that C. vulgaris has is its ability to grow rapidly. Because of its rapid growth scientist have been studying it and found that it can be used in many different ways; wastewater treatments, production of protein-rich food and feed additives, and biofuel (Cakmak,Wells). Specialty oils, and cosmetics can also be products from algae (Griffiths et al). The limit of fossil fuels makes it more important to be able to find renewable energy resources. There are many positives that come from using…
homogeneous component elements. High temperatures (12,632 degrees Fahrenheit) prevent formation of dangerous dioxins. Lack of inorganic materials in the feedstock, produces only carbon-based syngas without toxic slag. Syngas can be converted into a biofuel similar to ethanol, or used to drive gas turbines for the city’s power grid. Syngas is cleaned to remove dangerous chemicals, which are reused by Basuratagalog’s chemical manufactures. Streamlined gasification makes emissions negligible and a…
that exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) limits”, Chinese cities compete with the worst cities in the world, and bygone civilisations. Banister (2000) also elucidated “pollution of external and internal sources is caused by the combustion of biofuels and fossil fuels in home cooking, heating stoves, industrial boilers, power plants and vehicles” (p. 16), including an extensive amount of other affluence based amenities comprised within globalisation. This occurs as a product of the…
ABSTARCT In this experiment I have compared three different methods of determining the amount (percentage) of ethanol present in an aqueous sample. I tested three different samples containing different percentage amounts of ethanol in them; Listerine, Terra Fresca Wine and the last is a mixture of ethanol and water that was made by me. The three different methods compared are the redox titration method which involves the oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid and then titrating the residue with…
Before concluding, we pause to consider whether our recommendation of refocusing some of the political effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on innovation aligns with political economy considerations. Political economy factors largely reinforce the value of making innovation policy an integral part of climate policy. First, unlike carbon taxes, innovation commits future governments to long-term reductions in emissions that cannot easily be revoked: while a tax can be rolled back, it is…
Al Gore stated, “Once the renewable infrastructure is built, the fuel is free forever. Unlike carbon-based fuels, the wind and the sun and the earth itself provide fuel that is free, in amounts that are effectively limitless .” The production of electricity is necessary for human life to sustain lifestyles and their needs. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable remains of ancient plants and animals that fossilize, and then they transform into a combustible material (McLamb). This means that once…
gases in use today are coal, gasoline and natural gas. Coal: The chemical formula of coal is C135H96O9NS. Nearly 85% of Coal is made up of Carbon and the rest is mainly hydrogen and oxygen. Coal doesn’t have a melting point. Like all fossil and biofuels, all different kinds of coal produce CO2 when burned. Coal energy quality varies based upon where it is mined. Some coals can produce more energy than others. Gasoline: C8H18 is the chemical formula of gasoline, which like coal is a mixture of…
which is used for finding a way to solve the problems related to environment, in both conditions like in manmade ecosystem e.g. waste water treatment plants and in environment e.g. bioremediation, biodegradation of hazardous wastes and production of biofuel and biogas [3]. It is a field of scientific knowledge which involves microorganisms and products of them, to be used to prevent environmental pollution by utilizing various bio-treatment methods for all types of wastes like gaseous, solid and…
Canadian-based McCain Foods began in 1957 and continues to thrive as a private-held company with fifty-seven production facilities in the United States and across six continents. Strategically guided, McCain Foods, based on sales of 2014, presented as the 19th largest private company in Canada (McCain 2015). In open market systems, strategic leaders must depend on their specific situation or environment, competing for supplies, predicting future needs, understanding complex decisions, and…
Medical Marijuana a Benefit or a Disadvantage? Have you ever wondered why medical marijuana has not yet been legalized? In our society today, many people come across at least a variety of cannabis smokers in their lives that they refer to as “stoners” or “potheads”. With many different views on the drug that is so commonly known around the world, in America it has become a topic of political discussion. Whether it should of course be legalized due to the popularity of the drug or be kept…
