The major implications of the First Law (conservation of mass/energy) are straightforward and have been discussed at length elsewhere. In brief, raw material inputs to economic processes are not `consumed'. Having been extracted from the environment in the first place, they eventually return to the environment as wastes. The economic implications of the Second Law (entropy law) are far more subtle. There is considerable literature, initiated by the work of Georgescu-Roegen, on the supposed constraints on economic growth imposed by the fact that economic processes utilize `low-entropy' raw materials (fossil fuels and high grade metal ores) and discard `high entropy' wastes. However, as a practical matter the flux of available low-entropy energy (exergy) from the sun is extremely large and certainly adequate to sustain economic activity in the solar system indefinitely, even though fossil fuel and metal ore stocks may eventually be exhausted. It is argued in this paper that the real economic significance of the Second Law lies in the fact that exergy is: (i) not conserved; and (ii) is a useful common measure of resource quality, as well as quantity, applicable to both materials and energy. Thus, exergy can be used to measure and compare resource inputs and outputs, including wastes and losses. This is potentially important in itself. Moreover, since exergy is not conserved it is truly consumed (i.e. used up) in economic processes. Hence, exergy is no less a `factor of production' than labor or capital. This fact has strong implications for economic growth theory, especially with regard to assessing the role of technical progress.}, file = {:C\:\\datos\\Tesis\\Biblio\\pdfs\\Ayres1998b.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0921-8009}, keywords = {Energy}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2012.06.14} } @Article{Ayres1999, author = {Robert U Ayres}, title = {The second law, the fourth law, recycling and limits to growth}, journal = {Ecological Economics}, year = {1999}, volume = {29}, number = {3}, pages = {473 - 483}, abstract = {Despite counter examples in nature, it has been argued that total recycling is impossible for an industrial society as a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics.

The exergy of a resource accounts for the minimal work necessary to form the resource or for the maximally obtainable amount of work when bringing the resource's components to their most common state in the natural environment. Exergy measures are traditionally applied to assess energy efficiency, regarding the exergy losses in a process system. However, the measure can be utilised as an indicator of resource quality demand when considering the specific resources that contain the exergy. Such an exergy measure indicates the required resources and assesses the total exergy removal from nature in order to provide a product, process or service. In the current work, the exergy concept is combined with a large number of life cycle inventory datasets available with ecoinvent data v1.2. The goal was, first, to provide an additional impact category indicator to Life-Cycle Assessment practitioners. Second, this work aims at making a large source of exergy scores available to scientific communities that apply exergy as a primary indicator for energy efficiency and resource quality demand. Methods  The indicator Cumulative Exergy Demand (CExD) is introduced to depict total exergy removal from nature to provide a product, summing up the exergy of all resources required. CExD assesses the quality of energy demand and includes the exergy of energy carriers as well as of non-energetic materials. In the current paper, the exergy concept was applied to the resources contained in the ecoinvent database, considering chemical, kinetic, hydro-potential, nuclear, solar-radiative and thermal exergies. The impact category indicator is grouped into the eight resource categories fossil, nuclear, hydropower, biomass, other renewables, water, minerals, and metals. Exergy characterization factors for 112 different resources were included in the calculations. Results  CExD was calculated for 2630 ecoinvent product and process systems. The results are presented as average values and for 26 specific groups containing 1197 products, processes and infrastructure units. Depending on the process/product group considered, energetic resources make up between 9\% and 100\% of the total CExD, with an average contribution of 88\%. The exergy of water contributes on the average to 8\% the total exergy demand, but to more than 90\% in specific process groups. The average contribution of minerals and metal ores is 4\%, but shows an average value as high as 38\% and 13\%, in metallic products and in building materials, respectively. Looking at individual processes, the contribution of the resource categories varies substantially from these average product group values. In comparison to Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) and the abiotic-resource-depletion category of CML 2001 (CML'01), non-energetic resources tend to be weighted more strongly by the CExD method. Discussion  Energy and matter used in a society are not destroyed but only transformed. What is consumed and eventually depleted is usable energy and usable matter. Exergy is a measure of such useful energy. Therefore, CExD is a suitable energy based indicator for the quality of resources that are removed from nature. Similar to CED, CExD assesses energy use, but regards the quality of the energy and incorporates non-energetic materials like minerals and metals. However, it can be observed for non-renewable energy-intensive products that CExD is very similar to CED. Since CExD considers energetic and non-energetic resources on the basis of exhaustible exergy, the measure is comparable to resource indicators like the resource use category of Eco-indicator 99 and the resource depletion category of CML 2001. An advantage of CExD in comparison to these methods is that exergy is an inherent property of the resource. Therefore less assumptions and subjective choices need to be made in setting up characterization factors. However, CExD does not coversocietal demand (distinguishing between basic demand and luxury), availability or scarcity of the resource. As a consequence of the different weighting approach, CExD may differ considerably from the resource category indicators in Eco-indicator 99 and CML 2001. Conclusions  The current work shows that the exergy concept can be operationalised in product life cycle assessments. CExD is a suitable indicator to assess energy and resource demand. Due to the consideration of the quality of energy and the integration of non-energetic resources, CExD is a more comprehensive indicator than the widely used CED. All of the eight CExD categories proposed are significant contributors to Cumulative Exergy Demand in at least one of the product groups analysed. In product or service assessments and comparative assertions, a careful and concious selection of the appropriate CExD-categories is required based on the energy and resource quality demand concept to be expressed by CExD. Recommendations and Perspectives  A differentiation between the exergy of fossil, nuclear, hydro-potential, biomass, other renewables, water and mineral/metal resources is recommended in order to obtain a more detailed picture of resource quality demand and to recognise trade-offs between resource use, for instance energetic and non-energetic raw materials, or nonrenewable and renewable energies.}}, citeulike-article-id = {9270492}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1065/lca2006.11.282}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/a707x44836102627}, day = {1}, issn = {0948-3349}, owner = {alvalero}, posted-at = {2011-05-10 12:07:55}, publisher = {Springer Berlin / Heidelberg}, timestamp = {2011.05.10} } @Article{Bosjankovic1963, author = {Bosjankovic, F.}, title = {Reference Level of Exergy of Chemically Reacting Systems}, journal = {Forschung im Ingenieurwesen}, year = {1963}, volume = {21}, pages = {151-152} } @InBook{Boulding1964, chapter = {The entropy trap}, pages = {141-144}, title = {The Meaning of the Twentieth Century}, publisher = {George Allen \& Unwit Ltd.

