The Design of a System for the Induction Hardening of Steels Using Simulation Parameters
(MDPI, 2023)
This paper presents the development of a piece of induction hardening equipment based on the foundations of the design, starting from zero. It was intended for steels in general, and was tested on unalloyed low- and ...
Kinetic Model for Galacto-Oligosaccharide Synthesis
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
A new micro-kinetic model is proposed for galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) synthesis with β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae. Several kinetic models with similar reaction mechanisms, i.e., steps and kinetic constants, ...
Selection of processing parameters for the integrated supercritical CO2 extraction from green tea leaves and extract impregnation onto starch-chitosan based films
(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
The study aimed toward the development of biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric films (starch-chitosan and starch-chitosan-cyclodextrin) with biologically valuable green tea leaf extract using an environmentally friendly ...
Optimization of Enzymatic Desizing and Scouring of Cotton Fabric by Response Surface Methodology
(Publishing House of the Romanian Academy, 2023)
The study aimed to estimate the influence of temperature, time, and ultrasound application during desizing and scouring of cotton with α-amylase and pectinase, respectively, on the weight loss, breaking force and color ...
Exposure Factors in Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metal(loid)s in Soil and Sediment
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) play an important role in economic development since they are used in various branches of industry. However, all industrial activities emit HMs into the environment, where they are no longer useful ...
Black Pine (Pinus nigra) Essential Oil as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the essential oil of black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold) was used for the first time as a natural, ecological, and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for the acid cleaning of carbon steel. The essential oil ...
Eco‑friendly dyeing of polyamide and polyamide‑elastane knits with living bacterial cultures of two Streptomyces sp. strains
(Springer Science and Business Media, 2023)
Given the environmental burden of textile industry, especially of dyeing processes and the volume of synthetic dyes and surfactants, the intensive development of the greener approaches is under way. Herein, an environmen ...
Thermodynamics of microbial consortia: Enthalpies and Gibbs energies of microorganism live matter and macromolecules of E. coli, G. oxydans, P. fluorescens, S. thermophilus and P. chrysogenum
(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
Every microorganism represents a biothermodynamic system, characterized by an empirical formula and thermodynamic properties of biosynthesis. Gibbs energy of biosynthesis influences the multiplication rate of a microorganism. ...
High Pressure Densities and Derived Thermodynamic Properties of Pure (1R)-(+)-α-Pinene, (1S)-(−)-β-Pinene, and Linalool: Experiment and Modeling
(American Chemical Society, 2024)
Terpenes usually found in plants have a wide range of applications, especially as additives in various types of fuels, and most recently in the aviation industry, where they can be blended with jet fuels or kerosene. In ...
Revalorization of Cotton and Cotton/Elastane Knitted Fabric Waste
(Korean Fiber Society, 2023)
The present paper demonstrates a simple way for revalorization of differently softened cotton and cotton/elastane knitted fabric waste collected from the textile industry. Such waste was used as an adsorbent for Congo Red ...
