Alkaline agents have an appeal for enhanced oil recovery because of their low cost and favorable performance.
Recently, the use of low-emissivity ("low-e") substrates has become of great interest because of their low cost and favorable infrared optical properties.
The use of glass/polyester composite materials in wind turbines is increasing due to their low cost and favorable mechanical properties.
Nanocrystalline TiO2 has potential for application to photocatalytic degradation of harmful pollutants dispersed in the environment because of its relatively low cost, nontoxicity, favorable optoelectronic properties, and excellent chemical stability [1, 2].
Given the potential low cost and favorable environmental impact of this method, it is expected that PHB purified by alkaline method may be suitable for other non-thermal polymer applications, and as a platform chemical.
The four case studies suggest that housing developers believe that the application of these green technologies can contribute to reputation gaining, reduction in construction and operation cost, receiving favorable land prices, and more channels available for financing.
This is counter-intuitive, as it would be expected that the maximum price for favorable cost-effectiveness would be lower in L countries, reflecting the lower income and lower resources available for healthcare, compared with higher-income countries.
Outside the United States, its operating income rose 8percentto to $1.6 billion, because of higher pricing, lower costs and favorable currency exchange rates.
Specifically, plastic formworks exhibit considerably improved reusability, low manufacturing costs, and favorable recyclability.
Biochar exhibits a great potential to efficiently tackle water contaminants considering the wide availability of feedstock, low-cost and favorable physical/chemical surface characteristics.
