Computational characterization of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube functionalized by Fe adatom and Fe substituent for oxygen reduction reaction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein we investigated how Fe-coordinated, N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNT) enhance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity by comparatively studying CNT with different pyridinic and graphitic nitrogen ratios, “Fe-CNT-PA” ...
Immobilization of bilirubin oxidase on graphene oxide flakes with different negative charge density for oxygen reduction. The effect of GO charge density on enzyme coverage, electron transfer rate and current density
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Previously we showed that an effective bilirubin oxidase (BOD)-based biocathode using graphene oxide (GO) could be prepared in 2 steps: 1. electrostatic adsorption of BOD on GO; 2. electrochemical reduction of the BOD-GO ...
Electrodeposition of 70-30 Cu-Ni nanocomposite coatings for enhanced mechanical and corrosion properties
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A copper-nickel alloy (70:30 ratio) was electrochemically deposited and compared to a composite coating incorporating layered silicate platelets to obtain copper-nickel-montmorillonite (MMT). The composite coatings were ...
Carbonaceous and nitrogenous disinfection by-product formation from algal organic matter
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Seasonal algal blooms in drinking water sources release intracellular and extracellular algal organic matter (AOM) in significant concentrations into the water. This organic matter provides precursors for disinfection ...
A comparative study of the growth of Tetraselmis sp. in large scale fixed depth and decreasing depth raceway ponds
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, an alternative approach was proposed where excess seawater would be added only during inoculation (DD) rather than daily addition (FD). Growth and metabolite contents of Tetraselmis sp. weren't affected for ...
Effects of sodium carbonate addition, heat and agitation on swelling and rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The effects of the addition of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and the subsequent simultaneous heating and stirring on the rheological behavior of Ca-bentonite colloidal dispersions have been investigated in this study. Ca-bentonite ...
Hydrothermal liquefaction of marine microalgae biomass using co-solvents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae biomass is a promising conversion technology in which wet biomass is treated under high temperature (280–350 °C) and pressure (5–21 MPa), and the associated water in the wet ...
Poly-carboxylic acids functionalized chitosan nanocarriers for controlled and targeted anti-cancer drug delivery
(
Elsevier Masson SAS
, 2016 , Article)
The present study evaluates the in-vitro cisplatin (CDDP) release from four different poly oxalates cross-linked chitosan (CS) nanocomposites. The poly oxalates were synthesized from the reaction of four different dicarboxylic ...
Enhancing thermal and mechanical response of aluminum using nanolength scale TiC ceramic reinforcement
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
the present work, nano-sized titanium carbide (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were synthesized by powder metallurgy incorporating microwave sintering and hot extrusion. Microstructural, ...
Microalgae harvesting by pH adjusted coagulation-flocculation, recycling of the coagulant and the growth media
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Coagulation-flocculation can be considered as one of the least energy intensive microalgae biomass harvesting processes. However, cost of the coagulant and biomass contamination are two critical issues that need to be ...
