Beeker, Ide (author)Interest in transition metal surfaces has grown in fields such as catalysts and semiconductors. Models of initial adsorption and growth of adsorbates are used to verify if certain structures are formed. Structural complexity and diversity of overlayers often determines this growth. Understanding the difference between a clean single crystal...master thesis 2021

Moreno Gonzalez, M. (author)This thesis presents novel ways of recovering of valuable compounds from food industry side streams. It does so via evaluating two case studies for the valorization of such streams. These types of streams are often referred to as waste and discarded. However, they are rich sources of nutraceuticals (e.g polyphenols), proteins and dietary fiber....doctoral thesis 2021

Roza, Rintati (author)This thesis aims to find out whether electrokinetic transport of a calcium chloride solution can be controlled by adding sodium ions by performing molecular dynamics simulations. The idea that electrokinetic transport control is a possibility originates from research that found that charge inversion is reduced when monovalent ions are added to a...master thesis 2021

Snoeks, Casper (author)Electroreduction of CO2 into high-valued chemicals is a promising way to reduce CO2 emissions while simultaneously producing bulk chemicals currently produced from fossil-fuel feedstocks. The downside of this process is that conversion rates are low, meaning the resulting product stream is a complex gas mixture consisting primarily of reactants...master thesis 2021

Zheng, X. (author), Jiang, N. (author), Zheng, Huaili (author), Wu, Yuyang (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author)One framework type of high-silica zeolite only can effectively remove a limited range of organic micropollutants (OMPs) from water. In order to extend the OMP removal range, different types of high-silica zeolites need to be combined in the adsorption process. In this study, Mordernite (MOR) and ZSM-5 (MFI) high-silica zeolite powders were mixed...journal article 2021
