Silver metal nano-matrixes as high efficiency and versatile catalytic reactors for environmental remediation

Nano-porous metallic matrixes (NMMs) offer superior surface to volume ratios as well as enhanced optical, photonic, and electronic properties to bulk metallic materials. Such behaviours are correlated to the nano-scale inter-grain metal domains that favour the presence of electronic vacancies. In this work, continuous 3D NMMs were synthesized for the first time through a simple diffusion-reduct...

Integral Design Methodology of Photocatalytic Reactors for Air Pollution Remediation.

An integral reactor design methodology was developed to address the optimal design of photocatalytic wall reactors to be used in air pollution control. For a target pollutant to be eliminated from an air stream, the proposed methodology is initiated with a mechanistic derived reaction rate. The determination of intrinsic kinetic parameters is associated with the use of a simple geometry laborat...

Legal and Economic Justification for Software Protection

This article discusses legal and economic rationale in regards to open source software protection. Software programs are, under TRIPS1, protected by copyright (reference is made to the Berne Convention2). The issue with this protection is that, due to the dichotomy idea/expression that is typical for copyright protection, reverse engineering of software is not excluded, and copyright is hence f...

Heterogeneous Catalysis for Environmental Remediation

The intensive human activities in chemical industry and environmental purification urge the development of advanced protocols for green production and waste management. In environmental science, developing highly efficient and environmentally-friendly catalytic materials and systems are very favourable approaches to green chemical synthesis and remediation of contaminated air, soil, and wastewa...
