Impact Assessment (EIA) is an instrument of sustainable development. This paper focuses on the selection between technological variants of an investment in the Environmental Impact Assessment as a base material, using a different method than the orig...

The paper presents the estimation of sulfur dioxide emissions as an effect of coal and pellet combustion in an automatic boiler equipped with a retort burner based on the actual heat consumption required for heating a building and heating domestic ho...

Nowadays, we can find many studies about evaporative cooling pads, but a uniform methodology does not exist for experimental tests, and many factors are less studied. Our goal is to design and build a versatile experimental facility that enables the...

Cytotoxicity assays are a fundamental tool used in molecular biology, as well as in pharmacy, for drug discovery studies. Most of these assays are based on the measurement of cell viability and proliferation. The reduction of MTT is a widely used col...

In the context of sustainable cities and communities, to meet the European aim of a carbon-free economy by 2050, and to tackle the current climate change, the retrofitting of the Italian residential building stock, as well the green regeneration of u...

Activated carbon (AC) is produced by either a physical or chemical activation process. It is used in various industries such as water treatment, air purification, and in the processes of clarification, liquid deodorization, and alcohol distillation....

This paper presents research that contributed to the development of guidelines for technology related to the management of dairy industry waste for energy purposes, used as an additive in the process of pelleting with wood sawdust. During the tests,...

For years, activated carbon manufacturing has been based on coal. However, today, as coal mines in Eastern Europe are not accessible anymore, companies producing coal-based adsorptive materials need to search for new raw materials. Sugar cane fibers...

Cities are indicated as areas contributing to the smog problem. Nevertheless, they can also be viewed as a source of solutions. In modern urban agglomerations, we can observe innovative solutions such as buses filtering the air and plant installation...

The paper presents an analysis of the work comfort in a home office located in a single-family building with supply and exhaust ventilation with heat recovery. The noise level was measured, and the subjective feelings of the working person were analy...
