Microbial fluxes of greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) in karst ecosystems: comprehensive assessment and biogeochemical modelling (MIFLUKE) University of Antwerp
Gas chromatograph for high performance analysis of permanent gasses Ghent University
Within the scope of research concerning the exchange of methane (CH4) and CO2 (two important greenhouse gases) with the atmosphere. A gass chromatograph, specially designed for the analysis of permanent gasses CO2, N2, O2, H2, CH4 and C2 up to C4 gasses, is being ordered. The desired GC has an excellent sensitivity and precision for the analysis of methane at ambient concentration (+/- 1,8 ppm).
Optimization of scrubbers to reduce ammonia odor (H2S) and greenhouse gases (N2O and CH4) from housing systems Ghent University
Due to the intensification of the livestock sector to meet the growing global meat consumption, higher emissions of pollutants are released into the air. One of the most important is ammonia. Its release causes acidification and eutrophication, both of which lead to biodiversity loss. In 2010, 94% of the anthropogenic ammonia emissions in Europe were attributed to agriculture (UNECE/LRTAP, 2012), putting this sector for a large challenge. As ...
