CATALYTIC UPGRADING OF SUGAR DERIVATIVES
(2016-08-12)
With industrial revolution there has been a huge increase in demand for petroleum-based fuel. Detrimental effects on environment due to unprecedented use of fossil fuels and shortage in its availability has spurred the ...
ENHANCEMENT OF ZEOLITE CATALYZED REACTIONS FROM WATER CLUSTERS AND BRONSTED SITE PROXIMITY
(2018)
Zeolites offer many benefits as a catalyst. The adjustable acid sites in zeolites and its well-defined pore structure allows for a fine-tuning of the catalytic performance. The activity and selectivity of several reactions ...
Adsorptive Trapping of Bio-oil Compounds onto Activated Carbon
(2016-08)
Industrialization and its long-term effects on the environment are receiving increased scrutiny from both political and environmental pundits questioning environmental sustainability in a time of globalization. Traditional ...
FUNCTIONALIZATION OF MESOSTRUCTURED SILICA CATALYSTS TO IMPROVE STABILITY AND DECREASE LEACHING DURING C-C BOND FORMING REACTIONS IN THE LIQUID PHASE
(2017-08-01)
The ordered mesoporous silica materials such as MCM-41 and SBA-15 have raised special attention because of its chemical and thermal stability. Several studies have been reported the ubiquitous modification method of the ...
The Development of a Combined Approach for the Real-Time, Non-Destructive Monitoring of In Vitro Bone Tissue Engineered Constructs Utilizing Physio-Metabolic Markers
(2016-08)
Annually, over $2.5 billion is spent on more than 500,000 bone grafts in the US alone, with more than 2 million being implanted worldwide. The limited supply of autografts and complications associated with traditional ...
Adsorption of Biomass Torrefaction Vapors on Activated Carbon
(2017-12)
Energy is a growing need for the modern economy; however, global reliance on nonrenewable resources is problematic. The United States transportation infrastructure in particular was built around the combustion of petroleum ...
