Biodiesel production by methanolysis of waste lard from piglet roasting over quicklime
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Waste lard from piglet roasting and quicklime (basically CaO) as a priceless fatty feedstock and a cheap solid catalyst, respectively were tested for the biodiesel production by methanolysis in a batch stirred reactor at ...
Highly ordered macroporous gamma-alumina prepared by a modified sol-gel method with a PMMA microsphere template for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The adsorption performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) gamma-alumina was investigated for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal. The synthesis was based on a modified sol-gel method using a colloidal ...
Application of cellulose acetate for controlled release of thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Cellulose acetate (CA) was investigated as a carrier towards development of material with controlled release of thymol as a natural substance with strong antibacterial properties using high pressure techniques. Effect of ...
Production of enzymes by a newly isolated Bacillus sp TMF-1 in solid state fermentation on agricultural by-products: The evaluation of substrate pretreatment methods
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Study on potential of different agro-industrial waste residues for supporting the growth of newly isolated Bacillus sp. TMF-1 strain under solid-state fermentation (SSF) was conducted aiming to produce several industrially ...
Comparative life cycle assessment of Ni-based catalyst synthesis processes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Ni-based catalysts supported on ceramics are particularly suitable for industrial applications, for instance reforming of hydrocarbons to produce synthesis gas or hydrogen and production of carbon nanofibers. Conventional ...
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) policy innovation in petrochemicals river barge transportation
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The aim of this paper was to emphasise the need for a volatile organic compounds VOC policy review in the field of river barge transportation of petrochemicals. Review of the VOC policy shows that barges neither fall under ...
Influence of annealing temperature on the baking response and corrosion properties of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg alloy with 0.54 wt% Cu
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The effect of different thermo-mechanical processing parameters on the baking response, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg-0.54 wt% Cu alloy was investigated. It has been shown that the high ...
Trends in Encapsulation Technologies for Delivery of Food Bioactive Compounds
(Springer, New York, 2015)
The food industry expects increasingly complex properties (such as delayed release, stability, thermal protection, and suitable sensorial profile) from food ingredients, which often would not be able to be achieved without ...
Biological activity of electrochemically synthesized silver doped polyvinyl alcohol/graphene composite hydrogel discs for biomedical applications
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol), Ag/PVA, and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene, Ag/PVA/Gr, composite hydrogel discs were produced by freezing/thawing, followed by electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions inside respective matrices, ...
Obtaining jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties and "closing the loop" of their lifecycle
(Industrial Crops and Products, 2021)
The objective of this investigation was to obtain jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties (by using simple and cost-effective alkali and oxidative modifications) and a long life cycle. The applied alkali modifications ...
