A slight amount of gas is produced during the decolorization, but no activity is lost as the pH of the solution is 12. Benzene was found to be preferable over toluene as a solvent for benzoyl peroxide because of its greater solubility and its ability to contribute to the destruction of ...
Scientists have been vastly underestimating the amount of methane (甲烷) humans are emitting into the atmosphere through fossil fuels, according to research. The analysis published in the journal Nature shows methane emissions from fossil fuels owing to human activity is around 25 percent to 40 perce...
In investigations of shale gas found within shale formations, the conversion of the experimentally determined excess adsorption amount to the absolute amount is crucial to the interpretation of experimental adsorption data. In our study, the excess isotherms of a shale sample from the Longmaxi ...
Furthermore, because CO2 is a non-condensing greenhouse gas, once it's up there in the atmosphere it stays around for a long time, so much of that 144 ppm increase still has work to do - meaning that the warming already caused by it will continue for many years....
Compared to other grains, sorghum grains are relatively large, meaning less inoculation points per g of inoculum added. The use of a smaller grain, like millet, would increase the amount of inoculation points per g of inoculum added. The latter can initiate a faster colonization of the ...
The microplastics found by researchers were mostly made up of tinyclothing fibers, which can easily enter oceans if not filtered out properly in wastewater treatment plants. Along with microplastics, these currents also trap oxygenated water and nutrients, meaning important seafloor ecosystems are absorbi...
Cotton is water-intensive, and figuring out how to dispose of a tote in an environmentally low-impact way is not nearly as simple as people think, according to Travis Wagner, an environmental science professor at the University of Maine. You can’t, for example, just put a tote in a ...
Emma Marris’Wild Soulsencourages readers to reflect on this question and more. An absorbing mixture of philosophy and science, the book explores what we owe the nonhuman world. Like her 2011 bookRambunctious Garden, which challenged the idea of “undeveloped wilderness” in a world where humans ...
For a development of reduction strategies, origins of emissions have to be known. On the example of sugar beet, this study identifies the main sources and gives an overview of the variety of production systems. With data from farm surveys, calculations of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in ...
In this experiment, nitrogen leaching, ammonia volatilization, greenhouse gas emissions under bag-controlled release fertilizer (BCRF) were evaluated. In addition, the impact of BCRF on soil nutrient status in peach orchards, peach root system growth, nitrogen absorption and utilization rate, fruit ...
