A plasma-catalytic combined reactor system was used to decompose volatile organic compounds. Metal oxide catalysts, as well as Pt-based catalyst, were employed in the studies. The plasma treatment alone leads to the formation of high concentration of byproducts. A Pt-based catalyst, combined with plasma reactor, was h…
Abstract This work describes different models, developed by the Thermochemical Power Group at the University of Genoa (Italy), for the simulation of solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine hybrid systems. The paper focuses on both “cores” of the system: the fuel cell stack on the one hand and the turbomachinery and the…
Poly-(R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) was synthesized anaerobically in recombinant Escherichia coli. The host anaerobically accumulated PHB to more than 50% of its cell dry weight during cultivation in either growth or nongrowth medium. The maximum specific PHB production rate during growth-associated synthesis was app…
Interest in hydrotalcite-like compounds has grown due to their role in controlling the mobility of aqueous metals in the environment as well as their use as catalysts, catalyst precursors, and specialty chemicals. Although these materials have been studied in a number of contexts, little is known of their thermodynami…
Abstract Fe-rich kaolinites were synthesized at 225°C in distilled water from gels with different Fe/Al ratios (0.15, 0.25, 0.35) and with Si/(Al + Fe) = 2. X-ray diffraction patterns of the reaction products showed that kaolinite was the only long-range crystalline phase synthesized. Analytical electron microscopy an…
The photophysical and photochemical properties and quenching (by 1,4-benzoquinone) of metallophthalocyanine sulfonates of aluminium ( AlPcS mix ), zinc ( ZnPcS mix ), silicon ( SiPcS mix ), germanium ( GePcS mix ) and tin ( SnPcS mix ) are presented. The quantum yield values of fluorescence (Φ F ), triplet state (Φ T…
Botanists recognize only two kinds of New Zealand flax ( Phormium tenax and Phormium colensoi ), while Māori weavers recognise over fifty different cultivars that have specific end-uses. Selected properties of muka 4 (sclerenchyma fiber aggregates extracted from harakeke ( P. tenax )) from three of these cultivars (Ar…
Abstract Potassium (K) release from sources that are not initially exchangeable is attributed to depletion of interlayer K of micas and clay minerals or weathering of feldspars. The aim of the present study was to estimate the K release from interlayer K. Soil samples from 17 field experiments in ley on a range of min…
The room temperature phase diagram of PLZT, (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O 3 , or L / Z / T for L <12 and T <10 was constructed using X‐ray diffraction patterns of sintered and crushed PLZT material. The orthorhombic antiferroelectric phase, a tetragonal phase, the rhombohedral (hexagonal) ferroelectric phases, and the mixed L…
JERK is a Kinetic Monte Carlo model which aims at describing the evolution of materials under irradiation over large time and length scales. The evolution is calculated by collecting only those events which actually modify the objects making up the microstructure (defect clusters, various complexes, dislocations), by…
ABSTRACT Fouling is a common food industry‐wide issue during thermal treatment using heat exchangers. It directly contributes toward increased energy costs in operation and maintenance, production losses and energy and water losses because of the repetitive cleaning operation, i.e., every 5–10 h in fluid food industry…
Nanocrystalline CdS particles directly conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein were prepared by applying the supercritical fluid processing technique, rapid expansion of a supercritical solution into a liquid solvent. The direct conjugation takes advantage of the unique features of the process for nanoparti…
The interband transition contributions to the optical properties of silver nanoparticles in fluoropolymer matrices are investigated. For the materials in this study, nanoparticle synthesis within the existing polymer matrix is accomplished using an infusion process that consists of diffusing an organometallic precurso…
This study focuses on efforts to characterize aging occurring in 15 kV distribution cables in a dry climate. It has been shown that similar changes can be produced by a suitably planned accelerated thermal aging testing in the laboratory. The Arrhenius equation is used for establishing the accelerated aging test param…
Cell extracts of Rhodobacter capsulatus grown on acetate contained an apparent malate synthase activity but lacked isocitrate lyase activity. Therefore, R. capsulatus cannot use the glyoxylate cycle for acetate assimilation, and a different pathway must exist. It is shown that the apparent malate synthase activity is…
The investigation of ECAP of IF steel as a representative of single phase bcc materials demonstrates a practical applicability of this technique for improving its mechanical properties. This paper reports the experimental results on microstructural evolution and the variation of the mechanical properties of IF steel a…
Here we systematically studied the excitation and the fluorescence steady-state spectroscopy of poly(2-methoxy-5(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) with three molecular weights, Mn= 51 kg mol-1, Mn= 86 kg mol-1 and Mn= 125 kg mol-1, in two equally good solvents and several concentrations, from dilute s…
Abstract A variety of technologies is available for the decontamination and dismantling of nuclear facilities. All over the world, these technologies as well as conditioning processes of decommissioning waste are further developed. So far, they have been mainly applied to the dismantling of research and prototype faci…
An extensive X‐ray study of CeO 2 –Nd 2 O 3 solid solutions was performed, and the densities of solid solutions containing various concentrations of NdO 1.5 were measured using several techniques. Solid solutions containing 0–80 mol% NdO 1.5 were synthesized by coprecipitation from Ce(NO 3 ) 3 and Nd(NO 3 ) 3 aqueous…
Abstract A study was conducted to compare the two methods, Henriques Burn Integral and Stoll criteria, in thermal protective performance evaluation on firefighter clothing composites exposed to various thermal hazards. The thermal hazards that the firefighter may encounter during fire fighting are low level thermal ra…
