An exergy composite curves approach for the design of optimum multi-pressure organic Rankine cycle processes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
This work adopts the (ECCs) under bar (exergy composite curves) approach to explore the potential for ORC (organic Rankine cycle) process improvements. The method is used to explore different ORC configurations supported ...
A Novel Method to Mitigate the Top-of-the-Line Corrosion in Wet Gas Pipelines by Corrosion Inhibitor within a Foam Matrix
(Natl Assoc Corrosion Eng, Houston, 2013)
Top-of-the-line corrosion (TLC) has been a serious issue for the oil and gas industry. Conventional inhibition techniques are expensive and often do not seem to provide enough protection to the steel surface at the top of ...
The first 1000 cultured species of the human gastrointestinal microbiota
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2014)
The microorganisms that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract comprise a complex ecosystem with functions that significantly contribute to our systemic metabolism and have an impact on health and disease. In line with ...
Synthesis of core-shell hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoplates: Quantitative analysis of the particle structure and shape, high coercivity and low cytotoxicity
(Applied Surface Science, 2017)
Hematite core-shell nanoparticles with plate-like morphology were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal synthesis. An XRPD analysis indicates that the sample consist of single-phase α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. SEM and TEM ...
The influence of citrate anion on Ni(II) removal by raw red mud from aluminum industry
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
The removal of Ni(II) from aqueous solutions by raw red mud powder was studied in the absence and in the presence of citrate ligand, as a function of process parameters. Using lower initial Ni(II) concentration (10(-3) ...
Effects of the concentrated NH4NO3 solution on mechanical properties and structure of the fly ash based geopolymers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The geopolymers based on fly ash were exposed to the concentrated (6 M) NH4NO3 solution for 540 days. The highest compressive strength decrease occurred in the initial 28 days testing period. Study of the effects of the ...
Potentials and status of biogas as energy source in the Republic of Serbia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Biogas is a sustainable and renewable energy source that can provide green energy, a better environment and new jobs. The aim of this paper is to present potentials for biogas production in the Republic of Serbia from ...
Transient thermal response of textile fabrics made of natural and regenerated cellulose fibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The thermal parameters that describe the transient response of cellulose textile fabrics due to the changes in physiological and environmental conditions were analyzed. Starting from the specific heat of the knitted fabrics ...
Immunomodulatory effects of carbon nanotubes functionalized with a Toll-like receptor 7 agonist on human dendritic cells
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The protocols for the preparation of dendritic cells (DCs) as cancer vaccines based on stimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are very promising. In this study we covalently attached 7-thia-8-oxoguanosine (7-TOG), a ...
SBA-15 templated mesoporous carbons for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid removal
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
The ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 was synthesized and used as a template for obtaining mesoporous carbon replicas. Adsorptive removal of pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from aqueous solutions onto two ...
