Modeling the phase equilibrium of multicomponent systems involving solids, supercritical fluids, and consolvents
(2006)
Carbon dioxide is one of the most commonly used supercritical fluids. However, its uses
are limited due to its low solubility capacity for polar substances. Addition of cosolvents
improves the solubility of polar and ...
Evaluation and modulation of electrospun collagen nanofiber diameter
(2016)
Electrospinning is a process for generating ultrathin fibers from a polymeric fluid using an electric field. It is relatively easy to implement, but it is itself complex due to the many parameters that govern the formation ...
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 ...
Improving continuous manufacturing process reliability through feeding control system
(2018-12-12)
Continuous manufacturing processes are complex systems composed of multiple unit operations where process variables and material properties interaction allow the development of soft PAT sensors. Hence, this study was focused ...
An evaluation of optical band gap in photovoltaic polymers for solar energy capture
(2019-05-14)
Organic solar cells are a very promising technology for use in the renewable energy field. Band gap measurements on liquid phase for different polymers were studied, and the possible radiation harvest and reasoning for ...
Operational parameters optimization of cross-flow ceramic membrane ultrafiltration for water depyrogenation
(2004)
Water ultrafiltration has been suggested as an alternative for the removal of
lypopolysaccharides in the production of Water for Injection and, Pyrogen Reduced
Water. Ultrafiltration of water using an annular ceramic ...
Effect of impeller speed on particle size distribution during high shear wet granulation process
(2010)
Wet granulation is the process where powders are mixed with a binder agent which is agitated with a mixer and forms a granulated product. This process is commonly used to better the processing characteristics of a powdered ...
Thermogravimetric characterization of polystyrene-based, triblock copolymers: effects of sulfonation, counter-ion substitution, number average molecular weight, and polystyrene weight fraction
(2010)
In this study, poly (styrene-isobutylene-styrene) (SIBS) was characterized using thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal behavior of three types of SIBS, with different average number molecular weight, Mn , and polystyrene ...
