An investigation into the Development of Ceramic Sorbents for High Temperature Air Separation for OxyFiring
DownloadSpring 2014
Oxyfuel combustion as one of the alternatives to post-combustion carbon capture technologies requires an economically viable oxygen supply system. Cryogenic air separation, the main currently available technology, consumes above 30% of the energy produced as it involves separation of nitrogen...

Water Absorption and Performance Degradation of Natural Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
DownloadFall 2017
Natural fiber reinforced polyethylene biocomposites are an environmentally friendly alternative to non-biodegradable thermoplastic materials. The addition of natural fibers to polyethylene improves mechanical properties such as tensile modulus and tensile strength. Unlike thermoplastics,...
