Liquefaction behaviors of xylan were studied as treated by six different hydrothermal methods. As a comparative study, a xylan sample isolated from corn core was subjected to hot-compressed water, hot-compressed 0.01 and 0.1wt% HO2 solutions under pressurization of N or CO2 at 110-250 °C for 0...

A biofuel cell (BFC) cathode has been developed based on direct electron transfer (DET) of hemoglobin (Hb) molecules with an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode and their electrocatalysis for reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). In this study, the ITO-coated glass plates or porous glasses were...

The assessment of disinfectants and cleaning agents commonly used bybarbers during barbering operations has always been crucial with reference topublic health importance. This study focused on the evaluation of theantiseptic properties of commonly used disinfectants in public barbing salonwith...

The performance of direct borohydride–hydrogen peroxide fuel cells with electrocatalysts supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes is evaluated under various conditions. Electrocatalysts are reduced on multiwalled carbon nanotubes by NaH2PO2 and electrodes are investigated using scanning...

This work is concerned with the question of why oxidative desulfurization (ODS) catalyst that show good catalytic performance for ODS of model gasoline thiophenic compounds is not effective for real gasoline. For the first time, the effects of gasoline composition on ODS using a phosphotungstic...

The effects of hydrogen peroxide addition on the reaction pathway of premixed methane/air flames are numerically investigated using the PREMIX code with the GRI-Mech 3.0 chemical kinetic mechanisms and detailed transport properties. Hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidizer substituent of air....

The use of sterilising agents in lieu of energy intensive steam sterilisation was investigated for cellulose ethanol fermentations. Sodium metabisulphite and hydrogen peroxide were added to a number of simultaneous saccharification and fermentations of wheat straw to ethanol and their effects on...

Prior investigations have proposed, and successfully implemented, a stand-alone supply of aqueous hydrogen peroxide for use in fuel cells. An apparent obstacle for considering the use of aqueous hydrogen peroxide as an energy storage compound is the corrosive nature of the nominally required...

A meso-scale heat recirculating combustor has been developed for the combustion of methanol and kerosene fuels with oxygen enriched superheated steam as an oxidizer. The steam oxygen mixture is a surrogate for the decomposition products of hydrogen peroxide, and as such the combustor development...

Atmospheric emissions, transport, transformation and deposition of trace gases may be simulated through chambers. The dynamic flow-through chamber system has been developed in response to a need to measure emissions of nitrogen, sulphur and carbon compounds for a variety of field applications....
