An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed in a smartphone-based platform using a disposable disk-shaped carbon electrode. A time-varying square waveform potential was applied to the working electrode, and the current and ECL intensity data were measured. The applied ... Read More
Recent events underscore the importance of rapid diagnostic tests for detecting viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus or for screening cancer biomarkers. Many fluidic-based diagnostics applications require careful control of chemical and biological species concentrations. In this ... Read More
In this study, the proficiency of an external and internally cooled hydride bed was tested. This was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics® environment utilizing the Heat Transfer Module. This was combined with a custom chemisorption model based on Lototskyy’s Metal hydride isotherm model. ... Read More
A biofilm is a community of microbes embedded in a self-secreted polymer matrix. It may persist in different environments, and in the case of pathogens, these biofilms can be a significant risk factor for foodborne disease and healthcare-associated infections. Due to the unique structure ... Read More
Numerous adsorptive media have been evaluated for the removal of inorganic contaminants in water, such as harmful heavy metals, toxic oxyanions, and radioactive species. Due to the complexity of water chemistry and chemical reactions at adsorptive media surface, lab-scale adsorption ... Read More
Adsorption processes are widely used in the chemical industries for the bulk separation of gases and liquids, and in purification applications. These include the separation of oxygen and nitrogen from air, glucose/fructose separation, and in the purification of fluids. However, the ... Read More
In current work, diffusion processes of oil spills through a thin layer of porous composite materials based on crumb rubber are investigated. Model setup includes a concept of layer built of crumb rubber particles (and composite constituents) distributed on the solid surface, gradually ... Read More
In heterogeneous catalysis, magnetic nanostructures have been mainly used as magnetically recoverable catalysts. Recently, we have shown that magnetic fields can be utilized to initiate polarization-driven catalytic reactions on surfaces of multiferroic nanoparticles (NP) via direct ... Read More
Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) processes are applied for the removal of impurities from various gas streams. The limiting factor of a TSA process is the regeneration step, which is characterized by long heating and cooling times. To reduce the regeneration time, indirectly heated and ... Read More
Low Density Steels (LDS) mostly have additions of aluminum and/or manganese to reduce their weight and to obtain steel grades with various microstructures. The automotive industry is keenly interested in the development of LDS for reducing CO2 emissions by increasing fuel efficiency, ... Read More
