Preparation and characterization of novel P(HEA/IA) hydrogels for Cd2+ ion removal from aqueous solution
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
Series of novel hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and itaconic acid (IA), P(HEA/IA) copolymers, were prepared by free radical cross-linking copolymerization and investigated as potential adsorbents for Cd2+ ...
Evaluation and improvement of antioxidant and antibacterial activities of supercritical extracts from clove buds
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2013)
For the first time, extracts from clove buds obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction were screened for antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Additionally, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of extracts ...
The antimicrobial efficiency of silver activated sorbents
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study is focused on the surface modifications of the materials that are used for antimicrobial water treatment. Sorbents of different origin were activated by Ag+-ions. The selection of the most appropriate materials ...
Sonophotocatalytic degradation of dye CI Acid Orange 7 by TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles immobilized on corona pretreated polypropylene non-woven fabric
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study discusses the possibility of using corona pre-treated polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric as a support for immobilization of colloidal TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles in order to remove dye C.I. Acid Orange 7 from ...
Simple One-Pot Synthesis of Fully Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resins Based on Itaconic Acid
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
For the preparation of fully biobased unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), the replacement of styrene with alternate nonpetroleum-based monomers turned out to be one of the most challenging tasks. Its complexity lies in ...
Novel modified nanocellulose applicable as reinforcement in high-performance nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The influence of modification and vacuum/supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) drying methods on the surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystals (NC) was presented in this study. Introduction of ...
Ultrasonic assisted arsenate adsorption on solvothermally synthesized calcite modified by goethite, alpha-MnO2 and goethite/alpha-MnO2
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
A highly porous calcium carbonate (calcite; sorbent 1) was used as a support for modification with alpha-FeOOH (calcite/goethite; sorbent 2), alpha-MnO2 (calcite/alpha-MnO2; sorbent 3) and alpha-FeOOH/alpha-MnO2 ...
Organic Rankine Cycle system performance targeting and design for multiple heat sources with simultaneous working fluid selection
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This work presents a systematic approach toward the design of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) for the generation of power from multiple heat sources available at different temperature levels. The design problem is approached ...
Continuous biodiesel production under subcritical condition of methanol - Design of pilot plant and packed bed reactor with MnCO3/Na-silicate catalyst
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The continuous biodiesel production from soybean oil was carried out under the subcritical condition of methanol with MnCO3/Na-silicate as a heterogeneous catalyst. The transesterification rate was first investigated in a ...
European consensus conference on faecal microbiota transplantation in clinical practice
(Bmj Publishing Group, London, 2017)
Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an important therapeutic option for Clostridium difficile infection. Promising findings suggest that FMT may play a role also in the management of other disorders associated with ...
