Accelerating process development of complex chemical reactions
(2019-01-26)Process development of new complex reactions in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries is challenging, and expensive. The field is beginning to see a bridging between fundamental first-principles investigations, ... -
Mitigating fouling of heat exchangers with fluoropolymer coatings
(2019-01-31)Fouling is a chronic problem in many heat transfer systems and results in the need for frequent heat exchanger (HEX) cleaning. In the dairy industry, the associated operating cost and environmental impact are substantial. ... -
High-power acid Biophotovoltaic cells for the generation of green electricity
(2018-12-20)This thesis reports the development of acid-operating microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for the investigation of elevated electrical conductivity and resulting enhanced bioelectricity generation. This project describes the use ... -
Studies of Carbon Dioxide Methanation and Related Phenomena in Porous Catalysts
(2019-01-26)This Dissertation investigates the kinetics of CO2 methanation over nickel and cobalt catalysts. Methanation was studied for both Ni/γ-Al2O3 and Co/ZrO2 catalysts, which were synthesised using an incipient wetness impregnation ...
