Adsorbents for Industrial Pollution Control

Pollution Control in Industrial Processes

Industrial Pollution

Microporous carbon adsorbents with high CO2 capacities for industrial applications.

In this study we attempt to investigate the potential use of two zeolite template carbon (ZTC), EMT-ZTC and FAU-ZTC, to capture CO(2) at room temperature. We report their high pressure CO(2) adsorption isotherms (273 K) that show for FAU-ZTC the highest carbon capture capacity among published carbonaceous materials and competitive data with the best organic and inorganic adsorbing frameworks ev...

China’s provincial industrial pollution: the role of technical efficiency, pollution levy, and pollution quantity control

Using China’s provincial economic and pollution data from 1992 to 2008, we employ data envelope analysis (DEA) and econometric analyses to explicitly estimate technical efficiency and examine the role of technical efficiency, pollution control instruments (pollution levy and pollution quantity control), and prices of production inputs on pollution intensity. We find that an increase of labor wa...

Ownership and Industrial Pollution Control: Evidence from China

This study explores the differences in pollution control performances of industrial enterprises with various ownerships in China – State owned (SOE), collectively or community owned (COE), privately owned (POE), foreign directly invested (FDI) companies as well as joint ventures. A survey was conducted of approximately 1000 industrial firms in three provinces in China, which collects the detail...
