On November 20th, ClearCove presented at the New York Energy Specialty Conference in Albany, NY on the results of its NYSERDA funded demonstration project.
This presentation summarizes the findings of an air emissions and odour sampling program conducted on the Baytex Reno Field. The data was collected in response to local resident complaints of odours in the area. The study collected samples using industry standard procedures and analyzed by state of the art analytical equipment. The results showed that no human health effects were exceeded and that no odour thresholds were exceeded. This study exemplifies how odours may be detected even though the standard analytical practices are not able to measure the odiferous compounds. PAHs were measured in the study and show a petrogenic ligher signature present the ambient air in the region as well as diesel markers from the trucking activity. This summary report was presented on January 22, 2014 to the Peace River AER Public Proceeding (1769924).
The webinar addresses all operators of a vario MAX N/CN cube. We pay attention to frequently asked questions regarding maintenance, method optimization and instrument parameters. Furthermore, we talk about typical sample matrices that can cause problems during the analysis and assist you to solve them.
Elemental analysis does not just start by inserting the sample into the combustion tube! Sample preparation is an essential part of elemental analysis and influences analysis results directly. This webinar addresses all users of elemental analysis and communicates important basics of sample preparation – from homogenization of the sample to wrapping it.

Elemental analysis provides critical information for the evaluation of soil fertility and the elucidation of nutrient cycles. The soil C/N ratio is an important parameter for judging soil fertility, S concentrations are connected to fertilizer inputs and atmospheric deposition, and C concentrations are indicative for soil organic matter content. Because soils are inhomogeneous by nature, sample amount plays in important role in their analysis. This webinar presents the dedicated solutions offered by Elementar for the elemental analysis of soils.
Phytogenic or Petrogenic Hydrocarbons - Using Biomarkers for DelineationChemistry Matters Inc.
Presentation on the use of petroleum biomarkers for delineation of petroleum impacts in a high organic soil area (muskeg). Phytogenic hydrocarbons are natural compounds that are misidentified by standard analytical methodologies of high organic content soils as petroleum hydrocrabons. This artificially biases the measurements high for organic rich soils. Petroleum hydrocarbon products have distinct petrogenic biomarkers that can be used to identify if a sample contains petroleum or not. These biomarkers were used in this presentation to determine where petroleum impacts in the soil end and limit the unnecessary excavation of a muskeg chasing samples that were above guidelines due to the presence of natural hydrocarbons. Presentation shows how environmental forensics and petroleum forensics investigations can be used in an environmental site assessment.

Determination of Common Counterions and Impurity Anions in Pharmaceuticals Using a Capillary HPIC System with Suppressed Conductivity and Charge Detection
Recently, identification and quantification of ions in early stage drug development has gained increasing attention, because the APIs maybe contaminated with different counter ions from synthesis steps, and because selecting the counter ion to enhance APIs’ solubility and stability is becoming a key step in formulation development. This presentation demonstrates the identification and quantification of 22 commonly found anions in pharmaceuticals in a single run using a high-pressure capillary IC system (HPIC) with 4-μm particle ion –exchange column, and CD-QD dual detectors.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
