Abstract:
When burning water-fuel emulsions with a water content of 30% due to decrease in the rate of low-temperature sulfuric acid corrosion to an acceptable level of 0.25 mm/year, condensation heating surface can be installed in the exhaust gas boilers. On the basis of studies and literature data, the values of the bulk density of pollutions in the burning of low-viscosity fuels and water-fuel emulsions based on them were adopted. Relations of the pollution layer thickness on the wall temperature on the basis of the available experimental data on the intensity of pollution at different values of the wall temperature, the literature data, and the calculated values of the bulk density of the pollution layer are obtained. The variable nature of the relations indicates the need to determine the values of the pollution thickness for each appropriate range of wall temperature values. Based on the obtained relations of the mean thickness of the pollutions on the wall temperature, as well as the values of the coefficient of equivalent thermal conductivity, the relations of the pollution coefficients on the wall temperature are constructed. The obtained relations show that at the same wall temperatures during the combustion of water-fuel emulsions with a water content of 30% the value of the pollution coefficients is significantly lower than when burning the non-watered fuel. Comparison of the values of the pollution factor confirms the reliability of the studies of pollution processes and analytically determined values carried out in the experimental setup. The relations of the heat transfer coefficient of the polluted surface at the heating surface temperatures in the range of 70-210 °С for the combustion of low-viscosity fuels and water-fuel emulsions based on them were proposed. It is expediently to evaluate the effect of impurities on the values of thermal efficiency, because they allow to reveal the overall effect on the value of the pollution coefficient and the unevenness of their blowing. The obtained relations of the pollution coefficients, heat transfer and thermal efficiency in the design of convective heating surfaces for exhaust gas boilers are proposed

Abstract:
Introduction. The article discusses increasing the intensity of light incident on the surface of a photovoltaic battery (PVB) based on semiconductor solar battery, methods of cooling the PVB and protecting the surface from contamination have been investigated. To do this, the PVB is the planes that reflect light to the long sides, and a polycarbonate collector with a parallel channel on the back, this device looks like a photovoltaic-thermal battery (PVT). The article presents the results of the study of electrical and thermal parameters of PVT when changing (increasing) the intensity of solar radiation using reflective planes and cooling by means of a collector. The effects of cold water temperature, environmental characteristics, and atmospheric dust on PVT efficiency have been studied. Research methods and materials. The experiment compared the power of ordinary PVB, collector PVT, and PVTs with reflective planes and collectors. The temperature of the hot water in the collector PVT and the reflective planes and in the PVT with the collector is compared. Experiments have also been carried out to protect the surface of the PVB from dust. Initial measurements were made using PVBs with the same electrical parameters. PVBs are set horizontally, one of which is closed with a lid during the day. In the next experiment, it was studied that the degree of contamination of PVBs depends on the angle of installation. Two of them are horizontal, and the other three are at angles of 300, 450 and 600, respectively. Results and discussions. According to the measurement results, ordinary PVBs, PVBs with collector reflectors and PVTs with collectors have the highest electric power. The difference between the PVB with the collector and the reflection planes and the hot water outlet from the PVT with the collector was 200C. It was determined that the hot water temperature would not exceed 40°C in the absence of reflective planes. Besides, most of the dust on the surface of the PVB falls at night and the level of contamination of the PVB for the city of Termez has been determined. PVBs installed at different slope angles were tested for PVBs installed below 450 with moderate levels of contamination and high electrical parameters. Conclusion. The PVT was found to produce 1,5-1,6 times more electricity in the southern regions of the country than the traditional PVB. It has been shown that hot water can be obtained at temperatures above 40ºC in winter. Research and experiments conducted in the conditions of Termez have shown that it is possible to get the necessary amount of electricity and hot water throughout the year to create good conditions in a rural home. Besides, at night the surface of the PVBs was closed to prevent contamination.

Abstract:
The number of thermal power plants is growing due to the industry development and the growth of energy consumption. This leads to an increase in harmful emissions in the atmosphere. There is a necessity to control the emission concentration level in the areas of power plants location. The aim of this work was to study the level of pollution concentration at different distances from the source. The mathematical model and the numerical algorithm were verified by solving test problems and comparing them with the experimental data and numerical results of other authors. Furthermore, the pollution distribution in three-dimensional case was investigated in a real physical scale. CO2 was considered as polluting gas. As a real example, the Ekibastuz SDPP-1 coal-fired thermal power plant was simulated. The remarkable feature of this thermal power plant is that the pollution emits from two chimneys of different heights (330 and 300 m). The results showed that due to the difference between chimney heights (30 m), the pollution concentration from the higher chimney dropped far away from source, than from the lower one (2160 and 1970 m, respectively). Obviously, building higher chimneys helps to reduce the harmful impact of emissions on the environment. Also, it can be used to control the emissions level at already existing power plants.

