To enhance energy efficiency and reduce the overall environmental impact of energy generation and consumption, it is a viable option. This study investigates the impact of critical parameters, namely inclination angle of solar panels, the type of material used in thermo-electric cooling modules, on the performance of a solar PV-thermo electric cooling system. In this research, the impact of inclination angles (15°, 20°, 25°) and two materials (Bismuth telluride and Peltium telluride) of thermoelectric were considered for this study. A comprehensive series of experiments were conducted to analyze the impact of varying inclination angles of the solar panels and material of thermoelectric cooler. The average incident irradiation, panel temperature and outpower of solar panel variation with time are presented. The optimum tilt angle of the solar panel is observed as 20° and material for thermoelectric cooler is Bismuth telluride. When using Bismuth telluride as a thermoelectric material with 20° tilt angle, the solar panel’s temperature decreases by 14% and its outpower is augments by a maximum of 14.5%. The results presented here offer practical guidance for system design and operation, ultimately promoting the widespread adoption of this technology in a more environmentally conscious manner.","PeriodicalId":448145,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering & Environmental Technology","volume":"22 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141715724","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}

It was determined that the concentration of chlorides, sulfates and mineralization in water in 2022 increased by 2–3 times (1190 mg/dm 3 ) compared to 2021 (453 mg/dm 3 ), which is due to the use of sea water in the central water supply and the consequences of a man-made disaster that arose under the influence of military operations. Trends in changes in water quality depending on the season and the influence of various factors on the geochemical composition of underground water resources are analyzed. The results obtained indicate a change in groundwater quality. According to the water quality classification according to the water pollution index (WPI), the observed trend indicates a transition from water of quality class II, characterized as “clean water”, to water of quality class III, which reflects a moderate level of pollution.","PeriodicalId":448145,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering & Environmental Technology","volume":"53 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141689916","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}

It has been estimated that cooling buildings accounts for about 20% of global electricity consumption and this figure continues to grow. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the feasibility of using an air conditioning unit for cooling a residential building, powered by solar energy in the conditions of Iraqi Kurdistan. Such an assessment is required for the sustainable development of the region. The study location is Erbil city in Iraq (latitude: 36.1911 °N, longitude: 44.00917 °E). The PVsyst software tool was used for modeling because it is characterized by great versatility in the field of modeling solar energy systems. The specified solar panel power (kW) was a constant parameter. Variable parameters were height of solar panels, albedo reflector, tracker system. In the current study, three simulations were performed in which the variable parameter was height and four simulations in which the variable parameter was the solar panel› angle. An average of 3.5 kWh was produced throughout the day, and an average of 3.3 kWh was produced during working hours. Only 0.2 kWh was produced outside of working hours, meaning that almost all of the electricity produced is available during working hours. This is useful in countries without high feed-in tariffs where only a small feed into the grid is needed. Also with the lowest calculated values (of all the options under study) the energy produced is 2264 kW/h/year or 2.264 MW/h/year (month – January, panel installation height – 0.5 m, inclination – 20°, azimuth – 0°), greenhouse gas emissions of at least 604.3 kg CO 2 per year are eliminated. At the same time, an additional measure to increase the efficiency of using a solar panel to power an air conditioner is to place reflective material in which the reflection rate or reflection coefficient is different under the solar panels. However, as men - tioned earlier, this is an expensive solution. In the future, it will be beneficial to develop smart control technologies to improve performance and evaluate the impact of a solar air conditioning.","PeriodicalId":448145,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering & Environmental Technology","volume":"27 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141690155","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}

Understanding disturbances that can damage conservation areas drives the need for effective mapping and monitoring. One of the primary disturbances is land cover change caused by forest fires, illegal logging, and other human activities. In this context, remote sensing algorithms such as LandTrendr offer an efficient approach to monitoring vegetation changes and disturbances in conservation areas. This study aims to monitor vegetation changes and disturbances in Gunung Merbabu National Park using the LandTrendr algorithm. Landsat image data from 1994 to 2023 was analyzed using Google Earth Engine. The results showed that the LandTrendr algorithm effectively identified vegetation changes, with forest fires being the primary disturbance. During 1994–2022, total vegetation loss and gain were detected at 933.57 ha and 2279.52 ha, respectively. The results highlight significant changes in the core zone of Gunung Merbabu National Park, mainly due to fires and logging activities. These findings provide a better understanding of the dynamics of vegetation change in Gunung Merbabu National Park and provide relevant insights for conservation area managers to implement appropriate mitigation measures. This research contributes to the literature on monitoring vegetation changes in conservation areas and provides a basis for more effective conservation efforts in Gunung Merbabu National Park and similar areas.","PeriodicalId":448145,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering & Environmental Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141706353","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}

The chemical and morphological characterization of pome-granate peel was conducted through ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and SEM microscopy. The study also investigated various reactional parameters, kinetic, and adsorption isotherm in a batch system. The results revealed that RhB adsorption reaches equilibrium in about 2 hours, with an adsorption capacity of 19.41 mg/g observed at a 50 mg/L of initial RhB concentration. To model the kinetic of RhB adsorption, two well-known models (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order) were applied. The pseudo-second-order model yielded a superior fit for the kinetic data, as evidenced by analyses of R 2 , RMSE, ARE, and χ² values. Additionally, the findings suggest that the adsorp - tion process is not solely governed by intraparticle diffusion. Furthermore, isotherm analysis revealed that the Langmuir model offered a more accurate fit to the equilibrium data, estimating the maximum removal capacity to be 47.17 mg/g. These findings suggest that pomegranate peel offers a promisingly eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for sustainable remediation of textile dyeing effluents.","PeriodicalId":448145,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering & Environmental Technology","volume":"32 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141694384","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}

Gravimetry, spectro, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods are used to identify the liquid smoke for density, phenol, and acetic acid content respectively. The results indicated that increased pyrolysis temperatures caused a reduced biochar yield. However, the liquid smoke yield was found to increase with the temperature.
