Mazur, N. (author), Huinink, H. (author), Fischer, H. (author), Donkers, P. (author), Adan, O. (author)Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a promising thermochemical heat storage material (TCM). However, it suffers from hysteresis between (de)hydration temperatures and poor reaction kinetics close to equilibrium conditions. Both aspects are caused by a nucleation barrier and low ionic mobility close to equilibrium. This study investigates the impact...article 2022

Mazur, N. (author), Huinink, H. (author), Borm, B. (author), Sansota, S. (author), Fischer, H. (author), Adan, O. (author)This work studied the reversible dehydration of potassium carbonate sesquihydrate (K2CO3·1.5H2O). The study is based on isobaric and isothermal thermogravimetric measurements conducted at a broad range of vapour pressures and temperatures. By controlling both parameters, we examined the influence of both constraints on the reaction kinetics at a...article 2022

Boon, J. (author), van Kampen, J. (author), Hoogendoorn, R. (author), Tanase, S. (author), van Berkel, F.P.F. (author), van Sint Annaland, M. (author)Acidic γ-Al2O3 is an active catalyst for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME). However, the produced steam reduces the activity. In this work, the influence of the exposure of γ-Al2O3 to steam on the catalytic activity for methanol dehydration has been determined. At 250 °C and increasing stream partial pressure the conversion of...article 2019

Sodiq, A. (author), Hadri, N.E. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author), Abu-Zahra, M.R.M. (author)The present study has established the direct pseudo–first-order reaction kinetics of different aqueous-based single and blended amines over the temperature range of 298.15-313.15 K using stopped-flow techniques. The single amines include one primary amine (monoethanolamine, MEA), two secondary amines (diethanolamine, DEA and 2-ethyl(amino...article 2018

Mikulski, M. (author), Wierzbicki, S. (author)Increasing demands for the reduction of exhaust emissions and the pursuit to reduce the use of fossil fuels require the search for new fuelling technologies in combustion engines. One of the most promising technologies is the multi-fuel compression ignition engine concept, in which a small dose of liquid fuel injected directly into the cylinder...article 2017

(author)CO2 readily reacts in aqueous amine solutions. The properties of free CO2 in amine solutions are therefore difficult to obtain directly and are often predicted from the nonreacting molecule N2O due to the similarities in mass and structure. This often-used empirical "CO2/N2O analogy" is verified in this work using molecular simulation....article 2014

Koenen, M. (author), Wasch, L.J. (author)Many uncertainties exist in geochemical modeling. Mineral reactive surface area is one of the uncertain parameters. QEMSCAN analyses are performed on sandstone samples from a Dutch CO2 natural analogue to determine reactive surface areas. Geochemical modeling is performed using QEMSCAN surface areas and surface areas which are conventionally...conference paper 2013
