Waste animal fats as feedstocks for biodiesel production
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Biodiesel, an alternate and ecologically acceptable substitute for the conventional fuel, is usually produced from a wide range of edible vegetable oils, which are normally used for human consumption and whose prices are ...
In situ synthesis of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the TEMPO oxidized cotton fabrics
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
In situ synthesis of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the cotton fabric discussed in this study relies on adsorption of Cu2+-ions by carboxylate groups generated through the TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cellulose and their subsequent ...
Nanomechanical and anti-stabbing properties of Kolon fabric composites reinforced with hybrid nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study carbon nanotubes (CNT) and silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were added to enhance the dynamic mechanical and anti-stabbing properties of the polyurethaneip-aramid multiaxial fabric (Kolon fabric) composites for ...
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 ...
Lignin degradation by selected fungal species
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
As biological decomposition of plant biomass represents a popular alternative environmental-friendly and economically justified process, screening of ligninolytic enzyme systems of various fungal species is a topical study ...
Process and techno-economic analysis of green diesel production from waste vegetable oil and the comparison with ester type biodiesel production
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Like ester type biodiesel fuel, green diesel is a next generation transportation fuel emerging due to the need for a renewable replacement of internal combustion engine fuel, which is also fully compatible with existing ...
Visible-light active mesoporous, nanocrystalline N,S-doped and co-doped titania photocatalysts synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Visible-light active mesoporous N,S-doped and co-doped anatase TiO2 powders were synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route, starting from TiCl4 and Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)(4) dissolved in cyclohexane or dimethyl sulfoxide, later ...
CdS quantum dots sensitized TiO2 nanotubes by matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Within this study a matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation technique was employed for deposition of CdS quantum dots onto TiO2 nanotubes. The number of laser pulses and laser fluence were varied to control the amount of ...
Bioactive hydroxyapatite/graphene composite coating and its corrosion stability in simulated body fluid
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The hydroxyapatite/graphene (HAP/Gr) composite was electrodeposited on Ti using the electrophoretic deposition process to obtain uniform bioactive coating with improved mechanical strength and favorable corrosion stability ...
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+ ...
