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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
