CO2 emission changes in Lithuanian transport sector over 1996–2007
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Climate change and growing CO2 emission are wildly discussed issue. During transitional economic downturn period (1990–1995) CO2 emission in Lithuania has decreased significantly. However, CO2 emission is growing recently ... -
Oil shales process and the environment
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)There are vast reserves of oil contained in the oil shales of the Americas Brazil, Russia and Eastern Europe but relatively little attention is paid to the energy expended in the mining of these shales and the environmental ... -
Monitoring of Phragmites australis in a constructed wetland. A method for data aggregation
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)A constructed wetland was built on Italian Alps in 2007; this plant was monitored for three years through surveys every two weeks, checking and examining all its components, including vegetation, composed by Phragmites ... -
Evaluation of fermented waste energetic characteristics and the numerical modelling of nitrogen oxides concentrations during combustion
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)The paper presents the numerical modelling methodology of separated gaseous pollutants concentrations assess and results obtained by comparison with the experiment values. Gaseous pollutants separate when the solid fuel, ... -
Building partitions acoustic properties
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)In this article the sound insulation index Rw of partitions is analysed.Sound partitions are built from various materials: bricks, ceramsite blocks, clay blocks, which differ in their composition, structure, and mass. Walls ... -
Statistical evaluation of relationship between the gravel road dustiness and environmental conditions when mixtures of molasses based solution and CaCl2 for reducing dustiness are used
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)The gravel road dust problem is quite acute. In order to minimize the harmful environmental components, dust reduction tests chosen mixtures with molasses base material and calcium chloride. Mixing CaCl2 with a new generation ... -