The advantage of using such an approach is that the quality of the resources is taken into account, as opposed to the conventional procedure that uses tonnage as a yardstick. The exergoecology method evaluates mineral resources as the exergy required to replace them from a complete dispersed state to the conditions they were originally found with the best available technologies. The country chosen as a case study is Spain and serves as a representative example of the mineral situation in Europe. The general trend observed is that imports are increasing and domestic production is decreasing. The minerals with higher exergy replacement costs are mainly those imported, including fossil fuels and scarce minerals. In 2005, the domestic production of minerals was higher than the imports but since imports were mainly of scarce minerals, the exergy loss associated with such imports was higher compared to domestic production. As it happens to most European nations, Spain is a very dependent country regarding the supply of fossil fuels but not as much in the case of non-fuel minerals.}, file = {Calvo2015.pdf:pdfs\\Calvo2015.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0360-5442}, keywords = {Material extraction, Domestic material consumption, Exergy replacement costs, Exergy analysis}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2015.09.02}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360544215001073} } @PhdThesis{Calvo2016, author = {Guiomar Calvo}, title = {Exergy assessment of mineral extraction, trade and depletion}, school = {Universidad de Zaragoza}, year = {2016}, month = {February} } @Article{CalvoValeroValero, author = {Calvo, Guiomar and Valero, Alicia and Valero, Antonio}, title = {Thermodynamic Approach to Evaluate the Criticality of Raw Materials and Its Application through a Material Flow Analysis in Europe}, journal = {Journal of Industrial Ecology}, pages = {n/a--n/a}, abstract = {This paper makes a review of current raw material criticality assessment methodologies and proposes a new approach based on the second law of thermodynamics. This is because conventional methods mostly focus on supply risk and economic importance leaving behind relevant factors, such as the physical quality of substances. The new approach is proposed as an additional dimension for the criticality assessment of raw materials through a variable denoted “thermodynamic rarity,” which accounts for the exergy cost required to obtain a mineral commodity from bare rock, using prevailing technology. Accordingly, a given raw material will be thermodynamically rare if it is: (1) currently energy intensive to obtain and (2) scarce in nature. If a given commodity presents a high risk in two of the three dimensions (economic importance, supply risk, and thermodynamic rarity), it is proposed to be critical. As a result, a new critical material list is presented, adding to the 2014 criticality list of the European Commission (EC) Li, Ta, Te, V, and Mo. With this new list and using Sankey diagrams, a material flow analysis has been carried out for Europe (EU-28) for 2014, comparing the results when using tonnage and thermodynamic rarity as units of measure. Through the latter, one can put emphasis on the quality and not only on the quantity of minerals traded and domestically produced in the region, thereby providing a tool for improving resource management.}, doi = {10.1111/jiec.12624}, file = {Calvo2017.pdf:pdfs\\Calvo2017.pdf:PDF}, issn = {1530-9290}, keywords = {critical raw materials, European Union, industrial ecology, material flow analysis, mineral trade, thermodynamic rarity}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jiec.12624} } @Article{CalvoValeroValero2016, author = {Calvo, Guiomar and Valero, Alicia and Valero, Antonio}, title = {Material flow analysis for Europe: An exergoecological approach}, journal = {Ecological Indicators}, year = {2016}, volume = {60}, pages = {603--610}, month = jan, abstract = {Abstract Material flow analysis is a key tool to quantify and monitor the use of natural resources. A very visual way to undertake such analyses representing the mineral trade is through Sankey diagrams, in which the mineral resources that are extracted, imported, exported, recycled and consumed within the given boundaries are represented with the arrows proportional to their respective quantities. Yet Sankey diagrams alone are not sensitive to the quality of the resources as they only reflect tonnage. This issue can lead to misleading conclusions and thereby not effective resource policies. A way to overcome this deficiency is representing the flows in exergy replacement cost (ERC) terms instead of tonnage. Exergy replacement cost is a concept derived from the second law of thermodynamics and assesses the exergy cost required to return with available technologies a given mineral to its initial conditions of composition and concentration in the mines where it was found, once it has been dispersed after use. Using this methodology, minerals are physically valued in terms of their respective scarcities and the effort (in exergy cost terms) required to produce them. Accordingly, in this paper the so-called exergoecology method is used to evaluate mineral trade and foreign mineral dependency in the EU-28 for 1995 to 2012. Using the year 2011 as a case study, it can be seen using this novel approach that 45.8% of the total input of minerals are imported resulting in lower values of self-sufficiency than if a traditional MFA were applied (0.45 for minerals and 0.41 for fossil fuels, in contrast to 0.79 and 0.52 obtained respectively when using tonnes). Analyzing 10 of the 20 minerals deemed critical by the European Commission, of the total internal production, 0.88% corresponded to critical minerals when data were expressed in tonnes and 3.19% when expressed in exergy replacement costs, highlighting their relevance respect to other minerals. This external dependency leaves Europe in a delicate situation regarding fossil fuels and non-fuel minerals supply highlighting the importance of recycling especially scarce minerals and searching for alternative sources.}, file = {Calvo2016.pdf:pdfs\\Calvo2016.pdf:PDF}, issn = {1470-160X}, keywords = {Material flow analysis, Sankey diagram, Exergy replacement cost, Mineral balance, Mineral trade}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X15004264} } @Article{Carmona2015, author = {Carmona, Luis Gabriel and Whiting, Kai and Valero, Alicia and Valero, Antonio}, title = {Colombian mineral resources: An analysis from a Thermodynamic Second Law perspective}, journal = {Resources Policy}, year = {2015}, volume = {45}, pages = {23--28}, month = {Sept.}, abstract = {Abstract Natural non-renewable resources, such as minerals, are becoming increasingly depleted against a backdrop of intense industrialisation.

