Conference Presentations - 2009 AIChE Annual Meeting

Traditionally, microalgae are cultivated in closed systems or open ponds, which are aerated or exposed to air to allow microalgae to capture CO2 from the atmosphere for cell growth. As the atmosphere contains only 0.03-0.06% CO2, it is expected that mass transfer limitation could slow down the cell...

Spinel ferrites of the form MxFe3-xO4, where M generally represents Ni, Zn, Co, Mn, Fe or other transition metals, have been shown to be capable of splitting water to produce H2 using solar energy according to the two step cycle shown below: MxFe3-xO4 xMO + (3-x)FeO + 0.5 O2 (1) xMO + (3-x)FeO +...

This presentation will describe a QbD approach to the selection of materials used to package drug products or to construct medical devices that deliver drug products. Special attention is required for materials that contact drug products due to extractables and leachables (E&L) considerations...

Scale-up of liquid mixing is usually done empirically without considering the several factors like dissolution theory, equipment differences between scales and so on. In this work we present a systematic way to scale-up liquid mixing processes utilizing both Design of Experiment (DoE) approach to...
