Influence of catalyst ink mixing procedures on catalyst layer properties and in-situ PEMFC performance by Jacobs, Clayton Jeffrey

“…Overall, fuel cell performance is not significantly affected by the mixing step however; mixing does have an observable impact on catalyst layer formulation. Generally, when optimizing membrane electrode assembly fabrication, mixing parameters should be carefully chosen. …”

Towards value from waste: Bioreactor selection for the reduction of nutrient load and production of Poly-y-glutamic acid by Raper, Tayana

“…Based on the maximum specific growth rates, a range of critical dilution rates were calculated to guide the process design and operating parameters in the continuous cultivation studies. Duplicate fed-batch experiments were conducted with the feed-rate set to the maximum glucose utilisation rate calculated from the batch experiments to achieve a final glucose loading of 2.86 g/L/h. …”

The development of a mathematical model for the bioextraction of the critical raw material magnesium from mine waste using acidithiobacillus caldus by Raeburn, Yael

“…Using the previously de-termined mineral reactor conditions (0.5% solids loading, τ1 = 14.6 days, pHi = 1), complete extraction of magnesium was achieved at a stock reactor mean residence time (τs) ≥ 10.4 days, establishing an optimal threshold at Vs : 1.4V1. This set-up achieved the same performance as the CSTR with acid in the feed while eliminating the need for synthetic acid. pH control was achieved using a PI controller for the rate of acid addition, for which ITAE tuning parameters were optimised for both disturbance (Kc = 40.7 mol−1.L, τI = 12 h) and set-point changes (Kc = 20 mol−1.L, τI = 326 h). …”
