On the mathematical structure of balanced chemical reaction networks governed by mass action kinetics Ghent University
Deterministic modeling of the interplay between molecular diffusion and chemical kinetics of bulk RAFT polymerization Ghent University
The objective of this thesis was to develop methods to predict the structural characteristics of RAFT polymer products resulting from predefined reaction conditions. This was achieved by modelling the reaction kinetics of this type of polymerization and validating model output with experimental data. In this work the polymerization of styrene and vinyl acetate were modeled in detail, but the same methods can be used for other monomers.
An intrinsic kinetics based methodology for multi-scale modeling of chemical reactions Ghent University
Conservatively Perturbed Equilibrium (CPE) in chemical kinetics Ghent University
Application of state diagrams to understand the nature and kinetics of (bio) chemical reactions in dry common bean seeds: A scientific guide to establish suitable postharvest storage conditions KU Leuven
Storage is a fundamental part of the common bean postharvest chain that ensures a steady supply of safe and nutritious beans of acceptable cooking quality to the consumers. Although it is known that extrinsic factors of temperature and relative humidity (influencing the bean moisture content) control the cooking quality deterioration of beans during storage, the precise interactions among these extrinsic factors and the physical state of the ...
Chemistry reduction of complex CO₂ chemical kinetics University of Antwerp
A gliding arc (GA) plasma has great potential for CO2 conversion into value-added chemicals, because of its high energy efficiency. To improve the application, a 2D/3D fluid model is needed to investigate the CO2 conversion mechanisms in the actual discharge geometry. Therefore, the complex CO2 chemical kinetics description must be reduced due to the huge computational cost associated with 2D/3D models. This paper presents a chemistry reduction ...
Investigating chemical changes during shelf-life of thermal and high pressure high temperature sterilized carrot purees: a ‘fingerprinting kinetics’ approach KU Leuven
This work investigates chemical changes during shelf-life of thermally and high pressure high temperature (HPHT) sterilised carrot purees using a 'fingerprinting kinetics' approach. Fingerprinting enabled selection of Strecker aldehydes, terpenes, phenylpropanoids, fatty acid derivatives and carotenoid degradation products as volatiles clearly changing during shelf-life. Next, kinetic modelling of these volatiles was performed to compare their ...
Energy and Chemicals through Pyrolysis of Thermoplastic Polymers: Kinetics and Reactor Design (Energie en chemicaliën via pyrolyse van thermoplastische kunststoffen: kinetica en reactorontwerp) KU Leuven
Recycling plastic solid waste (PSW) is becoming more and more important, due to (i) increasing landfilling constraints and taxes and (ii) the potential recovery of energy or chemicals. Three different routes for the beneficial utilisation of PSW are primary (re-extrusion of clean production scrap), secondary (mechanical treatment of production scrap and post consumer waste) and tertiary (energy recovery through incineration and co-incineration ...
