Staelens, Michael (author)Cryogenic and semi-cryogenic propellants are the most commonly used liquid propellants for applications in medium-lift launch vehicles. Despite their high performance, the storage requirements for these propellants often lead to complex, heavy, and voluminous structures. The only storable propellant used in medium-lift launch vehicles, UDMH/NTO,...master thesis 2024

Piergentili, I. (author), Cai, Mao (author), Klemm, B. (author), Xu, B. (author), Luo, Sanzhong (author), Eelkema, R. (author)The redox balance in tumor and diseased cells often leads to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Many ROS-responsive materials based on sulfur oxidation have been reported with the goal of achieving controlled delivery at the tumor. However, these materials often lack responsiveness to low ROS concentrations present in the tumor...journal article 2023

Xu, X. (author)H2O2 is a relatively 'green' oxidant because its by-products are only H2O. In recent years, an increasing number of enzymatic synthesis methods based on H2O2 have been estab-lished. H2O2-driven reactions are usually applied as an alternative to NAD(P)H-dependent reactions to avoid complicated cofactor regeneration systems.<br/><br/>The aim of...doctoral thesis 2022

Gilleran, Eoghan (author)The current state of in-orbit refuelling involves launching propellant from the Earth’s surface in a single use refuelling craft, often to transfer hydrazine to the customer. This method is a logical first step however this architecture is not reusable, and it centres around a toxic and carcinogenic propellant. An architecture is proposed where...master thesis 2022

de Roos, Andreas (author)High concentration hydrogen peroxide (HP) promises to be an economical and green alternative for hydrazine. However, it has only limited storage life, and addition of stabilizers must be avoided to preserve the high purity required for propellants. This work has investigated the mechanical fastening of normally dissolved stabilizers on the...master thesis 2022

Roy, M. (author), van Genuchten, Case M. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), van Halem, D. (author)Groundwater contaminated with arsenic (As) must be treated prior to drinking, as human exposure to As at toxic levels can cause various diseases including cancer. Conventional aeration-filtration applied to anaerobic arsenite (As(III)) contaminated groundwater can remove As(III) by co-oxidizing native iron (Fe(II)) and As(III) with oxygen (O...journal article 2022

Wang, F. (author), Zhang, Lu (author), Wei, L. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)During drinking water treatment, advanced oxidation process (AOP) with O3 and H2O2 may result in by-products, residual H2O2 and BrO3−. The water containing H2O2 and BrO3− often flows into subsequent granular activated carbon (GAC) filters.
