Photodegradation of an azo pyridone dye using TiO2 films prepared by the spray pyrolysis method
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
In this study, the feasibility of preparing porous TiO2 films on a stainless steel substrate from a hydrothermally prepared colloidal TiO2 solution by the spray pyrolysis technique is presented. The prepared samples were ...
Antibacterial activity of heavy metal-loaded natural zeolite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2012)
The antibacterial activity of natural zeolitized tuffs containing 2.60 wt.% Cu2+, 1.47 Zn2+ or 0.52 Ni2+ were tested. Antibacterial activities of the zeolites against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were tested ...
Fabrication and antibacterial properties of ZnO-alginate nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
Alginate was used as a controlled environment for the growth of ZnO nanoparticles. The formation of nanostructured particles was confirmed by a blue shift in the onset of the optical absorption with respect to bulk ZnO. ...
On the role of working fluid properties in Organic Rankine Cycle performance
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The performance of ORC systems strongly depends on working fluid properties. We explore the relationships between working fluid properties and ORC common economic and thermodynamic performance criteria from a theoretical ...
Novel kinetic model of the removal of divalent heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by natural clinoptilolite
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions using zeolites is widely described by pseudo-second order kinetics although this model may not be valid under all conditions. In this work, we have extended approaches ...
Functionalization of cotton with poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel. Part I. Stimuli-responsive moisture management properties
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
Stimuli-responsive microgel, based on synthetic polymer (poly-NiPAAm) and biopolymer (chitosan), was incorporated onto cotton fabric surface by pad-dry-cure method using 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) as ...
Functionalization of cotton with poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel: Part II. Stimuli-responsive liquid management properties
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
An innovative strategy for functional finishing of cotton involves application of stimuli-responsive surface modifying system based on temperature- and pH-responsive poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel. The stimuli-responsiveness ...
One-step, inexpensive high yield strategy for Candida antarctica lipase A isolation using hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
Lipase A from Candida antarctica (CAL A) was purified to apparent homogeneity in a single step using hydroxyapatite (HAP) chromatography. CAL A bound to HAP was eluted with 10 mM Na-phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 containing 0.5% ...
Viscoelastic properties and antimicrobial activity of cellulose fiber sheets impregnated with Ag nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
A silver nanoparticle colloid was prepared by a modified Tollens method using D-glucose as the reduction agent. The obtained nanoparticles were used for the modification of pine, linter and recycled cellulose fibers. ...
Targeting and design of industrial zone waste heat reuse for combined heat and power generation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The basic materials industry contributes significantly to global energy demand. The efficient utilization of energy in these industries is essential to sustainable development. In numerous emerging countries, such industrial ...
