Banu, Environmental Impact of Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Flexural Strengthening Solutions of Reinforced Concrete Beams, Int. J. Life Cycle Ass. 45, 43 (2015).Maxineasa, S.G., Taranu, N., Bejan, L., Isopescu, D. & Banu, O.M., 2015. Environmental impact of carbon fibre-reinforced...
This chapter analyses the energy-intensive process of carbon fibre manufacturing and how process parameters affect fibre properties, emissions, and energy use. These relationships are assessed by examining fibre properties, emitted gases, and energy consumption under varying processing conditions on a conti...
For example, the use phase dominates greenhouse gas emissions in countries with carbon-intensive energy grids. Use of alternative fibres has the potential to reduce these environmental impacts, particularly jute and flax, which have much lower water demands. Opportunities for farmers, manufacturers and...
A technique used to assess the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. It considers factors such as resource use, energy consumption, emissions and waste generation. Life-cycle management The process of ...
However, according to results analyses, the performance of RAC is reliable up to 50% of RFA in proposed conditions and mix design. In addition, major environmental impacts such as global warming potential, aquatic eutrophication, and aquatic acidification were reduced by 47%, 40%, and 18%, ...
. Both environmental and economic factors have driven the development of recycling pathways for the increasing amount of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) scrap generated. A recycling system for FRP has to be designed to recover and reuse the fibre and matrix content of the scrap. The objective of...
Several tools can be used to assess the environmental impacts at the subnational scale.Loiseau et al. (2012)provide a complete description and comparison of the main characteristics of all methods that have been implemented at the territory scale. Among these, tools based on mono-footprint methods...
The textiles industry is a substantial contributor to environmental impacts through the production, processing, use, and end-of-life of garments. Wool is a
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the recycling of disposable surgical masks has been extensively studied, particularly through thermochemical reconversion processes aimed at energy recovery or producing carbon-based materials for environmental applications. However, the upcycling of these masks remains far from...
(C) “Globesity” is a concept that refers to the obesity pandemic and an invitation by the WHO to create social awareness about its impact on global public health [8], since its health impacts range from an enhanced risk of premature death to significant chronic illnesses that diminish the...
