Kinetic analysis of the non-isothermal degradation of three different plant fibers has been performed using isoconversional model-free methods, model-fitting methods in order to establish if different kinetic approaches ...

In this work, the adsorption-desorption kinetic in the framework of the lattice gas model is analyzed. The transition probabilities are written as an expansion of the occupation configurations. Due to that, the detail ...

The effect of sulfide toxicity on kinetic parameters of anaerobic organic matter removal in a UASB (up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket) reactor is presented. Two lab-scale UASB reactors (10.5 L) were operated continuously ...

This paper deals with the modeling of wealth distribution considering a society with non-constant population and non-conservative wealth trades. The modeling approach is based on the kinetic theory of active particles, ...

The influence of osmotic pretreatment on nectarines with solutions of glucose syrup and sorbitol and subsequent dehydration at different temperatures (60°C, 70°C, or 80°C) was evaluated. The kinetics of moisture loss during ...

This study investigated the foam mat drying process parameters (temperature and concentration of foaming agents, albumin, and an emulsifier blend) and evaluated their effects on drying kinetics, color, carotenoid retention, ...

This study investigated thermal intermittence in apple drying, conducted in two stages, and its effect on energy consumption, drying kinetics, color and chlorogenic acid retention. The energy consumption was measured using ...

A mathematical model able to predict solid and drying gas temperature and moisture content axial profiles along a direct contact rotary dryer was developed. The study was focused on the drying kinetics based on phenomenological ...
