Reduction kinetics of lead-rich slag with carbon in the temperature range of 1073 to 1473K by Hou X., Chou K.C., Zhao B.

“…The reduction reaction was found to be mainly liquid-solid reaction, which was chemically controlled at initial stage and diffusion controlled at later stage. The apparent activation energy was calculated to be 83.8 kJ/mol at chemically controlled stage and 224.9 kJ/mol at diffusion controlled stage for reduction of industrial sinter. …”

La biopolitique dans la théorie critique du tourisme : une critique radicale de la critique by Rodanthi Tzanelli

“…Cette critique doit s’articuler avec les questions de (a) pouvoir institutionnel et discursif dans la création des mondes et des destinations touristiques (worldmaking, Hollinshead, 2009a), mais aussi, et surtout, (b) les contre-discours analogues institués par les chercheurs critiques en études touristiques, qui cherchent à légitimer leur propre communauté épistémique et à produire ainsi une voix majoritaire assurant un soutien apparent (mais non exempt d’intérêts ou de motivations) à des causes moralement justes pour un meilleur avenir humain et planétaire.…”

Influence of chiken manure biochar on microorganisms and plants by G.S. Galieva, P.A. Kuryntseva, P.Yu. Galitskaya, M.Sh. Tagirov, S.Yu. Selivanovskaya

“…B700 produced the maximum effect on barley and also stimulated its biomass growth. Apparently, the effects produced by the biochars under study diverge due to their different surface areas: the addition of the biochar with the larger specific surface area into the soil enhanced its water-retaining capacity and is, therefore, advantageous for plants.…”
