SPECIAL SECTION: SOLAR ENERGY
Concentrating Solar Thermal Overview
Concentrating solar thermal (CST) technology can be used to generate electricity, desalinate water, and more. Find out how CST works and the role chemical engineers can play.
Solar Thermochemical Energy Storage
Thermochemical energy storage could be the key to widespread concentrating solar power (CSP) deployment.
Leveraging the Ammonia Industry for Solar Energy Storage
Concentrating solar power (CSP) with energy storage could help meet our zero-emission energy needs. This article explains how the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis could be used for low-cost energy storage in CSP plants.
SAFETY
Making Sense of Laboratory Fire Codes (click here to read this article now)
Laboratory owners are faced with a difficult task when building a new lab or renovating an existing one — two fire-prevention codes specify different restrictions on the quantities of hazardous materials that can be used and stored in that facility.

Adsorption Basics: Part 1
Adsorption can be used to treat waste streams or purify valuable components of a feed. This article describes both equilibrium and mass transfer considerations, and reviews the fundamentals of adsorption system design.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Estimating Air Emission Rates
Stack testing, material balances, emissions factors, and engineering equations are the most common methods that can be used to estimate air emissions.
