The present study proposes a multispecies transport model to predict calcium carbonate deposition. The model has been applied to predict the deposition flux, the mean fouling layer thickness, and the profile of local fouling thickness along a heated plate of a laminar falling film. Good agreement is found when comparing with experimental data. Similarly, the model is applied to predict the fouling layer in a turbulent annulus flow system and a good agreement of the predicted results is also found with recent experimental data. Finally, solutions in dimensionless forms are presented to show the effects of various dimensionless parameters on calcium carbonate deposition.

In this study, a novel method for calcium carbonate deposition in wood that increases carbon dioxide concentration and fire resistance is proposed. The method promoted the mineralization of radiata pine wood microstructure with calcium carbonate by using a process consisting in the vacuum impregnation of wood with a calcium chloride aqueous solution and the subsequent sequential diffusion of gaseous ammonium and carbon dioxide. In the most favorable conditions, the method yielded a weight gain of about 20 wt.% due to mineralization, which implied the accumulation of 0.467 mmol·g−1 of carbon dioxide in the microstructure of wood. In addition, a weight gain of about 8% was sufficient to provide fire resistance to a level similar to that achieved by a commercially available fire-retardant treatment. The feasibility of retaining carbon dioxide directly inside the wood microstructure can be advantageous for developing wood products with enhanced environmental characteristics. This method can be a potential alternative for users seeking materials that could be effective at supporting a full sustainable development.

Ionization potentials are calculated by simple energy-calibrated molecular orbital techniques for the normal alkanes through C17H36 and for some normal and branched alkyl free radicals. A model is formulated which allows the computations to be extended to extremely large molecules by using "radical" orbitals as well as atomic orbitals in the expansion scheme. Auto-ionization levels as well as ionization potentials are calculated for the radicals. Computed and observed values are in good agreement where recent experimental data are available.