Abstract:
This study examines the use of bioretention as a strategy to reduce the thermal impact associated with urban stormwater runoff in developing cold water stream watersheds. Temperature and flow data were collected during ten controlled trials at a bioretention facility located in Blacksburg, Virginia. It was determined that bioretention has the ability to reduce the temperature of thermally charged stormwater runoff received from an asphalt surface. Significant reductions in average and peak temperatures were observed. However, this facility was unable to consistently reduce the temperature below the threshold for trout health. The ability of bioretention to reduce runoff flow rates could also serve to reduce the thermal impact. Based on these results it was concluded that bioretention appears to have the capability to reduce the thermal impact of urban stormwater runoff on cold water stream ecosystems.

Abstract:
Thermal pollution of waterbodies occurring from heated stormwater runoff in urban catchments is a growing concern among municipalities in the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains regulatory criteria for temperature of waters of the U.S. as many species of aquatic life depend on an environment that maintains water temperatures below a certain threshold. Thermal pollution from urban stormwater runoff threatens the livelihoods of cold-water fish species, like trout, among other species of wildlife. In order to reduce thermal pollution loading to its streams, a municipality or regulatory authority must first identify the sources of thermal pollution in its waterbodies. This study predicts areas within an urban watershed in the Town of Blacksburg, VA that may be sources of thermal pollution in stormwater runoff by investigating indicators of thermal pollution potential (TPP) through and analysis of land cover types and runoff flow patterns in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. Results of the study provide a theoretical foundation for TPP risk mapping with recommendations for authorities interested in pursuing TPP risk mapping as a tool to guide and focus efforts toward reduction of thermal pollution and land planning.

Abstract:
Stream ecosystems are increasingly at risk for thermal impairment as urbanization intensifies, resulting in more heated runoff from impervious cover that is less likely to be cooled naturally. While several best management practices, including bioretention filters, have been able to reduce thermal pollution, success has been limited. The extent of thermal mitigation required to prevent ecological damage is unknown. A calibrated runoff temperature model of a case study watershed in Blacksburg, VA was developed to determine the cumulative treatment volume of bioretention filters required to reduce thermal impacts caused by runoff from development in the watershed to biologically acceptable levels. A future build out scenario of the study watershed was also analyzed. Results from this study established that runoff thermal pollution cannot be fully reduced to goal thresholds during all storms using bioretention filter retrofits. While retrofitting significantly decreased temperatures and heat exports relative to the controls, increasing treatment volumes did not really enhance mitigation. Alternate thermal mitigation methods which actively remove runoff volume should be considered where more thermal mitigation is required.

Stream temperature is a significant ecological, biological, and chemical property affecting the long-term health of streams. However, as development intensifies, stream ecosystems are increasingly at risk of being damaged by thermal pollution, which causes warmer and less stable temperatures that distress aquatic organisms. While several stormwater management methods that reduce runoff-related pollution, known as best management practices (BMPs), were found to also decrease thermal pollution, their success has been limited. Furthermore, the extent of thermal mitigation required to prevent ecological damage is unclear. This study aimed to determine how much treatment by a popular BMP, the bioretention filter, was necessary across a watershed in Blacksburg, VA to adequately reduce thermal pollution to protect stream health. Mitigation impacts were tested on both existing and predicted future development conditions through model simulations. Results from this study established that thermal pollution from runoff cannot be fully reduced to goal thresholds consistently using bioretention filter retrofits. While retrofitting significantly decreased thermal pollution, increasing treatment volume did not considerably enhance mitigation. Results suggested that bioretention filters are not an effective method, and alternate thermal mitigation practices which actively remove runoff volume should instead be considered where intensive reductions in thermal pollution are necessary.

