Experimental design applied to improving the effect of bismuth oxide as a sintering aid for tin oxide
(Elsevier, 2018)
Tin oxide has been extensively studied due to its wide variety of applications. However, its poor sinter ability requires the use of sintering aids for its processing. The sintering behaviour of three different SnO2-based ...
Post-deposition heat treatment effect on microstructure of suspension plasma sprayed bioactive glass coatings
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
This research addresses a simple and easy method to improve the microstructure of
suspension plasma sprayed bioactive glass coatings. Based on previous research of the group,
a SPS bioactive glass coating was deposited ...
Testing the performance of one and two box models as tools for risk assessment of particle exposure during packing of inorganic fertilizer
(Elsevier, 2019)
Modelling of particle exposure is a useful tool for preliminary exposure assessment in
workplaces. However, actual exposure measurements are needed to assess models
reliability. Worker exposure was monitored during packing ...
Workplace Exposure to Nanoparticles during Thermal Spraying of Ceramic Coatings
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-01)
Thermal spraying is widely used for industrial-scale application of ceramic coatings onto metallic surfaces. The particular process has implications for occupational health, as the high energy process generates high emissions ...
On the Relationship between Exposure to Particles and Dustiness during Handling of Powders in Industrial Settings
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-07)
Exposure to ceramic powders, which is frequent during handling operations, is known to cause adverse health effects. Finding proxy parameters to quantify exposure is useful for efficient and timely exposure assessments. ...
Influence of solids concentration on the microstructure of suspension plasma sprayed Y-TZP/Al2O3/SiC composite coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
The present research focuses on the effect of feedstock suspension solid concentration on the microstructure of suspension plasma sprayed Y-TZP/Al2O3/SiC composite coatings. For this purpose, concentrated aqueous suspensions ...
Electrochemical degradation of norfloxacin using BDD and new Sb-doped SnO2 ceramic anodes in an electrochemical reactor in the presence and absence of a cation-exchange membrane
(Elsevier, 2019)
Electrochemical oxidation of Norfloxacin (NOR) in sodium sulphate media has been
comparatively studied in an undivided and in a divided electrolytic cell both containing
either a boron doped diamond (BDD) or a novel ...
Microstructural and in vitro characterisation of 45S5 bioactive glass coatings deposited by Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying (SPPS)
(Elsevier, 2018-12-20)
The present work focused on the development of bioactive glass coatings employing Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying. Precursors of SiO2, CaO, Na2O and P2O5 were mixed in distilled water to prepare concentrated solutions ...
Health risk assessment from exposure to particles during packing in working environments
(Elsevier, 2019-06-25)
Packing of raw materials in work environments is a known source of potential health
impacts (respiratory, cardiovascular) due to exposure to airborne particles. This activity
was selected to test different exposure and ...
Non-isothermal sintering of powdered vitrified composites. A kinetic model
(Elsevier, 2019)
This report sets out the results obtained on studying the sintering process of glass–zircon composites,
analysing the microstructural changes that developed on modifying zircon content. The sintering of composites with ...
