Synthesis and characterization of cobalt-substituted ferrite nanoparticles using reverse micelles
(2005-09)
With the objective of developing a magnetic nanoparticle based sensor, we have
synthesized cobalt-substituted ferrite particles using reverse micelles. Reverse micelles
have been used to control the nanoparticle size. ...
Optimization of a fluid bed dryer by the implementation of a model predictive controller
(2006)
Optimization of the drying operation requires a model containing the operating variables for fluid bed dryers (FBD). Modeling of FBD is still uncertain since the drying process is unpredictable and relies on empirical ...
Modeling and control of continuous tumble mixing of granular materials
(2005-06)
An approach to automatic control of a continuous tumble mixer of powders is presented. The control system is based on an ideal model that describes the mixer dynamics where the controlled variables are the outlet flow from ...
Synthesis and agglomeration of gold nanoparticles in reverse micelles
(2005)
Reverse micelles prepared in the system water, sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl)
sulfoccinate (AOT), and isooctane were investigated as a templating system for the
production of gold nanoparticles from the reduction of Au (III) ...
Reverse micelles in supercritical carbon dioxide for pharmacological applications: a spectroscopic characterization
(2004)
The aim of this research is to characterize microemulsions in supercritical (sc) CO2 using two spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis and FT-IR) and apply the microemulsion approach to extract impurities from a pharmacological ...
Immobilization of myoglobin from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb1) from Lucina pectinata in hydrophilic polymer networks for H2S biosensor application
(2005)
Hemeproteins are known for their spectroscopic properties which change during
the binding of specific ligands. This project envisioned the immobilization of myoglobin
from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin I from ...
Kinetic, intracellular ATP growth and maintenance studies, and modeling of metabolically engineered Zymomonas mobilis fermenting glucose and xylose mixtures
(2006)
Intracellular adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP) levels were measured in a metabolically engineered Zymomonas mobilis strain 8b over the course of batch fermentations of glucose and xylose mixtures. Recombinant Z. mobilis, a ...
Autothermal reforming (ATR) for fuel cells in automotive applications
(2004)
Autothermal reforming of liquid fuels had been demonstrated to be feasible for use in fuel cell vehicles. One of the main problems with reforming systems is that the concentration product of carbon monoxide has to be less ...
Characterization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell and PEM electrolyzer using non-steady electrochemical techniques.
(2004)
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) and PEM Electrolyzer were
characterized using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Faradaic resistance
(RΩ), kinetic and mass transfer parameters such as charge ...
Operational parameters optimization of cross-flow ceramic membrane ultrafiltration for water depyrogenation
(2004)
Water ultrafiltration has been suggested as an alternative for the removal of
lypopolysaccharides in the production of Water for Injection and, Pyrogen Reduced
Water. Ultrafiltration of water using an annular ceramic ...
