Advancing Dissolvable Fertilizer

Dissolvable Fertilizers are an agricultural innovation with slow and controlled fertilizer release. This technology is posed to reduce application costs and lead to optimized nutrient uptake by plants. Furthermore, it promises to reduce the agricultural, carbon footprint, as the frequency and amount of fertilizer applied is decreased resulting in less environmental pollution from nutrient loss. […]

Numerical Study of Fluid Flow and Phase Behaviour of Tight Geothermal Reservoir

This research proposes a systematic workflow, which utilizes theoretical approaches to identify the complex fluid flow mechanisms and quantify the phase behaviour of confined fluids for geothermal reservoirs. Due to the complexity of tight geothermal reservoirs, conventional EOS cannot be efficiently applied since it does not take into account the interactions between molecules-molecules (m-m) and […]

Nature-based air purifier integrated with biochar-cellulose aerogels with long-term durability and multi-pollutant removal capacity

Indoor pollution sources (e.g., fuel-burning combustion appliances, building materials, and furnishings) are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems. Household air pollution was responsible for an estimated 3.2 million deaths per year in 2020, including over 237,000 deaths of children under the age of 5. To address this problem, we developed a nature-based air […]
