Zhang, M. (author), Raghunath, Aparna (author), Zhao, A. (author), Eral, H.B. (author)On-dose authentication (ODA) enhances security by incorporating customized molecular or micro-tags into each pill, preventing counterfeit products in genuine packages. ODA's security relies on tag non-replication and non-reverse engineering. Combining ODA with graphical Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) promises maximum security. PUF uses...journal article 2024

Zhou, Hanxiao (author)Large amounts of oily wastewater which included oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, also known as produced water (PW), were produced in tandem with the enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Ultrafiltration (UF) was an effective and economic method to separate micron-sized O/W emulsions, while the membrane fouling limited its development. Understanding the...master thesis 2023

LIU, HAO (author)Ultrafiltration (UF) is an efficient and effective method of filtrating oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. However, the favorable conditions of filtrating nano-sized O/W emulsions have not been investigated. This study investigated the influence of four different parameters including membrane pore size, cross flow velocity, pH and salinity on...master thesis 2022

Chen, M. (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author), Luiten-Olieman, Mieke W.J. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)Ceramic membranes have drawn increasing attention in oily wastewater treatment as an alternative to their traditional polymeric counterparts, yet persistent membrane fouling is still one of the largest challenges. Particularly, little is known about ceramic membrane fouling by oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in constant flux filtration modes. In...journal article 2022

Yang, Fuqiang (author), Guo, Yong (author), Lai, Yong (author), Hong, Yidu (author), Yuan, S. (author)This study aims to characterize the whole reaction process of (i) emulsion explosive matrix and sulfide ores, and (ii) ammonium nitrate and pyrite by the thermodynamics analysis method. A series of experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure from 25 °C to 350 °C at four heating rates (3, 5, 10, and 15 K/min) and the Coats–Redfern method...journal article 2022

Qin, Guangze (author)Colloidal fouling has attracted increasing interest in the membrane field. Oil and water (O/W) emulsion droplet and Extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) are significant colloids in produced water and surface water, respectively. Oily wastewater is produced in many industrial processes such as oil and gas extraction processes, and can take a...master thesis 2021

Bouwman, W.G. (author)Spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) yields structural information on length scales from 30 nanometres up till 20 micrometres. These length scales match nicely those of colloids, protein networks and fat droplets, which are present in many food materials. This makes SESANS an excellent probe to study food materials. An interesting...journal article 2021

(author), Koenderink, G.H. (author), Ganzinger, Kristina A. (author)Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are often used to mimic biological membranes in reconstitution experiments. They are also widely used in research on synthetic cells, as they provide a mechanically responsive reaction compartment that allows for controlled exchange of reactants with the environment. However, while many methods exist to...journal article 2021

Vendel, K.J.A. (author)Every living organism consists of cells. Even for the simplest single-cell organism, this cell is extremely complex. Thousands of components (such asDNA, cytoskeletal filaments, proteins, lipids, nutrients and energy) are organized both spatially and temporally to ensure proper functioning of vital cellular processes. One of those processes is...doctoral thesis 2020

Sousa Pires da Costa Basto, R.M. (author), Jiménez, M. (author), Mudde, R.F. (author), van der Wielen, L.A.M. (author), Cuellar Soares, M.C. (author)Emulsion formation is a major concern when dealing with multiphasic fermentations. Flocculants can be used together with other demulsification techniques to improve oil recovery in multiphasic fermentations. In this paper, the impact of adding flocculants during a multiphasic fermentation with 10 wt% dodecane, to destabilize the broth...journal article 2020

Chen, M. (author), Shang, Ran (author), Sberna, P.M. (author), Luiten-Olieman, Mieke W.J. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author)Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes are of particular significance for wastewater treatment due to their mechanical strength, chemical stability, and antifouling ability. Currently, the membranes are prepared by SiC-particle sintering at a high temperature. The production suffers from long production time and high costs. In this paper, we...journal article 2020

Mukherjee, S. (author)The mixing of two immiscible fluids, often under turbulent conditions, can lead to the formation of an emulsion, where droplets of one fluid are embedded in another fluid. The occurrence of emulsions is commonplace across industries, ranging from the oil industry to food processing and biotechnology. Why emulsions serve diverse applications, in...doctoral thesis 2019

Baumgarten, K. (author)Network materials, foams, and emulsions are ubiquitous in our daily life. We have a good intuition about how they respond as we handle them, but our theoretical understanding is poor. One of their most interesting features is that they are unusually fragile and appear to switch between solid and liquid state seamlessly. <br/>In fact, foams and...doctoral thesis 2019

(author)Sesquiterpenes are a group of versatile, 15-carbon molecules with applications ranging from fuels to fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. When produced by microbial fermentation at laboratory scale, solvents are often employed for reducing product evaporation and enhancing recovery. However, it is not clear whether this approach constitutes a...journal article 2019

(author)We detail the analysis of centrifugal homogenization process by a hydrodynamic model and the model-guided design of a low-cost centrifugal homogenizer. During operation, centrifugal force pushes a multiphase solution to be homogenized through a thin nozzle, consequently homogenizing its contents. We demonstrate and assess the homogenization...journal article 2019

(author)Dispersed and solubilized oil can impact bulk foam stability differently. Though aromatic components are more soluble in water than straight-chain aliphatic components, solubilized aromatics do not necessarily impact the stability of foam in bulk or porous media, whereas straight-chain aliphatic components can have a detrimental impact (Bergeron...journal article 2019

(author)Multiphasic fermentations where an organic phase is spontaneously formed or when it is added for product removal are commonly used for production of valuable compounds. The turbulent conditions and the presence of surface-active compounds (SACs) during fermentation create a stable emulsion difficult to separate. A gas bubble/oil droplet...journal article 2019

Schmidt, Julia (author)Synthetic polymers, in the emulsified form, have been utilized for enhanced oil recovery applications by using saline make-up water. However, there are concerns that have been raised about their injectivity. The large entangled polymer chains can clog the pore throats, giving a tendency to cause injectivity reduction. In this study, processing...master thesis 2018
