TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo approach is used to solve the radiant energy balance equation and to get the distribution of the local rate of energy absorption as a function of the most significant parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the current state of the art on maleic acid synthesis from biomass-derived chemicals over homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts is presented based on the most recent publications on the topic.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study was performed in order to detect and quantify the environmental impacts deriving from the life cycle of a lager beer produced by an Italian small brewery, investigating and comparing two packaging options: beer in 20 L returnable stainless steel kegs and beer in 33 cL one way glass bottles.

TL;DR: In this article, an annular reactor with a coaxial central lamp was considered, and the resulting 2D radiation field was analyzed using a Monte Carlo technique to solve the radiative transfer equation.

TL;DR: A procedure was developed for the quantitative assessment of key performance indicators suitable for the sustainability analysis of alternative processes, mainly addressing the early stages of process design, to support the decision making process during process development, providing a straightforward assessment of the expected sustainability performances.
