Durability

Thomas Alois Weber, Maryam Razeghian Jahromi

This paper studies the effects of sharing markets on the prices for new products and on product design in terms of durability. In a dynamic economy with overlapping generations, consumers take strategic purchasing decisions, anticipated by a durable-goods ...

Optimal Retail in a Sharing Economy

Thomas Alois Weber

The emerging sharing economy is fueled by products that some consumers buy new. This paper introduces an overlapping-generations model to analyze consumers' consumption choices and the equilibrium in the sharing market. We derive a retailer's optimal prici ...

Environomic multi-objective optimization of an eco-industrial park

François Maréchal, Lindsay Dianne Lessard, Maziar Kermani

A circular economy refers to an industrial economy with a cradle to cradle vision, shifting from the use of fossil fuels towards renewable energy, minimizing the use of toxic chemicals and reducing waste by recycling through careful system design. The conc ...
