Bioremediation of Pentachlorophenol and Bleach Plant Effluent by Trametes versicolor and its Extracellular Fluid, Focused on Intermediates and Products Formed and the Role of Protein Binding of Chlorinated Compounds in a Two-stage Reactor System
(2008-09-09)
Bioremediation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) from aqueous solutions can provide valuable methods to remove other toxins from aqueous solutions, those that are more or less persistent or toxic than PCP. Understanding the ...
Specific Interactions of Carbon Dioxide in Supercritical Fluid Processes and Nanoparticle Processing
(2008-09-09)
Specific interactions of molecules with supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) are of fundamental importance to the understanding of current processes and to the development of new processes. While relatively weak interactions ...
Molecular Bonding in Product Engineering
(2009-02-23)
Molecular Bonding plays an important role in the performance of product and chemical processes. Various types of bonds are: ionic bond, covalent bond, co-ordinate bond, metallic bond, van der Waal’s bond and hydrogen bond. ...
Low Temperature Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide Using Microfibrous Entrapped Catalysts for Fire Escape Mask Application
(2009-02-23)
The prime reason for life casualties in fire is not the fire itself but poisoning caused by presence of carbon monoxide. It has been reported by American Medical Association that CO causes about 2100 deaths per year and ...
Effect of Process Parameters on Methanol to Olefins Reactions over SAPO Catalysts
(2009-02-23)
Acidic catalysts such as silicoaluminophosphate oxides (SAPO) have been known to play an essential role in olefins synthesis reactions. Because of their unique selectivity towards light olefins, these SAPO catalysts offer ...
The Auburn Engineering Technical Assistance Program Investigation of Polyvinyl Alcohol Film Developments Pertaining to Radioactive Particle Decontamination and Industrial Waste Minimization
(2009-02-23)
Formula optimization of new products and improvement of existing merchandise is practiced in many different industries including paints and dyes, polymers and plastics, foods, personal care, detergents, pharmaceuticals and ...
Cellulose Digestibility, Ethanol Yield, and Lignin Recovery from Corn Stover Fractionated by a Two-Stage Dilute-Acid and Dilute-Alkaline Process
(2008-09-09)
Dilute-acid pretreated corn stover (PCS) from NREL has been delignified using dilute sodium hydroxide extraction to see how this treatment affects enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharafication and fermentation ...
Nanoparticles and Nanofibers Production Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
(2008-09-09)
This dissertation deals with the production of nanostructured organic, inorganic and biopolymer materials using supercritical carbon dioxide. Over the past decade, supercritical fluids (SCFs) have emerged for particle ...
Bioconversion of Corn Stover into Value-Added Chemicals: Dilute Sulfuric Acid Pretreatment, Xylo-Oligosaccharides Production, and Lactic Acid Fermentation
(2008-09-09)
In the first part of this dissertation, dilute-acid pretreatment of corn stover was investigated under high-solids condition using a percolation reactor. High-solids condition in a pretreatment process can lead to high ...
