Challenges and enablers in fluidization technology

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Gas–solid fluidized beds provide excellent heat and mass transfer for high‐throughput operations from coating to catalytic conversion and underpin emerging low‐carbon technologies. Yet industrial reliability, scale‐up, and control lag scientific understanding, particularly as finer, stickier, and more variable feedstocks increasingly challenge

Radioactive contamination of several materials following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident

open access: yes, 2017
Following the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS), which is owned by Tokyo Electric Power Co., radioactive nuclides were released into the environment and heavily contaminated the NPS site.

Halide perovskites in wide‐spectrum photodetection

open access: yesBulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Recent advances in perovskite‐based photodetectors (PPDs), phototransistors, and photoconductors are technically discussed in this review. Moreover, the mechanism behind different harvesting processes in perovskite following the energy of photons is explained, where the gamma or x‐rays are ionizing.

Radioactive contamination of the soils of Georgia

open access: yes, 2017
After 29–30 years from Chernobyl atomic plant accident the main soil types of Georgia have been examined on contamination presence of 137Cs and 90Sr. Level of radioactive contamination of soils (137Cs deposition) we can separate three levels: I - 0–10 ...
