Assessment of technologies for CO2 capture and storage

The aim of the study was to summarize the current status for carbon capture, transport and storage for CO2 emissions from power stations. Special attention was given to the implications from the introduction of carbon capture and storage in power stations on the efficiency, emissions and costs for electricity generation.

Standard measurement method for the determination of polybrominated flame retardants (pentabromo diphenylether, octabromo diphenylether) in products

Flame retardants (FR) are being used in various products, e.g. electrical components, synthetics, textiles and furniture foams, in order to reduce their flammability. Polybrominated diphenylethers belong to the most important halogenated FRs: they are – due to the production process – bromohomologous mixes of different isomers and congeneres (ΣBr = 1 to 10).
