Desalination of shale gas wastewater: Thermal and membrane applications for zero-liquid discharge (2018)
Book Chapter
Onishi, V. C., Fraga, E. S., Reyes-Labarta, J. A., & Caballero, J. A. (2018). Desalination of shale gas wastewater: Thermal and membrane applications for zero-liquid discharge. In V. Gnaneswar Gude (Ed.), Emerging Technologies for Sustainable Desalination Handbook (399-431). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-815818-0.00012-6

Natural gas exploration from unconventional shale formations, known as “shale gas,” has recently arisen as an appealing energy supply to meet the increasing worldwide demand. During the last decade, development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fr... Read More about Desalination of shale gas wastewater: Thermal and membrane applications for zero-liquid discharge.

Novel thermal management system using mist cooling for lithium-ion battery packs (2018)
Journal Article
Saw, L. H., Poon, H. M., Thiam, H. S., Cai, Z., Chong, W. T., Pambudi, N. A., & King, Y. J. (2018). Novel thermal management system using mist cooling for lithium-ion battery packs. Applied Energy, 223, 146-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.04.042

Thermal management system is crucial for a Lithium-ion battery pack as cycle life, driving range of electric vehicle, usable capacity and safety are heavily dependent on the operating temperature. Optimum operating temperature of Lithium-ion battery... Read More about Novel thermal management system using mist cooling for lithium-ion battery packs.

Estimating degradation-related settlement in two landfill-reclaimed soils by sand-salt analogues (2018)
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Fleming, I., Thiel, R., Dewaele, P., Parker, D., & Kelly, D. (2018). Estimating degradation-related settlement in two landfill-reclaimed soils by sand-salt analogues. Waste Management, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2018.04.013

Landfill reclaimed soil here refers to largely degraded materials excavated from old landfill sites, which after processing can be reinstated as more competent fill, thereby restoring the former landfill space. The success of the process depends on... Read More about Estimating degradation-related settlement in two landfill-reclaimed soils by sand-salt analogues.

A review of optical concentrators for portable solar photovoltaic systems for developing countries. (2018)
Journal Article
Freier, D., Ramirez-Iniguez, R., Jafry, T., Muhammad-Sukki, F., & Gamio, C. (2018). A review of optical concentrators for portable solar photovoltaic systems for developing countries. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 90, 957-968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.03.039

Worldwide, over 1.1 billion people have no access to electricity. The consequences for the affected people include health hazards from fuels used for lighting, limits to learning when it gets dark, a short productive day and high expenditures on ligh...

New method for rock qualification (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
János, L., Emőke, I., Phong. Q, T., Miklós, G., László, K., István, T., …Guida, G. (2018). New method for rock qualification. In Mérnökgeológia-Kőzetmechanika 2018 (263-274)

A new method was elaborated to characterize the breakage properties of rocks. A crushing test was suggested and parallel tests were performed on sand-pairs with different parent rocks, using identical initial gradings. The data were analyse... Read More about New method for rock qualification.

Sustainability tool to optimise material quantities of steel in the construction industry (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
D'Amico, B., & Pomponi, F. (2018, April). Sustainability tool to optimise material quantities of steel in the construction industry. Presented at 25th CIRP Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) Conference, Copenhagen, Denmark

The steel industry is arguably one of the most pollutant manufacturing sectors. The vast majority of steel produced worldwide is employed by the construction industry, mostly under the form of profile members for structural use, and it is primarily u...
