The illegal production of synthetic drugs in clandestine laboratories is an emerging threat within the European Union, necessitating improved methods for law enforcement agencies to locate these illegal sites. Combining gas chromatography and ion mobility spectrometry is a promising technology for reliably …

Netcongestie belemmert de energietransitie, waardoor energieopslag belangrijker wordt. Lithium-ion batterijen zijn gangbaar, maar niet duurzaam en mogelijk schaars. Dit onderzoek verkent alternatieven: waterstofbatterijen en watertorens. Door klimaatverandering ontstaan risico’s zoals watertekort en …

This study provides insights into novel combinations of hydrothermal modifications and mineral enrichment by demonstrating the versatility of this environmentally more benign approach compared to other common chemical starch modifications like crosslinking. Heat-moisture treatment (HMT) (15% moisture, …

In dit onderzoek wordt beoordeeld of batterijopslag op melkveebedrijven financieel rendabel is wanneer zij werken met dynamische energiecontracten. Er is te zien dat pieken in zonne-energieproductie, netcongestie en het afbouwen van de salderingsregeling de behoefte aan eigen opslag vergroten. Interviews …

A replacement of cars with conventional internal combustion engines (ICEs) by electric vehicles (EVs) is seen by many as a means to improve local air quality, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and CO2 emissions. The market for EV is slowly developing with a growing number of (subsidized) manufacturers …

The intermittency of renewable energy technologies requires adequate storage technologies. Hydrogen systems consisting of electrolysers, storage tanks, and fuel cells can be implemented as well as batteries. The requirements of the hydrogen purification unit is missing from literature. We measured the …

Native potato starch is an excellent carrier of minerals due to its inherent ion exchange capacity. Mineral enrichment not only changes the nutritional value but also influences starch pasting and swelling properties. Hydrothermal treatments like annealing constitute a straightforward and green way to …

In this research there was looked at the connection between the Zeta potential and the pressure sensitivity of a chloroprene dispersion in order to gain insight in dispersion stability. This was done by varying the pH and ionic strength of the chloroprene dispersion. There was also looked at whether …
