Abstract:

In this study a sample of particles in a size region of 0.05-10 μm were run through a centrifugation process with the ambition to make it monodisperse. The product requirements were stated as follows, particles within the size range of 2 to 3.8 μm should be isolated and separated from the sample with a D90/D10 < 1.4 where the D90/D50/D10 values should be approximately 3.8 μm/2.5 μm/2 μm. It was found that two layers of sucrose with a 50/50 volume distribution of 45w% sucrose solution and 60w% sucrose solution respectively, was the most efficient density gradient arrangement for separation o

Abstract:

Filtration is the most efficient method of aerosol monitoring and control. A number of theories (Bradley, 1932); (Hamaker, 1937); (Johnson et al., 1971); (Wang and Kasper, 1991); (Dahneke, 1995); (Wall et al., 1990) have been developed to describe the particle interaction with surface of a filter and to estimate the probability of the particle adhesion onto a surface. A range of the particle, filter and process parameters could contribute to the strength of the adhesion. Some of them are: hardness and cross-sectional shape of the fiber, smoothness of either the fiber or particle, air humidity,

Abstract:

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a technique that can be used to separate particle at microscale. It is of particular interest because it is a non-invasive, non-destructive and non-contact technique, which ensures that sample composition remains the same with only the particles being separated. On the microscale, DEP has been used to separate viable and non-viable cells, and cells with different dielectric properties, with the aid of a range of miniaturised, microfabricated devices. However, DEP at the nano-scale is a novel area and is still under research. Miniaturisation of devices in general has

The effect of large size ratios of solute to solvent on the critical properties and phase behaviour of binary mixtures of spherical particles is investigated using an "augmented van der Waals" equation of state. The equation used is essentially a van der Waals equation with an improved hard sphere repulsive term. Molecular dynamics and constant-pressure Monte Carlo simulations of binary mixtures of hard spheres with different diameter ratios and mole fractions are undertaken to check the adequacy of the hard sphere equation. Good agreement is found, even for systems with large differences in s

Microfluidics research and development has emerged as a novel and promising tool for the development of sensors and actuators. However, one area in which microfluidics has been only minimally employed is in the handling of airborne particles, or aerosols. The real-time monitoring of aerosols is important for protecting human health and earth’s environment. The small size of microchannels, coupled with the opportunity to integrate sensing technologies, suggests them as a promising tool for the next generation of aerosol sensors.

Abstract:

Zeolites are a well-known class of crystalline oxide materials with tunable compositions and nanoporous structures, and have been used extensively in catalysis, adsorption, and ion exchange. The zeolite MFI is one of the well-studied zeolites because it has a pore size and structure suitable for separation or chemical conversion of many industrially important molecules. Modification of zeolite structures with organic groups offers a potential new way to change their properties of zeolites, beyond the manipulation of the zeolite framework structure and composition.

The situation for REEs is worse; there is no domestic supply chain of REEs in the U.S. since the demise of Molycorp, Inc. in 2016.

Prior to injection, a carrier fluid of either KCl and KOH electrolyte or a silica nanoparticle dispersion was flowing through the column at steady state.

Abstract:

Mixed-matrix hollow fiber membranes are being developed to offer more efficient gas separations applications than what the current technologies allow. Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) are membranes in which molecular sieves incorporated in a polymer matrix do separation between gas mixtures based on the molecular size difference and/or adsorption properties of the component gases vis-à-vis the porous structure and the nature of adsorption sites in the molecular sieve. The development of MMMs to deliver on its promises has however been slow. The major challenges encountered in the efficient devel

Abstract:

The interest in nano particles from the view of basic and applied research has constantly risen in recent years. Since their physical properties are different from those of bulk materials, new industrial applications are emerging, e.g. in microelectronics. For quality control, particle production technologies call for on-line techniques that respond to the chemical nature of the particles. A particle generation process usually leads to particles with different surface properties. These surface properties, i.e. impurities ( like an oxygen layer ) or the crystal habit of single particles, determ

Abstract:

I advanced the understanding of particle morphology and its implications for the behavior and effects of atmospheric aerosol particles. I have developed new experimental methods for the Aerosol Optical Tweezers (AOT) system and expanded the AOT’s application into studying realistic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particle phases. The AOT is a highly accurate system developed to study individual particles in real-time for prolonged periods of time. While previous AOT studies have focused on binary or ternary chemical systems, I have investigated complex SOA, and how they interact with other che
