A new CO2 sorbent was prepared from carbide slag, aluminum nitrate hydrate and glycerol water solution by combustion synthesis method. The effects of the sorbent preparation conditions (glycerol addition, combustion synthesis temperature, ratio of carbide slag to aluminum nitrate hydrate) and...

This paper produces three main results in a two-country model where learning is generated through interactive production. First, it endogenizes the incidence of international spillovers and consequently, integrates the convergence and divergence literature of endogenous growth. Second, it...

This paper studies strategic R&D policy with endogenous timing of firms’ moves within a two-period framework. Within this framework the government can make a policy commitment only in the second period due to an information lag vis-à-vis the firms. The firms can, if they choose, make their...

Because the returns to successful industrial research generally enjoy a larger scale economy than that to successful scientific research, this paper shows that while economic integration increases R&D employment, it may not raise the rate of long-run economic growth owing to the shift of...

Green building has achieved a rapid growth as a result of growing public awareness of environmental impacts of the building stock. It is not unusual that governments use policies as a driving force for green building developments. It is well recognized that effective public policies help to...

The carbide slag is an industrial waste from chlor-alkali plants, which can be used to capture CO2 in the calcium looping cycles, i.e. carbonation/calcination cycles. In this work, the cycled carbide slag from the calcium looping cycles for CO2 capture was proposed to remove HCl in the flue gas...

The effect of the presence of HCl on cyclic CO2 capture behavior of calcium-based sorbent in the calcium looping process was investigated. When HCl was present in the carbonation atmosphere, the effects of carbonation temperature, calcination temperature, HCl concentration and particle size on...
