    Abstract: The present invention concerns a drone monitoring method for observing and monitoring agricultural testing fields, comprising the steps of: (a) dividing the testing fields in a set of plots, each of the plots defined in a geographic information system, the plots being defined by coordinate information of boundaries of 2D polygons, (b) defining at least one 2D sampling point in each plot for acquiring drone data, thereby obtaining a set of 2D sampling points, (c) overlaying the set of 2D sampling points with a digital elevation model, thereby obtaining an altitude reference height for each of the 2D sampling points, (d) for each 2D sampling point: determining an altitude coordinate corresponding to said 2D sampling point on the basis of the altitude reference height for said 2D sampling point, and (e) for each 2D sampling point: determining a 3D sampling point by combining said 2D sampling point with the altitude coordinate corresponding to said 2D sampling point, wherein the altitude coordinate is determined by taking into account a canopy height at the 2D sampling point.

    Abstract: A process for the recycling of a vinyl chloride polymer material which comprises an initial level of one or more additive compounds comprises providing an aqueous acid composition comprising one or more alcohols and one or more acids, contacting the vinyl chloride polymer material and a volume of the acid composition to cause extraction of the one or more additive compounds from the vinyl chloride polymer material, wherein the acid composition forms a two-phase system with the vinyl chloride polymer material, comprising a solid phase comprising a purified vinyl chloride polymer material and a liquid phase comprising the alcohol, the water, the acid and the extracted one or more additive compounds, and separating the solid phase comprising the purified vinyl chloride polymer material and the liquid phase comprising the extracted one or more additive compounds.

    Abstract: A method and system for detecting operational irregularities in a thermal energy exchange system. Thermal energy exchange system comprises a first side, a second side and an interface between the first side and the second side. Heating/cooling is generated at the first side upstream to the interface, and heating/cooling is consumed at the second side downstream to the interface. The interface is provided by means of a plurality of substations connected to the first side and the second side, each substation being configured to facilitate thermal energy exchange between the first side and the second side. Measurement data indicative of one or more operational parameters of the first side is obtained, wherein the measurement data is collected by means of a measurement system. The measurement data is monitored so as to identify operational irregularities at the interface and/or the second side.

    Abstract: The present invention is related to a system and method for the removal of carbon dioxide from an atmosphere, more particularly by removing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere using water electrolysis, which produces hydrogen.
    The system and method are based on improvements related to the electrolyser which is fed by a CO 2 -rich, post-capture (bi)carbonate solution, wherein said improvements enable isolation of a 85:15 wt.% CO 2 /O 2 gas mixture from the anolyte during operation, with an in line CO 2 /O 2 separation at the anode of the electrolyser.
