Biotransformation of coffee pulp using filamentous fungi
(2012)
Efforts devoted to the efficient use of agro-industrial residues have increased, especially if the use contributes to solve pollution problems. Coffee pulp/husk is the main byproduct generated during coffee wet processing. ...
Selective nanoporous sorbents for gas based separations: Ion exchanged silicoaluminophosphates and titanosilicates
(2009-05)
Two specific sorbents were targeted in this research work: silicoaluminosphosphates (SAPOs) and titanium silicates. For the former, Na+ -SAPO-34 sorbents were ionexchanged with several cations (Ag+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ti3+, ...
Sonolysis of pharmaceutical and personal care products as an advanced oxidation process for the remediation treatment of wastewater effluents
(2007)
Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) are a diverse group of chemicals, also known as xenobiotics, treated like potential environmental pollutants. Recently, PPCPs have been detected in trace amounts in surface ...
Nanostructured bimetallic copper-gallium catalysts for the production of methanol from carbon dioxide
(2018-12-12)
The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is an alternative to mitigate the problems caused by global warming. Industrially, methanol is produced by hydrogenation of CO2/CO over heterogeneous catalyst Cu/ZnO/Al2O3. ...
Kinetic, intracellular ATP growth and maintenance studies, and modeling of metabolically engineered Zymomonas mobilis fermenting glucose and xylose mixtures
(2006)
Intracellular adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP) levels were measured in a metabolically engineered Zymomonas mobilis strain 8b over the course of batch fermentations of glucose and xylose mixtures. Recombinant Z. mobilis, a ...
Characterization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell and PEM electrolyzer using non-steady electrochemical techniques.
(2004)
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) and PEM Electrolyzer were
characterized using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Faradaic resistance
(RΩ), kinetic and mass transfer parameters such as charge ...
Polymeric nanocarriers for the enhancement of enzyme replacement therapy in lysosomal storage diseases: A proof of concept study
(2016)
Lysosomal Storage Diseases (LSDs) are a group of inheritable genetic diseases caused by mutant lysosomal enzymes, leading to the accumulation of undigested macromolecules in the lysosomes and causing increases in lysosome ...
Effect of initial formulation conditions, process parameters and equipment design on wet granulation
(2020-07-24)
Ease of administration and handling are some of the reasons to keep solid oral dosage forms as the presentation of predilection for today’s medicines. Today, pharmaceutical companies are looking for more efficient processes ...
Immobilization of myoglobin from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb1) from Lucina pectinata in hydrophilic polymer networks for H2S biosensor application
(2005)
Hemeproteins are known for their spectroscopic properties which change during
the binding of specific ligands. This project envisioned the immobilization of myoglobin
from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin I from ...
Cost analysis of local bioproducts processing plant using microalgae biomass feedstock
(2012)
The need to produce bioproducts useful for the human wealth derived from microalgae, such as proteins, lipid and carbohydrates is gaining importance in recent years. In spite of the broad availability of technologies for ...
