Concerning the reduction of fossil-energy use from industrial processes, power generation and transportation, concentrated solar power from dish reflectors is well suited for driving highly endothermic reactions that valorize CO2 and/or light hydrocarbons. In this study, a directly ... En savoir plus
As an effective method to cope with green-house gas emission, and to enhance oil recovery, injection of carbon dioxide into oil reservoirs has obtained increasing attentions. The flooding process involves complex phase behavior among oil, brine and CO2, and geochemical reaction between ... En savoir plus
A solar thermal power plant comprises of an optical system, heat source and power block. Optical system collects direct sunlight and concentrates it onto the receiver (shown in figure 1). The receiver intercepts the concentrated sunlight and converts it to heat. Finally, the heat is ... En savoir plus
Monitoring of indoor CO2 concentration is of particular interest to detect room occupancy in order to optimize power consumptions of building. One approach to monitor the indoor CO2 concentration is to use optical detection using specific absorption lines of CO2 molecules in the infrared ... En savoir plus
The IR CO2 laser powered chemical conversions in the gas phase are intriguing and the researchers’ attention was focused on this transformation a while ago. The method, known as Infrared Laser Powered Homogeneous Pyrolysis, or IR LPHP opened reaction pathways not reached by conventional ... En savoir plus
Immense amounts of methane are stored as gas-hydrate deposits in deep layers of marine sediments. This has raised considerable interest to develop strategies for producing natural gas from marine hydrates. One potential production strategy is the injection of supercritical CO2 into ...

Microwave discharges have a wide range of applications, such as gas conversion, material processing and surface treatment; also they can provide an efficient way for dissociation of molecular gases as CO2 and N2O. Depending on the operating pressure and temperature, non-equilibrium ... En savoir plus
The assessment of forest soil respiration and its isotopic composition is one of the important issues for the carbon cycling modeling (greenhouse gas emission control) because it is often inaccurate. Soil respiration is a complex process, depending on the coupling of several phenomena, ... En savoir plus
An analysis to quantify the effects of packed bed channeling in the narrow passages of the ISS (International Space Station) CDRA (Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly) is presented. The CDRA contains two pelletized adsorbent beds to remove CO2 respired by the crew. Each CO2 adsorbent bed is ... En savoir plus
