🚨 New paper alert! We published our latest work in Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN), resulting from collaboration with the RSBE2 group at the Nantes Université as part of the REWRITE Project EU. In this study, conducted in the Guadalquivir River estuary, we tested different flight configurations to establish a robust quantitative relationship between spectral indices derived from UAV-based multispectral data and the concentration of photosynthetic pigments in microphytobenthic biofilm, measured by HPLC. This study demonstrates the potential of low-altitude, high-spatial-resolution radiometric imaging as an efficient, rapid, and non-destructive complement to in-situ measurements of MPB biomass, offering promising prospects for monitoring estuarine systems at a millimetric scale of variability. 👇 To access the full-text: https://lnkd.in/eZ4K2NRv

To be clear! Biochar (produced through pyrolysis correctly, at minimum 400°C but usually above 650°C, with clean waste-based biomass) can be considered "Inertinite" the geological form of Carbon, with permanence of several million years. This is the breakthrough research by Professor Hamed Sanei that establishes #BIOCHAR as one of the best possible forms of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) - while we reduce emissions of course.

This requires knowledge of which components are damaged by which operating conditions and how this can be recognised during operation or after it. This review... ✅ 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 the chemical, physical and electrochemical causes of all degradation mechanisms of state-of-the-art PEM water electrolysis stacks, ✅ 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀 operating conditions, that particularly increase the degradation of individual materials or components, ✅ 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 how (and how much) degradation phenomena can trigger further degradation, ✅ 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 the consequences of degradation, ✅ 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 which degradation phenomena can be observed in the stack during operation or at investigations in lab-scale, whether these can be assigned to individual components or materials, and whether a quantitative statement about the degradation is possible, ✅ 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 a clear overview of which analysis methods are suitable for this purpose (under the aspects of type of method, time, purpose of application, and invasiveness), ✅ and 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀 the most common diagnostic tools in an application-oriented manner regarding their advantages, possibilities, and limits.

"For the first time, we analyzed the importance of gas purity on #nanomaterial activity and design. We discuss potential mechanisms for #electrocatalyst inactivation, rate limiting steps at the #nano-bio interface, and identify challenges in employing #nanomaterials in industrial applications. Altogether, this perspective aims to illuminate new interdisciplinary opportunities to advance #carbon #circularity and #environmental science through next-generation #nanoscale processes." Congratulations GCI staff member @Stephen McCord and GCI faculty affiliate @Joshua Jack on their exciting new findings! https://lnkd.in/eWvF9tsd

🤝 Yesterday, Nicolas Manier and Mehdi Dionigi from Ineris - Institut national de l'environnement industriel et des risques came to visit us. We were able to carry out nematode chip tests in a microfluidic circuit, the first building block in the work to develop an advanced ecotoxicology tool as part of the EDAPHOS project. 🌿 The Horizon Europe project EDAPHOS aims to implement innovative technologies to monitor polluted soils and implement nature-based solutions to accelerate their restoration and ensure that the processes developed can be integrated into a commercial offer. 🎊 We are therefore very excited about this first step in validating the symbiotic collaboration between ➰ C. elegans ➰ from INERIS and our incubator-friendly, autonomous and compact 🐛 Caterpillar pump 🐛 , "entre 0 et 1001 pattes". #microfluidics #soilremediation #eugrants #scientificinnovation

The Arbeitskreis Prozessanalytik contributed to the scientific program of analytica 2024 with two sessions, the one chaired by Bernhard Lendl Technische Universität Wien centered on new approaches and applications of #midIR laser spectroscopy addressing the needs of the energy transition. Peter Geiser (NEO Monitors) demonstrated successful hydrogen sensing by #TDLAS made possible by a weak, but sharp quadrupole transition of H2 at 2,1 µm. Marc Winter (Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis Inc.) highlighted the advantages of in-line Raman sensing for rapid analysis of multiple gas species at high pressure. Paul Waclawek Technische Universität Wien pointed out the high potential of #photothermalspectroscopy (#ICAPS) demonstrating convincing concepts for ruggedized operation and sub-ppb sensitivities for CO in ultrasmall gas volumes. Paolo de Natale (CNR-INO and LENS) reported on the continued advances in SCAR (saturated-absorption cavity ringdown spectroscopy) toward compact systems capable of quantifying radio carbon (14CO2) in e.g. fuel and even in the atmosphere. #Analytica2024 #MidIRSpectroscopy #EnergyTransition #HydrogenSensing #RamanSensing #PhotothermalSpectroscopy #ICAPS #SCARSpectroscopy #Spectroscopy #InnovationInScience #EnvironmentalMonitoring #AnalyticalChemistry
