Iso- and Anisotropic Etching of Micro Nanofibrillated Cellulose Films by Sequential Oxygen and Nitrogen Gas Plasma Exposure for Tunable Wettability on Crystalline and Amorphous Regions
(Materials, 2021)
The surface of cellulose films, obtained from micro nanofibrillated cellulose produced with different enzymatic pretreatment digestion times of refined pulp, was exposed to gas plasma, resulting in a range of surface ...
Pulsed electric field treatment of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, bacteria with probiotic potential
(Lwt-Food Science and Technology, 2021)
Lactic acid bacteria play an important role in functional food and fermentation products for human and animal nutrition, as probiotics, paraprobiotics, postbiotics or high-lactic acid-producing strains in biorefineries. ...
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 ...
Global market trends of tantalum and recycling methods from Waste Tantalum Capacitors: A review
(Sustainable Materials and Technologies, 2021)
The rapid digitalization of the world, technological up-gradation, and shorten life cycle of electronic gadgets leading to the generation of an enormous amount of waste tantalum capacitors (WTCs) rich in tantalum every ...
Volumetric and thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures of p-cymene with alpha-pinene, limonene and citral at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 323.15 K
(Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2021)
An experimental analysis of density, refractive index, speed of sound and the viscosity at atmospheric pressure and temperatures T = (288.15 to 323.15) K has been carried out for the three binary systems, i.e. (p-cymene + ...
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 ...
Tetragonal CoMn2O4 nanocrystals on electrospun carbon fibers as high-performance battery-type supercapacitor electrode materials
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
We herein report a simple two-step procedure for fabricating tetragonal CoMn2O4 spinel nanocrystals on carbon fibers. The battery-type behavior of these composite fibers arises from the redox activity of CoMn2O4 in an ...
Hydrothermal carbonization of spent mushroom substrate: Physicochemical characterization, combustion behavior, kinetic and thermodynamic study
(Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis, 2021)
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) was employed for the conversion of the spent mushroom substrate (SMS) into a carbonaceous hydrochar. The effect of operating temperature (180, 200, 220, 240, and 260 ?C) on the physicochemical, ...
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 ...
