Modeling of High Nanoparticle Exposure in an Indoor Industrial Scenario with a One-Box Model
(MDPI, 2019-05)
Mass balance models have proved to be effective tools for exposure prediction in occupational settings. However, they are still not extensively tested in real-world scenarios, or for particle number concentrations. An ...
Adhesion assessment of bioactive coatings deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2017-07-09)
The aim of the present work is to prepare bioactive coatings by APS employing different spraying parameters and substrates in order to model the adhesion of the coatings and to determine the best parameters that allow to ...
Effect of pore generator on microstructure and resistivity of Sb(2)O(3)and CuO doped SnO(2)electrodes
(Springer, 2020-08-08)
Sb2O3 and CuO doped SnO2 ceramic electrodes could be an alternative to the ones currently used ones in the electrooxidation process of water pollutants. The rise of electrode surface by introducing a porogen agent on the ...
Study of lithium carbonate as sintering aid for tin oxide densification trough experimental designs: Main variables and microstructure changes
(Elsevier, 2022)
Tin oxide is one of the most extensively studied semiconductor materials due to its broad
field of applications. On the one hand, its high conductivity and its corrosion resistance are
the most remarkable properties. ...
Nanoparticle formation and emission during laser ablation of ceramic tiles
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Pulsed laser ablation (PLA) is a widely used technology, for surface structuring and tile decoration in the ceramic industry. During PLA, nanoparticles (NP <100 nm) are unintentionally released and may impact exposure. ...
Effect of secondary thermal treatment on crystallinity of spinel-type Co(Cr, Al)2O4 pigments synthesized by solution combustion route
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
The effect of a post-synthesis thermal treatment on CoCr2−2ΨAl2ΨO4 (0.0 ≤ Ψ ≤ 1.0) ceramic pigments synthesized by Solution Combustion Synthesis (SCS) has been studied. As-synthesized SCS pigments were treated at two ...
How can the European ceramic tile industry meet the EU's low-carbon targets? A life cycle perspective
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Ceramic tile manufacturing is deemed to be an energy intensive industry, mainly based on combustion processes and, therefore, subject to European policies aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The “Roadmap for moving ...
Norfloxacin mineralization under light exposure using Sb-SnO2 ceramic anodes coated with BiFeO3 photocatalyst

Advanced Oxidation Processes have been proven to be an efficient way to remove organic pollutants from wastewaters. In this work, a ceramic electrode of Sb–SnO2 (BCE) with a layer of the photocatalytic material BiFeO3 ...
Effect of type and amount of alumina as dopant over the densification and the electrical properties of zinc oxide ceramic electrodes
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) electrodes can be a good alternative to replace the expensive electrodes (Ti, ITO, FTO, etc.), which are used in the electrooxidation process to remove refractory and emergent contaminants ...
Complete Characterization of Thermoelectric Materials by Impedance Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2019-05-01)
Thermoelectric materials can directly convert waste heat into electricity. Because of the vast amount of energy available as waste heat in our society, these materials could contribute to reduce our dependence on fossil ...
