Because of the booming wine industry in some seismic countries such as the US, Chile and Argentina, seismic protection of wine storage systems is of practical importance. In this study, the dynamic response of thin-walled ...

Electrochemical tests are well-established techniques used in corrosion studies, with the development of microcells and microcapillaries enabling localized evaluation of specific microregions of a welded joint. Until now, ...

Frequently stainless steel AISI 316L aseptic tanks have their passivity and corrosion resistance properties degraded by biofilm formation and localized corrosion processes. Thereby, maintenance projects are performed to ...

Recently, the use of alternative vessels to oak barrels during winemaking has become increasingly popular, but little is known about their impact on the chemical composition of the resulting wines. To address this issue, ...

In this study the corrosion behavior and physic and chemical properties of pure soy methyl biodiesel (b100), B5 blend and Diesel S-500 fuel were monitored in carbon steel storage horizontal tanks with a capacity of 25 ...

The use of biodiesel in vehicles can significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels and help to reduce environmental pollution. However, there are concerns about the compatibility of automotive materials in contact with ...

Pectin obtained from cocoa husks has recently been investigated because of its gelling and stabilizing properties that have great potential for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. However, its production at ...
