Design of active NiCo2O4‐δ spinel catalyst for abatement of CO‐CH4 emissions from CNG fueled vehicles
10.1002/aic.16162 2018-04-06 Increasing number of CNG vehicles on road emits considerable amount of CO, a poisonous gas and CH4, a greenhouse‐gas. Highly active and oxygen‐deficient NiCo2O4‐δ spinel and its individual metal‐oxides were synthesized by calcination of precipitated/co‐precip... |

Investigation mechanism of DEA as an activator on aqueous MEA solution for postcombustion CO2 capture
10.1002/aic.16165 2018-03-30 In this work, Diethanolamine (DEA) was considered as an activator to enhance the CO2 capture performance of Monoethanolamine (MEA). The addition of DEA into MEA system was expected to improve disadvantages of MEA on regeneration heat, degradation, and corrosi... |

Novel aeration of a large‐scale flat sheet MBR: A CFD and experimental investigation
10.1002/aic.16164 2018-03-30 Having previously established that the hydrodynamic effect introduced by slug bubbles is more effective and economic in fouling amelioration in flat sheet MBRs (FSMBR) than conventional bubbling, this work is focused on its implementation in a commercial FSMB... |

Scale‐dependent nonequilibrium features in a bubbling fluidized bed
10.1002/aic.16163 2018-03-30 We investigate experimentally the nonequilibrium features in a pseudo 2‐D bubbling fluidized bed. Velocities of individual particles are measured by using a particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) method, and void fractions are obtained with the Voronoi tessellat... |
