The article provides a comparative evaluation of some organoleptic characteristics of low- and lactose-free milk samples produced on the basis of ultrafiltration concentrates of skim milk with different mass fraction of solids. Using the ranking method, it was found that the sample produced on the basis of UV concentrate with a mass fraction of sol...

A novel thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) process has been developed to produce a by-product rich in high-molecular weight (MW) hemicelluloses, a potential raw material for barrier coatings and films. This process uses prehydrolysis to solubilise the hemicelluloses followed by chip compression to separate the soluble material from the wood matrix. Th...

Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) is highly effective for malaria chemoprevention during pregnancy, but the standard dosing of DP that is used for nonpregnant adults may not be optimal for pregnant women. We previously reported that the pharmacokinetic exposure of total piperaquine (PQ; both bound and unbound to plasma proteins) is reduced signif...

Modified cellulose acetate membranes with bentonite clay (CA/bent) and TiO2 nanoparticles (CA/TiO2) using the phase inversion method are successfully prepared and characterized. These Membranes are favored due to their high salt rejection properties and recyclability. The IR and EDX spectral data indicate the formation of modified membranes. The Sc...

Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication of haemodialysis, but uncommon in peritoneal dialysis (PD). This may be due to lower ultrafiltration rates in PD compared to haemodialysis, allowing for sufficient refilling of the blood plasma compartment from the interstitial volume, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here we assessed pla...
Macroalgae are a promising feedstock for several industries due to their large content of proteins and carbohydrates and the high biomass productivities. A novel extraction and fractionation concept based on ionic liquids (ILs) using Ulva lactuca as model organism is presented. Biomolecules are first extracted by means of IL-assisted mechanical she...
The generation of water vapor is crucial for the petrochemical industry. In order to protect the boiler from damage, the re-injected water must not contain any suspended matter, especially hydrocarbons. Moreover, it is condensed steam with a temperature close to 100 °C and the unintentional creation or chronic generation of pollution, respectively,...

Membrane fouling remains a key challenge for membrane separations. Hydrophilic membrane surface modification can mitigate irreversible foulant deposition, thereby improving fouling resistance. We report new hydrophilic membrane coatings based on 1,4-benzoquinone and various commercially available polyetheramines. These coatings, prepared from 1,4-b...

The pulp industry is a high natural resources consumer and has a large polluting potential. The pulping sector with the most effluent generation is the bleaching plant. Based on the need of water consumption reduction, this research aimed to evaluate the treatment of the alkaline effluent from an EP-stage bleaching plant and the white water from dr...

Traditional technologies such as precipitation and coagulation have been adopted for fluoride-rich and silica-rich wastewater treatment, respectively, but waste solid generation and low wastewater processing efficiency are still the looming concern. Efficient resource recovery technologies for different wastewater treatments are scarce for environm...
