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 ...
DEM-based modelling framework for spray-dried powders in ceramic tiles industry. Part I: Calibration procedure
(Elsevier, 2019)
This work describes a combined experimental-numerical study to characterizefine spray-dried powder used inthe ceramic tile pressing process. A DEM-based granular assembly is endowed with a new set of scaling laws thatallows ...
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 ...
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. ...
Characterization of thermal barriers coatings of Y-TZP/AL2O3/SiC composite obtained by suspension plasma spraying
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2017-07-09)
The aim of this work is to improve TBCs providing a self-healing ability. For that purpose, an aqueous suspension of SiCY-TZP and Al2O3 was prepared and deposited by suspension plasma spraying to avoid the oxidation of ...
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 ...
Microfluidic rheology: A new approach to measure viscosity of ceramic suspensions at extremely high shear rates
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2020-12-19)
This paper describes the operation principles of a micro-scale rheometry equipment based on the technology of microchannels on a chip and compares it with a conventional macro-scale rotational rheometer. Both techniques ...
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 ...
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. ...
Norfloxacin mineralization under light exposure using Sb-SnO2 ceramic anodes coated with BiFeO3 photocatalyst
(Elsevier, 2022-12-07)
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 ...
