Use of chènevotte, a valuable co-product of industrial hemp fiber, as adsorbent for copper ions: Kinetic studies and modeling
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
In this study, a series of hemp shives (chènevotte) with different chemical compositions and properties, namely a raw (SHI-R), a washed with water (SHI-W), three samples chemically modified with KOH (SHI-OH), Na2CO3 (SHI-C) ...
Transesterification of used cooking sunflower oil catalyzed by hazelnut shell ash
(Renewable Energy, 2022)
Hazelnut shell ash was investigated as a new base catalyst for the transesterification of used cooking sunflower oil to biodiesel. To understand its catalytic properties, the prepared ash was characterized by EDX, XRD, ...
Dispersive Solid–Liquid Microextraction Based on the Poly(HDDA)/Graphene Sorbent Followed by ICP-MS for the Determination of Rare Earth Elements in Coal Fly Ash Leachate
(MDPI, 2022)
A dispersive solid-phase microextraction (DSPME) sorbent consisting of poly(1,6-hexanedi-ol diacrylate)-based polymer microspheres, with embedded graphene microparticles (poly(HDDA)/g-raphene), was synthesized by microfluidic ...
Valorization of lignocellulosic wastes for extracellular enzyme production by novel Basidiomycetes: screening, hydrolysis, and bioethanol production
(Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, 2022)
This study aimed at the exploitation of lignocellulosic wastes for the evaluation of the newly isolated white-rot fungal strains enzymatic potential for bioethanol production. The isolates belonging to Basidiomycetes, Fomes ...
Free volume theory and extended mixing rule implementation for estimation of liquid viscosity of flue gas desulphurization candidate solvents
(Journal of Molecular LiquidsJournal of Molecular Liquids, 2022)
The free volume theory model was used to estimate viscosity of eight pure substances and their twenty-three binary mixtures. The selected viscosity data included compounds such as alcohol, ether, lactam, amine and polymer, ...

Materials sensitive to external stimuli are recognized as safe and effective tool able to respond to specific demands in the therapy of various diseases. Thermo sensitive hydrogels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) ...
Determination of Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Composite Materials Reinforced with Silicate Nanofillers Using Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
(MDPI, 2022)
In this study, silicate nanofillers; dicalcium silicate, magnesium silicate, tricalcium silicate, and wollastonite; were synthesized using four different methods and incorporated into the epoxy resin to improve its mechanical ...
Vitamin B Complex and Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis—Attenuation of the Clinical Signs and Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis
(MDPI, 2022)
The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of the vitamin B complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12—VBC), by studying the changes in the femoral nerve, quadriceps muscle, popliteal lymph nodes and gut ...
Coriolus versicolor Mushroom Grown on Selenium-Rich Zeolitic Tuff as a Potential Novel Food Supplement
(University of Zagreb, 2022)
Research background. In the recent years, considerable attention has been given to selenium status since its deficiency is linked with various disorders and affects at least 13 % of world population. Additionally, mushrooms ...
Challenges in determining the electrochemically active surface area of Ni-oxides in the oxygen evolution reaction
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Thin films of Ni-oxy-hydroxides of different composition and thickness were electrochemically grown on Ni foil electrode: hydrated α-phase, anhydrous β-phase, and two mixed α- and β-phase electrodeposited by potential ...
