ACADEMIC PROJECTS
City College of New York, New York, NY (Fall 2015& Spring 2016)
Formulation of body wash soap
200 g of body wash soap was prepared with SLS as main surfactant. CMC of SLS was experimentally determined using conductivity method, and it was found to be 9 mol/mL. The solution density and foam volume were experimentally found to be 1g/mL and 25 mL respectively. Finally, the stability test revealed that the soap solution was stable.
Management of product recall and strategy of product relaunching (sunscreen case)
A sunscreen was recalled for its inefficiency. After investigation, it was found that the wrong test was performed. The stability of active ingredients and the sun protection factor (SPF) of UV-A and UV-B needed to be tested. A new ingredient Solar stay 1 was added to the formula to stabilize the active ingredients and specific tests for UV-A and UV-B were performed in order to relaunch the product
City College of New York, New York, NY (Fall 2015& Spring 2016)
Hydrogen production by steam reforming using landfill gas and the excess of steam produced by Con Edison
Because H2 storage is quite dangerous, H2 was converted into formic acid by reacting H2 with CO2,and then stored.
The economic analysis revealed a return on investment (ROI) of 12% per year.
Conversion of NYC sewage into potable water through Supercritical Water Oxidation followed
by Vertically-Aligned Carbon Nanotube Membrane filtration.
The economic analysis indicated a return on investment (ROI) of 14% per year.
RESEARCH
Universidade Federal do Reconcavo, Cruz das Almas-Bahia, Brazil
Solid Wastes Management (June 2015 – September 2015)
Study of social and psychological impact of domestic waste disposal and the conversion of organic waste into compost and polymeric materials recycling.
City College of New York, New York, NY
The Degradation Process of Brominated Flame Retardant (HBCD) with Bisulfide in the Environment (June 2014-December 2015)
Anaerobic reaction between HBCD (flame-retardant with bisulfide in glove box).
Use of HPLC, LC-MS and GC-MS to characterize various isomers of HBCD.
