Nanoporous carbon from corn cobs and its application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Chemical activation of corn cobs using phosphoric acid or potassium hydroxide can lead to nanoporous carbon having surface area in excess of 3800 m²/g and pore volume of 2.5cc/g. Dried, crushed, corn cobs were carbonized ...
Production of propylene oxide from propylene glycol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The primary goal of this research was to find a renewable synthesis method for the production of propylene oxide. Significant quantities of glycerin are formed as a co-product when soybean oil is used to produce bio-diesel. ...
Permeability analysis for thermal binder removal from green ceramic bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The permeability of unlaminated and laminated green tapes was determined as a function of binder content for binder removed by air oxidation. The tapes are comprised of barium titanate as the dielectric, and polyvinyl ...
Biodegradable packaging for corrosion inhibition via supercriticial fluid
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The focus of this study is to develop a packaging material that is both biodegradable (BD) and provides corrosion protection for a packaged metal ...
Synthesis, characterization and applications of fats and oil derived phase change materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Phase Change Materials (PCM) are materials that absorb or release relatively large amounts of latent heat and are termed as "latent" thermal storage ...
