Effects of Extraction Process Conditions on Semi Refined Carrageenan Produced by using Spray Dryer

Analysis of the Effective Parameters on Potato Powder Quality Produced by a Spray Dryer

Investigating the Treatment of Oil and Gas Produced Water Using a Spray Dryer on a Bench Scale

The current work investigates the performance of a single-stage, bench-scale system using a spray dryer to treat produced water. The produced water is generated in three large reservoirs of Ahvaz, Maroon, and Mansouri fields, which have different compositions but the same high total dissolved solids (TDS) and total organic carbon (TOC). The results of this study indicate that the newly develope...

A Corrosion Study of Grain-Refined 304L Stainless Steels Produced by the Martensitic Process

AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensitic process. Corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5M HCl solution using open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. Also, the correlation between the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was as...

Fabrication of hydrophobic drug nanoparticles using a microfluidic spray dryer

We present a technique for fabricating hydrophobic drug nanoparticles using a microfluidic spray dryer. The nanoparticles are formed by evaporative precipitation of the spray in air at room temperature. Using danazol as a model drug, amorphous nanoparticles are yielded with narrow size distribution, 20-60 nm in diameter. As the device geometry allows us to inject two separate solvent streams, t...

Calpain inhibitor nanocrystals prepared using Nano Spray Dryer B-90

The Nano Spray Dryer B-90 offers a new, simple, and alternative approach for the production of drug nanocrystals. Among attractive drugs, calpain inhibitor that inhibits programmed cell death 'apoptosis' is a candidate for curing apoptosis-mediated intractable diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In this study, the preparation of calpain inhibitor nanocrystals using Nan...
