Johann Gruber-Schmidt has completed his PhD at the age of 27 years from Technical University Vienna in 1992 in mechanical and chemical engineering. Then he started at Waagner Biro GmbH in Plant division. In the year 2000 he changed to the projects in renewable bioenergy in Lower Austria, where he worked in erection and commission till 2003. In the following years he designed and erected biomass and biogas CHP plants in Austria and turned to the field of small fixed gasification redesigning a prototype plant with mainly focus on gas cleaning and gas preparation and conversion for CHP Units. In the year 2011 he started biogas upgrading project to biomethane and syngas finished at 2013. From this time on he worked on the field DME and zero emission application in realizing projects in the power range up to 5000 kW till today and attend besides the projects congresses in agriculture and renewable energy and give oral presentations.

In the project HAGENBRUNN we now show the combination of steam gasification and biogas to enlarge the production of Dimethyl ether. In turn the energy efficiency and the conversion efficiency in the production of Dimethyl ether are shown. In the project HAGENBRUNN we also have a combination of the Dimethyl ether plant with a biogas plant based on biogenic wet waste. At the end of the fermentation process in the digester the digestate is stored in a large normally open tank. In former times the digestate was used to fertilize the agricultural fields. Because of the high content on potassium, phosphate, metals, natrium and ammonium, using heat and electric energy from the DME plant, the digestate can be separated into the liquid phase and the solid phase

Dr Robert Jacobs studied for his first degree and D.Phil at St Catherine’s College, University of Oxford, before in 2000 being appointed as Manager of the Surface Analysis Facility in the Chemistry Department of the University of Oxford and Lecturer at Magdalen College, University of Oxford.

My research interests are focused around applying state of the art instrumentation in surface science to novel problems. This has lead me into a wide range of fields including, amongst others, nanotechnology, electrochemistry and biotechnology. Many of the projects in which I become involved arise through collaborations with groups across the Department. Examples of publications arising from my work, are given below. My role in the Chemistry Department is as Instrument Scientist and Manager responsible for the Surface Analysis Facility (SAF). This is a suite of equipment housed in several purpose built laboratories in the basement of the Chemistry Research Laboratory. The SAF contains a wide variety of state of the art scientific equipment capable of many experimental methods including: atomic force microscopy, scanning tunnelling microscopy, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (including IRRAS, PMIRRAS and ATR spectroscopy), ellipsometry, X-ray reflectometry, surface characterisation by gas adsorption (surface area, pore size distribution etc.) and dynamic surface tension and contact angle measurements.

Professor Colin Thomas moved to the University of Birmingham from University College London in 1989. Previously, he had worked in the chemical industry for six years. He was the Head of Chemical Engineering at Birmingham in 2001 to 2002, Deputy Dean of Physical Sciences and Engineering from 2002 to 2005, Director of Teaching in Engineering from 2005 to 2008, and Director of Quality Assurance and Enhancement in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences from 2008 to 2011. He retired in December 2013. In 2005 Colin was awarded the Donald Medal of the Institution of Chemical Engineers for services to biochemical engineering. Colin developed two new analytical techniques that have underpinned most of his research. The first was the application of image analysis to studies of the morphology of filamentous fungi growing in submerged cultures. The second (with Professor Zhibing Zhang) was a micromanipulation technique with associated mathematical modelling for measuring the mechanical properties of biological cells.

Measurement of the mechanical properties of biological materials, using micromanipulation-based compression testing and associated modelling. Earlier work concerned the novel application of image analysis to the study of filamentous fermentations.

In this study, the carboxyl group functionalized-CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and melamine-formaldehyde resin particles captured-aminofluorescein (AF) were synthesized. They were conjugated with the sol-gel mixture of glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS) for the fabrication of hydrogen peroxide sensing membranes. CdSe/ZnS QDs joined the redox reaction of hydrogen peroxide via the reductive pathway involving the electron transfer to an acceptor that resulted in fluorescence quenching of QDs, whereas aminofluorescein (AF) was used as a reference dye. Herein, the ratiometric fluorescence of QDs and AF was proportional to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide

Miss Maria Marinescu received her PhD in 2010 from the University of Bucharest, under the supervision of Prof. Mihaela Hillebrand, studying the chemistry and the electronic structure of the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroacridine compounds, as a key structures for the new biomolecules and hydrogen-bonding receptors.
