Melamine-Based Polymeric Crosslinker for Cleaner Leather Production

Floating faeces for a cleaner fish production

Recent developments in European recirculating aquaculture systems suggest expanding potential for this extremely water-efficient technique. However, the technology still faces challenges due to concerns over economic efficiency and system stability—both essential in minimizing the risk of financially and environmentally expensive failures. One key factor in maintaining stable production conditi...

Solid wastes generation in the leather industry and its utilization for cleaner environmentA review

Leather industry, one of the polluting industries because of generation of huge amount of liquid and solid wastes, also emits obnoxious smell because of degradation of proteinous material of skin and generation of gases such as NH3, H2S and CO2. Solid wastes are raw trimmings, fleshings, chrome shavings, buffing dusts and keratin wastes. Accumulation of these wastes lead to sludge problem and c...

Best Practices in Cleaner Production

“integrating Cleaner Production into Sustainability

Bacterial Cellulose biosynthesis is one of the most important applied biochemical processes in biology. In order to explain the detailed molecular events of bacterial cellulose biosynthesis, we discuss in this work, the different steps required for bacterial cellulose formation and crystallization from sugar cane and honey. The potential of organisms to produce biocellulose fibers was analyzed....

Self-Assembly of Hydrogen-Bonded Polymeric Rods Based on the Cyanuric Acid‚Melamine Lattice

This paper describes the self-assembly of hydrogen-bonded polymeric rods based on the lattice of cyanuric acid and melamine (CA‚M). Data from 1H NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are interpreted as indicating that the self-assembly of a bisisocyanuric acid (bisCA) and a bismelamine (bisM) formed polymeric nanorods ...
