Interaction between Volatile Organic Compounds and Functional Monomers in Molecularly Imprinted Materials
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been playing an increasingly important role in volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing for air quality control. The unique feature of these materials is their biomimetic molecular recognition functionality. Theoretical chemistry [...]
Comparative Analysis for Pseudoboehmite Obtainded by Sol Gel Using Green Chemistry Expert System Sofware
Monohidróxide aluminum, known as pseudoboehmite (AlOOH) was obtained by the sol-gel method by the reaction between aluminum and isopropyl alcohol to produce aluminum isopropoxide using mercuric iodide and Iodine sublimed as catalyst. This work looks [...]
Polymer Coated Nickel Ferrite Nanoparticles for High-gradient Magnetic Separation
Magnetic separation is a complex physical process in which magnetically susceptible composites is extracted from a liquid mixture using magnetic properties of the substances. Several separation procedures are developed based on magnetic susceptibility, magnetohydrostatic, magnetohydrodynamic [...]
A comparative study over the photocatalytic activity of nanostructured TiO2 layers for air purifiers
The research presents an investigation over the efficiency of nanostructured TiO2 films as photocatalysts either in air purification systems or to be integrated in light devices, based on the exploitation of UV or Vis irradiation [...]
Electrochemical activities of hybrid nanocomposite membrane
Organic-inorganic hybrid proton-conducting materials are expected to be the next generation, of high-performance membranes in a variety of fields as they have both the functionality of organic compounds and the stability of inorganic substances. The [...]
Industrial symbiosis and green chemistry: one’s waste is another’s resource!
Hunt A.J., Dodson J.R., Parker H.L., Budarin V.L., Matharu A.S., Clark J.H., Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, UK
Industrial symbiosis, the sharing of industrial by-products to add value, reduce costs and improve the environment, will become increasingly important for the sustainable future of our planet. By employing this philosophy alongside green chemical technologies [...]
Low Weight, Low Cost Commercial-Scale PV Inverter
Ideal Power Converters has developed and patented a new current-modulated electronic power converter topology that reduces the materials, manufacturing, shipping and installation cost of large-scale PV inverters. LCOE is further improved with improved efficiency and [...]
