Valorization of walnut shell ash as a catalyst for biodiesel production
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The catalytic activity of the walnut shell ash was investigated in the biodiesel production by the sunflower oil methanolysis. The catalyst was characterized by the TG-DTA, XRD, Hg porosimetry, Ny physisorption, SEM, and ...
New Theoretical Insight into Fluorination and Fluorine-Fluorine Interactions as a Driving Force in Crystal Structures
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2020)
Fluorination of compounds causes an increase in the proton-donating ability and a decrease in the proton-accepting capacity of groups in their vicinity. The formation of F center dot center dot center dot F interactions ...
Bifunctional catalytic activity of Zn1-xFexO toward the OER/ORR: seeking an optimal stoichiometry
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2020)
Eco-friendly and rapid microwave processing of a precipitate was used to produce Fe-doped zinc oxide (Zn1-xFexO,x= 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.20; ZnO:Fe) nanoparticles, which were tested as catalysts toward the oxygen reduction ...
Amides as a model system of low molar mass algal organic matter. Influence on the adsorption of p-nitrophenol on activated carbon
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
In this study, the adsorption equilibrium and diffusivity parameters of p-nitrophenol were estimated for water containing different concentrations of secondary amides. Commercial powdered activated carbon was used as an ...
A CaO/zeolite-based catalyst obtained from waste chicken eggshell and coal fly ash for biodiesel production
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The present paper is focused on the development of a new environment-friendly methanolysis catalyst completely based on waste materials: lignite coal fly ash and chicken eggshells. A novel catalyst based on CaO supported ...
New Eco-Friendly Xanthate-Based Flotation Agents
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
An optimal laboratory two-step procedure was developed for sodium/potassium O-alkyl carbonodithioate (sodium/potassium alkyl xanthates) production in the form of aqueous solutions. Sodium isopropyl xanthate (Na-iPrX), as ...
Sintering, crystallization and foaming of La2O3 center dot SrO center dot 5B(2)O(3) glass powders: effect of the holding time
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Sintering, crystallization and foaming of nano glass powders with composition La2O3 center dot SrO center dot 5B(2)O(3) were studied by hot stage microscopy (HSM) and simultaneous thermal analysis (DTA-TG) under non-isothermal ...
Growth control of molds isolated from smoked fermented sausages using basil and caraway essential oils, in vitro and in vivo
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Food contamination by molds is a serious issue in food industry still today. On the other hand, consumers today demand food that is minimally processed and without synthetic preservatives and additives. Therefore, the ...
Reactor conceptual design by optimization for hydrogen production through intensified sorption- and membrane-enhanced water-gas shift reaction
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
In this feasibility study, a novel industrial-scale reactor structure for continuous hydrogen production via intensified water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is proposed. It considers both trickling calcium-oxide sorbent for ...
Considerations for the design and conduct of human gut microbiota intervention studies relating to foods
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2020)
With the growing appreciation for the influence of the intestinal microbiota on human health, there is increasing motivation to design and refine interventions to promote favorable shifts in the microbiota and their ...
