Journal Article
Elaigwu, S. E., & Greenway, G. M. (2016). Microwave-assisted and conventional hydrothermal carbonization of lignocellulosic waste material: comparison of the chemical and structural properties of the hydrochars. Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis, 118, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaap.2015.12.013

This study compares the chemical and structural properties of the hydrochars prepared from microwave-assisted and conventional hydrothermal carbonizations of Prosopis africana shell, a waste plant material. The preparation involved heating the raw ma...

Steel slag leachates : environmental risks and metal recovery opportunities (2015)
Thesis
Oty, U. V. (2015). Steel slag leachates : environmental risks and metal recovery opportunities. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218366

Steel slag wastes are large volume residues generated in increasing quantities globally during steel production. While there are many afteruses for slag, roughly a quarter produced globally is stockpiled or landfilled where it may pose environmental...

Nanomaterials are either inorganic or organic nanosized particles which have many industrial and biological applications such as in cosmetics, environmental remediation, electronics, biosensing and imaging and in drug delivery. Some have toxic effect... Read More about Nanoparticle mediated toxicity and antimicrobial action.

Development towards a point-of-care system to monitor pregnancy and fertility biomarkers (2015)
Thesis
Wright, K. J. (2015). Development towards a point-of-care system to monitor pregnancy and fertility biomarkers. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217893

The aim of this thesis was to develop a point of care (POC) device that could monitor progesterone and oestriol in saliva. These hormones have a key role to play in both female fertility and pregnancy. Understanding the concentration of progesterone...
