Fall 2017
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are driving climate change. The largest sources of emitted carbon dioxide are coal and fossil fuel power plants. One proposed solution to mitigate emissions is to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants and store it underground. This is the...

Chemical modification, characterization, and application of chicken feathers as novel biosorbents
Download2013
Ullah, Aman, Khosa, Muhammad A., Wu, Jianping
The current work exclusively pertains to preparing arsenic removing biosorbents using chicken feathers (CF) as a raw material. CF consist of keratinous proteins with many functional groups, and this paper contributes to the debate on how functional groups, especially –COOH, –NH2 and –S–S–,...

Coal Liquefaction Liquid Quality: Influence of Temperature and Heating Approach on Solvent Extraction of Coal
DownloadFall 2014
This project evaluated the impact of reaction temperature and of additional heating steps on the quality of the liquids obtained from solvent extraction of a lignite coal with tetralin. The points of focus were the coal liquid yield, physical properties, aromatic content and iron pyrite...

Shale/tight gas plays an increasingly important role to meet the growing global energy demand and reduce carbon emissions. Unlike conventional reservoirs, shale formations are subject to rock heterogeneity and have pore size distributions ranging from sub-1 nm to a few micrometers. Thanks to the...
