We use a hazard model to estimate the effect of environmental regulation on the diffusion of membrane cell production technology in the chlorine manufacturing industry. We estimate the effect of regulation on both the adoption of the membrane technology at existing plants and on the exit of...

Carbon nanotubes are new class of active environmental pollutants. The authors report interactions between chlorine used as disinfectant/oxidant during typical water treatment and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Alterations in SWCNT morphology were determined by TEM, while FT-IR spectra...

Chemicals have become the backbone of manufacturing within industrialized economies. Being energy-intensive materials to produce, this sector is threatened by policies aimed at combating and adapting to climate change. This study examines the worst-case scenario for the U.S. chemicals industry...

The study concerns the distribution of chlorine species in the gaseous phase and the condensed phase during gasification of corn straw. The gasification of corn straw was carried out in a downdraft fixed bed gasifier using air and steam as gasifying agents. The effects of the air equivalence...
