Development of an innovative and environmentally sustainable solid waste stream treatment process. (2010)
Thesis
RAMACHANDRAN, V. 2010. Development of an innovative and environmentally sustainable solid waste stream treatment process. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

Oily sludges and oil contaminated solid wastes are generated from various sources such as from a) interceptors in petrol stations, automobile garages and rail service stations b) tank oil bottoms from crude oil storage tanks c) drill cuttings from oi...

Specific and non-specific interactions on carbon material surfaces. (2010)
Thesis
ANDREU, A.Y. 2010. Specific and non-specific interactions on carbon material surfaces. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The interactions which occur between both polar and non-polar fluid phases and surfaces of various carbon materials: Activated Carbon (AC), non-porous Carbon Black (CB) and Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)with different surface chemistry have been...

Development and testing of thin composite palladium membrane for membrane fuel cell processors. (2010)
Thesis
CHEN, C.C. 2010. Development and testing of thin composite palladium membrane for membrane fuel cell processors. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The Palladium (Pd) based membranes have long been the focus of studies for the separation of hydrogen due to its high permeability and selectivity toward hydrogen. However, palladium is a precious metal and extremely expensive and its wider applicati...

Development of a novel single-phase auto-reclosing scheme for distribution network with integrated distributed generation. (2010)
Thesis
TAN, S.F. 2010. Development of a novel single-phase auto-reclosing scheme for distribution network with integrated distributed generation. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

According to G59 recommendation, the common practice adopted by utilities in the UK is to disconnect Distributed generators (DGs) immediately once a network fault is detected to prevent islanding operation and disruption of the operation of conventio...

Development and application of novel tracers for environmental applications. (2010)
Thesis
ADAMS, M. 2010. Development and application of novel tracers for environmental applications. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Novel glass tracers, organic and inorganic polymers based on narrow band atomic fluorescence, have been developed for deployment as environmental tracers. The use of discrete fluorescent species in an environmentally stable host has been investigated... Read More about Development and application of novel tracers for environmental applications..
