Therefore, the world should speed up its response to climate change and low-carbon transition. However, there are conflicts of interest between developed and developing countries, and some contradictions are deep-rooted. In order to find the future survival path of humanity, all countries need to make concessions to realise joint cooperation. The article studied the two significant issues facing international cooperation to achieve lowcarbon and examined the difficulties faced by the world's top ten greenhouse gas emitting developed and developing countries in the process of the low-carbon transition. Based on the research analyse and Covid-19 impact, some feasible suggestions for individuals and countries are put forward to achieve decarbonisation.","PeriodicalId":390588,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Materials Chemistry and Environmental Engineering","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123993114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typical geothermal systems are introduced respectively including dry steam power plant, flash power plant, binary system, EGS technologies as well as heating system. Some new ideas and models for exploitation are gathered. It’s pointed out that utilizing geothermal fluid step by step (such as applying combined system) can improve the efficiency significantly because of the lower reinjection temperature. For the evaluation of geothermal systems, the emission intensity is nearly zero while it’s noteworthy that the toxic chemical may be released and geological disasters may be caused during drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Geothermal energy is competitive in electricity market due to the low running costs, and the installed capacity of geothermal energy will continue to increase.","PeriodicalId":390588,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Materials Chemistry and Environmental Engineering","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131804965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With a long period of development, wetting behaviors, surface evaporation, chemical analysis, and morphology control of nano-droplets are explored in the laboratory. The nano-droplets can be potentially useful in many interdisciplinary areas. Several potential applications in three areas will be reviewed, including the industry, the laboratory, and the medical treatment. Industrial applications involve cutting fluid in ultra-precision machining, surface agglomeration during 3D nano-inkjet printing process, in-plane silicon nanowire thin film transistors (TFTs), and anisotropic conductive adhesives for integrated electronics; laboratory applications involve nanoextraction and ultrafast microanalysis, “bottom-up” material preparation techniques, nanoscale liquid transport, and generation of nano-droplets in liquid media; applications in medical treatment involve intradermal vaccine delivery, proteomic analysis, and histotripsy. These applications have been demonstrated in industrial devices, chemical analysis, and a wide range of nanostructures with wetting properties. However, many other potential applications still remain to be explored. The need of exploring potential applications of novel and complex nano-droplets is still critical. In addition, trying to understand the size, such as the smallest size, of various kinds of nano-droplets is expected to enrich applications with nanotechnology.","PeriodicalId":390588,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Materials Chemistry and Environmental Engineering","volume":"165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132729705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biofilm is proved to be more efficient than planktonic cells in PAHs degradation process, due to their high tolerance to harsh environments and regulation mechanisms. Therefore, biofilm, as an eco-friendly and efficient method, has been widely and successfully used for PAHs degradation. This review discussed biofilm’s composition and formation, mechanism of biofilm-mediates PAHs degradation. Furthermore, the main factors influencing biofilm-mediated PAHs degradation are described, these factors can affect PAHs degradation by influencing metabolic pathway and/or biofilm growth. Physical factors, like pH and temperature, are directly influencing microorganisms’ activity, while nutrient supplements and bioavailability also play critical role in the degradation process. The current applications of biofilm-mediates PAHs degradation are also reviewed, including various biofilm reactors and in-situ methods. However, there are some problems that needs to be addressed for large-scale application of biofilm, such as limited research conditions. Overall, this article reviews biofilm-mediated PAHs degradation in many aspects, and provides some ideas of future research direction.","PeriodicalId":390588,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Materials Chemistry and Environmental Engineering","volume":"28 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131505137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