Abstract:
Trout are an important game species that provide a substantial economic impact in Virginia. Along with other cold-water fish species, trout are extremely susceptible to changes in stream temperatures. Urban development and the increase in impervious surfaces alter the hydrologic cycle in urban watersheds, limiting infiltration and increasing surface runoff. Impervious surfaces absorb and store solar radiation, resulting in higher surfaces temperatures, and then transfer this thermal energy to runoff during a rainfall event, resulting in higher runoff temperatures. Bioretention cells are a common stormwater control practice identified as a possible thermal mitigation practice in urban watersheds harboring cold-water fish species. However, design specifications vary by locality and few studies have explored how design characteristics impact the temperature reduction potential. The goal of this study was to investigate changes in stormwater thermal load due to bioretention cells. In this study two bioretention cells with differing design approaches were monitored to quantify the thermal reduction impact that the bioretention cells have on stormwater from impervious surfaces. Both cells significantly reduced stormwater outflow volume, event mean temperatures and heat loads; however, outflow temperatures repeatedly exceeded the 21°C temperature threshold for cold-water fish species. This finding indicates this practice alone may not be sufficient to reduce runoff temperatures below biological stress thresholds. In addition, previous literature suggested that deeper cells may provide more cooling benefits as deeper soil layers are cooler and have more stable temperatures. In this study, the deeper cell was not as effective in reducing runoff temperatures, likely due to surface overflow and a shorter residence time in the bioretention cell. This finding indicates there is a limit to the effectiveness of cell depth in runoff thermal reduction and that other cell characteristics, such as subsurface drainage system length, may play an important role in runoff temperature reduction.

Cold-water fish species such as trout are a game species of large economic value that are very susceptible to changes in water temperature. Due to warmer runoff temperatures from urban watersheds stream temperatures are increasing, posing a potential impact on the cold-water fish found in these watersheds. Bioretention cells are a common method for treating and reducing pollutants from stormwater in urban areas. Recently, research has focused on the potential of bioretention cells to reduce runoff temperatures in urban watersheds. However, research is limited and does not fully address the bioretention design characteristics that may be beneficial for reducing runoff temperatures. In this study two bioretention with differing design approaches were monitored during summer months to quantify and assess the potential for runoff temperature reduction. Both cells reduced runoff volume, temperature, and overall heat energy leaving the cell. However, outflow temperatures were typically above the stress temperature threshold for many cold-water fish species, indicating that this practice may reduce runoff temperatures to a level that will not stress these fish species. Previous research has suggested that deeper cells may provide more cooling benefits as deeper soil layers are experience cooler and more stable temperatures. In this study, the deeper cell was not as effective in reducing runoff temperatures as the shallow cell with a greater overall volume. This finding suggests that there is a limit to the effectiveness of deeper cells and that other cell characteristics, such as cell volume, play an important role in runoff temperature reduction.

Abstract:
Ce travail porte sur l'étude des potentiels du procédé de gazéification thermique (conversion en gaz combustible de la matière organique et du carbone fixe) pour associer traitement et valorisation (matière et énergie) durable des boues de station d'épuration. De ce procédé, il émane des rejets polluants (conséquences de la composition des boues, notamment des teneurs en métaux et azote). Dans un premier temps, la distribution des métaux entre les phases (solide et gaz) est examinée, en fonction des conditions opératoires du procédé. La localisation (phases porteuses), la spéciation et la mobilité des métaux retenus dans le solide obtenu sont aussi étudiées, afin de déterminer les risques environnementaux qu'il entraîne. Le suivi de la production de composés azotés et soufrés montre ensuite que température et atmosphère sont les paramètres opératoires clé. Grâce à cela, un procédé bi-étagé en température, avec un premier étage de dépollution et un deuxième étage de production de gaz combustibles est proposé. Enfin, la base d'un modèle théorique portant sur l'hydrodynamique et la cinétique dans un réacteur de gazéification à lit fluidisé est proposée
This work focuses on the potential of thermal gasification process (organic matter and fixed carbon conversion to combustible gases) to combine sustainable sewage sludge treatment and valorization (matter and energy). Some pollutants are produced by this process (as a consequence of the sewage sludge composition, mainly metal and nitrogen's content). Firstly, the influence of operating conditions on metal's distribution among the phases (solid and gas) is investigated. The localization (bearing phases), speciation and mobility of metals retained in the produced solid are also analyzed, aiming to determine the environmental risks which they involve. Next, produced nitrogen and sulfur compounds are followed, showing that temperature and treatment atmosphere are the main parameters. Those findings allowed us to propose à two-thermal-stage process, the first stage aiming to get rid of pollutants in the solid and the second one aiming to produce combustible gases. Finally, a theoretical model basis concerning hydrodynamics and kinetics in a fluidized bed is proposed

