SURFACE MODIFICATION OF TIO2 FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN BIPHASIC AND SINGLE PHASE SYSTEMS
(2016-12-16)
Living style of human kind in this era has a large dependence on energy and petroleum based products. As the population grows; the world’s fossil fuels, minerals, and natural resources are being depleted. Currently, as ...
Deinking Printed Plastic Using Nonionic Surfactant and Cationic Polymer
(2021-08-05)
Plastic recycling has been an ongoing conversation amongst many environmentalists who aim to reduce consumption and use of plastic. Prior to reducing plastic use, it is crucial to consider the current process of recycling ...
Microstructural study of mucin: influence of pH, temperature, concentration and nanoparticles
(2020-12-18)
The aim of this research is to examine the nano- and micro-structure of mucin in response to chemicophysical changes within the aqueous solution. By characterizing the mucin structure across a range of length scales ...
Strategies for Catalytic Upgrading of Vapor Streams from Thermal Fractionation of Biomass
(2016-05)
Herein several strategies for the catalytic upgrading of biomass to green chemicals and fuels are discussed. Both vapor and liquid phase reaction pathways have been investigated. Many different fuel precursors and chemical ...
Reformulation of the solution diffusion theory of OSN and OSRO: influence of sorption, diffusion, pressure, interactions and swelling on membrane performance
(2021-05-15)
Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) and organic solvent reverse osmosis (OSRO) have the potential to revolutionize the chemical industry if used in a widespread manner. Many researchers focus on developing new materials ...
Modeling Oscillatory Flow in a Cone-and-Plate Device Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2019-05-11)
Calcific aortic heart valve disease has been investigated in literature over the past three decades. Researches have been trying to understand the mechanism by which the calcification occurs on the aortic valve leaflets. ...
Examining the Microstructure, Aggregation, and Viscoelastic Gelling Behavior of Mucin Solutions
(2019-08)
Mucin solutions offer a simplified, yet still very complex, opportunity to study the microstructural and mechanical properties of mucosal fluids. The complex viscoelastic behavior of mucus is a result of electrostatic and ...
Vapor-Phase Adsorptive Separation of Bio-Oil Components Using Activated Carbon
(2018-12)
Biofuels processes involve the upgrading of components produced by fractionation of cell wall biopolymers. However, the fractionation is not selective to high-value components, and separation is necessary. The use of ...
USE OF THE HLD EQUATION TO DETERMINE SURFACTANT ADSORPTION AT SOLID SURFACES
(2016-07-08)
The objective of this work is to develop and refine a mathematical model based on the fundamentals of the hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation equation in order to describe and predict surfactant adsorption onto reservoir rocks ...
ALTERNATIVE SURFACTANT FORMULATION FOR NON-AQUEOUS PHASE LIQUID (NAPL) REMOVAL
(2016-05)
Due to the inefficiency of the pump and treat method in removing hydrocarbon contamination from ground water, a new method called surfactant Enhanced Aquifer remediation (SEAR) has been developed. SEAR is just a chemical ...
