  • Carbon Brainprint Case Study: optimising defouling schedules for oil- refinerypreheat trains 
    Parsons, David J.; Chatterton, Julia C.; Wilson, Ian; Ishiyama, Edward (2011-07-31)
    In an oil refinery, crude oil is heated to 360-370°C before entering a distillation columnoperating at atmospheric pressure where the gas fraction and several liquid fractions withdifferent boiling points (e.g. gasoline, ...
  • Carbon brainprint – An estimate of the intellectual contribution of research institutions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions 
    Chatteron, Julia C.; Parsons, David J.; Nicholls, John R.; Longhurst, Philip J.; Bernon, Mike; Palmer, Andrew; Brennan, Feargal P.; Kolios, Athanasios; Wilson, Ian; Ishiyama, Edward; Clements-Croome, Derek; Elmualim, Abbas; Darby, Howard; Yearly, Tom; Davies, Gareth J. (Elsevier, 2015-05-07)
    Research and innovation have considerable, currently unquantified potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by, for example, increasing energy efficiency. Furthermore, the process of knowledge transfer in itself can ...
  • Detonation performance of urea hydrogen peroxide 
    Halleux, Francis; Pons, Jean-François; Wilson, Ian; Van Riet, Romuald; Simoens, Bart; Lefebvre, Michel (Unknown, 2022-04-06)
    Carbamide Peroxide is commonly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as a solid source of hydrogen peroxide. This adduct of Urea and Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP) has explosive properties, which have been only ...
  • Detonation performance of Urea-Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP) 
    Halleux, Francis; Pons, Jean-François; Wilson, Ian; Simoens, Bart; Van Riet, Romuald; Lefebvre, Michel (Wiley, 2023-02-23)
    Carbamide Peroxide, an adduct of Urea and Hydrogen Peroxide, is commonly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as a solid source of hydrogen peroxide. However, it exhibits explosive properties and can be easily ...
  • Development of metal-organic framework (MOF) sensors for landmine detection 
    Humphreys, Lisa; Wilson, Ian; McAteer, Daniel; Pons, Jeff (AMA Service GmbH, 2019-07-19)
    Rural populations in Colombia are significantly affected by anti-personnel mines used by revolutionary armed forces. These mines typically contain ammonium nitrate (AN) based explosive compositions. The international ...
  • Further insights into the discoloration of TATB under ionizing radiation 
    Lewis, Dan; Padfield, James; Connors, Scott; Wilson, Ian; Akhavan, Jacqueline (Taylor and Francis, 2020-02-26)
    To determine degradation products formed by exposure of TATB to ionizing radiation, a computational and experimental study is presented. Thermochemical and spectral data have been calculated using DFT at the MH06-HF/aug-cc-pVTZ ...
  • Small-scale characterisation of urea hydrogen peroxide explosive performance using heterodyne velocimetry 
    Halleux, Francis; Stennett, Christopher; Pons, Jean-François; Wilson, Ian; Lefebvre, Michel (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-06-24)
    Urea Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP) is widely available in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. UHP exhibits the behaviour of a tertiary explosive and previous research from the same authors has highlighted its detonability ...
  • Small-scale detonation of industrial Urea-Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP) 
    Halleux, Francis; Pons, Jean-François; Wilson, Ian; Van Riet, Romuald; Lefebvre, Michel (Wiley, 2021-12-03)
    The adduct of Urea and Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP), also called Carbamide Peroxide, is industrially produced as a solid source of hydrogen peroxide for bleaching, disinfection, and oxidation reactions. As a chemical combination ...
  • Stability and hazard properties of improvised nitrocellulose 
    Moniruzzaman, Mohammed; Houlihan, Emma; Parker, Matthew; Wilson, Ian (Taylor & Francis, 2023-02-12)
    Nitrocellulose is a vulnerable and sensitive energetic material that can easily be manufactured from ordinary household chemicals and used for illicit purposes. Hazards of this material can lead to incidents resulting from ...
  • Urea-Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP): comparative study on the experimental detonation pressure of a non-ideal explosive 
    Halleux, Francis; Pons, Jean-François; Wilson, Ian; Stennett, Christopher; Van Riet, Romuald; Lefebvre, Michel (Wiley, 2023-08-28)
    Carbamide Peroxide, an adduct of Urea and Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP) industrially used as a solid source of hydrogen peroxide, exhibits the behaviour of a tertiary explosive but a detailed performance characterisation is still ...
