Mineral masterbatches, in other words mineral fillers, are concentrates of calcium carbonate or talc in a polymer base. In addition to their optimal cost, their use improves mechanical properties of materials and reduce ...
Los altos niveles de contaminantes atmosféricos en el nordeste de la Península Ibérica tienen un fuerte impacto tanto en los ecosistemas como en la salud humana. Esta región es particularmente sensible a la contaminación ...
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a widespread technology for treating high strength waste streams, such as livestock manure. AD has some limitations: i) high nutrient concentrations in effluents (especially nitrogen and ...
The meat sector is one of the most important industrial sectors in Europe and it is associated with the generation of large quantities of animal by-products not intended for human consumption (ABPs). The increasing demand ...
The continuous and expected increase of electrification in the transport sector, the so-called "electromobility" revolution, is one of the main drivers of progress in energy storage for vehicle propulsion. Today's electric ...
En la presente Memoria se analizan y simulan los procesos atmosféricos en un emplazamiento costero con orografía accidentada, situado en las proximidades de Castellón, incluyendo las influencias que las peculiaridades, ...
Water is essential for life, human activities and ecosystems. The global climate change together the population increase causes an imbalance between the demand of water and the available water resources.. All these factors ...
Muchas de las actividades humanas contribuyen al deterioro del medio ambiente debido a la gran variedad de residuos químicos vertidos. Algunas de estas sustancias químicas son bastante persistentes y causan serios efectos ...
La contaminación del aire urbano tiene efectos negativos en la salud humana, los ecosistemas y se asocia con el transporte de contaminantes a larga distancia. La región del sur del Mediterráneo y en concreto la Península ...
In this thesis an assessment of the parameterization of the Aerosol-Radiation Interaction (ARI) in online integrated meteorology-chemistry models has been conducted. The model estimates of ARI radiative effects are still ...
Urban air pollution is of major concern in Spain and also throughout Europe and globally with numerous effects on human health and ecosystems. Since air quality (AQ) is predominantly a problem for human health and the ...
The study of solar radiation is a key process for the exploitation of solar energy systems. In most cases, however, the availability of information is insufficient and not up-to-date. In addition, the interpolation of ...
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is currently spread all over the world for sewage sludge stabilisation, volume reduction and green energy production. Its implementation contributes to turn a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) into ...
During the last couple of decades the demand for good quality water in sufficient quantity has increased. The administration is now aware that water is not a commercial product; that hydrological management needs to be ...
El Análisis del Ciclo de Vida (ACV) es una herramienta metodológica que determina los potenciales impactos ambientales asociados con un producto o servicio, desde la extracción de la materia prima hasta su disposición final ...
En Cataluña se presentan episodios de contaminación por ozono troposférico, especialmente en verano. El complejo comportamiento del ozono, su interacción con la atmósfera y sus efectos sobre la calidad del aire, pueden ser ...
The impact of mineral dust upon climate, ecosystems and air quality represents a major scientific and societal issue. The aim goals of the present Ph.D. Thesis are to evaluate the behaviour and to improve the forecasting ...
Aquesta tesi doctoral investiga els processos clau que controlen la mobilitat d'alguns dels radionúclids sensibles al redox presents en els residus (U, Pu i Tc) i Ni com a radionúclid crític, en el repositori “Swedish Final ...
The water quality status of an Andean river basin was characterised and the pressures from anthropogenic activities were evaluated to enhance the available knowledge of the environment within an ecosystem in Peru. This ...
La gestió dels residus radioactius d'alta activitat suposen un dels majors reptes tecnològics de la societat actual, considerant-se la disposició en un Magatzem Geològic Profund (MGP) com la única alternativa viable per a ...
