The Effect of Nanofibrillated Tempo-oxidized Cotton Linters on the Strength and Optical Properties of Paper
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
This study elaborates the application of composite films based on nanofibrillated cellulose obtained from cotton linters oxidized in the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO system, with the use ...
Steroid-based tracing of sewage-sourced pollution of river water and wastewater treatment efficiency: Dissolved and suspended water phase distribution
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
In this work, the environmental distribution of steroid compounds and the level of sewage-derived contamination were assessed using sterol ratios in the confluence area of two major rivers in the Serbian capital, where raw ...
Biodegradable and active zein-gelatin-based electrospun mats and solvent-cast films incorporating sage extract: Formulation and comparative characterization
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
This study aimed to develop active, biodegradable materials for food packaging by incorporating sage extract (SE) within a zein-gelatin blend by electrospinning and solvent casting. The fabrication techniques, SE incorporation, ...
Removal of trivalent chromium from aqueous solutions by natural clays: Valorization of saturated adsorbents as raw materials in ceramic manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2023)
Kaolinite/illite (KUb) and sepiolite (SEP) clays were used to study Cr(III) adsorption removal from aqueous solutions so that they could be utilized after saturation for ceramic manufacturing. SEP had a larger specific ...
Cysteine and cerium as green corrosion inhibitors for AA7049: Mixture vs. complexation
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
In this work new green corrosion inhibitors based on the synthesized cerium-cysteine complex on AA7049 aluminum alloy were analyzed and compared to the mixture of CeCl3 and cysteine in 0.1 M NaCl. The complex structures ...
Alkali-activated geopolymerization of a low illitic raw clay and waste brick mixture. An alternative to traditional ceramics
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
Geopolymerization was investigated as an alternative to traditional ceramic products by developing a more sustainable approach that avoids thermal treatment. The study presents the first known alkali-activation of the raw ...
Effect of mechanical activation on carbothermal synthesis and densification of ZrC
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Zirconium carbide ceramics were prepared by carbothermal reduction of ZrO2 and C that were mixed by high-energy ball milling. Powders were milled for times from 0 to 120 min in air. As milling time increased, the surface ...
Effect of homogenization temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si alloy containing low-melting point elements
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
To evaluate the effect of homogenization conditions on the possible loss of low-melting-point Pb and Bi to the surface in the free-cutting AA6026 alloy, three homogenization regimes were applied: 480 degrees C/12 h, 530 ...
Goat milk proteins enriched with Agaricus blazei Murrill ss. Heinem extracts: Electrophoretic, FTIR, DLS and microstructure characterization
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
This study aimed to characterize mixtures of goat milk proteins and Agaricus blazei Murrill (ABM) extracts (aqueous, AE and polysaccharides, PE). The mixtures showed stable particles with ζ-potential more negative than ...
Co(II) impregnated Al(III)-pillared montmorillonite–Synthesis, characterization and catalytic properties in Oxone® activation for dye degradation
(Elsevier, 2019)
Aluminum pillared clay was synthesized and impregnated with Co2+ (CoAP), using incipient wetness impregnation method. The obtained CoAP was characterized by chemical analysis, XRPD, SEM with EDS, XPS and low temperature ...
