(author)CO2 readily reacts in aqueous amine solutions. The properties of free CO2 in amine solutions are therefore difficult to obtain directly and are often predicted from the nonreacting molecule N2O due to the similarities in mass and structure. This often-used empirical "CO2/N2O analogy" is verified in this work using molecular simulation....article 2014

Hazenberg, A. (author), Kerstjens, H.A.M. (author), Prins, S.C.L. (author), Vermeulen, K.M. (author), Wijkstra, P.J. (author)Introduction Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) in the Netherlands is normally initiated in hospital, but this is expensive and often a burden for the patient. In this randomised controlled study we investigated whether initiation of HMV at home in patients with chronic respiratory failure is non-inferior to an in hospital based setting. Methods...article 2014

(author)Post combustion CO2 capture (PCC) with amine solvents is seen as one of the possible technologies which can be implemented in the near term to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuel power plants. One of the major concerns for its implementation at large scale in power plants is the high capital and operating costs of the technology....article 2014

Hernandez Mireles, I. (author), van der Stel, R.W. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)It is generally recognized, that algae could be an interesting option for reducing CO2 emissions. Based on light and CO2, algae can be used for the production various economically interesting products. Current algae cultivation techniques, however, still present a number of limitations. Efficient feeding of CO2, especially on a large scale, is...conference paper 2014

(author)Amine-based absorption-desorption processes are considered to be the state-of-the-art technology for CO2 capture. However, the typical amines used are susceptible to oxidative and thermal degradation. Ammonia is formed as a result of oxidative solvent degradation. Because of the volatility of ammonia, significant emissions of ammonia can occur....article 2014

(author)Emission of solvent and its degradation products from a typical absorption-desorption based Post Combustion CO2 Capture (PCCC) process is inevitable and thus, an area of growing concern. Recently, it has been pointed out that emissions can also occur by means of aerosol droplets. Conventional counter-measures such as a water wash and a demister...article 2014

Bolourinejad, P. (author), Shoeibi Omrani, P. (author), Herber, R. (author)In this study, a long-term (up to 1000 years) geochemical modelling of subsurface CO2 storage was carried out on sandstone reservoirs of depleted gas fields in northeast Netherlands. It was found that mineral dissolution/precipitation has only a minor effect on reservoir porosity. In order to validate this, we focused specifically on the...article 2014

van Wees, J.D. (author), Neele, F. (author)Geothermal Energy and CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) are both considered major contributors to the global energy transition. Their success critically depends on subsurface resource quality, which in turn depends on specific subsurface parameters. For CCS and Geothermal Energy these in some respect overlap and others differ. Here, an overview is...conference paper 2013

Hofstee, C. (author), Maas, J.H. (author), Loeve, D. (author)The P18-4 compartment (operated by TAQA Energy B.V.) would be injected by CO2 at a minimum temperature of 12 degrees C. At these temperatures, the CO2 phase will either be a gas or a liquid. As the initial temperature of the reservoir is 120 oC, the CO2 will eventually be the gaseous or (at higher pressures), the supercritical phase. An...conference paper 2013
