Utilization of supercritical CO2 in bioactive principles isolation from Helichrysum italicum and their adsorption on selected fabrics
(Journal of Supercritical Fluids, 2021)
Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don fil., Asteraceae, possesses numerous secondary plant metabolites with a wide range of biological activities. Yet, data on the potential of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) in their ...
Mechanism of mediated alkali peroxide oxidation and triplet versus singlet oxygen formation
(Nature Research, 2021)
Aprotic alkali metal-O-2 batteries face two major obstacles to their chemistry occurring efficiently, the insulating nature of the formed alkali superoxides/peroxides and parasitic reactions that are caused by the highly ...
Development of advanced floating poly(lactic acid)-based materials for colored wastewater treatment
(Journal of Supercritical Fluids, 2021)
The release of industrial wastewater into the ecosystem prompted our research on the development of an efficient and biodegradable material that can be used for wastewater treatment. We optimized preparation of porous ...
A universal transportation model for reverse osmosis systems
(Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2021)
This paper presents a new transport model for reverse osmosis (RO) systems, which combines irreversible thermodynamics, together with solution-diffusion theory. The simplifications adopted by the classical theory for ...
Encapsulation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus in Polyvinyl Alcohol for the production of L-(+)-Lactic Acid
(Process Biochemistry, 2021)
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was investigated as a carrier for Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 7469 cells for application in L-(+)-lactic acid (LA) fermentation on low-cost food industry by-products. Brewer?s spent grain (BSG) ...
Nonlinear frequency response analysis: a recent review and perspectives
(Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, 2021)
The nonlinear frequency response analysis (NFRA) can be seen as an extension of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. NFRA gives a full and detailed representation of the system response and can establish a connection ...
Novel composite scaffolds based on alginate and Mg-doped calcium phosphate fillers: Enhanced hydroxyapatite formation under biomimetic conditions
(Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B-Applied Biomaterials, 2021)
In the present study, we synthesized hydroxyapatite (HAP) powders followed by the production of alginate based macroporous scaffolds with the aim to imitate the natural bone structure. HAP powders were synthesized by using ...
Optimization of modifier deposition on the alumina surface to enhance mechanical properties and cavitation resistance
(Springer, New York, 2020)
Composites based on poly(methyl methacrylate), dimethyl itaconate matrix and alumina particles were prepared. Ferrous oxide-doped alumina particles (Al2O3Fe) and commercial alumina nanoparticles (Al(2)O(3)n) modified with ...
Oxidized Hemp Fibers with Simultaneously Increased Capillarity and Reduced Moisture Sorption as Suitable Textile Material for Advanced Application in Sportswear
(Fibers and Polymers, 2021)
Applications of hemp fibers, as a promising natural material in the textile field, mostly require improved fiber properties. In this paper, the oxidation of hemp fibers with potassium permanganate was applied to reduce the ...
Facile fabrication of hybrid titanium(IV) isopropoxide/pozzolan nanosheets (TnS-Pz) of high photocatalytic activity: characterization and application for Cr(VI) reduction in an aqueous solution
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2021)
This paper presents the synthesis of a hybrid material through the use of natural pozzolan and titanium(IV) isopropoxide using the sol-gel method and its application in the photocatalytic hexavalent chromium reduction. The ...
