BACKGROUND: The isosteric heat of desorption is vital in evaluating the energy performance of food dryers. The isosteric heat of desorption was investigated for different cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) products prepared as flour or starch, with and without fermentation. An automated moisture sorption gravimetric analyser was used to measure the...

Commercial cementitious material, hydrated cement pastes of type CEM I and CEM III, and a synthetic cementitious phase CSH (calcium-silicate-hydrates) with a Ca/Si ratio equal to 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4 were used in the study of lead sorption. Kinetic and equilibrium experiments were performed under different conditions, namely liquid to solid phase rati...

Les je po poseku in uporabi za konstrukcije izpostavljen staranju, ki je med drugim odvisno od pogojev izpostavitve. V času življenjske dobe oz. uporabe je les izpostavljen fotodegradaciji, biodegradaciji, površinskim in notranjim strukturnim spremembam in staranju, ki se kaže v spremembi barve, kemijske sestave, higroskopnosti, dimenzijske stabiln...

Plastoviti dvojni hidroksidi (LDH, angl. layered double hydroxides) so raznoliki materiali z značilno plastovito strukturo. Zaradi delne zamenjave dvovalentnih kovinskih kationov s trivalentnimi so sestavljeni iz pozitivno nabitih plasti hidroksida, med plasti pa se za izenačitev naboja interkalirajo anioni. Tovrstna struktura tem materialom omogoč...

Interest in having a healthy and well-being environment has increased the awareness to improve indoor air quality (IAQ). Building materials influence the contribution of indoor air pollution, so understanding their behaviour on IAQ is essential. Among building materials, carpets cover surfaces of indoor environments and significantly impact IAQ due...

The interactions of heavy metals with minerals influence the mobility and bioavailability of toxic elements in natural aqueous environments. The sorption of heavy metals on covalently bonded minerals is generally well described by surface complexation models (SCMs). However, understanding sorption on sparingly soluble minerals is challenging becaus...

A comprehensive and updated review is provided in this article, with a focus on water sorption-based thermochemical storage (WSTCS) materials, covering materials and their manufacturing routes. The state of the art of 22 most relevant salt hydrates is classified into seven groups (bromides, sulphates, carbonates, chlorides, nitrates, hydroxides, an...

Pruned vine shoots prepared as toasted fragments (SEGs) have recently been proposed as enological additives capable of producing differentiated quality wines. In this work, the composition of phenolic and volatile compounds of SEGs, before and after contact with wines, has been studied. SEGs from Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon were used, which ...

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a solid waste generated from phosphate fertilisers industries. It represents a serious threat to the aquatic and terrestrial environment because of its acidity and its high content in heavy metals and radionuclides. The aim of this work is to describe the formation of PG during the synthesis of the phosphoric acid, the entrapm...

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) provides a fascinating chance to facilitate a sustainable water supply, which obtains considerable attention recently. However, ignoring the energy efficiency of AWH leads to high energy consumption in current prototypes (ca. 101 to 102 MJ kg-1 ), misfitting with the high-strung and complicated water-energy nexus....