The conversion processes have been analyzed in terms of the second law of thermodynamics. The analysis allows calculating the exergy (useful energy) embodied in conversion products that can be obtained from the required inputs for the treatment processes. Taking into account the waste materials and the resources to convert them, it proved that recycling is the most efficient option for polyethylene with an efficiency of 62.5% versus 43.6% for incineration and 0.9% for landfilling. Next, waste treatment has been put into the broader perspective of industrial ecology. Exergetic efficiencies of industrial metabolic options have been calculated. Here resources for manufacturing and converting solid products have been considered. Furthermore, selection of one type of conversion excludes the generation of other potential conversion products. Therefore, it has to be taken into account that these latter products still have to be produced starting from virgin resources. Recycling proved to be the most efficient strategy: the ratio è between exergy embodied in all delivered products on one hand, and all exergy withdrawn from the ecosphere or from waste materials on the other hand, is the highest. For polyethylene, è proved to be 0.568, whereas è is 0.503 and 0.329 for incineration and landfilling, respectively.

The overall production chains have been taken into account: not only the agricultural crop production and the industrial conversion into biofuel, but also production of the supply of agricultural resources (pesticides, fertilizers, fuel, seeding material) and industrial resources (energy and chemicals) to transform the crops into biofuel. Simultaneously, byproducts of the agricultural and industrial processes have been taken into account when resources have to be allocated to the biofuels. The technical analysis via the second law of thermodynamics revealed that corn-based EtOH results in the highest production rate with an exergetic fuel content of 68.8 GJ ha-1 yr-1, whereas the RME and SME results were limited to 47.5 and 16.4 GJ ha-1 yr-1. The allocated nonrenewable resource input to deliver these biofuels is significant: 16.5, 15.4, and 5.6 MJ ha-1 yr-1. This means that these biofuels, generally considered as renewable resources, embed a nonrenewable fraction of one-quarter for EtOH and even one-third for RME and SME. This type of analysis provides scientifically sound quantitative information that is necessary with respect to the sustainability analysis of so-called renewable energy.}, file = {:D\:\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Dewulf2005.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2009.05.11} } @Article{Dewulf2007, author = {J .

