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 ...
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 ...
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) policy innovation in petrochemicals river barge transportation
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The aim of this paper was to emphasise the need for a volatile organic compounds VOC policy review in the field of river barge transportation of petrochemicals. Review of the VOC policy shows that barges neither fall under ...
Influence of annealing temperature on the baking response and corrosion properties of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg alloy with 0.54 wt% Cu
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The effect of different thermo-mechanical processing parameters on the baking response, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg-0.54 wt% Cu alloy was investigated. It has been shown that the high ...
Biomimic hybrid polymer networks based on casein and poly(methacrylic acid). Case study: Ni2+ removal
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2016)
Mimicking the extraordinary performances of natural materials presents an attractive, but challenging approach in the synthesis of advanced functional materials. In the field of separation techniques, the design of a ...
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 ...
Application of whey protein and whey protein hydrolysate as protein based carrier for probiotic starter culture
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The main object of study is application of whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) for probiotic encapsulation. The controlled enzymatic hydrolysis was applied to change technological properties ...
Poly(methacrylic acid) based hydrogels as sorbents for removal of cationic dye basic yellow 28: Kinetics, equilibrium study and image analysis
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
Poly(methacrylic acid) based hydrogels with neutralization degree of monomer of 0% (PMAA/0) and 80% (PMAA/80) were synthesized and their sorption potentials toward model cationic dye, basic yellow 28 (BY28), from aqueous ...
Development of material with strong antimicrobial activity by high pressure CO2 impregnation of polyamide nanofibers with thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This study discusses the potential of high pressure (supercritical and liquid) CO2 impregnation to load electrospun polyamide nanofibers with thymol as an antimicrobial agent. The influence of selected pressures and ...
Lactic acid production on molasses enriched potato stillage by Lactobacillus paracasei immobilized onto agro-industrial waste supports
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
In this study, the production of lactic acid (LA) on sugar beet molasses enriched potato stillage by immobilized Lactobacillus paracasei NRRL B-4564 was examined. Three agro-industrial materials, such as sunflower seed ...
