Green house effect

Compressed CO2 does not have any influence on the green-house effect, it is moreover not classified as a volatile organic chemical (VOC). Consequently, it may be regarded as a green solvent. [Pg.8]

It should be remembered that despite their high GWPs, fluorinated gases make a relatively minor contribution (ca. 1%) to the total GWP of mankind s emissions (see in this series, the chapters of R. Tuckett and A. Sekiya et at. devoted to the green house effect of SF5CF3 and to CFCs and HCFCs substitutes, respectively). [Pg.183]

Due to the abundance and the nature of the primary compounds involved in these reactions, Cl chemistry has become a major area of research interest. CH4 (main component of natural gas) may be considered as a raw material for the next decades to produce various organic intermediates (chemicals, liquid fuels), as well as a principal source of energy. CO2 is the largest by-product emitted to the atmosphere and partially responsible for the green house effect. For this latter reason, its reutilisation is strongly desirable. CH3OH is a synthetic compound that allows numerous chemical transformations of great interest in the production of intermediates for the chemicals industry. Also CO (or CO + H2 mixture, usually called synthesis... [Pg.157]

Another interesting question that is raised regarding automotive catalytic converters is the formation of secondary emissions. In this study main emphasis was put on the nitrogen containing molecules NH3 and N2O, the latter of which becomes more and more important due to it s green house effect potential. First the NH3-formation is compared for the Pt/Rh- and the stabilized Pd-system, see Figure 5. [Pg.448]

Despite the fact that it was used on a large scale as an etnergencry energy source in World War II, biosiesel has been seriously considered as a clean fuel, able to reduce the production of the so called green house effect gases only in the last... [Pg.103]

Ecological data have been collected for all the products in this project as well as for all process steps required (see Table 13.1). First a life-cycle inventory was established for aU relevant ecological inputs. In a second step a data assessment was carried out aggregating individual data into 10 environmental categories such as anthropogenic green house effect, eutrophication potential, and the like (Fig. 13.21). [Pg.540]

Hydropower projects are the best source of power generation due to pollution free and renewable nature, being responsive to quick load changes and economical. It has less capital cost (l/3rd of thermal), highly efficiency (90% for hydro, 35% for thermal and 32% for gas turbines) without contributing to green house effect etc and many other multipurpose benefits. [Pg.231]

To predict the probability of a new glaciation to come within the next 10 to 20,000 years, seems to be very difficult, especially if we take into account the green house-effect caused by our today s COj production which is so vehemently discussed at present. But also if the contrary phenomenon of polar ice melting with a connected raise of the sea level would occur this would also be a supra-national issue. [Pg.208]

The stated theory of thermal radiation also allows an explanation of a phenomenon that has an influence on life on earth. This is the so-called green-house effect. The sun s radiation (the spectrum is depicted in Figure 6.34), passes through open space, and reaches the external layers of the earth s atmosphere, naturally with a loss of intensity, but without a special change of spectral composition. In the atmosphere there is selective absorption of the sun s radiation by natural and industrial gases. This selectivity is defined by the structure of molecules, by their concentration and properties. It is natural also, that absorption of radiation depends on humidity, dust content and other properties of the atmospheric layers close to the surface of the earth. [Pg.406]
