Propylene is the second most important olefin and the second largest volume industrial chemical produced globally. In 2015, the global demand for propylene was about 94 million metric tons. The largest use for propylene is the production of polypropylene, consuming 67% of propylene ... Read More
Solar energy storage has been an extensive research topic among the several thermal energy applications over the past three decades. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems in general, improve the energy efficiency of systems and sustainability of buildings by reducing the mismatch between ... Read More
Oxygen delignification is a technology established worldwide and a common operation in pulp mills that use Kraft cooking. The reasons for using this technology are the reduction of organochlorine compounds in the effluents, and economy of chemicals in the bleaching stage. The objective ... Read More
The aim of this research is to contribute with the development of Carbon Capture and Storage techniques by studying carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption mechanisms in shale reservoirs. Gas desorption is considered a major gas production mechanism and has a relevant role in shale gas ... Read More
Blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers (BBB and BTB) constitute a major obstacle to the transport of therapeutics in brain tumors. Focused ultrasound (FUS), when combined with circulating microbubbles, provides a noninvasive method to locally and transiently disrupt the BBB/BTB. ... Read More
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is developing a deep geological repository as part of Adaptive Phased Management (APM), Canada’s plan for the long-term management of used nuclear fuel. The repository is a multiple barrier system to protect people and the environment. To ... Read More
A poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic platform with a hot-embossed microchannel, 150 mm wide and 20 mm deep, was developed for multiple purpose detection using electrochemical methods. This device is able to accommodate a three-electrode system encased in 1/16" diameter PEEK ... Read More
Recently, hydrogen is widely used as environmental energy and high energy content. The hydrogen is mainly produced by water gas shift reaction(WGSR) from coal to hydrogen process in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle(IGCC) plant. WGSR, well known for hydrogen production, is a ... Read More
Photocatalysis has received considerable attention in recent years with a huge potential in air purification applications. This work focusses on the semi-passive use of photocatalytic surfaces in streets as an innovative method for removing anthropogenic pollutants (especially volatile ... Read More
The CROWN project is a collaboration between 8 partners (LIC Energy, TWI, EDF Energy, DONG Energy, ORE Catapult, Wilton Engineering, Universal Coating, Metallisation) that is born from the offshore wind (OW) industry interest in the potential of Thermally Sprayed Aluminium (TSA) as ... Read More
