Space geochemical modelling is a powerful tool for supporting cosmochemistry in studying the geochemistry of visited astronomical objects and predicting the geochemical conditions on more obscure planets and moons. Geochemical models can assist in simulating the evolution of the atmosphere, crust, and interior of planets or moons and the geochemica...
Despite the number of studies on the Moon and other celestial bodies as far as Mars, the number of studies conducted on celestial objects beyond Mars, the significantly high expenses and the required time for space explorations escalate the essence of novel methods to manage such limitations. Space geochemical modelling is a powerful tool for suppo...
The climatic and environmental impact of construction works is well recognized, and in particular, the energy use and carbon emissions associated with both their production (embodied energy/carbon) and their lifetime operation (operational energy/carbon). However, the impact of site works, infrastructures, and landscaping has yet to be explored; mo...
CONSPECTUS: The central theme of this Account is the development of intensified and sustainable chemical processes for the sequestration of CO2 in synergism with the utilization of wastes of industrial, urban, and agricultural origins. A challenge when working with solid waste−fluid reactions is that mass transfer limitations across solid−liquid, s...

Rare earth elements (REEs) are typically found in low concentrations within natural rocks that make up mine tailings, such as carbonates in association with silicates within carbonatite igneous rocks, so it is of interest to develop (bio)hydrometallurgical ways to liberate them from the silicate matrix. This work investigated, through geochemical m...
The growing interest in energy savings and environmental sustainability in buildings has led to green buildings and green façades being considered as innovative solutions. This paper aimed to quantify the impact of ambient air temperature, orientation (west and north) and climbing plant status and type (leaf area index, percent coverage, deciduous...
Urban population growth has resulted in land use changes and the replacement of many vegetated areas with hard surfaces that have a higher heat capacity than vegetation and have negatively impacted the urban microclimate. Green façades are a method of reintroducing vegetation into city landscapes to help remediate the urban hydrological cycle close...
Buildings consume about 30% of the world's resources and around 40% of the world's energy. The growing interest in energy saving and environmental sustainability in buildings, has led to green buildings and green façades being considered as innovative solutions. This paper analyses the thermal performance of green façades reported in the literature...
Green façades are one of many innovative solutions widely applied to buildings to reduce energy consumption. Green façades can mitigate urban heat through evapotranspiration and shading; however, the relative contribution of interception of solar radiation (shade cooling) versus transpiration (evapotranspirative cooling) is not well understood. Thi...
Microplastics (MPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in the environment due to consumer and industrial use. These compounds are very persistent in the environment and human body, which has made them hot environmental topics in recent years; but how this did come about? What factors have been driving the trends of their...
Calcium oxide is a suitable and valuable catalyst for producing biodiesel. In this research, the feasibility of producing biodiesel from waste frying oil with a new environmentally friendly and low cost heterogeneous solid-base catalyst from waste slag was evaluated. The composition, texture, structure, and chemical characteristics of the converter...
Microplastics (MPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in the environment due to consumer and industrial use. These compounds are very persistent in the environment and human body, meaning they do not break down and can accumulate over time. While an increasing number of studies have been published on these topics in rece...
Constructed wetlands (CWs) are engineered systems that are constructed to mimic natural wetlands. These systems simulate the processes that happen in natural wetlands and remove pollutants from wastewater. CWs have been used to treat a wide range of waste streams, including landfill leachate, and they have shown relatively good removal efficiencies...
This article presents and discusses the scientific publication record from 1910 to 2020 on two topics: "climate" and "climate change/global warming/climate emergency". The goal is to comparatively visualize how these two distinct publication records have evolved over time, from different classification perspectives, using publication ratios as the...