The method is based on the exergy concept. Consistent exergy data on fossils, nuclear and metal ores, minerals, air, water, land occupation, and renewable energy sources were elaborated, with well defined system boundaries. Based on these data, the method quantifies the exergy “taken away” from natural ecosystems, and is thus called the cumulative exergy extraction from the natural environment (CEENE). The acquired data set was coupled with a state-of-the art life cycle inventory database, ecoinvent. In this way, the method is able to quantitatively distinguish eight categories of resources withdrawn from the natural environment: renewable resources, fossil fuels, nuclear energy, metal ores, minerals, water resources, land resources, and atmospheric resources. Third, the CEENE method is illustrated for a number of products that are available in ecoinvent, and results are compared with common resource oriented LCIA methods. The application to the materials in the ecoinvent database showed that fossil resources and land use are of particular importance with regard to the total CEENE score, although the other resource categories may also be significant.}, file = {:D\:\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Dewulf2007.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2009.05.11} } @Article{Dewulf2007a, author = {J.

The resource intake analysis is based on exergy calculations of both material (chemicals) and energy (utilities) requirements. For two separation processes, crystallisation and preparative chromatography, analysis is not only carried out at the process level (a level), but also at the plant level (b level) taking into account the 6 preceeding synthesis steps towards the diastereoisomers and the supporting processes, e.g. for delivering heating media from natural gas or treating waste gases. Finally, exergetic life cycle analysis allowed the inclusion of the overall industrial metabolism (c level) that is required to deliver all energy and materials to the plant to carry out the separation. The results show that, in this example, the large scale chromatography process is not the most resource efficient option because of its high utilities requirement, despite its lower chemical requirement (180 MJ versus 122 MJ total requirement per mol of the RR stereoisomer (2R,3R)-3- (3-methoxyphenyl)-N,N-2-trimethylpentanamine monohydrochloride 8) (a level). Due to its higher efficiency, the plant only requires 4.6% more resources when it selects chromatography instead of crystallisation (434 versus 415 MJ total requirement per mol of the RR stereoisomer 8) (b level). Since the efficiencies of the overall industry depend on the type of materials and energy that it has to deliver to the plant, overall resource withdrawal from the environment differs by 4.2% for crystallisation and chromatography (883.7 and 920.6 MJ mol21 stereoisomer 8). The study has also shown that resource efficiency gain can be achieved by recycling solvents on the plant. Moreover, it is clear that there is more potential for resource efficiency improvement for the crystallisation than for chromatography because of the different nature of the resources consumed: chemicals, including solvents, versus utilities.}, file = {:D\:\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Dewulf2007a.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2009.05.11} } @Article{Dewulf2008, author = {J.

Their development takes advantage of considering the basic laws of economics and thermodynamics. With respect to the latter, the exergy concept pops up. Although its fundamentals, that is, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, were already established in the 1800s, it is only in the last years that the exergy concept has gained a more widespread interest in process analysis, typically employed to identify inefficiencies. However, exergy analysis today is implemented far beyond technical analysis; it is also employed in environmental, (thermo)economic, and even sustainability analysis of industrial systems. Because natural ecosystems are also subjected to the basic laws of thermodynamics, it is another subject of exergy analysis. After an introduction on the concept itself, this review focuses on the potentialandlimitations of the exergy concept in (1) ecosystem analysis, utilized to describe maximum storage and maximum dissipation of energy flows (2); industrial system analysis: from single process analysis to complete process chain analysis (3); (thermo)economic analysis, with extended exergy accounting; and (4) environmental impact assessment throughout the whole life cycle with quantification of the resource intake and emission effects. Apart from technical system analysis, it proves that exergy as a tool in environmental impact analysis may be the most mature field of application, particularly with respect to resource and efficiency accounting, one of themajorchallengesinthedevelopmentofsustainabletechnology. Far less mature is the exergy analysis of natural ecosystems and the coupling with economic analysis, where a lively debate is presently going on about the actual merits of an exergybased approach.}, file = {:D\:\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Dewulf2008.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2009.05.11} } @Article{Dewulf2009, author = {J.

