Production value of China’s membrane ndustry grew over 20% YoY in 2010-2015 period. China-made microfiltration membranes, ultrafiltration membranes and some reverse osmosis membranes have entered the international market along with the necessary engineering services.

Changes in customer preferences have prompted beauty and personal care industries to manufacture customized products for men. With advances in technology across industries, customers are no longer restricted to manual grooming products.

Muconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid. Dicarboxylic acids are chemical compounds that contain two carboxylic functional groups that are denoted in organic chemistry as COOH. These carboxylic compounds may be either aliphatic or aromatic. Dicarboxylic acids show reactive behaviour to monocarboxylic acids. Muconic acid is produced by the enzymatic degradation of certain aromatic chemical compounds.

Personal lubricants are liquids or gels used during sexual intercourse and masturbation to reduce friction, enhance pleasure, or reduce pain. They are also used in cases of vaginal dryness. Lubricants can prevent dryness and chafing during penetration. Based on composition, lubricants are classified into water-based, oil-based, and silicone-based lubricants.

Lubricant additives are those chemical compounds that are added to lubricants in order to improve the performance of the lubricant oil.

Being an environment-friendly chemical, hydrogen peroxide is generally used for oxidizing reactions. It is the most simple and versatile peroxide and is formed during the chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen. It is more viscous than water and colorless when it is in diluted form. High concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are harmful. Hence, it is generally diluted with water and then used in various end-use industries like F&B, textiles & laundry, chemical synthesis, wastewater treatment, pulp & paper, oil & gas, electronics, and healthcare. A major share of hydrogen peroxide is consumed for the manufacturing of other chemicals.

This report explores the volatility of primary organic aerosol (POA) emitted from light duty gasoline-powered vehicles at atmospherically relevant concentrations using state of the science instrumentation. Existing POA partitioning models were tested through analysis of emissions changes that result from perturbations to the dilution air used during vehicle sampling.

Active DMFCs require complicated balance of plant to ensure recirculation of unreacted methanol and internally produced water as well as venting of exhaust gases. An alternative approach is redesign of the fuel delivery system to accommodate concentrated methanol that is consumed entirely within the fuel cell, thus removing the need for recirculation. A specialized anodic porous structure was designed which the dual role of flowfield and diffusion medium for concentrated methanol. In addition, a highly hydrophobic gas diffusion media were used at the DMFC cathode to prevent water loss by promoting water back-diffusion to the anode. This internally dilutes the methanol and enables use of highly concentrated methanol. The anodic porous structure used in concert with the hydrophobic cathode diffusion medium led to gross fuel energy densities of the operating cell of ca. 845 W*hr/Lfuel and fuel utilization in excess of 70%. A small 2 cell stack was built and successfully operated to verify that the concept is scalable. The hydrophobicity of the cathode diffusion layer is of vital importance for this concept and research for improved materials that will reduce water loss even more is still ongoing using internal funds. The project also funded student research at Northeastern University and at Inter American University in Puerto Rico. This hardware based program complemented an IFDL modeling program sponsored by the DOE.
