Sustainable non-woven sorbents based on jute post-industrial waste for cleaning of oil spills
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Intensified oil exploitation accompanied with frequent oil spills having a detrimental impact on ecosystems are seeking efficient, environmentally and economically feasible solutions. In an attempt to develop an efficient, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Extending waste paper, cellulose and filler use beyond recycling by entering the circular economy creating cellulose-CaCO3 composites reconstituted from ionic liquid
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2022)
Cellulose-fibre lifecycle is severely limited within today’s recycling methodology. Feedstock cellulose and filler abound in products considered uneconomic, unsuitable for standard deinking or too weak for original product ...
Enriching alginate matrix used for probiotic encapsulation with whey protein concentrate or its trypsin-derived hydrolysate: Impact on antioxidant capacity and stability of fermented whey-based beverages
(Food Chemistry, 2022)
The present research is part of an effort to create whey-based functional food. Previously, it was concluded that proteins and peptides in an encapsulation matrix contribute to mechanical properties of beads, fermentative ...
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 ...
Comprehensive Analysis of Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Properties of Morus nigra L.
(MDPI, 2023)
The framework of this study was a comprehensive investigation of Morus nigra L. extracts, with the aim to establish the correlation between chemical composition and antioxidant/hepatoprotective activity of a series of black ...
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 ...
Investigation of seasonal variations and multiple fuel options in a novel tri-generation CSP integrated hybrid energy process
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
This work presents a novel Mixed-Integer Non-linear Program (MINLP) that accounts for the presence of multiple fuels in tri-generation systems. The key novelty of this work pertains to the use of hybrid energy systems in ...
