Why Not ChemEng Success story
» ‎ Chemical Engineering

Whynotchemeng website which was implemented to inspire student and professionals on chemical engineering studies has achieved remarkable success. According to ICHEME analysis the website has been played a major role on conversion student on chemical engineering studies. I found that fact on TCETDAY magazine (2010 January). It launched promotional campaigns using social networks, google ads, youtube and many innovative ways to market their inspirational campaign.

Today young people spend considerable amount of their active time on internet and interactive web solutions such as blogs, social networks, social bookmarking … etc are wonderful way to give them a message.

IChemE had identified the potential and grab it. Congratulations ………

I am looking for more innovative campaigns in future.

Biodiesel from Used vegetable oil - via transesterification
» ‎ Chemical Engineering

Used vegetable oil can be turned into bio diesel via chemical reaction. This chemical conversion is called transesterification. [definition from wikipedia - In organic chemistry, transesterification is the process of exchanging the organic group R" of an ester with the organic group R' of an alcohol. These reactions are often catalyzed by the addition of an acid or base.]

We can produce biodiesel from used vegetable oil by a process involves reacting vegetable oils or animal fats catalytically with a short-chain aliphatic alcohols (typically methanol or ethanol).

This process can simplified then it will boost in small and medium scale business and even as home made biodiesel projects.

Following readings will helpful for more understanding.

AquaSim software and tutorials
» ‎ Chemical Engineering

I downloaded AquaSim demo version and some of tutorials as it is a recommended and used modeling package for our M. Sc course. The
AQUASIM has been designed to provide a more universal identification and simulation tool for a class of aquatic systems important in the
environmental sciences. An additional important program design criterion was user-friendliness, which was achieved not only by providing a graphical
user interface, but also by utilizing a communication "language" familiar to environmental scientists. AQUASIM is extremely exible in allowing the user
to specify transformation processes, and, in addition to perform simulations for the user-specied model, it provides elementary methods for parameter
identiability analysis, for parameter estimation and for uncertainty analysis.

AQUASIM was developed in the years 1991-1994 in the Computer and Systems Sciences department of the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science
and Technology (EAWAG), CH-8600 Dubendorf, Switzerland, and it is maintained and extended since then. The program was designed mainly for internal use in research and
teaching, but is also available to the public.

What is Carbon Foot Print?

The definition of the Carbon Foot Print can be as follows.

‘‘The total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by an [individual, event, organisation, product] expressed as CO2e.’’ ¹

The carbon foot print of above parties encompasses three ways of carbon emissions.

1. Direct emissions that result from activities such as combustion of fuels, emission of gases during operation, production and manufacture, and running of a vehicle fleet

2. Emissions from electricity usage

3. Indirect emissions from products and services that the organization does not directly control (Emmision from indirect activities of the main process such as preparation and transport of the raw materials)

EuroNanoMedicine 2009 - Nanomedicine as an opportunity in modern medicine
» ‎ Chemical Engineering

EuroNanoMedicine 2009 from 28-30 September in Bled

The treatment of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis or dementia is also modern medicine still face major challenges. Promising approaches, the "nano", ie the use of tiny particles in the diagnosis and therapy. The latest progress and results are on the EuroNanoMedicine 2009 at 28-30 September 2009 in Bled, Slovenia, by experts from the fields of medicine, nanotechnology, chemistry, cell biology and toxicology are presented and discussed.

Outstanding issues of EuroNanoMedicine 2009, including the body's own barriers to overcome with the help of nanoscale active transport systems, new nano-based diagnostics and Biokompabilität and toxicity of such novel systems. The three-day conference includes, in addition to scientific considerations also political and social aspects of nanomedicine in Europe.

Nanomaterials are primarily known in the industry, for example in the coating of surfaces. In nanomedicine nanoparticles are, inter alia, as drug carriers are used. They should be active against premature degradation on its way through the body or prevent the inclusion in the body easier. By inserting specific biological functions at the nanoscale surface of this vehicle is a directed drug release at the destination can be achieved. This can reduce the effectiveness of the drug increase and decrease side effects.

EuroNanoMedicine organizers of the 2009 is the multidisciplinary NanoBioPharmaceutics Integrated Project together with the projects NanoEar and MediTrans, all three projects will be funded by the European Commission. In NanoBioPharmaceutics have 25 partners from 12 EU countries and Israel together, including 12 universities, six research institutes, four SMEs and three large pharmaceutical companies. The project has a duration of four years and ends in September 2010.

The aim of the project is biodegradable nanoparticle-based transportation systems that provide protein or peptide drugs safely through physiological barriers are transported and released at the destination can be set. For example, a first Alzheimer's medication, the blood-brain barrier pass, which the brain protects against harmful substances. Even for diabetes patients would be a big gain in quality of life mean, it could be diabetes medication orally instead of by injection. Moreover, within nano-BioPharmaceutics new test systems based on cell cultures and investigated with the results from animal experiments compared. The long-term goal here is to find methods that are currently for testing animal testing of drugs prescribed limit, and perhaps someday may replace.

Towards the end of the third year project is under NanoBioPharmaceutics a wide range of nanoparticulate systems have been developed, optimized and are currently on their success and their suitability for the transport of drugs in oral or nasal intake or through the blood-brain barrier to be reviewed.