Abstract:
Urban development significantly increases water temperatures within watersheds, primarily from the construction of impervious surfaces for buildings and pavement. While thermally enriched runoff can be harmful to aquatic life, available research and guidance on predicting these effects is limited. The goal of this assessment is to provide guidance on how to achieve necessary temperature regimes that meet aquatic health criteria for sensitive species such as trout. To address this need, the Minnesota Urban Heat Export Tool (MINUHET) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) models were utilized to simulate hourly streamflow, water temperature, and heat flux in an urban watershed in Blacksburg, VA for typical summer periods using continuous-based simulation. SWMM and MINUHET were combined in a unique, hybrid approach that emphasized each model's strengths, i.e., SWMM for runoff and streamflow, and MINUHET for water temperature. The watershed is 14.1 km², and is portion of Stroubles Creek located near downtown Blackburg, Virginia and the main campus of Virginia Tech. Streamflow, water temperature, and climate data were acquired from Virginia Tech StREAM Lab (Stream Research, Education, and Management) monitoring stations. SWMM and MINUHET were calibrated manually for the summers of 2016, and were validated for the summer of 2015. Model sensitivity analyses revealed that simulations were especially sensitive to imperviousness (SWMM predicted streamflow as outputs) and dew point temperature (MINUHET predicted water temperatures as outputs), both resulted in increased outputs of SWMM and MINUHET models, respectively. Model performance in simulating streamflow was evaluated using Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and correlation (R²). NSE and R² values were 0.65 and 0.7 for the SWMM Model and 0.57 and 0.55 for the MINUHET model during the validation period, indicating that SWMM performed better than MINUHET in streamflow simulation. Streamflow temperatures were simulated using MINUHET with a NSE and R² statistical values of 0.58, and 0.83, respectively, demonstrating a satisfactory simulation of water temperature. Heat loads were simulated using the MINUHET and Hybrid models, demonstrating less Percent BIAS of the Hybrid approach in simulation of watershed total heat load than MINUHET alone. Furthermore, a number of practices were implemented to reduce thermal loading within a watershed. These included infiltration practices, methods for decreasing absorption of thermal energy primarily by reducing albedo, and increased vegetation canopies. An index titled Percentage of Time Temperature Exceeded 21°C Threshold (PTTET) for trout habitat was used to represent the effectiveness of thermal mitigation practices. Installing concrete pavement (thermal diffusivity: 15×10-7 m²/s, pavement thickness: 0.20 m, and heat capacity: 4.0×106 J/m³⋅°C) and Acrylic Coated Galvalume (ACG) roofs for all pavement and roofs, respectively, in the watershed reduced heat load by 45%, and the PTTET index declined 4.5%. Installing bioretention with 61 cm of media thickness, and soil-media infiltration rate of 25 mm/hr. for 53 selected parking lots in the watershed, resulted in 11.1% reduction in watershed heat load and 1.4% reduction in PTTET. Planting forest canopies for the entire pervious area of the watershed, sufficient to shade 90% of all lands, resulted in reduction in heat load by 24% and PTTET by 4.6%.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this thesis was to compare GAC adsorption method, VOCs incinerationmethod and Non-treatment alternative by using LCA to find which method or alternative isenvironmentally preferable. The LCA framework proposed by ISO 14040 (1997) has beenconsidered in this research. The comparison was made by considering a flue gas contaminatedby toluene (with three different concentration 100, 1000, 2000 mg/m3). The plant locationwhere the polluted flue gas is emitted has been assumed to be located in Borås, Sweden. Theflow rate of emitted flue gas was 10000m3/hr. The present thesis report contains two mainparts.The results of LCA showed that when the toluene concentration is low (< 100 mg/m3), GACadsorption method, Non-treatment alternative and VOCs incineration method are respectivelypreferable from environmental point of view. On the other side, when the tolueneconcentration of inlet stream is high (>1000 mg/m3), the order of GAC adsorption method,incineration and Non-treatment alternative is more desirable. Furthermore, the resultsillustrated that as toluene plays the role of fuel as a hydrocarbon, VOCs incineration methodis much more suitable when toluene concentration is high due to lower demand on additionalfuel. In the other words, high toluene concentration of influent leads to less environmentalimpact when VOCs incineration method is exploited. Conversely, the environmental impactof GAC adsorption method is increased when the inlet concentration of toluene is escalated.In overall, the weighted result showed that GAC adsorption method is the most preferablemethod while Non-treatment alternative is the worst.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter depicts the state of the art in remote sensing for urban pollution monitoring, including urban heat islands, urban air quality, and water quality around urban coastlines. Recent developments in spatial and temporal resolutions of modern sensors, and in retrieval methodologies and gap-filling routines, have increased the applicability of remote sensing for urban areas. However, capturing the spatial heterogeneity of urban areas is still challenging, given the spatial resolution limitations of aerosol retrieval algorithms for air-quality monitoring, and of modern thermal sensors for urban heat island analysis. For urban coastal applications, water-quality parameters can now be retrieved with adequate spatial and temporal detail even for localized phenomena such as algal blooms, pollution plumes, and point pollution sources. The chapter reviews the main sensors used, and developments in retrieval algorithms. For urban air quality the MODIS Dark Target (DT), Deep Blue (DB), and the merged DT/DB algorithms are evaluated. For urban heat island and urban climatic analysis using coarse- and medium- resolution thermal sensors, MODIS, Landsat, and ASTER are evaluated. For water-quality monitoring, medium spatial resolution sensors including Landsat, HJ1A/B, and Sentinel 2, are evaluated as potential replacements for expensive routine ship-borne monitoring.

