CATHODIC PROTECTION – AN INTRODUCTION by Javeed Shaikh and Yatin Dambal Corrosion Corrosion is a naturally destructive phenomenon that occurs when some metals are exposed to the environment. The reaction between air, moisture and the metal substrate gives rise to specific chemical reactions that cause the metal to convert to its more chemically-stable oxide, hydroxide, […]

PIPELINE CORROSION AND PROTECTION by Javeed Shaikh and Yatin Dambal The notion of a country in the world without a large and complex network of pipelines is similar to a human body with no arteries. Pipelines that transport and distribute oil, gas, chemicals, water, steam, petroleum products and other substances are of critical significance for

Introduction                                                                                                                Waste will become the major resource in the future circular economy. In particular, E-waste is a major sector growing at an annual rate of about 2 million tonnes (Mt) with rising users of electrical and electronic items worldwide. This is a consequence of the versatility and affordability of technological innovation, thus resulting in

Renewable energy is playing an increasingly important role in addressing some of the key challenges facing today’s global society, such as the cost of energy, energy security, and climate change. The exploitation of renewable energy looks set only to increase across the world as nations seek to meet their legislative and environmental obligations with respect

Continued from Part 1   At present, there is a range of existing mechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrical technologies for storing electrical energy adaptable from small to large scale applications. Of all these technologies, only Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), Pump Hydro and Chemical Energy Storage systems have enough commercial maturity and the ability to

Continued from Part-2   Relative market potential of various market segments; 1) “Islanded” energy storage; 2) “Non-islanded” energy storage; 3) “Islanded” fertilizer; 4) “Non-islanded” fertilizer; 5) “Islanded” energy storage and fertilizer; 6) “Non-islanded” energy storage and fertilizer.

The main challenge during the combustion of NH3 is the production of NOx. According to the J.A Miller during the combustion of NH3, NO is a major product. Reduction of NO: The reaction of NO with NHi (i = 0, 1, 2) leads to the reduction of NO to N2. NO reduction by NH primarily produces N2O