Based on these three items, the overall balance results into the calculation of net virgin resource savings for different end-of-life scenarios, quantified in Cumulative Exergy Consumption (MJ of exergy). For this specific case, the best end-of-life scenario can save virgin natural resources with a content of 258 GJ of exergy.

Accordingly, the chemical exergy of the different raw materials and utilities involved in the production of nickel is calculated. The results show that nickel processing has higher efficiencies when it is produced from sulphides than from laterites. Sulphide ore processing has efficiencies fluctuating from 0.67 to 0.79, depending on the specific technologies utilised. The higher efficiencies are reached when leaching technologies are used and on the contrary if nickel is produced from laterites, the efficiencies achieved are lower on average (0.38) due to the cost-intensive processing.

The merging of both methodologies allows to have a complete assessment of non-fuel mineral processing. \{TEC\} evaluates the cumulative consumption of non-renewable exergy required to produce a unit of useful product from the raw materials contained in natural deposits, i.e. from the cradle to the market. It further splits the results into the fuel, mineral and emission components so as to show the exergy consumption resulting from each part, thereby identifying the types of resources that are being consumed in each step of the overall production process. A problem detected with the \{TEC\} was that the exergy associated with the mineral component was small compared to that of fuels. This is because the \{TEC\} traditionally uses the chemical exergy of substances in their assessment and fossil fuels eclipse any other raw material. In order to overcome such issue, the \{TEC\} has been complemented with the ERC. The latter accounts for the exergy required to produce minerals from a completely dispersed state to the original conditions in which they were originally found in nature, i.e. the exergy that one would consume to restore minerals from the grave to the cradle. Through ERC, the aim is to account for the dispersion problem associated with minerals, because the scarcer a mineral, the more exergy is associated with its replacement. Results show that when \{ERC\} is embedded into the \{TEC\} infrastructure, the impacts associated with mineral consumption are significantly greater. Accordingly, the inclusion of \{ERC\} into \{TEC\} allows for a more comprehensive consumption of non-fuel mineral resources, thereby providing better indications as to the achievement of a more sustainable production. }, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2014.05.013}, file = {:pdfs\\Domiguez2014.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0360-5442}, keywords = {Exergy analysis}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2014.07.12}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360544214005623} } @PhdThesis{Dominguez2014a, author = {Adriana Dominguez}, title = {Exergy cost assessment in global mining}, school = {Universidad de Zaragoza}, year = {2014}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2014.08.22} } @Article{Dunbar1991, author = {W.R.

Moreover, the usual expression of the classical thermodynamic potentials is only valid near equilibrium. In previous publications, we showed for a chemical system maintained far from equilibrium, that a new thermodynamic potential, the information potential, can be defined by using the stochastic formalism of the Master Equation. Here, we extend this theory to a completely general discrete stochastic system. For this purpose, we use the concept of extropy, which is defined in classical thermodynamics as the total entropy produced in a system and in the reservoirs during their equilibration. We show that the statistical equivalent of the thermodynamic extropy is the relative information. If a coarse-grained description by means of the thermodynamic extensive variables is available (which is the case for many macroscopic systems) the coarse-grained statistical extropy allows one to define the information potential in the thermodynamic limit. Using this potential, we study the evolution of such systems towards a non-equilibrium stationary state.

Its scope of application is constantly evolving, including e.g. application to regional scales and assessing societal consumption patterns. Apart from considering environmental impacts, extensions to the methodology including social and economic impacts are currently being discussed. One of those impacts is resource consumption. It has been argued that the methods for assessing resource consumption in LCA must come from thermodynamics, and must take account of the second law of thermodynamics (entropy law). The challenge arising from this, especially in respect to its application and software implementation, is the increase in data requirements. While already being a data intensive methodology, including a thermodynamic measure for resource consumption in LCA will increase the data that needs to be handled significantly. This can only be managed by employing thermodynamic data bases and combining these with dedicated LCA software. I will present an approach that makes use of the scriptability of a commercial LCA software (Umberto®) and combines LCA data with thermodynamic data where values are stored in a parameterised form. The script then calculates the thermodynamically defined resource consumption and makes it available to the visualisation and analysis tools in the LCA software.

The Foix River watershed, a small river located at the Inland Basins of Catalonia (IBC), has been analyzed. Main results, difficulties, and constraints encountered are shown in the paper. Following WFD's quantity and quality objectives previously defined, water costs are calculated and the equivalence between the exergy loss due to water users and the exergy variation along the river are also analyzed.}, file = {:C\:\\datos\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Martinez2010.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0360-5442}, keywords = {Exergy}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2011.01.12} } @Article{Mcmahon1997, author = {Mcmahon, G.

