The energy crisis caused by the incessant growth in global energy demand joint to its associated greenhouse emissions motivates the urgent need to control and mitigate atmospheric CO2 levels. Leveraging CO2 as carbon pool ...

The conformation and the dilatational properties of three non-ionic triblock PEO-PPO-PEO (where PEO is polyethyleneoxide and PPO is polypropyleneoxide) copolymers of different hydrophobicity and molecular weight were ...

The agro-food industry produces huge amounts of wastes and by-products with high levels of carbohydrates and proteins, basic food groups that, properly treated, can be employed for the development of bioplastics. These ...

Ferrous ion biooxidation is a process with many promising industrial applications: mainly regeneration of ferric ion as an oxidizing reagent in bioleaching processes and depuration of acid mine drainage. The flooded packedbed ...

In this paper, the purification of acid mine water and the treatment of electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) are integrated into one process with the aim of recovering the Zn content of both effluent and waste. Zinc recovery ...

An increase in resistance to key antibiotics has made the need for novel treatments for the gastric colonization of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) a matter of the utmost urgency. Recent studies tackling this topic have ...

The manufacture of eco-friendly bioplastic materials from renewable resources to replace petroleum-based plastics has attracted increasing attention. For many years, proteins, lipids and polysaccharides have been proposed ...

Oxygen is usually the limiting reagent in bio-leaching processes. For this reason, aeration is a key point to take into account when designing such processes, and the oxygen saturation concentration is an important variable ...

BACKGROUND: Cu is an indispensable natural resource for society, as its use is widespread and essential for many technologies. Consequently, worldwide production is around 18×106 tn year−1, and close to 25% is produced by ...

Se estudian las propiedades reológicas de una suspoemulsión comercial para uso agroquímico. Se comparan los resultados obtenidos mediante curvas de flujo y ensayos en cizalla oscilatoria de baja amplitud para cinco ...
