In industrial applications and laboratory studies, it has been shown that the use of water spray may significantly reduce the amount of fume generated from the oxidation process of liquid high carbon ferromanganese alloy. ...

The consumption of fish oil as a nutraceutical has increased extensively in the recent years, due to their high content of health beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are highly unsaturated ...

The aim of this work was to study the effect of flow rate on the fuming rate/silica flux of liquid silicon in order to gain a better understanding of the silica fuming during industrial ladle refining during silicon ...

An oxidation study was performed on 99.99% Al, Al1%Mn and Al5%Mn materials, both ina thermogravimetric furnace, and in a muffle furnace. The mass gain behaviour for thesematerials was studied and compared for dierent ...

Marine phospholipids contain a high amount of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which have documented beneficial effect on human health. Due to this, marine phospholipids have a high potential for use in products ...

In this master thesis the goal was to create two COMSOL Multiphysics simulation models, one representing the laboratory scaled reactor and the other representing the industrial scale reactor, to study gas phase reactions ...

Silicon is used in the production of various ceramic products. As the solar industry is advancing, the need for reusable crucibles for the casting of solar grade silicon has arisen. One idea is to produce silicon nitride ...

Lifetime and reliability in realistic operating conditions are important parameters for the application of thin-film piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (piezoMEMS) based on lead zirconate titanate (PZT). Humidity ...

Oxidative degradation experiments on 2-ethanolamine (MEA) were performed at four different oxygen concentrations and at two temperatures. MEA loss and degradation product build-up were measured. Increasing the temperature ...
