Abstract

"The United States manufactured significant quantities of chemical weapons during the Cold War and the years prior. Because the chemical weapons are aging, storage constitutes an ongoing risk to the facility workforces and to the communities nearby. In addition, the Chemical Weapons Convention treaty stipulates that the chemical weapons be destroyed. The United States has destroyed approximately 90 percent of the chemical weapons stockpile located at seven sites. Due to public opposition to the use of incineration to destroy the BGAD stockpile, Congress mandated that non- incineration technologies be identified for use at BGCAPP. As a result, the original BGCAPP design called for munitions to be drained of agent and then for the munition bodies to be washed out using high-pressure hot water. However as part of a larger package of modifications called Engineering Change Proposal 87 (ECP-87), the munition washout step was eliminated. Effects of the Deletion of Chemical Agent Washout on Operations at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant examines the impacts of this design change on operations at BGCAPP and makes recommendations to guide future decision making"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

La digitalisation, ainsi que l’attention croissante donnée à la problématique environnementale, représentent certaines des tendances majeures qui dessineront le futur de l’industrie du papier et de l’emballage. Cela a donné naissance à de nouveaux modes de consommations et, par la suite, à l’adaptation des producteurs à ces changements. Grâce à FEX, une usine pilote grande échelle pour la fabrication de papier, RISE (l’institut de recherche de Suède) offre une solution aux acteurs de l’industrie désireux d’améliorer leur compétitivité en leur permettant d’expérimenter de nouveaux processus de fabrication et de développer de nouveaux produits sous des conditions quasi-industrielles. Cependant, ces mêmes tendances ont modifié le besoin des fabricants en termes d’usines pilotes. Souhaitant améliorer la durabilité financière de FEX, RISE aspire au développement et à l’implémentation de nouveaux modèles d’affaires pour répondre à ces changements. &#13;&#13;Sur cette toile de fond, ce travail visait à proposer des modèles d’affaires alternatifs à celui actuel. Dans un premier temps, la méthodologie suivie consista en la compréhension plus fine du contexte, grâce à une revue de la littérature, ainsi qu’une évaluation des forces et faiblesses de FEX grâce à des interviews et à un sondage des clients. Sur cette base, certains écueils du modèle d’affaires actuel ont été identifiés et, après un processus de génération d’idées se basant sur des outils d’innovation et sur les données révélées par les clients, huit modèles d’affaires ont été établis. Après un contrôle de leur pertinence et de leur faisabilité, trois d’entre eux ont été développés avec plus de détails grâce à des discussions et interviews additionnelles.&#13;&#13;Pour RISE, les suites de ce travail sont doubles. D’une part, ce travail fournit trois modèles d’affaires concrets et justifie en quoi leur implémentation pourrait améliorer la performance financière de FEX. Cependant, ils reposent sur de nombreuses hypothèses ; il a donc été recommandé de continuer par un processus d’expérimentation afin de les confronter à la réalité afin de prendre une décision informée. D’autre part, le processus d’exploration employé devrait lui-même guider RISE dans la découverte et l’évaluation de nouveaux modèles d’affaires dans le futur. Digitalization, together with the recent focus on the environmental issue, represent some of the major trends that will shape the future of the papermaking & packaging industry. This has led to the emergence of new consumption patterns and, subsequently, to producers’ adaptation to those shifts. With FEX, a large-scale papermaking pilot facility, RISE (the research institute of Sweden) offers a solution to industry players willing to enhance their competitiveness by allowing them to experiment production processes and to develop new products under close to industrial conditions. However, these same trends have modified the needs of manufacturers in terms of pilot trials. Wishing to ensure FEX’s financial sustainability, RISE aspires to develop and to implement new business model to respond to these changes. &#13;&#13;Against this background, this paper aimed at proposing alternative business models to the current one. In the first instance, the methodology followed consisted of understanding more deeply the external context – by means of a review of the literature – as well as FEX’s strength and weaknesses thanks to interviews and a customer survey. On this basis, some pitfalls of the current business model were identified and, after an idea generation process relying on business innovation tools and on customers insights, eight business models were laid out. After an evaluation of their suitability and feasibility, three of them were developed in more details thanks to additional interviews and discussions. &#13;&#13;For RISE, the key takeaways are twofold. On the one hand, this work offers three concrete business models and justifies how their implementation might help to improve FEX’s financial performance. However, they rely on numerous assumptions; it was thus recommended to continue with an experimentation process to face them with the reality before any definitive choice. On the other hand, the exploration process employed itself should guide RISE if the institute wishes to discover and evaluate new business models in the future.

Abstract

The conversion and storage of renewable energy sources is key to the transition from a fossil-fuel-based economy to a low-carbon society. Many new game-changing materials have already impacted our lives and contributed to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, such as high-efficiency photovoltaic cells, blue light-emitting diodes, and cathodes for Li-ion batteries. However, new breakthroughs in materials science and technology are required to boost the clean energy transition. All success stories in materials science are built upon a tailored control of the interconnected processes that take place at the nanoscale, such as charge excitation, charge transport and recombination, ionic diffusion, intercalation, and the interfacial transfer of matter and charge. Nanostructured materials, thanks to their ultra-small building blocks and the high interface-to-volume ratio, offer a rich toolbox to scientists that aspire to improve the energy conversion efficiency or the power and energy density of a material. Furthermore, new phenomena arise in nanoparticles, such as surface plasmon resonance, superparamegntism, and exciton confinement. The ten articles published in this Special Issue showcase the different applications of nanomaterials in the field of energy storage and conversion, including electrodes for Li-ion batteries and beyond, photovoltaic materials, pyroelectric energy harvesting, and (photo)catalytic processes.

Abstract

The use of biomass and organic waste material as a primary resource for the production of fuels, chemicals, and electric power is of growing significance in light of the environmental issues associated with the use of fossil fuels. For this reason, it is vital that new and more efficient technologies for the conversion of biomass are investigated and developed. Today, various advanced methods can be used for the conversion of biomass. These methods are broadly classified into thermochemical conversion, biochemical conversion, and electrochemical conversion. This book collects papers that consider various aspects of sustainability in the conversion of biomass into valuable products, covering all the technical stages from biomass production to residue management. In particular, it focuses on experimental and simulation studies aiming to investigate new processes and technologies on the industrial, pilot, and bench scales.
