Conference Presentations - 2012 AIChE Annual Meeting

Li-air batteries have much higher gravimetric energy storage density compared to all other battery chemistries, and this has led to a strong interest in seeing if such batteries could be developed for powering EVs, enabling driving ranges comparable to gasoline powered automobiles. However, many...

Design of Experiments (DOE) is the most effective method to achieve product and pro­cess efficiency and optimization. Design of Experiment (DOE) studies can help develop process development knowledge by revealing relationships, including multifactorial interactions, between the variable inputs (e.g...

Writing and printing papers are usually loaded with white pigment particles to improve many paper properties such as light scattering, smoothness, pore-size distribution, and ink-paper interactions. In the conventional method of loading, the filler particles are added directly into the papermaking...

Methane catalytic decomposition reaction (MCD) has received much attention in recent years as a potential route for the direct production of COx (CO/CO 2 )-free hydrogen because of its environmentally benign, energy efficient and process simple characteristics, which produces an especially suitable...
