Security Length Associated with the Risk of Ammonia Tank Leak Using CTOA Criterion and ALOHA SoftwareAbstract Ammonia is a toxic gas and can cause tragic consequences for humans. The damage level depends on concentration and duration of exposure. The security length associated with the risk of a tank leak at the acute exposure level of 30 ppm (AEGL-1) has been computed. Two tools have been combined: the CTOA criterion and the ALOHA software. The CTOA, a measure [...] |
Challenges of Applying Circular Economy in Agricultural Sustainable Development: A Case Study of Kurdistan Province, IranAbstract Current production and distribution models in agriculture primarily operate based on the 'linear economy' approach. This means that after the exploitation of natural resources and the production of the final product, a significant portion of these resources and products, now contaminated or turned into waste, exit the economic cycle. The circular econom [...] |
