Purification technologies for crude biodiesel obtained by alkali-catalyzed transesterification
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
For commercial application, the ester product of alkali-catalyzed transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fats should be refined after glycerol separation by settling to fulfill the biodiesel standard specifications. ...
Antioxidant edible films based on chitosan and starch containing polyphenols from thyme extracts
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The aim of this study was to analyse the antioxidant activity of different polymeric matrices based on chitosan and starch, incorporating a thyme extract (TE) rich in polyphenols. TE provided the films with remarkable ...
Composite nanostructured hydroxyapatite/yttrium stabilized zirconia dental inserts - The processing and application as dentin substitutes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The objective of the study was to process nano-structured hydroxyapatite/yttrium-stabilized zirconia bioceramic and to investigate the possibilities of its application as dentin replacement in the form of dental inserts. ...
Arsenate adsorption on waste eggshell modified by goethite, alpha-MnO2 and goethite/alpha-MnO2
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
An efficient adsorbents for arsenate removal was developed by modification of calcined eggshell with goethite (calcined eggshell/goethite; sorbent 1), alpha-MnO2 (calcined eggshell/alpha-MnO2; sorbent 2) and hybride system ...
Mathematical modeling of silver release from antimicrobial nanocomposite Ag/alginate microbeads

Controlled enzymatic hydrolysis for improved exploitation of the antioxidant potential of wheat gluten
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
The aim of the study was to find the optimal operational and process parameters for the enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat gluten in a batch stirred bioreactor regarding both degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant capacity of the ...
Effect of acid treatment on red mud properties with implications on Ni(II) sorption and stability
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
Red mud, a heterogeneous mineral waste from aluminum industry, can be beneficially utilized as a sorbent. High alkalinity and the amount of water soluble ions can limit some of its applications. This study's aim was to ...
Molecular weight distribution and functional group profiles of TEMPO-oxidized lyocell fibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The effects of TEMPO-mediated oxidation, performed with NaClO, a catalytic amount of NaBr, and 2,2',6,6'-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO), were studied on lyocell fibers by means of GPC using multiple detection ...
Effect of austempering temperature on cavitation behaviour of unalloyed ADI material
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2013)
This paper provides an in-depth study and description of cavitation damage and microstructural changes in two types of unalloyed austempered ductile iron (ADI). ADI materials used were austempered at 300 and 400 degrees C ...
Equilibrium and kinetics study on hexavalent chromium adsorption onto diethylene triamine grafted glycidyl methacrylate based copolymers
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2012)
Two porous and one non-porous crosslinked poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [abbreviated PGME] were prepared by suspension copolymerization and functionalized with diethylene triamine [abbreviated ...
