A new class of high-performance nanoporous sorbents has been developed for heavy metal removal that overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies. These novel materials are created from a combination of synthetic mesoporous ceramic substrates that [...]
Thermostability of TiO2 nanoparticle and its Photocatalytic Reactivity at Different Anatase/Rutile Ratio
Tseng Y-H, Lin H-Y, Kuo C-S, Li Y.Y., Lin H-Y, Huang C.P., Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW
Thermostability study of commercial P25 TiO2 nanoparticles was carried out by ascending annealing temperature from 400 to 1100 oC. The thermostability of TiO2 structure was measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Anatase-Rutile phase transition occurred only [...]
Destruction of Organophosphate Agents by Recyclable Catalytic Magnetic Nanoparticles
Organophosphorus pesticides and warfare agents are not readily hydrolyzed in aqueous media without applying extremes of pH, heat, or bleach. We show that suspensions of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles modified with a common antidote, 2-pralidoxime (PAM), [...]
Enhancement of Oxygen Transfer in Fermentation by Use of Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles
Maintaining an adequate oxygen supply to aerobic cell cultures has been a long-standing problem in fermentation technology. Insufficient oxygen transfer rates limit cell growth and ultimately process productivity. Our approach to reducing the oxygen transport [...]
Nanostructured perovskite-based oxidation catalysts for improved environmental emission control
The emission control catalyst market is about $11 billion and growing while global concerns over environmental pollution have resulted in increasingly stringent regulations. This business opportunity, however, is complicated by the requirement for higher performance [...]
Nano-Engineering Of Magnetic Particles For Biocatalysis And Bioseparation
Magnetic nanoparticles encapsulated in a thin coating as magnetic separable nano-vehicle for chemical species is a hot but challenging area. The stability of the small magnetic body remains a key issue. In this meeting, we [...]
Gas Sensor Arrays by Supersonic Cluster Beam Deposition
