Semisolid Metal Processing Techniques for Nondendritic Feedstock Production

Semisolid Metal Processing Techniques for Nondendritic Feedstock Production

Semisolid metal (SSM) processing or thixoforming is widely known as a technology that involves the formation of metal alloys between solidus and liquidus temperatures. For the procedure to operate successfully, the microstructure of the starting material must consist of solid near-globular grains surrounded by a liquid matrix and a wide solidus-to-liquidus transition area. Currently, this proce...

Semisolid metal processing

application of shearing during solidification to produce a non-dendritic semisolid slurry that can be Semisolid metal (SSM) processing is a relatively transferred directly into a mould or die to give a final new technology for metal forming. Different from product. Thixoforming is used to describe the near the conventional metal forming technologies which use either solid metals (solid state ne...

Waste Paper - Promissing Feedstock for Bioethanol Production

Modern approach to utilization of non-edible biomass is its conversion to glucose, and the following fermentation of the sugar into final bioproducts. Among various biomass types, the waste of office paper is distinguished by increased content of cellulose and negligible content of lignin; therefore it can be a suitable feedstock for bioconversion into valuable bioproduct, e.g. ethanol. An adva...

Re-design of Downstream Processing Techniques for Nanoparticulate Bioproducts

There has been much interest generated in the recovery of nanoparticulate (nanoparticle) bioproducts(Second generation of biotechnological products) such as plasmid DNA and viruses as putative gene therapyvectors, macromolecular assemblies as drug delivery vehicles and virus-like particles as vaccine components.Such product must be manufactured in advanced stages of purity, ma...
