Sophorolipids Production from Oil Cake by Solid-State Fermentation. Inventory for Economic and Environmental Assessment

Biosurfactants are being proposed as a substitute for surfactants in the framework of a circular economy strategy. Sophorolipids (SL) are a type of biosurfactant produced by yeast that can be produced through submerged or solid-state fermen...

Investigating the Design of ssPalmO-Derived Lipid Nanoparticles for mRNA Delivery Applications Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Preparation of Solid Superacid SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 and Its Action on Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Urea and Methanol

SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 catalyst was prepared by sulfating ZnO-TiO2 powders with H2SO4 solution. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, IR and Hammett indicator. The catalyst showed strong acidity(H0 ≦-16.0). The optimum conditions are found that th...

Synthesis and Characterization of Four Random copolymers Containing Fluorene as Electron Donors and Benzotriazole, Benzothiadiazole, Pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine as Electron Acceptors

Four copolymers, poly(fluorene-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine) (PFPP), poly(benzotriazole-fluorene-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine) (PBTFPP), poly(benzotriazole-fluorene-benzothiadiazole) (PBTFBD), poly(benzothiadiazole-fluorene-benzothiadiazole) (PBDFBD)were...

Leaching and recycling of NdFeB permanent magnets using ionic non-toxic hydrotropes instead of extractants

We show hereby that recycling of NdFeB permanent magnets by selective leaching and precipitation is possible, using an electrolyte as hydrotrope, thus avoiding the need of any specific extractant molecules. We analyse the yield of the extra...

The Effect of Time on the Activation of Bayah Natural Zeolite for Application of Palm Oil Shell Pyrolysis

Oil palm shell (OPS) constitutes 60% of the waste generated during the processing of palm oil. However, OPS can potentially be converted into energy and chemicals through pyrolysis. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyse the ...

Controlling Frost Propagation on Polymeric Surfaces Using SI‐ATRP Chemical Micropatterning

Abstract Micropatterned surfaces with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are relevant for a wide range of applications from fuel cells to water harvesting systems. The preferential nucleation of water on hydrophilic regions can also b...

Modelling the adsorption of iron and manganese by activated carbon from teak and shea charcoal for continuous low flow

Nearly 6494 boreholes with iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) concentrations above permissible limits of 0.3 mg/L and 0.4 mg/L respectively in Ghana have been abandoned because of ineffective water treatment solutions. Activated carbon prepared f...

Deflection and bending moment dynamic load allowance of runway bridges: Theoretical and numerical studies

Runway bridges offer a practical structural solution for airport construction in terrain-constrained areas. However, their dynamic behavior under aircraft landing loads remains insufficiently studied, and design-oriented theoretical guidanc...

Numerical Simulation of Cooling Plate Using K-Epsilon Turbulence Model to Cool Down Large-Sized Graphite/LiFePO₄ Battery at High C-Rates

In this paper, an analogous study of the velocity and temperature profiles inside microchannel cooling plates (with hydraulic diameter of 6 mm), placed on a large pouch-type LiFePO4 battery, is presented using both the laboratory and simula...

Visionary figures in the field of electrochemistry who revolutionized voltammetry

Understanding energetics and electron behavior has been pivotal in elucidating numerous fundamental phenomena, including electricity, corrosion, respiration, energy generation in biological systems, intermolecular interactions within living...

Palladium-Catalyzed Stereoselective Construction of 1,3-Stereocenters Displaying Axial and Central Chirality via Asymmetric Alkylations

The concurrent construction of 1,3-stereocenters remains a challenge. Herein, we report the development of stereoselective union of a point chiral center with allenyl axial chirality in 1,3-position by Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allenylic alky...
