Global kinetic model for a Pt-Pd diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is proposed and validated. Experimental data was obtained using different concentrations of the artificial gas mixtures which were passed over a bimetallic catalyst. Previous works of Voltz [1], Pandya [2], Sola [3] and many others...

There has been increasing research interest to develop next generation energy storage devices to replace or at least compliment lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), because of their potential safety issues and resource deficiencies. Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are becoming one of the...

The on-going development of micro- and nano-fabrication methods is facilitating interest and investigation into neural probes and implants for use as neurosurgical diagnostic tools and brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Key to the development of all neural probes, from invasive to non-invasive, is...

The surface mining of oil sand ore requires the use of huge shovels and 400-tonne capacity trucks to transfer the mined ore to the slurry preparation plant, where water and additives are added to the crushed ore. The oil sand slurry is then transported to the extraction section and simultaneously...

During thermal cracking of bitumen, olefins are formed via free radical reactions and are mainly concentrated in the naphtha and distillate cut of the upgraded bitumen. Olefins are undesirable in the upgraded bitumen product because they are associated with equipment fouling. As a result, these...
