Woody biomass waste derivatives in decarbonised blast furnace ironmaking process (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, R. Q., Jiang, L., Wang, Y. D., Font-Palma, C., Skoulou, V., & Roskilly, A. P. (2024). Woody biomass waste derivatives in decarbonised blast furnace ironmaking process. Renewable & sustainable energy reviews, 199, Article 114465. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2024.114465

Modern ironmaking process relies significantly on fossil-related fuels, which ultimately results in the enormous CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. Biomass of plant origin, as a carbon-neutral energy source, has been considered as an alternative to fos...

In Silico and invitro modelling of chronic wounds to improve our understanding of wound biomechanics and to test novel medical devices (2024)
Thesis
Hendon, A. C. In Silico and invitro modelling of chronic wounds to improve our understanding of wound biomechanics and to test novel medical devices. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4703110

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a widely used system that aids the healing of chronic wounds through the application of sub-atmospheric pressure. The effectiveness of this method is widely recognised, however the mechanisms behind this are...

Synthesis of graphene-encapsulated Fe3C/Fe catalyst supported on Sporopollenin exine capsules, and its use for the reverse water gas shift reaction (2023)
Journal Article
Malik, W., Tafoya, J. . P. V., Doszczeczko, S., Jorge Sobrido, A. B., Skoulou, V., Boa, A. N., Zhang, Q., Ramirez Reina, T., & Volpe, R. (in press). Synthesis of graphene-encapsulated Fe3C/Fe catalyst supported on Sporopollenin exine capsules, and its use for the reverse water gas shift reaction. ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering,

Bioderived materials have emerged as sustainable catalyst supports for several heterogeneous reactions owing to their naturally occurring hierarchal pore size distribution, high surface area, and thermal and chemical stability. We utilize sporopollen... Read More about Synthesis of graphene-encapsulated Fe3C/Fe catalyst supported on Sporopollenin exine capsules, and its use for the reverse water gas shift reaction.
