New Design for Advanced Zero Emission Power Plant Concept

Oct 18, 2011
Wei Chen
The most significant anthropogenic greenhouse gas is CO 2 , which arises mainly from the use of fossil fuels. A new technology called Advanced Zero Emission Power Plant (AZEP) targeting CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) is being developed. In the AZEP concept, CO 2 -diluted O 2 is used to combust the...

Reduction of Neptunium In Synthetic High Level Liquid Waste
