Adsorption Characteristics of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Zwitterionic Functionalized Alumina: A Molecular Dynamics Study
(2017-05)
A classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to determine the extent of surfactant adsorption on zwitterionic functionalized Al2O3. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a model anionic surfactant, and ...
CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF FURFURAL TO MORE UPGRADABLE PRODUCTS OVER BIFUNCTIONAL CATALYST
(2017)
Furanics are produced in high abundance from the decomposition of biomass. The thermal and chemical instability of these species leads to the formation of humins upon condensation. The ring rearrangement of furfural via ...
Melt Blowing with Louvers and their Effects on Fiber Attenuation and Motion
(2017-12)
A physical plateau in the air field below a melt blowing die was imposed by airfoil shaped louvers. These louvers prevented air jet spreading and imposed a constant average air velocity on the polymer filament, resulting ...
QUANTIFICATION OF NON-IDEAL MIXING IN SODIUM DI (2-ETHYLHEXYL) SULFOSUCCINATE – ANIONIC SURFACTANT MIXTURES
(2017-05)
HLD equation was first introduced by Salager [1], however for predicting the HLD parameters from known parameters of a surfactant in a binary anionic-anionic mixture, Acosta [8] suggested linear mixing rules which can be ...
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 ...
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 ...
