The effect of incompletely condensed polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) on hybrid film adhesion
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) structure on the adhesion behaviour of composite films onto a metallic surface. The composite films consisted of ...
Spatial distribution, radiological risk assessment and positive matrix factorization of gamma-emitting radionuclides in the sediment of the Boka Kotorska Bay
(Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021)
Surface sediment from the Boka Kotorska Bay (Adriatic Sea) was analyzed for the content of technogenic cesium (137Cs) and naturally occurring (40K, 226Ra, 232Th, 238U) radionuclides. The activity concentrations of the ...
Valorization of corn stover and molasses for enzyme synthesis, lignocellulosic hydrolysis and bioethanol production by Hymenobacter sp. CKS3
(Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2021)
During the last few decades, energy demand is increasing rapidly. Concerning this, the use of renewables - lignocellulose biomass, for bioethanol production, as an efficient alternative to replacing fossil fuels, is highly ...
Fabrication of bacterial cellulose-based wound dressings with improved performance by impregnation with alginate
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Bacterial cellulose (BC) hydrogels are among the most efficient materials already being used for the treatment of complex wounds. The moist environment provided by the BC dressing is a key feature assuring efficient wound ...
Optimization of forced periodic operations in milli-scale fixed bed reactor for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
One-dimensional pseudo-homogenous dynamic reactor model, incorporating detailed Fischer-Tropsch kinetics, was applied in a theoretical analysis of forced periodic operations. A milli-scale fixed-bed reactor was analyzed, ...
Leaching of metastannic acid from e-waste by-products
(Springer, New York, 2020)
Anode slime and tin precipitate as by-products of the electrorefining (ER) of non-standard anodes obtained after experimental smelting of waste electric and electronic equipment (e-waste), in addition to the base and ...
Application of waste cotton yarn as adsorbent of heavy metal ions from single and mixed solutions
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2020)
In this study, waste cotton yarn was used for the removal of Pb (II), Cd (II), Cr (III), and As (V) from aqueous solution. Adsorption of heavy metal ions was tested from single ion solutions, while competitive studies were ...
Aerogel Re/Pd-TiO2/SiO2 and Co/Mo-Al2O3/SiO2 catalysts for hydrodesulphurisation of dibenzothiophene and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene
(Catalysis Today, 2021)
Re/Pd-TiO2/SiO2 and Co/Mo-Al2O3/SiO2 aerogel catalysts were synthesized using sol-gel method and super-critical drying in excess solvent, and investigated in the hydrodesulphurisation (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and ...
The structural, electrical and optical properties of spark plasma sintered BaSn1-xSbxO3 ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Antimony doped barium-stannate dense ceramic materials were synthesized using spark plasma sintering technique out of mechanically activated precursor powders. The influence of various Sb concentrations (x = 0.00 - 0.10) ...
Reuse potential of functionalized thermoplastic waste as reinforcement for thermoset polymers: Mechanical properties and erosion resistance
(SAGE Publications Ltd., 2021)
Two types of polymer waste materials, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polycarbonate based Colombian Resin (CR-39), were used for the designing of fully recycled composite materials. Waste PET was employed for the ...
