The continuous supercritical water gasification of spirulina and the use of a positive displacement feeding system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A factorial experiment was designed and conducted to explore the effect of three variables, concentration, temperature, and residence time, on two ...
Investigation of supercritical fluids for use in biomass processing & carbon recycling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
An apparatus was built in the Mizzou Carbon Recycling Center to explore the continuous thermochemical conversion of biomass and model compounds in supercritical water. The apparatus was used to investigate gasification or ...
The design & construction of a proton microprobe using a GE PETtrace cyclotron
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The interaction of fast neutrons with nuclear materials is a topic of fundamental interest in nuclear engineering. Fast neutrons possess the ability to degrade, and in some cases destroy, materials used in nuclear reactor ...
Bismuth induced embrittlement of a copper substrate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Embrittlement of polycrystalline Cu by a liquid metal embitter species, such as Bi, is a well-documented phenomenon that is still relatively poorly ...
Novel materials for capturing carbon dioxide at different temperatures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The primary goal of this research was to decrease the quantities of CO2 emission gases in the emission sources by absorption process using synthesized ...
Aging studies and sensing applications of protein-templated gold nanoclusters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Protein-templated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were synthesized using lysozyme VI (Lys VI), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and BSA nanoparticles (BSA NPs) ...
Effects of polysulfone support layer on the performance of thin film composite (TFC) membranes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The performance of thin film composite (TFC) membranes was correlated with the support layers. Polysulfone (PSF) Support layers with additive ...
Combined dilatometry and mass spectrometry of sintering and evolved gases of barium titanate and zirconium diboride with sintering additives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
A combined dilatometer mass spectrometer system (CDMS) is used to monitor the gas phase species and sintering progress in real time during the heating of barium titanate and ultra high temperature ceramics (UHTCs), including ...
