Optimisation of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance Based and Periodic Based Approaches by ALHAJERI, RASHED ABDULLA

“…Although the biggest costs involved in this technology is the installation/capital costs, the subsequent running costs (although less than traditional sources of energy) such as cleaning and maintenance can increase or decrease the feasibility of these panels. Soiling, which is the deposition of materials (usually dust) that obstruct solar radiation falling on the panel and is one of the major factors of production losses in PV panels, and thus managing it will result in a positive economic and technical impact on PV plant feasibility. …”

Evaluation of highly active and stable SiO2 supported Fe-based catalysts for the catalytic methane decomposition into COx free hydrogen and CNTs by Ali, Sardar

“…Moreover, the catalytic activity in terms of methane conversion, methane decomposition rate, growth activities as well as carbon yields increased with an increase in the Fe loading. At an operating temperature of 650 °C and a GHSV of 8000 h−1, the 75FS catalyst, with a composition of 75 wt%Fe/SiO2, demonstrated the highest methane decomposition rate of 0.75gCH4/g-cat.h among the investigated catalysts. …”
