The appraisal of mesophilic anaerobic digestion and thermophilic aerobic digestion in the treatment of municipal sludge in Ireland
McGuinness, Joanne (Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2003-07)It has been well documented that the optimum feedstock for anaerobic digesters consists of readily biodegradable compounds, as found in primary sludge or even a mixed substrate of primary and excess activated sludge. Due ... -
Biogas production from seaweed biomass : a biorefinery approach
Vanegas Ramirez, Carlos H. (Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2015)As the demand for energy is increasing worldwide, many countries are becoming increasingly dependent on fossil fuel consumption, leading to a rapid increase in carbon dioxide and reduction of petroleum reserves. Alternative ... -
Cu-Doped TiO2: Visible Light Assisted Photocatalytic Antimicrobial Activity /
Mathew, Snehamol; Ganguly, Priyanka; Rhatigan, Stephen; Kumaravel, Vignesh; Byrne, Ciara; Hinder, Steven J.; Bartlett, John; Nolan, Michael; Pillai, Suresh C. (MDPI, 2018-10-26)Surface contamination by microbes is a major public health concern. A damp environment is one of potential sources for microbe proliferation. Smart photocatalytic coatings on building surfaces using semiconductors like ... -
Economic and Environmental Analysis of SmallScale Anaerobic Digestion Plants on Irish Dairy Farms /
O’Connor, Sean; Ehimen, Ehiaze; Pillai, Suresh C.; Lyons, Gary; Bartlett, John (MDPI, 2020)The European Union’s (EU) climate and energy package requires all EU countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20% by 2020. Based on current trends, Ireland is on track to miss this target with a projected ... -
Face Masks and Respirators in the Fight Against the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review of Current Materials, Advances and Future Perspectives /
O'Dowd, Kris; Nair, Keerthi M.; Forouzandeh, Parnia; Mathew, Snehamol; Grant, Jamie; Moran, Ruth; Bartlett, John; Bird, Jerry; Pillai, Suresh C. (MDPI, 2020)The outbreak of COVID-19 has spread rapidly across the globe, greatly affecting how humans as a whole interact, work and go about their daily life. One of the key pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is ... -
Indium-Doped TiO2 Photocatalysts with High-Temperature Anatase Stability /
Kumaravel, Vignesh; Rhatigan, Stephen; Mathew, Snehamol; Bartlett, John; Nolan, Michael; Hinder, Steven J.; Sharma, Preetam K.; Singh, Anukriti; Byrne, J. Anthony; Harrison, John; Pillai, Suresh C. (American Chemical Society, 2019)The thermal stability of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a prerequisite to fabricate photocatalyst coated indoor building materials for use in antimicrobial and self-cleaning applications under normal room light ... -
An investigation into the use of tallow as a thermal fuel in Ireland
Skelton, Dympna (Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2008)The study investigates the use of tallow as a thermal fuel in Ireland, focusing on its suitability as a fuel in steam raising boilers. The legislative position of such use with regard to the protection of health is ... -
Landfill as a future option for the disposal of treated electroplating chemicals such as metal bearing sludges and filtercakes in Ireland
Hourigan, Daniel (Institute of Technology, Sligo, 1998-06)Currently the fifteen Irish electroplating plant that have applied for an IPC licence produce 394.6 tonnes/annum electroplating sludge and 33.6 cubic metres of waste solution. This electroplating sludge is exported for ... -
Mo doped TiO2 : impact on oxygen vacancies, anatase phase stability and photocatalytic activity /
Kumaravel, Vignesh; Rhatigan, Stephen; Mathew, Snehamol; Michel, Marie Clara; Bartlett, John; Nolan, Michael; Hinder, Steven J.; Gascó, Antonio; Ruiz-Palomar, César; Hermosilla, Daphne; Pillai, Suresh C. (IOP Publishing, 2020)This work outlines an experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of molybdenum (Mo) doping on the oxygen vacancy formation and photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Analytical techniques such as x-ray diffraction ... -
Photoelectrochemical Conversion of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) into Fuels and Value-Added Products /
Kumaravel, Vignesh; Bartlett, John; Pillai, Suresh C. (ACS, 2020)The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and value-added products is one of the most significant inventions to address the global warming and energy needs. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 conversion can be considered ... -
A review of the development of regional sludge treatment centres and a baseline characterisation of Irish sewage sludges
Lehany, Jane C. (Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2003)This Study assessed the development of sludge treatment and reuse policy since the original 1993 National Sludge Strategy Report (Weston-FTA, 1993). A review of the 48 sludge treatment centres, current wastewater treatment ... -
