Borra, C.R. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Offerman, S.E. (author)Ceria is the main component in glass polishing powders due to its special physico-chemical properties. Glass polishing powder loses its polishing ability gradually during usage due to the accumulation of other compounds on the polishing powder or due to changes in the particle size distribution. The recovery of cerium from the glass polishing...journal article 2018

(author), Schuur, Boelo (author)(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) obtained from waste/wastewater using a mixed microbial culture (MMC) usually varies in its properties due to daily variation in the waste/wastewater composition applied as feedstock. In the current study, the average molecular weight (MW) of PHBV was purposely reduced from about 1 MDa to about...journal article 2022

Vermeer, C.M. (author), Nielsen, Maaike (author), Eckhardt, Vincent (author), Hortensius, Matthijs (author), Tamis, J. (author), Picken, S.J. (author), Meesters, G.M.H. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author)The biotechnological production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) derived from organic waste streams by mixed microbial communities is well established at the pilot-level. However, there is limited research on the recovery of the biopolymer from the microbial biomass, while its impact on product quality and product costs...journal article 2022

Vermeer, C.M. (author)Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a family of biopolymers produced intracellular<br/>by a range of different bacteria.PHA have attracted widespread attention as<br/>an environmental friendly replacement of fossil-based polymers, because they<br/>have thermoplastic and/or elastomeric properties, and are also biobased and<br/>biodegradable.Moreover,...doctoral thesis 2022
