El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo el estudio de la reducción biológica de sulfatos. La realización técnica es dirigida por la empresa AYESA (Agua y Estructuras, S.A.), y forma parte del “Programa de Investigación ...

In this work, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and chitosan (CS) nanoparticles were synthesized with the purpose of encapsulating levofloxacin (LEV). A thorough study has been carried out in order to optimize the ...

Drying kinetics of olive stone and olive-tree pruning, two important biomasses from olive culture, was experimentally assessed at six different temperatures (from 343 K to 393 K) and four sample thicknesses (from 15 to ...

The present work attempts to clarify the influence of montmorillonite nanoclay content and pH on the me-chanical properties of extruded soy protein nanocomposites. The mechanical behaviour is dominated by theformation of ...

Nano-colloidal suspensions of nanomaterials in a fluid, nanofluids, are appealing because of their interesting properties related to heat transfer processes. While nanomaterials based on transition metal chalcogenides ...

Crayfish protein obtained from a renewable, available, and low-cost raw material, may be regarded as an excellent alternative for the development of innovative food products on the basis of its nutritional value and ...

The effect of the hydraulic retention time and the sulphate-total COD ratio on the performance of an anaerobic biological process applied to acid mine drainage water (AMD) was evaluated using cheese whey as a carbon source. ...

Double emulsions are a type of multiple emulsions, which can be defined as a multicompartmentalized system where the droplets are dispersed into the continuous phase containing other emulsions. Although double food-grade ...
