Release Kinetic Models of Vanillin and Physicomechanical Properties of Thermoplastic Starch and Chitosan Nanocomposite Films: Effects of Mixing Order
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-02-20)
The effects of mixing sequence of starch–chitosan nanocomposite films on antimicrobial properties of vanillin, the release kinetics of vanillin, and physicomechanical changes of films have been reported. Four types of films ...
Alternative tanning technologies and their suitability in curbing environmental pollution from the leather industry: A comprehensive review.
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020-04-18)
Chrome tanning remains the most favourite technology in the leather industry worldwide due to its ability to produce leather with attributes desirable for high-quality leather such as excellent hydrothermal stability, ...
Photocatalytic degradation of azo dyes in textile wastewater by Polyaniline composite catalyst-a review
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-09)
Azo dyes in industrial textile and dye effluent (5–30%) have become irresistibly recalcitrant and toxic to both treatments and the environment respectively. Global concerns about the persistent nature of these dyes and the ...
Investigation of functional performance of treatment systems for textile wastewater in selected textile industries in Tanzania
(IWA Publishing, 2023-02-01)
Textile industrialization is an integral part of the economic growth in Tanzania. However, the corresponding wastewater from textile treat ment processes consists of dyes and auxiliaries associated with acute toxicological ...
Chitosan-coated liposomes of Carrisa spinarum extract: synthesis, analysis and anti-pneumococcal potency
(ICE Publishing, 2023-02-16)
In the present study, a chitosan (CS)-coated liposome (LipCsP-Chitosan) nanocarrier was fabricated for the delivery of Carissa spinarum (CsP) polyphenols to improve bioavailability and anti-pneumococcal potential against ...
In-situ synthesis of calcium/magnesium phosphate system for water de-fluoridation: Clay ceramic materials
(Elsevier, 2022-02-15)
Clay ceramic water filters impregnated with silver colloids have been used to purify water in many parts of East Africa disregarding the removal of fluoride, which is a health-threatening ion in water supplies. This paper ...
