The removal of trace contaminants from wastewater by polybenzoxazine-based aerogel, a novel type of phenolic resin, was studied in batch experiments. The adsorption behavior of polybenzoxazine towards metals was also ...

Poly (3-thiopheneacetic acid) was synthesized and doped from an insulating state to a conducting state using perchloric acid. The electrical conductivity sensitivity towards ammonia is further improved by introducing Y ...

This study focused on the sustainable process design of a bioethanol conversion process using lignocellulosic biomass as a raw material for fuel ethanol (99.5 wt%) production. The process simulator, PRO/II 8.2, was used ...

Blends of a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) and a thermoplastic are generally immiscible. They are termed as 'in-situ composites', taking into account of the formation of LCP fibrils capable of reinforcing the resulting ...

An azo compound is a synthetic dye comprising one or more azo groups (-N = N-) linked between aromatic rings. The release of this coloring agent unavoidably causes wastewater treatment problems. Photocatalysis is an effective ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa SP4, isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil in Thailand, was used to produce a biosurfactant from a nutrient broth with palm oil as the carbon source. The biosurfactant extracted from the culture ...

Ultra-fine composite fibers made from (PVA)/silatrane and (PVA)/tin glycolate were prepared by a combined sol-gel and electrospinning technique. PVA/silatrane composites calcined at 500°C and ≥ 700°C were converted to ...

The hydrogen storage capacities of both undoped and doped Li-Al-H, Li-B-H, and Li-Al-B-H systems were studied through thermo-volumetric analysis. All samples were mixed by mechanical ball milling. The hydrogen desorption ...

The adsorptive desulfurization of simulated diesel fuel at DBT concentration of 150 ppm S was studied by using macro and mesoporous alumina (M-Al₂O₃, m-Al₂O₃) and activated carbon (AC) impregnated by Cu(II) and Ni(II), by ...

The aim of this research was to convert cellulose to glucose by using bacteria isolated from higher termites. Due to the cellulose structure comprising several units of cellulose fibrils with high crystallinity, a pretreatment ...
