Antimony and arsenic behaviour in lead/zinc mine tailings during storage under vegetation cover (2023)
Journal Article
Burke, I. T., Courtney, R., & Mayes, W. M. (2023). Antimony and arsenic behaviour in lead/zinc mine tailings during storage under vegetation cover. Applied geochemistry : journal of the International Association of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, 158, Article 105806. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeochem.2023.105806

The high-volume, fine grained tailings produced from Pb/Zn ore processing need to be carefully managed. Metalloid elements, As and Sb, are present in tailings at ∼800 and ∼80 mg kg−1 respectively, and in neutral pH leachates at 5–50 μg L−1. Despite t...

Hydrogen-based combined heat and power systems: A review of technologies and challenges (2023)
Journal Article
Yu, S., Fan, Y., Shi, Z., Li, J., Zhao, X., Zhang, T., & Chang, Z. (2023). Hydrogen-based combined heat and power systems: A review of technologies and challenges. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.05.187

This article comprehensively reviews hydrogen-based Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems as an ideal energy system for reducing environmental pollution and carbon emissions. Hydrogen has a heating value three times that of gasoline, and its lifecycl... Read More about Hydrogen-based combined heat and power systems: A review of technologies and challenges.

Energy Schedule Setting Based on Clustering Algorithm and Pattern Recognition for Non-Residential Buildings Electricity Energy Consumption (2023)
Journal Article
Cui, Y., Zhu, Z., Zhao, X., & Li, Z. (2023). Energy Schedule Setting Based on Clustering Algorithm and Pattern Recognition for Non-Residential Buildings Electricity Energy Consumption. Sustainability, 15(11), Article 8750. https://doi.org/10.3390/su15118750

Building energy modelling (BEM) is crucial for achieving energy conservation in buildings, but occupant energy-related behaviour is often oversimplified in traditional engineering simulation methods and thus causes a significant deviation between ene...

Circular economy landfills for temporary storage and treatment of mineral-rich wastes (2023)
Journal Article
Sapsford, D. J., Stewart, D. I., Sinnett, D. E., Burke, I. T., Cleall, P. J., Harbottle, M. J., Mayes, W., Owen, N. E., Sardo, A. M., & Weightman, A. (2023). Circular economy landfills for temporary storage and treatment of mineral-rich wastes. Proceedings of the ICE - Waste and Resource Management, 176(2), 77-93. https://doi.org/10.1680/jwarm.22.00008

Many countries face serious strategic challenges with the future supply of both aggregates and critical elements. Yet, at the same time, they must sustainably manage continued multimillion tonne annual arisings of mineral-dominated wastes from mining...

Sorption direct air capture with CO2 utilization (2023)
Journal Article
Jiang, L., Liu, W., Liu, W., Wang, R. Q., Gonzalez-Diaz, A., Rojas-Michaga, M. F., Michailos, S., Pourkashanian, M., Zhang, X. J., & Font-Palma, C. (2023). Sorption direct air capture with CO2 utilization. Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 95, Article 101069. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pecs.2022.101069

Direct air capture (DAC) is gathering momentum since it has vast potential and high flexibility to collect CO2 from discrete sources as “synthetic tree” when compared with current CO2 capture technologies, e.g., amine based post-combustion capture. I... Read More about Sorption direct air capture with CO2 utilization.
