‘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 ...
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 ...
