Sizing of reactors by charts of Damköhler's number for solutions of dimensionless design equations

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
The reaction kinetic rate and mass transport play an important role in the sizing and scale-up of reactors. The Damköhler's dimensionless number (Da) is the quotient of these effects.

Photoinduced chlorophyll charge transfer state identified in the light-harvesting complex II from a marine green alga Bryopsis corticulans

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: The light-harvesting complex II of Bryopsis corticulans (B-LHCII), a green alga, differs from that of spinach (S-LHCII) in chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoid (Car) compositions. We investigated ultrafast excitation dynamics of B-LHCII with visible-

Hydrophobic-modified metal-hydroxide nanoflocculants enable one-step removal of multi-contaminants for drinking water production

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: Flocculation is a mainstream technology for the provision of safe drinking water but is limited due to the ineffectiveness of conventional flocculants in removing trace low-molecular-weight emerging contaminants.

Production of biodiesel by enzymatic transesterification of waste sardine oil and evaluation of its engine performance

open access: yesHeliyon, 2017
Waste sardine oil, a byproduct of fish industry, was employed as a low cost feedstock for biodiesel production. It has relatively high free fatty acid (FFA) content (32 mg KOH/g of oil).