Abstract:
The new EU strategy on adaptation to climate change highlights the urgency of adaptation measures while bringing forth adaptation as vitally important as a response to climate change as mitigation. In order to provide information on how adaptation to climate change has been promoted in Finland and what calls for attention next, we have compiled a comprehensive information package focusing on the following themes: adaptation policy, impacts of climate change including economic impacts, regional adaptation strategies, climate and flood risks in regions and sea areas, and the availability of scientific data. This report consists of two parts. Part 1 of the report examines the work carried out on adaptation in Finland and internationally since 2005, emphasising the directions and priorities of recent research results. The possibilities of adaptation governance are examined through examples, such as how adaptations steering is organised in of the United Kingdom. We also examine other examples and describe the Canadian Climate Change Adaptation Platform (CCAP) model. We apply current information to describe the economic impacts of climate change and highlight the related needs for further information. With regard to regional climate strategy work, we examine the status of adaptation plans by region and the status of the Sámi in national adaptation work. In part 2 of the report, we have collected information on the temporal and local impacts of climate change and compiled extensive tables on changes in weather, climate and marine factors for each of Finland's current regions, the autonomous Åland Islands and five sea areas, the eastern Gulf of Finland, the western Gulf of Finland, the Archipelago Sea, the Bothnian Sea and the Bay of Bothnia. As regards changes in weather and climate factors, the changes already observed in 1991-2020 are examined compared to 1981-2010 and future changes until 2050 are described. For weather and climate factors, we examine average temperature, precipitation, thermal season duration, highest and lowest temperatures per day, the number of frost days, the depth and prevalence of snow, the intensity of heavy rainfall, relative humidity, wind speed, and the amount of frost per season (winter, spring, summer, autumn). Flood risks, i.e. water system floods, run-off water floods and sea water floods, are discussed from the perspective of catchment areas by region. The impacts of floods on the sea in terms of pollution are also assessed by sea area, especially for coastal areas. With regard to marine change factors, we examine surface temperature, salinity, medium water level, sea flood risk, waves, and sea ice. We also describe combined risks towards sea areas. With this report, we demonstrate what is known about climate change adaptation, what is not, and what calls for particular attention. The results can be utilised to strengthen Finland's climate policy so that the implementation of climate change adaptation is strengthened alongside climate change mitigation efforts. In practice, the report serves the reform of the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan and the development of steering measures for adaptation to climate change both nationally and regionally. Due to its scale, the report also serves e.g. the United Nations’ aim of protecting marine life in the Baltic Sea and the national implementation of the EU strategy for adaptation to climate change. As a whole, the implementation of adaptation policy in Finland must be speeded up swiftly in order to achieve the objectives set and ensure sufficient progress in adaptation in different sectors. The development of binding regulation and the systematic evaluation, monitoring and support of voluntary measures play a key role.
