Biodesulfurization offers an attractive alternative to conventional hydrodesulfurization due to the mild operating conditions and reaction specificity afforded by the biocatalyst. The enzymatic pathway existing in Rhodococcus has been demonstrated to oxidatively desulfurize the organic sulfur occurring in dibenzothiophene while leaving the hydrocarbon intact. In order for biodesulfurization to ...

A simple atomizing device is presented capable of generating controlled spray by using an electric field either in isothermal and burning conditions. The stability operating range of controlling parameters (e.g. liquid flow rate and applied voltage) is determined. The coupling of atomization and combustion processes is analyzed by measuring, using a PDA system, the drop diameter distribution as...

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have much attention for flexible, low cost, and ease of processing. The step-edge vertical-channel OFET (SVC-OFET) is one of vertical OFETs that can easily achieve a submicron channel using the step-edge structure [1]. On the other hand, the electrospray deposition (ESD) method is simple solution process used solution spray formed by electric field betwe...

InZnO TFTs fabricated from an aqueous solution exhibited a high field effect mobility of 19.5 cm/V·s and a low off-current of 10 A at 300 oC. Carbon-related defects were considered acting as trap centers in InZnO thin films and affected onand off-currents of TFTs. Since much lower concentrations of carbon remained in the aqueous solution-derived InZnO thin films, i.e., the capture of electrons ...

the spray characteristics of the fuel greatly influence emissions from diesel engines. spray development plays a vital role in improving the combustion and emission characteristics of fuel because it directly affects the air- fuel mixture formation. the spray characteristics of fuel mainly depend on fuel injection process, fuel density, fuel viscosity, ambient pressure and temperature. among th...

piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility and flow properties, poor dissolution and poor wetting. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of piroxicam. microparticles containing piroxicam were produced by spray drying, using isopropyl alcohol and water in the ratio of 40:60 v/v as solvent system, and spray chilling technology by melting the ...

Abstract Electronic fibers/textiles have great potential for applications in smart wearables due to their excellent flexibility, air permeability, and wearing comfort. However, it is still challenging produce reliable electronic textiles at low cost a large scale. Herein, we report spraying‐spinning process fabricating yarns with stability durability. Cotton sliver, which the raw material spinn...
