An average value for the surface energy (γ-S) of palygorskite was determined from experimental data of spreading pressure, the surface tension of water and its contact angle using a formula based on the combination of the ...

Clays are natural materials that have great potential for use as excipients for solid dosage forms. Palygorskite is a type of clay that has hydrophilic properties as well as a large surface area, which could contribute to ...

The food industry has invested cheap and efficient technologies capable of providing fresh and additive-free food products. One of the possible solutions is the use of antimicrobial active packaging that ensures the ...

The wet oxidation of organic compounds with CO2 and H2O has been demonstrated to be an efficient technique for effluent treatment. This work focuses on the synthesis, characterization and catalytic performance of Fe-MnO2/CeO2, ...
