(author)In the present work, the potential of polyPOSS-imide membranes designed for the purification of H2 from a coke gas (utilized in the steelmaking industry) is investigated. Aiming at upscaling the membrane fabrication, tubular single-channel and multi-channel membranes were prepared, using polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanostructures...article 2021

(author), Peters, T.A. (author)In the present work, the high-temperature and long-term hydrothermal stability of novel polyPOSS-imide membranes for high-temperature hydrogen separation is investigated. The polyPOSS-imide membranes are found to exhibit an appropriate stability up to 300 °C. Above this temperature the membrane selectivity rapidly decreases, which is seemingly...article 2021

Hunicz, J. (author), Mikulski, M. (author), Rybak, A. (author)Controlled auto-ignition (CAI) is an advanced combustion technology offering high thermal efficiency and low NOX emissions. One promising approach to achieve CAI combustion is application of negative valve overlap resulting in internal exhaust gas re-circulation. However, combustion control is still an issue which should be resolved before wide...conference paper 2018

Hunicz, J. (author), Mikulski, M. (author)One of the pending issues regarding Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines is high load operation limit constrained by excessive pressure rise rates (PRRs). The present study investigates various measures to reduce combustion harness in a residual-affected HCCI engine. At the same time, the impact of those measures on efficiency...conference paper 2018

Acha, E. (author), van Delft, Y.C. (author), Cambra, J.F. (author), Arias, P.L. (author)A 0.9 mm PdCu (69 wt% Pd) membrane prepared by an electroless plating method on a ceramic tubular support was tested in hydrogen sulfide containing streams. H2S/H2 mixtures with 40 and 100 ppmv of H2S were tested in order to observe the reversibility of sulfur addition. The membrane permselectivity operating in H2S/complex mixtures with around...article 2018

A post-translationally cleaved Ara h 6 (pAra h 6) was purified from Virginia type peanuts, and the cleavage site was mapped using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Compared to intact Ara h 6, pAra h 6 lacks a 5-amino acid stretch, resembling amino acids 43-47 (UniProt...article 2018
