Effect of Regeneration Temperature onParticle Characteristics and Extent of Regeneration of Saturated SO2-Adsorption of CuO/γ-Al2O3 Adsorbent
Abstract The effect of regeneration temperature on characteristics and extent of desorption of saturatedCuO/γ-Al2O3 have been studied. Adsorbent CuO/γ-Al2O3(8%-Cu) was prepared using the dry impregnation method with Cu(NO3)2.3H2O solution on a...

Impact of foaming on surfactin production by Bacillus subtilis: implications on the development of integrated in situ foam fractionation removal systems
Abstract The impact of foaming on cell growth and surfactin production by Bacillus subtilis during a foam recovery process has been evaluated for the first time. First, a small-scale batch foaming approach was employed to assess whether fermentation ...
