Valorization of a plant β-amylase: Immobilization and dataset on the kinetic process

The data presented in this article are related to the research article titled "Immobilization nd topochemical mechanism of a new β-amylase extracted from Pergularia tomentosa" (Lahmar et al., 2017) [1]. This article documented information on the determination of the molecular weight of the β-amylase, the method of its immobilization and a comparison of the kinetic mechanism between the free and...

Life cycle assessment of steel production from iron scrap: a case study at a steel plant

Background and Objective: The steel industry is the world's largest consumer of energy. A large amount of iron waste is produced annually, which its use in the steel industry can be economic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the environmental impacts of the steelmaking from iron scrap as a raw material using a life cycle assessment (LCA) method. Materials and Methods: Simapro softw...

Life cycle assessment and its application to process selection, design and optimisation

As the pressures on the chemical and process industries to improve their environmental performance are increasing, the need to move away from narrow system de®nitions and concepts in environmental system management is becoming more apparent. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is gaining wider acceptance as a method that enables quanti®cation of environmental interventions and evaluation of the improve...

New Concept in Leanness Development and Assessment in Plant Life Cycle (PLC)

Abstract: At the last decade of the 20th century, Womack et. Al introduced Lean concept to the industrial world. Since 1990 up to now, existed studies mostly have focused on lean production in the step of manufacturing, but in this research leanness concept has developed in the plant life cycle. In this paper leanness concept will be described as elimination of wastes in the phases of investmen...
