Lca Case Study

Miscanthus lutarioriparius(M. lutarioriparius) in Lake Dongting District are in the situation of being discarded due to the government’s environmental policy, the decomposition of which will bring another pollution risk. The purpose of this study is to environmentally analyze the production of M. lutarioriparius-based oriented strand particleboards(M.OSB) as alternatives to the conventional artificial boards. The production systems were evaluated from a cradle-to-gate perspective using the Life Cycle Assessment(LCA)methodology. Our results showed that the M.OSB had an overall better profile than wood panels, identifying the production of starch adhesives and bio-fuels as the main environmental hotspots. It was also found that annual harvesting and utilization of M. lutarioripariuscould ease the burden to the environment during the decomposition of this plant, and further improve the environmental performance of M.OSB. Sensitivity analyses were conducted on the key parameters, suggesting that there are opportunities for improvement. This study provides useful information for enterprises and policymakers on where to focus their activities, with the aim of making the future of M. lutarioriparius utilization more technically and environmentally favourable.

A case study has been effectively carried out to identify a suitable substrate among halides and pseudohalides for the palladium-catalyzed cyanation reactions under mild conditions. Among the various substrates considered for evaluation, aryl pentafluorobenzenesulfonates and nonaflates were identified to be the best substrates when compared to corresponding halides and pseudohalides. The substoichiometric use of nontoxic, environmentally benign potassium hexacyanoferrate as a cyanide source and exceptionally milder conditions further highlights the significance of the protocol developed. A wide range of electronically biased and sterically challenging substrates provided the corresponding the nitriles in good to excellent yields.

China’s recent environmental turn in urban development has been marked by a rush of urban green projects. Many city governments have lately focused on green infrastructure of a specific kind – the greenway. This article provides a preliminary assessment of the contributions of greenways to a new, environmentally benign form of urbanisation advocated by the central government. Through a case study of the city of Maanshan, it reveals that Chinese greenways are not just a sustainability fix for the economy’s sake, as many urban green projects in China tend to be conceived. Although the greenways are far from being effective in stimulating tourism, they can promote urban liveability beyond the symbolic and lend material support to active travel. These findings endorse an analytical approach that gives equal emphasis to both the physical and political nature of emerging green infrastructure initiatives to more fully appreciate the logics and functions in their ongoing popularity.
