Zintegrowany system badań zanieczyszczenia środowiska oparty na wykorzystaniu analityki chemicznej i biotestów = Integrated system for assessment of environment quality based on chemical analysis and biotests/Integrated system for assessment of environment quality based on chemical analysis and biotests/
PublicationW ostatnich latach coraz częściej do oceny jakości środowiska wykorzystuje się tzw. narzędzia zintegrowane, czyli połączenie analiz chemicznych z mikrobiotestami. Umożliwić to ma identyfikację potencjalnych źródeł toksyczności w analizowanych próbkach. Niestety, znalezienie wyraźnych korelacji pomiędzy wynikami analiz chemicznych oraz oszacowanymi parametrami toksyczności nie jest prostym zadaniem i nastręcza wiele trudności.

Assessment, optimisation and working fluid comparison of organic rankine cycle combined with negative CO2 gas power plant system
PublicationThis study aims to investigate the application of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) as an alternative to low-pressure expansion in the negative CO2 power plant (nCO2PP). The reason for this study is that a detailed analysis of nCO2PP indicates a certain amount of waste heat present in the exhaust gas from the high-to-intermediate pressure gas turbine. Some of this energy can be used by the application of the expansion in a low-pressure...
