The corrosion of steel due to seawater is a problem faced by all ships. In this work it has been analyzed two of the variables that most infuence the degradation process of carbon steels in marine environments (pH and ...

A new adsorbent [chiFer(III)] for boron recovery from seawater was prepared using chitosan and iron(III) hydroxide. Experiments were carried out in a column system. Seawater samples were collected from the Mediterranean ...

Water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface but, even so water is becoming a scarce resource. In order to achieve the target 7.c of the Millennium Development Goals, to assure potable water for the people without sustainable ...

Hydrogen is a promising fossil-fuel alternative fuel owing to its environmentally neutral emissions and high energy density. However, the need for purified water and external power are critical hindrances to the implementation ...

Magnesium has been listed among the 30 critical raw materials by the European Union. In recent years, many green and sustainable alternative Mg2+ sources have been sought to satisfy the EU’s demand and to avoid mineral ore ...

The aim of this paper is to provide the basis for the calibration of a hydrophone

Recycled aggregates of mixed composition (MRA) may exhibit great variability in their properties, which in turn reduces their applicability. This study intends to extend the use of MRA in a broadened scope of applications ...

Sea surface salinity can be remotely measured by means of L-band microwave radiometry. However, the brightness temperature also depends on the sea surface temperature and on the sea state, which is probably today one of ...

Seawater mining is certainly a green alternative source for obtaining minerals as seawater is a natural renewable and unlimited available resource. Based on the lack of ways to obtain certain raw materials, the European ...