The exergy theory offers a thermodynamic methodology to account for the consumption of natural resources. However, exergy data on mineral resources available in the literature are inadequate to apply to exergetic life cycle analysis, due to incompleteness, inconsistencies, and a dated thermochemical basis. An uncertainty assessment of the data has to be performed as well. In this work, three recent thermochemical databases were applied to evaluate the chemical exergy of 85 elements and 73 minerals, 21 of which had not yet been quantified in the literature. The process required the choice of a new reference species for aluminum. Muscovite was selected, giving rise to a chemical exergy of 809.4 kJ/mol for aluminum. The theory proved to be robust for the exergy of chemical elements, as exergy values differing by 1.2% on average from most recent literature were found. On the contrary, the exergy values for minerals differed by factors up to 14 from literature values, due to the application of recent thermochemical values and consistently selected reference species. The consistent dataset of this work will enable straightforward resource intake evaluation through an exergetic life cycle assessment.}, file = {:D\:\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Meester2006.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2009.05.11} } @Article{Meester2009, author = {B.

This paper envisages a quantification of all energy and material needs for a family dwelling, both for the construction aspects (‘embodied energy and materials’) and usage aspects. To do so, an exergetic life-cycle assessment has been carried out that enables the quantification of all necessary natural energy and material resources simultaneously. The case study covered 65 optimized Belgian family dwelling types with low energy input (56 MJ/(m3 year)). The study shows that cumulative annual exergy demand is of the order of 65 GJexergy/year, with a limited dependency on the construction type: cavity wall, external insulation or wooden frame. For the cavity wall and external insulation building type, nonrenewable inputs are dominant for the construction with 85–86% of the total exergy to be extracted out of the environment. For the wooden frame, non-renewable resource intake for construction remains 62%. Despite the low-energy building type, heating requirements during the use phase are dominant in the overall resource intake with a 60% of the total annual exergy consumption. In order to make family dwellings less fossil resource dependant, the study learns that particularly reduction of heating requirements should be envisaged.}, file = {:D\:\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Meester2009.pdf:PDF;Meester2009.pdf:pdfs\\Meester2009.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2009.05.11} } @InProceedings{Muys2001, author = {Muys, B. and Wagendrop, T and Aerts, R. and García Quijano, J.}, title = {Ecological sustainability assessment of carbon sequestration and substitution projects using the exergy concept}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Conference Carbon sinks and Biodiversity, Liège}, year = {2001}, month = {Oct.}, file = {Muys2001.pdf:\\\\Morko\\Costurbis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Muys2001.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero} } @Article{Pruschek1970, author = {Pruschek, V.R.}, title = {Die exergie der kernbrennstoffe, The exergy of nuclear fuel }, journal = {Brennstoff-Wärme-Kraft }, year = {1970}, volume = {22}, number = {9}, pages = {429-434}, file = {Pruscheck1970.pdf:\\\\Morko\\Costurbis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Pruscheck1970.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero} } @InProceedings{Rivero2002, author = {Rivero, R. and Montero, G. and Garfias, M.}, title = {The effect of environmental temperature on the chemical exergy of hydrocarbons}, booktitle = {Proceedings of ECOS 2002}, year = {2002}, volume = {1}, pages = {69-78}, address = {Berlin}, month = {3-5 July}, owner = {alvalero} } @InProceedings{Rivero2004a, author = {Rivero, R. and Garfias, M.}, title = {{Standard Chemical Exergy Updated.

The exergy function proposed by Jørgensen, called eco-exergy, is investigated in this paper because of its formulation that differs from the classical one. The two main differences are in the changed reference state, which is more useful for ecological applications, and the contribution of informational exergy that is taken into account. This paper shows how moving from macroscopic to microscopic information storage the exergetic contribution due to information grows and it becomes even three orders of magnitude higher than physical one in the more complex living systems.

From the viewpoint of thermodynamics, any ecosystem is an open system far from thermodynamic equilibrium, in which entropy production is balanced by the outflow of entropy to the environment. I suggest the ‘entropy pump’ hypothesis: the climatic, hydrological, soil and other environmental conditions are organised in such a way that only a natural ecosystem which is specific for these conditions can be in the dynamic equilibrium (steady-state). In the framework of this hypothesis I can calculate the entropy production for the ecosystem under anthropogenic stress. This approach was applied to the analysis of crop production in Hungary in the 1980s. Considering systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium we can prove that the so-called exergy is a functional of a dissipative function, which is undertaken along the trajectory from a thermodynamic equilibrium to a dynamic one.

