(STILLWATER, Okla., March 15, 2018) – Research by Dr. Qingsheng “Sam” Wang, Dale F. Janes Endowed Associate Professor in Fire Protection and Safety Engineering is featured by Advances in Engineering as a significant contribution in the area of Chemical Engineering and Process Safety. The paper is titled in "Hydrogen inhibition by using Cr(NO3)3•9H2O in the wet dust removal system for treatment of aluminum dust".
The paper was originally published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, one of the most prestigous journals in the energy field. For the first time, Professor Wang and his research group conducted a series of experimental studies to determine how utilizing Cr(NO3)3•9H2O solution could be an effective Hydrogen Inhibition Method. The research applied an idea of inherent safety and proved that regulated concentrations of Cr(NO3)3•9H2O solution were an effective way of inhibiting hydrogen production in the wet dust removal system for the treatment of aluminum dust (International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2018, 43 (4), 2514-2523), and hence prevent potential hydrogen fires and explosions in the aluminum manufacturing industry.
