Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), is considered an aquatic pest. An alternative to solve the excess water hyacinth problem is to use the biomass for second generation ethanol. This process can be divided into: collection ...

The chemical characterization of the food waste allowed to discriminate between the pre-preparation and post-preparation residues from a restaurant. Carbohydrate-rich or lignin-rich waste can be identified and a better use ...

Education and outreach are long term strategic tools for the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) that actively promote the peaceful use of chemistry. Thousands of new chemicals are reported every day; ...

Wastewater control at storage terminals of liquid chemical products in bulk is very difficult because of the variety of products handled in the facilities generating effluents of variable composition. The main objective ...

In the present work, we propose a method for the determination of nitrite based on the chemical generation of nitric oxide (NO) and its detection by high-resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry. NO ...

This chapter is organized according to classes of silicon-containing compounds that give rise to silyl-centered radicals through photolytic methods, then reviewing their reactivity, their spectroscopic data, and their ...

Describes a systematic methodology based on artificial neural networks for model identification and its application to the prediction of water chemical properties under normal operation conditions in a power plant. The ...

Natural fibers are very abundant, especially those derived from water plant as water hyacinth. The water hyacinth, which is rich in cellulosic fiber content, has a great ability to adapt itself to harsh conditions and at ...
