‘Algal blushing’ : characterization and bioprospecting of a novel alpine Haematococcus species from New Zealand for astaxanthin production.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
In recent years there has been a growing interest in astaxanthin production from Haematococcus lacustris in the field of microalgal biotechnology. Astaxanthin is a keto-carotenoid pigment that has important applications ...
Electrochemical micromachining of aluminium for microfluidic devices
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
Through-mask electrochemical micromachining (TMEMM) combines photolithographic masking with anodic metal dissolution and thus enables the mass fabrication of microfluidic devices made from metals. To achieve an even removal ...
Enzymatic hydrolysis of office paper and newspaper to reducing sugars.
(University of Canterbury, 2005)
Abundant lignocellulosic biomass from municipal solid waste (MSW) is comprised of 40 %
waste paper, which can be utilised to produce bioethanol, a renewable energy resource to reduce
fossil fuel use. Eventhough lignocellulosic ...
Physical properties of simple and complex sugar systems.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
Honey, maple syrup and sugars during refining are examples of a complex solutions of concentrated sugars and other solutes. The physical properties of such systems are required for the design and optimization of processes ...
The development of ultra-high temperature experimental capabilities for the electrolytic extraction of titanium from New Zealand steel’s iron slag.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
While titanium exhibits excellent mechanical and corrosion resistant properties, its
high price severely limits its applications. The inefficiency of the Kroll process, the
predominant production method for titanium, has ...
Functionalized zeolites with hierarchical and core-shell architectures.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
Zeolites are well known for their ordered microporous networks, good hydrothermal stability, large surface area, high acidity and selectivity. These excellent properties make zeolites extremely useful for petrochemical ...
Development of a computational framework for the prediction of free–ion activities, ionic equilibria and solubility in dairy liquids.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
The electrolytes in milk are essential as nutrients and for osmotic balance and have been well characterised at normal milk concentrations. When milk is concentrated by evaporation or reverse osmosis, the concentration of ...
Characterisation of granular flows using multiscale modelling.
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
Granular materials are ubiquitous in industry and nature. The performance of industrial granular processes is highly sensitive to operating conditions, which poses a challenge for designing process equipment. Granular flow ...
