Physical mixtures as simple and efficient alternative to alloy carriers in chemical looping processes

Ni-Cu OXYGEN CARRIERS TO REACH ZERO CO AND H2 EMISSIONS IN CHEMICAL-LOOPING COMBUSTION

Polymeric Microparticles as Alternative Carriers for Antidiabetic Glibenclamide Drug

Background: Glibenclamide is a lipophilic drug widely used in type 2 diabetes treatment. However, its low bioavailability limits its use. Thus, novel formulations should be applied to improve the drug’s bioavailability. Objectives: This study aimed to develop alternative carriers for oral delivery of glibenclamide. For this purpose, two biocompatible polymers, poly(e-caprolactone) and poly(but...

Effect of support on reactivity and selectivity of Ni- based oxygen carriers for Chemical-Looping Combustion

Different Ni-based oxygen carriers were prepared by dry impregnation using -Al2O3 as support. The reactivity, selectivity during methane combustion, attrition rate and agglomeration behaviour of the oxygen carriers were measured and analyzed in a termogravimetric analyzer and in a batch fluidized bed during multicycle reductionoxidation tests. * Manuscript

Effect of gas composition in Chemical-Looping Combustion with copper based oxygen carriers: Fate of sulphur

Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) is an emerging technology for CO2 capture because separation of this gas from the other flue gas components is inherent to the process and thus no energy is expended for the separation. Natural or refinery gas can

Coherent Control of Physical and Chemical Processes

The method of coherent control allows one to exploit classical and quantum-mechanical interferences to control the dynamics of atomic, molecular, and solid-state systems, and to drive them into novel, non-equilibrium states. This technique has been widely applied to control both electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in a variety of systems. Typically, a sequence of femtosecond pulses ex...
