Deep desulfurization of diesel fuel using a single phase photochemical microreactor

Creator:

Jones, Jacob Aaron

Abstract:

There is an urgent need to lower the concentration of sulfur in diesel fuels. Growing concern over environmental effects caused by burning sulfur-containing diesel has led the world to higher standards in fuel refinement. Because of these lower standards, many techniques have been researched to remove sulfur containing compounds or...

Synthesis and evaluation of PEO-coated materials for microchannel-based hemodialysis

Creator:

Heintz, Keely

Abstract:

The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...

Masters Thesis
Nonthermal Plasma Microreaction Engineering for Gas and Liquid Processing

Creator:

Pommerenck, Justin

Abstract:

Atmospheric pressure plasma is non-thermal at millimeter to micrometer separations. It represents an alternative low exergy initiator of many chemical reactions. In many instances heat, light or sound are not efficient providers of the necessary energy to overcome chemical activation barriers. The focus of this research is applying dc nonthermal...
