Mesoporous and nanostructured metal oxides for adsorptive water treatment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Sewage containing a certain amount of dyes, when discharged into the environment, will cause serious problems and diseases to the human body and pose a threat to the ecosystem. In addition, waste from large animal farms, ...
Developing a novel method for making metal oxide nanocoatings for electrocatalysis applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
In this dissertation, a new and novel technique to synthesize conformal films of metal oxides on top of nanoscale substrates in different geometries such as carbon nanotubes, carbon black particles, and iron oxide nanoparticles ...
Polyurethenae foams and engineering education
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Thermal conductivity [subscript] of a rigid polyurethane (PU) foam was successfully simulated, during which the impact of index of isocyanate, mixing ...
Chemical modifications to produce soy-based polyols
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This project comprises several chemical routes to produce soy-based polyols for future use in polyurethane foam applications. Soybean oil was polymerized by heat and catalyst to increase molecular weight, and viscosity for ...
Compressibility of a mixture of CH4 [plus] CO2 and correlation of compressibility factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
The work presented in this thesis consists of two parts: experimental and correlation. In the experimental part, the pressure-vo1ume - temperature data .for pure methane, and for one composition of methane-carbon dioxide, ...
Peptide Amphiphile micelles (pams)-biomolecular materials capeble of modulating the immune system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Peptide based therapeutics have become increasingly popular due to their ease of design and production. The low molecular weight and limited physiological ...
Hollow fiber membrane fouling controls in ultrafiltration system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The world's water shortage problem becomes increasingly serious. However, most of the current water desalination/ purification technologies are energy ...
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 ...
Supercritical extraction of binder from multilayer ceramic capacitors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Supercritical extraction using carbon dioxide was carried out in a semi-continuous mode on the binder and its components of an acrylate-based system, the results of which were compared with a poly (vinyl butyral)-based ...
Catalytic conversion of glycerol and sugar alcohols to value-added products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The current research is based on developing an improved and fundamental understanding of technology that will allow the conversion of this crude glycerin to a propylene glycol based antifreeze product. Hydrogenolysis of ...
Catalytic conversion of glycerol to propylene glycol : synthesis and technology assessment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This research is focused on developing a method that is applicable to the industrial-scale production of propylene glycol from glycerol with considerably high conversions and yields. The fundamental understanding behind ...
Developing, implementing, and assessing coupled-tank experiments in an undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Five experimental modules that fit into the Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Curriculum were developed using the existing Coupled-Tank Apparatus. Students of different educational levels get an opportunity to develop ...