This paper explains the exergoecological method used for calculating the mineral exergy bonus that Nature gives us for free for providing minerals concentrated in mines and not dispersed in the Earth's crust. The method is based on two concepts: Exergy and the Exergy cost. Exergy measures the minimum (reversible) work required to extract and concentrate the materials from a Reference Environment (RE) to the conditions found in Nature. This RE can be approximated to a completely degraded crepuscular planet with the absence of fossil fuels and mineral deposits. And the exergy cost accounts for the actual exergy required for accomplishing the same process with available technologies. These costs are complementary to the conventional extraction, land-recovering, processing and refining costs. The case studies of two industrial chains: bauxite–alumina–aluminium, and limestone–calcite–lime are presented and discussed. As the method provides values in energy units, the annual exergy decrease in the mineral endowment of the planet due to the extraction of minerals can now take into account the fossil fuel's exergy as well as the non-fuel mineral exergy costs.}, citeulike-article-id = {5924815}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2009.09.013}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0360544209003995}, day = {08}, issn = {03605442}, owner = {alvalero}, posted-at = {2010-08-04 11:52:14}, timestamp = {2010.09.20} } @InProceedings{Valero2009c, author = {Valero D., Alicia and Antonio Valero and Gavin M.

The resources may be physically assessed as its exergy content as well as the exergy required for replacing them from a complete degraded state to the conditions in which they are currently presented in nature. In this paper, an analysis of the state of our mineral resources has been accomplished. For that purpose an exergy accounting of 51 minerals has been carried out throughout the 20th century. This has allowed estimating from geological data when the peak of production of the main mineral commodities could be reached. The obtained Hubbert's bell-shaped curves of the mineral and fossil fuels commodities can now be represented in an all-together exergy–time representation here named as the â€? exergy countdownâ€?. This shows in a very schematic way the amount of exergy resources available in the planet and the possible exhaustion behaviour. Our results show that the peak of production of the most important minerals might be reached before the end of the 21st century. This confirms the Hubbert trend curves for minerals obtained by other authors using a different methodology. These figures may change, as new discoveries are made. However, assuming that these discoveries double, most of the peaks would only displace our concern around 30 years. This is due to our exponential demand growth.

In this evaluation, we have assumed that the concentration exergy is calculated as the minimum energy involved in concentrating a substance from an ideal mixture of two components, which is only strictly valid for ideal mixtures. When there is not chemical cohesion among the substances, it remains valid for solid mixtures. But the cohesion energy is always present in any mineral. Hence, the aim of this paper is twofold: 1) it explain show to calculate the comminution exergy for any mineral or rock as a function of the comminuted size, and 2) what should be the reference level for the average size fragment in the Crepuscular Planet. The results of the study indicate that the comminution exergy term is very low compared to the concentration exergy and can be neglected when assessing the exergy of naturally comminuted minerals found in mines having Thanatia as reference.

Additionally, the energy content of fossil fuels is affected by the conditions of the environment.

As an alternative, we propose to assess mineral resource efficiency through exergy replacement costs instead of using mass terms. Exergy replacement costs represent the useful energy that would be required to return minerals from the most dispersed state (the bedrock) to their original conditions (of composition and concentration in the mineral deposits). Dispersing a scarce mineral such as gold or oil has a much higher replacement cost than that of iron or limestone and in the final accounting, the first minerals have a greater weighting. Consequently, the tonnage produced and dispersion degree are considered in the proposed index. This new index would lead to more developed policies that could reduce the consumption of scarce materials with higher replacement costs.

