Effect of Deposition Current Density and Annealing Temperature on the Microstructure, Hardness and Magnetic Properties of Nanostructured Nickel-Iron-Tungsten Alloys
(Electrochemical Soc Inc, Pennington, 2014)
Nanostructured nickel-iron-tungsten alloy coatings were electrodeposited from an ammonia citrate bath on steel and copper substrates at current densities in the range of 50 to 300 mA cm(-2). The contents of iron and tungsten ...
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 ...
The effect of trace elements on wheat straw degradation by Trametes gibbosa
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The aim of the study was comparative analysis of ligninolytic enzyme productions of Trametes gibbosa and its ability to degrade wheat straw, as well as effect of trace elements on those processes. Mn-oxidizing peroxidases ...
Antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of Ag--(+) and Cu2+ -doped biphasic hydroxyapatite/alpha-tricalcium phosphate obtained from hydrothermally synthesized Ag+- and Cu2+ -doped hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders doped with Ag+ or Cu2+ were synthesized by a hydrothermal method in order to obtain biomaterial with an antimicrobial effect. The synthesis was performed with two contents of dopant (Ag+ or ...
Visible light-harvesting of TiO2 nanotubes array by pulsed laser deposited CdS
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes arrays, obtained by anodization technique and annealing, were decorated with CdS using pulsed laser deposition method. Their structural, morphological and chemical characterization was ...
Immobilization of lipase on epoxy-activated Purolite((R)) A109 and its post-immobilization stabilization
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this study, Purolite (R) A109, polystyrenic macroporous resin, was used as immobilization support due to its good mechanical properties and high particle diameter (400 mu m), which enables efficient application in enzyme ...
Purification technologies for crude biodiesel obtained by alkali-catalyzed transesterification
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
For commercial application, the ester product of alkali-catalyzed transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fats should be refined after glycerol separation by settling to fulfill the biodiesel standard specifications. ...
Arsenate adsorption on waste eggshell modified by goethite, alpha-MnO2 and goethite/alpha-MnO2
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
An efficient adsorbents for arsenate removal was developed by modification of calcined eggshell with goethite (calcined eggshell/goethite; sorbent 1), alpha-MnO2 (calcined eggshell/alpha-MnO2; sorbent 2) and hybride system ...
The dependence of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites on the modification of the carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Nanostructural TiO2/modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes photocatalysts were prepared by hydrolysis of Ti(iso-OC3H7)(4) providing chemical bonding of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles onto oxidized- or amino-functionalized ...
Mathematical modeling of silver release from antimicrobial nanocomposite Ag/alginate microbeads
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2014)
