High concentrations of sulfide in (cumulative) tannery wastewater are the direct cause of very high toxicity of this effluent. Therefore it is necessary to remove this pollutant by the oxidation process. Hydrogen-peroxide is the oxidizing agent, which increasingly acts as an "environment friendly" due to multiple uses for purification, detoxificati...

Retention behavior of some N-(4-phenylsubstituted)-2,3-diphenylpropanamides was investigated on reversed phase thin layer chromatography (RP-C18). Retention constants of investigated compounds were determined in the following solvent systems: water-ethanol, watern-propanol and water-i-propanol. Linear relationships were obtained between retention, ...

Chemical inertness and physical properties like adequate gas barrier, transparency, light weight and good recyclability, have made poly(ethylene therephtalate) (PET) particularly suitable in food packaging applications, especially in beverages and drinking water. However, several studies have shown the presence of compounds not expected a priori in...

It is well known that the exposition to air and weather markedly enhances derogation of all artifacts. In this report, the contribution of light (particularly sunlight) to marked speed-up of the oxidation and other changes by exposition to atmosphere will be analyzed. Five major mechanisms of the effect of insolation can be identified: 1. First is ...

Non-conventional separation procedure - supercritical fluid CO2 extraction (SFE-CO2) conforms to the strict demands of the precise process eco-technologies. It represents a perspective method especially in obtaining eco-friendly extracts from vegetable and animal raw materials. The influence of operating parameters (raw material’ granula...

Traditional starters are used for different types of cheese, a mixed associations of microorganisms. The mixed starters contain more species and strains of bacteria isolated from traditional starters. Depending on the type of cheese are produced, they prevail mesophilous bacteria: Leuconostoc lactis ssp lactis and Leuconostoc lactis ssp cremoris, s...

Energy is now one of the most important components of development and functioning of the economy and society in general. The development of civilization use different energy sources – fossil fuels and other energy sources like wind and water that are used to drive windmills, water mills and boats. Many countries begin the rationalization of e...

This paper presents the results of the impact of basic additives in the process of heating (calcinations) of industrial aluminum hydroxide and the formation of the final stable phase α- Al2O3. The influence of additives have been focused on the result of the impact, ie. on the kinetics of crystallization of α-Al2O3, and the comparative ...