Allocations among products when one or more by-products come about in a mining or metallurgical process are based either on tonnage or on commercial prices. Both ways of allocating costs entails disadvantages that are analysed in this paper. Besides a rigorous way to allocate costs among non-fuel minerals through the exergy replacement costs is proposed. Particularly, 33 different mineral deposit models where 12 coupled products are obtained have been analysed. Results show that the average difference between the economic approach and the exergy approach range from 0% to 30%. The highest difference is presented in metals such as copper, nickel and cobalt. Therefore, as a case study, exergy cost allocation was applied to copper and nickel production with its respective by-product (cobalt). The results suggest that if exergy replacement cost is applied, cost allocation values are similar to those obtained via the price indicator. This supports the idea that the exergy replacement cost is very close to the value society places on minerals. That said, contrarily to prices, exergy replacement cost does not fluctuate with external factors linked to market mechanisms but remains constant.}, file = {:pdfs\\Valero2015c.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0921-3449}, keywords = {Mining, Metallurgy, LCA, Mineral resources, Cost allocation, Exergy replacement cost}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2015.08.31}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921344915001159} } @Article{VanEygen2016, author = {Van Eygen, Emile and De Meester, Steven and Tran, Ha Phuong and Dewulf, Jo}, title = {Resource savings by urban mining: The case of desktop and laptop computers in Belgium}, journal = {Resources, Conservation and Recycling}, year = {2016}, volume = {107}, pages = {53--64}, month = feb, abstract = {Abstract Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has become increasingly important over the last years. Additionally, the European Union recognizes the growing importance of raw materials, and the crucial role of recycling. In this study the performance of WEEE recycling was assessed for the case of desktop and laptop computers in Belgium in 2013. The analysis was performed in four steps. First, the recycling chain is analyzed through material flow analysis (MFA) at the level of specific materials. Second, an indicator is calculated, which quantifies the effectively recycled weight ratios of the specific materials. Third, a second indicator expresses the recycling efficiency of so-called critical raw materials. Finally, the natural resource consumption of the recycling scheme in a life cycle perspective is calculated using the Cumulative Exergy Extraction from the Natural Environment (CEENE) method, and is benchmarked with a landfill scenario. Overall, the results show that base metals such as ferrous metals, aluminium and copper are recycled to a large extent, but that for precious metals improvements still can be made. The input of criticality (arising from the incoming mass, as well as the individual criticality value of the assessed material) mainly comes from base metals, resulting in a high recovery performance of raw materials criticality. Finally, the natural resource consumption of the recycling scenario is much smaller than in case of landfilling the WEEE: 80 and 87% less resource consumption is achieved for desktops and laptops respectively, hence saving significant primary raw materials.}, file = {VanEygen2016.pdf:pdfs\\VanEygen2016.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0921-3449}, keywords = {WEEE, Recycling, Raw material criticality, MFA, LCA}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921344915301269} } @Article{Vorst2009, author = {Geert Van der Vorst and Herman Van Langenhove and Frederik De Paep and Wim Aelterman and Jules Dingenen and Jo Dewulf}, title = {Exergetic life cycle analysis for the selection of chromatographic separation processes in the pharmaceutical industry: preparative HPLC versus preparative SFC}, journal = {Green Chem.}, year = {2009}, pages = {1-6}, abstract = {Today, environmentally responsible chemistry is of huge importance in the wake of sustainable production. In the field of the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry, preparative supercritical fluid chromatography (Prep-SFC) and preparative high performance liquid chromatography (Prep-HPLC) are widely used chiral separation techniques. Prep-SFC is often named as a green alternative for Prep-HPLC without having a thorough assessment of the greenness. However, if metrics are used for process selection with respect to green chemistry, they mainly show three shortcomings: (1) a narrow system boundary approach is used; (2) energy requirements are barely taken into account and (3) if energy requirements are considered, there is a differentiation in mass and energy inputs. Taking into account these shortcomings, Prep-HPLC and Prep-SFC are now compared and evaluated for their integral resource consumption. The evaluation is performed on a specific enantiomeric separation using exergetic life cycle analysis within enlarging system boundaries a, b and g. Within the a system boundary (process level), Prep-HPLC requires 26.3% more resources quantified in exergy than the Prep-SFC separation due to its inherent higher use of organic solvents. Within the b system boundary (plant level), Prep-HPLC requires 29.1% more resources quantified in exergy than Prep-SFC. However, the Cumulative Exergy Extracted from the Natural Environment (CEENE) to deliver all mass and energy flows to the a and b system boundary via the overall industrial metabolism shows that Prep-SFC requires 34.3% more resources than Prep-HPLC. The poor score of Prep-SFC in the g system boundary is attributed to the high CEENE value related to the production of liquid carbon dioxide and the use of electricity for heating and cooling. It can be concluded that for this case, the most sustainable process as for the integral resource consumption is Prep-HPLC, unlike the general perception that Prep-SFC outperforms Prep-HPLC.}, file = {:D\:\\Tesis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Vorst2009.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, timestamp = {2009.05.11} } @Article{wall_eolss_nat, author = {Wall, G.}, title = {National Exergy Accounting of Natural Resources}, journal = {Eolss Publishers}, year = {2003}, note = {Retrieved May 19, 2005}, file = {Wall_eolss_nat_res.pdf:\\\\Morko\\Costurbis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Wall_eolss_nat_res.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero}, url = {http://www.eolss.net} } @TechReport{Wall1977, author = {Wall, G.}, title = {Exergy - a Useful Concept within Resource Accounting}, institution = { Institute of Theoretical Physics, Göteborg}, year = {1977}, type = {report}, number = {77-42}, file = {Wall1977.pdf:\\\\Morko\\Costurbis\\Bibliografia exergoecologia\\pdfs\\Wall1977.pdf:PDF}, owner = {alvalero} } @Article{Wall2001, author = {Wall, G. and Gong, M.}, title = {On exergy and sustainable development-Part 1: Conditions and concepts}, journal = {Exergy Int.
