  • Profit allocation in industrial symbiosis networks: utility exchanges 

    Lechtenberg, Fabian; Espuña Camarasa, Antonio; Graells Sobré, Moisès (Elsevier, 2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Industrial symbiosis networks enable efficient resource sharing between companies and, thereby, generate otherwise unachievable profits. This work studies the multi-actor process integration problem that arises when ...

  • Integrated synthesis, modeling, and assessment of waste-to-resource alternatives 

    Pacheco López, Adrian; Somoza Tornos, Ana; Graells Sobré, Moisès; Espuña Camarasa, Antonio (2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    To address the urgent need to transform the current economic paradigm towards a more circular one, this contribution proposes a framework for assisting the selection of the most promising waste-to-resource alternatives. ...

  • Using fuzzy logic to evaluate fire vulnerability of dwellings located at the wildland-urban interface 

    Agueda Costafreda, Alba; Vacca, Pascale; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    WUI fires are posing great challenges to firefighting services, which are overwhelmed by the need to not only suppress the fire, but also protect the community. The need for self-protection is therefore growing, as is the ...

  • Vulnerability analysis to wildland- urban interface fires in metropolitan areas: an integrated approach 

    Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Caballero Valero, David; Rodríguez Giralt, Israel; Arenas Conejo, Miriam; Morán Núñez, Francisca Josefa; Canaleta Garcia, Guillem; Vacca, Pascale; Agueda Costafreda, Alba; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Wildfires pose a growing threat to populated areas around the world and especially in the Mediterranean Basin. Numerous Mediterranean cities have typically developed neighbourhoods that expand into forest land in which ...

  • Fire performance of residential shipping containers designed with a shaft wall system 

    Agueda Costafreda, Alba; Vacca, Pascale; Marimón Carvajal, Federico; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    seven story building made of shipping containers is planned to be built in Barcelona, Spain. This study mainly aimed to evaluate the fire performance of one of these residential shipping containers whose walls and ceiling ...

  • Modelling and parameter fitting of the dosage of hydrogen peroxide in a photo-fenton process 

    Nasr Esfahani, Kourosh; Pérez Moya, Montserrat; Graells Sobré, Moisès (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This study addresses the modelling of the photo-Fenton processes, sensitivity analysis, and parameter fitting, focusing on the supply of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and aiming at the future exploitation in model-based ...

  • Towards automated information retrieval of process data and knowledge from academic databases 

    Lechtenberg, Fabian; Farreres de la Morena, Xavier; Somoza Tornos, Ana; Pacheco López, Adrian; Espuña Camarasa, Antonio; Graells Sobré, Moisès (2021)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Process modeling requires both data (chemical reaction yields, kinetic constants, cost estimates, environmental indicators, etc.) and knowledge (operation models and formulations, alternative processes and technologies, ...

  • A hybrid model coupling Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) and conventional bio-processes for the removal of recalcitrant contaminants in wastewaters 

    Nasr Esfahani, Kourosh; Pérez Moya, Montserrat; Graells Sobré, Moisès (2021)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The combined use of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) and conventional bio-processes has been suggested for the efficient treatment of wastewaters with a significant presence of recalcitrant contaminants. However, no ...

  • Fixed-bed column sorption of ammonium from treated municipal wastewater using clinoptilolite 

    Sheikh, Mahdi; Vecino Bello, Xanel; Reig i Amat, Mònica; Valderrama Ángel, César Alberto; Cortina Pallás, José Luis (2020)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    The sorption of ammonium (NH4+) ion was measured in a continuous fixed-bed column via employing a granular natural zeolite (clinoptilolite). The column performances were investigated at influent flow rate of 0.22 mL/min. ...

  • Optimal design and planning multi resource-based energy integration in process industries 

    Morakabatchiankar, Shabnam; Mele, Fenando D.; Graells Sobré, Moisès; Espuña Camarasa, Antonio (Elsevier, 2019)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Recently, process industries have experienced a significant pressure to shift from centralized energy supplying systems to the in-situ exploitation of renewable resources. Special attention has been paid to multi resource-based ...

  • Synthesis and assessment of waste-to-resource routes for circular economy 

    Pacheco López, Adrian; Somoza Tornos, Ana; Muñoz Mata, Edrisi; Capon Garcia, Elisabeth; Graells Sobré, Moisès; Espuña Camarasa, Antonio (Elsevier, 2020)
    Conference report
