Powder dispersion

 Yesterday, I attended a fascinating webinar on powder dispersion.

I had originally been rejected for attending the webinar, which was a new experience.

But my interest in the subject is genuine, withpowdered zero valent iron taking centre stage during my PhD research. 

Dr. Jacob provided an expert view Of the physical characteristics of different powders, Including two of my favourites  - metals and activated carbon. These are very different physical properties, including their relative densities and absorption capabilities. For me powdered zero iron acted as an electron donor in a redox remediation of contaminated waste water. And my previous love activated carbon is applied in drinking water Treatment to add sob organics and so treating taste.

Other factors that Dr Jacob covered with the health and safety factors and physical losses.

Well, thanks to Dr Jacob for a fascinating webinar.

Let me know when you have turned a rejection around to end in a positive result?

The A team

  Don't let this distract you from the fact that, in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

Ammonia

  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
