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
Microwave heating has been used in industry because of its pollution free and rapid heating technique [1]. It consists of an electromagnetic wave that passes through a media with a frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz [2] to generate heat in the system. The purpose of the current work ... Read More
