Influence of surface active agents on bubble activity in high frequency cleaning systems KU Leuven
One of the multiple challenges that the semiconductor industry is facing in maintaining the current scaling trends is the removal of undesired contamination, typically originating from the environment or from fabrication process steps. Cleaning steps are among the most critical since they are repeated several times during IC fabrication. In particular, the critical size of the particles to be removed has decreased, following the general IC ...

Gas cell stabilization in bread containing non-wheat cereals KU Leuven
Bread is an important staple food around the globe. In Europe and other parts of the world, it is most often made from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour and mainly with a straight-dough process. This process starts by mixing flour, water, yeast, salt, and potentially a number of non-essential ingredients into viscoelastic dough. The dough is then fermented, which results in gas cell expansion and thus in an increased dough volume. ...

Synthesis of Novel Chelating Surfactants and Their Use in Recovery of Metals by Ion Flotation KU Leuven
For more than 100 years the EU mining industries have been discarding their extractive-waste residues. Estimates suggest this represents 29% of the EU-28’s current waste output. When poorly managed these residues are a significant environmental hazard. Sulfidic Cu-Zn, Zn-Pb and Cu-Zn-Pb tailings pose the largest challenge, as they are prone to acid mine drainage. However, these tailings also contain valuable metals. Remediation and ...
A combined molecular dynamics – experimental investigation of oxidic slag structure and its properties Ghent University
Recycling and decarburizing current metallurgical processes is key for our planet’s future. For both recycling and decarburizing, electric furnaces will play an important role. To make this switch to electric furnaces, more fundamental understanding is an absolute prerequisite but still lacking. Specifically, more information on physical properties (e.g. electrical conductivity, viscosity, surface tension) of the slag phase, a mixture of ...
