Influence of thermal treatment on phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties of oak acorns from Serbia
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
The aim of the present work was to investigate and compare phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of methanol extracts of Quercus robur and Quercus cerris acorn kernels obtained before and after thermal treatment. ...
Enzymatic conversion of sunflower oil to biodiesel in a solvent-free system: Process optimization and the immobilized system stability
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The feasibility of using the commercial immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozyme 435) to synthesize biodiesel from sunflower oil in a solvent-free system has been proved. Using methanol as an acyl acceptor and ...
A study of the photocatalytic degradation of metamitron in ZnO water suspensions
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
The photocatalytic degradation of the herbicide metamitron in water using ZnO under Osram ULTRA-VITALUX (R) lamp light was studied. The effect of the operational parameters such as initial concentration of catalyst, initial ...
Extraction of hyperforin and adhyperforin from St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) by supercritical carbon dioxide
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2008)
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) was extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) under 10, 15 and 20 MPa and at 313 and 323 K. The influence Of SC CO2 density (400-800 kg/m(3)) was examined with respect ...
Polyaniline as possible anode materials for the lead acid batteries
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2008)
Electrochemically formed thin film polyaniline (PANI) anode and lead dioxide (PbO2) cathode, obtained from sulfuric acid solution, for potential applications as electrode materials in PANI vertical bar H2SO4 vertical bar ...
Water plus esters plus methanol: experimental data, correlation and prediction of surface and interfacial tensions at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2004)
For the ternary system water + ethyl propionate + methanol, and the constituent binaries, the surface tension at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure was measured over the whole miscible composition range. The liquid interfacial ...
In situ stabilization of toxic metals in polluted soils using phosphates: theoretical prediction and experimental verification
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
The in situ (in place) immobilization of toxic metals, using inexpensive "reactive" amendments, is considered as a simple and cost-effective approach for the treatment of soils, contaminated by the presence of heavy metals, ...
Prediction for debonding damage process and effective elastic properties of glass-bead-filled modified polyphenylene oxide
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2006)
A three-dimensional three-phase finite element unit cell model has been applied to predict the debonding damage process of particulate polymer composites (PPC) during tensile deformation. The model consists of a particle, ...
Hydrodynamics of shallow fluidized bed of coarse particles
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2005)
The aim of the present study is experimental investigation of hydrodynamics of shallow fluidized bed of coarse particles. Air was fluidizing fluid. gamma-Al2O3 particles of 1 mm and 1.8 mm in diameter and density of 1080 ...
Kinetics of hexavalent chromium sorption on amino-functionalized macroporous glycidyl methacrylate copolymer
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
Two samples of macroporous crosslinked poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), poly(GMA-co-EGDMA), with different porosity parameters were synthesized by suspension copolymerization and functionalized ...
