Materials that can capture and store CO2 are important. Though CaO is a cheap sorbent, it is inefficient for practical purposes due to sintering and poor diffusion of CO2 through the surface-CaCO3 layer. We have developed a high performance, sintering-resistant CaO-based sorbent by uniformly nanofabricating the CaO nanocrystals on SiO2 microtubes made by organogel templated polymerization.

in this paper, the development of a new potassium carbonateon alumina support sorbent prepared byimpregnating k2co3 with an industrial grade of al2o3 support was investigated. the co2 capturecapacity was measured using real flue gas with 8% co2 and 12% h2o in a fixed-bed reactor at atemperature of 65 °c using breakthrough curves. the developed sorbent showed an adsorptioncapacity of 66.2 mgco2/...

heavy metal contamination in the environment could cause harmful effects both to human health and aquatic life. numerous remediation methods had been developed to encounter with the contamination problem prior to degrade, decrease and to purify the contaminated water at minimal concentration as low as possible. therefore, in current study, commercialized chicken eggshells and hybrid akar putra ...

A novel sol-gel hybrid methyltrimethoxysilane-tetraethoxysilane (MTMOS-TEOS) was produced and applied as sorbent for solid phase extraction (SPE). Five selected organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) were employed as model compounds to evaluate the extraction performance of the synthesized sol-gel organic-inorganic hybrid MTMOS-TEOS. Analysis was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry...

background bedsore is one of the major problems in all the societies as patients are confined to bed. due to antibiotic resistant strains being a significant obstacle for cure, many plants and herbs are being used by researchers as medicinal compounds. objectives the investigation of synergistic effect of cellulose biopolymer and papaver macrostomum extract on bedsores bacterial community. mate...

Design/methodology/approach – A multi-nozzle biopolymer deposition system is developed, which is capable of extruding biopolymer solutions and living cells for freeform construction of 3D tissue scaffo...

We create tailored microstructures, consisting of complexes of lipid membranes with self-assembled biopolymer shells, to study the fundamental properties and interactions of these basic components of living cells. We measure the mechanical response of these artificial structures at the micrometer scale, using optical tweezers and single-particle tracking. These systems exhibit rich dynamics tha...
