Abstract

The aim of this study was the investigation of non-destructive lipid extraction from Chlorella vulgaris grown under stress conditions of nutrient limitation and salinity. To select a suitable solvent for extraction, the performances of decane, dodecane and hexadecane were tested based on their effect on lipid extraction and cell viability. The results showed that dodecane was the most suitable solvent for the extraction process. The concentration of extracted lipids from stressed cells was 2762.52???11.38?mg L−1, i.e. a value 1.75 times higher than that obtained from unstressed cells. Long-term extraction was also evaluated with continuous dodecane recirculation during five-stage extraction and a recovery time of 24?h between the extracti

Abstract

The success of a dairy herd depends on milk production. Prediction of future records can reduce recording time, accelerate the computation of genetic evaluations, decrease generation interval, and increase genetic progress. Multiple linear regression (MLR) is the most common prediction method. However, artificial neural networks (ANN) can handle complex linear and non-linear functions to solve a wide range of prediction problems. In this study, MLR and ANN models were applied to the prediction of 305-day milk production in the first and second lactations of dairy cows using variables related to milk production, test-day records and estimated breeding values (EBVs). The 305-day first lactation records were also used to predict 305-day second

Abstract

Finding an eco-friendly process for the decolorization of distillery wastewaters is a major concern. This study shows that the Chlorella vulgaris CCAP 211/19 strain can be used for color removal and direct production of oleaginous biomass. A response surface method was used for determining optimal operating conditions, including the dilution factor of industrial wastewater. The highest daily light supply values were the most efficient for color removal. The analysis of the microalgae physiological status confirmed that these colored waters could have a photoprotective action. Moreover, the increase in photosystem 2 activities of C. vulgaris CCAP 211/19 strain after short-term incubations in the presence of a synthetic melanoidin confirmed t

Abstract

Herein, polyaniline (PANI) with tuning morphology was in-situ synthesized within bacterial cellulose (BC)/silver nanoparticles hydrogels (AgNPs) that were prepared by green hydrothermal reduction method in different molarity of 0.01 and 0.25 of HCl solution along with the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The synthesis of PANI in the presence of PEG in 0.01?M HCl led to the formation of rose-like morphology within nanocomposite aerogels with a size of 1.5–5.2?μm. All aerogels had the porosity and shrinkage of higher than 80% and lower than 10%, respectively. Rheology results showed a higher value of storage modulus (G′) than that of loss modulus (G″) for all samples over the whole frequency regime. It confirmed by the loss facto

Abstract

Given the great demand for biopolymer and protein-based products from renewable resources, synthesis of a keratin-based hydrogel is presented herein. In this work, a novel hydrogel of poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) and keratin was synthesized through facile EDC?HCl/HOBt chemistry. Since keratin main chain is rich in amino side groups, carboxyl groups in γ-PGA were crosslinked with multi terminated amine groups in keratin. In the following, the hydrogel characteristics, including swelling ratio (2010% at molar ratio of HOBt/EDC = 0.105), in vitro degradation and mass loss (about 20% at day 21 for the aforementioned sample), chemical decomposition and the rheological properties were investigated. The chemical activator agents, enhanced

Abstract

Sub-atmospheric vapor pipeline (SAVP) transfer is a new trend for water desalination that transports vapor from a warm area to a cold area, with many benefits. The theory, experiments, and field calcula- tions of SAVP transfer for seawater desalination have been studied. The theory of this study has been based on the transmission line and mass and energy balance of a compressible fluid. In the laboratory section, equipped with a heating and an evaporating system for saline water (three salinities levels), a transmission line (three diameters) with different temperatures of the warm and the cold sources were employed on vapor transfer experiments. In the field section, vapor transmission with 1, 2, and 4 m diameters were studied with

Abstract

In this paper, equilibrium thermodynamics of sub-atmospheric vapor pipeline (SAVP), that is, one of the seawater desalination methods is analyzed in theory and application in a natural field. SAVP occurs based on the temperature difference between a warm source and a cold environment. The energy consumption for this method is close to zero and has great potential for large-scale applications. However, for this method, there is no thermodynamic analysis and formulations including calculations of energies, entropy estimation, temperature profiles, and the most important issue, that is, determination of pressure drop (which is the main motivation of vapor transfer), in scientific sources. Fluid unknowns including T(x), P(x), V(x), and p(x) ar
