Biomass preheating in torrefaction at an industrial scale is possible through a direct contact with the hot gases released. However, their high water-content implies introducing moisture (around 20% v/v) in the torrefaction atmosphere, which may impact biomass thermochemical transformation. In this work, this situation was investigated for wheat st...
Pojem industrijska energetika obsega razmeroma široko področje tehnike, s katero se inženir pogosto srečuje v različnih proizvodnih procesih, zato je prav, da je seznanjen vsaj z osnovami teh področij. V kratkem času, ki ga študijski program Lesarsko inženirstvo na Biotehniški fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani odmerja tej temi, jo je nemogoče pogloblj...

Distinctive [email protected] composites have been constructed using chromium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and diatomite (Da). The new materials have hierarchical pore structures containing micropores, mesopores and macropores. We have synthesized various morphologies of the MOF compound Cr-MIL-101 to combine with Da in a one-pot reaction step. Th...
Vertically integrated water vapour (IWV) is expected to increase globally in a warming climate. To determine whether IWV increases as expected on a regional scale, we present IWV trends in Switzerland from ground-based remote sensing techniques and reanalysis models, considering data for the time period 1995 to 2018. We estimate IWV trends from a g...

Water is the only atmospheric parameter with three-phase state. An ultraviolet Raman lidar was developed for synchronous measurements for water vapor, liquid water and ice water in Xi’an University of Technology, Xi’an, China (34.233°N, 108.911°E). An accurate retrieval method on the basis of interference degree is proposed for synchronous three-ph...

Abstract—One of the options for the practical application of GNSS technology, in addition to geodetic and navigation needs, is remote sensing of the atmosphere by radio signals from navigation satellites in order to improve the quality and detail of weather forecasts. The propagation of a radio signal from GNSS satellites to a ground receiving devi...

Among microporous storage materials copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (CuBTC MOF, Cu3(BTC)2 or HKUST-1) holds the greatest potential for clean energy gases. However, its usefulness is challenged by water vapor, either in the gas to be stored or in the environment. To determine the protection potential of graphene oxide (GO) [email protected] composites ...

The influence of humidity on the density, shear elastic module, viscosity, and thickness of the mushroom Pleurotus eryngii and Ganoderma lucidum mycelium films was studied. These data were obtained by comparing the theoretical and experimental frequency dependencies of the complex electrical impedance of bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator loaded by...
Freeze-thaw cycles play a critical role in affecting ecosystem services in arid regions. Monitoring studies of soil temperature and moisture during a freeze-thaw process can generate data for research on the coupled movement of water, vapor, and heat during the freezing-thawing period which can, in turn, provide theoretical guidance for rational ir...
Water vapor radiative effects (WVRE) at surface in the long-wave (LW) and short-wave (SW) spectral ranges under cloud and aerosol free conditions are analyzed for seven stations in Spain over the 2007&ndash / 2015 period. WVRE is calculated as the difference between the net flux obtained by two radiative transfer simulations / one with water vapor ...
