Journal ArticleDOI
Emergy evaluation using the calculation software SCALE: case study, added value and potential improvements.
TL;DR: The analysis delves into the quantitative comparison of unit emergy values (UEVs) for individual technospheric inputs provided by each method, demonstrating the added value of SCALE to enhance reproducibility, accurateness and completeness of an EME.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergy-based mid-point valuation of ecosystem goods and services for life cycle impact assessment
Benedetto Rugani,Enrico Benetto,Damien Arbault,Ligia Tiruta-Barna,Ligia Tiruta-Barna,Ligia Tiruta-Barna +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential characterization ability of the Emergy method for LCIA of EGSs is investigated, where the authors use the extensive libraries of Unit Emergy Values (UEVs) of primary services and resources as CFs for assessing the physical contribution of EGss in supporting life cycle processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative geochemical modelling using leaching tests: application for coal ashes produced by two South African thermal processes.
Shameer Hareeparsad,Ligia Tiruta-Barna,Ligia Tiruta-Barna,Ligia Tiruta-Barna,Chris J. Brouckaert,Chris Buckley +5 more
TL;DR: This work is part of a largest research project initiated by Sasol and Eskom companies, the largest South African coal consumers, aiming to address the issue of waste management of coal combustion residues and the environmental impact assessment of coal ash disposal on land.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaching of hazardous substances from a composite construction product--an experimental and modelling approach for fibre-cement sheets.
TL;DR: The leaching behaviour of a commercial fibre-cement sheet (FCS) product has been investigated and a chemical-transport model capable to predict the release of major and trace elements over the entire pH range, in function of time was developed.
