Virus Inactivation - Evaluation of Treatment Processes for Food and Biowaste

Animal by-products and manure contain valuable plant nutrients that could be recycled onto arable land, as fertiliser. If these materials contain pathogenic microorganisms, such as viruses, transmission to domestic animals, wildlife and the food chain could occur. Virus contamination of food may further occur during all production phases, from slaughter to packaging and distribution. To reduce ...

Novel glass-ceramic composition as sealant for SOFCs

This work deals with the design, the characterization and testing of a novel glass-ceramic to be used as sealant for planar solid oxide fuel cells and its compatibility with Mn1.5Co1.5O4 coated Crofer22APU. Thermal, sintering and crystallization behaviour and thermo mechanical properties of the sealant are reviewed and discussed, indicating therefore that these compositions can be deposited at ...

Recycling biowaste--human and animal health problems.

Biowaste from the food chain is of potential benefit to use in agriculture. Agriculture in general and organic farming in particular needs alternative plant nutrients. However, the quality concerning hygiene and soil contaminants must be assured. This recycling has to be regulated in a way that harmful effects on soil, vegetation, animals and man are prevented. The problems with heavy metals an...

Investigation of the oxidation behavior of Mn-coated AISI 441 steel for SOFCs interconnect application

Protective coatings that resist oxide scale growth and decrease chromium evaporation are necessary to makestainless steel interconnect materials for long-term durable operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Inthis study a layer of manganese was coated on the surface of AISI 441 ferritic stainless steel which is used insolid oxide fuel cells for interconnect applications. The oxidation beha...
