Towards antimicrobial yet bioactive Cu-alginate hydrogels
(IOP Publishing Ltd, Bristol, 2016)
The simplest approach to enhance alginate hydrogel characteristics and functional properties is to replace the calcium in the process of alginate gelation with other metallic ions which are essential for living systems. ...
Removal of Anthraquinone Dye by Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates From Fresh Horseradish Extract
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
Horseradish roots (Armoracia rusticana) fresh extract was the source of unpurified horseradish peroxidase (HRP) which was used for the immobilization in a form of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). Among three ...
Biofuel cell based on horseradish peroxidase immobilized on copper sulfide as anode for decolorization of anthraquinone AV109 dye
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
The potential application of electrochemically formed copper sulfide as horseradish peroxidase mediator in the enzymatic biofuel cell and anthraquinone AV109 dye as a fuel is investigated. The open circuit voltage of 0.52 ...
Visible-light active mesoporous, nanocrystalline N,S-doped and co-doped titania photocatalysts synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Visible-light active mesoporous N,S-doped and co-doped anatase TiO2 powders were synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route, starting from TiCl4 and Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)(4) dissolved in cyclohexane or dimethyl sulfoxide, later ...
Improved beta-amylase production on molasses and sugar beet pulp by a novel strain Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2016)
Molasses and sugar beet pulp, by-products in sugar industry, are produced in large amounts annually which create disposal problems. High sugar content in sugar beet molasses enables its use for fermentations while sugar ...
CdS quantum dots sensitized TiO2 nanotubes by matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Within this study a matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation technique was employed for deposition of CdS quantum dots onto TiO2 nanotubes. The number of laser pulses and laser fluence were varied to control the amount of ...
Ultrasound Pretreatment as an Useful Tool to Enhance Egg White Protein Hydrolysis: Kinetics, Reaction Model, and Thermodinamics
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
The impact of ultrasound waves generated by probe-type sonicator and ultrasound cleaning bath on egg white protein susceptibility to hydrolysis by alcalase compared to both thermal pretreatment and conventional enzymatic ...
Substrate preheating and structural properties of power plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of substrate preheating on the structural properties of hydroxyapatite coatings (HACs) deposited by using the high power (52 kW) laminar plasma jet. The deposition ...
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 ...
Physico-chemical and mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposites obtained by electrochemical method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol) and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposites in different forms (colloid dispersion, thin films and hydrogel discs) were synthesized by electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions at constant ...
