Stability studies of ionic liquid [EMIm][NTf2] under short-term thermal exposure

Optimal Short-Term Coordination of Desalination, Hydro and Thermal Units

The fossil fuels consumption is rapidly growing due to increased water and electricity demands. An interconnected water-energy nexus is generally composed of thermal power plants, combined potable water and power (CWP) generation units, and desalination only processes. Hence, participation of hydro power plants in electricity generation facilities not only reduces the total fuel consumption of ...

Liquid Crystal Formation from Sunflower Oil: Long Term Stability Studies.

The Brazilian biodiversity offers a multiplicity of raw materials with great potential in cosmetics industry applications. Some vegetable oils and fatty esters increase skin hydration by occlusivity, keeping the skin hydrated and with a shiny appearance. Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) oil is widely employed in cosmetic emulsions in the form of soaps, creams, moisturizers and skin cleansers due...

Nanocomposites of Cellulose/Carbonated Hydroxyapatite by Microwave-assisted Fabrication in Ionic Liquid: Characterization and Thermal Stability

Unusually high thermal stability and peroxidase activity of cytochrome c in ionic liquid colloidal formulation.

Ionic liquid (IL) surfactant choline dioctylsulfosuccinate, [Cho][AOT], formed polydispersed vesicular structures in the IL, ethylmethylimidazolium ethylsulfate, [C2mim][C2OSO3]. Cytochrome c dissolved in such a colloidal medium has shown very high peroxidase activity (∼2 times to that in neat IL and ∼4 times to that in an aqueous buffer). Significantly, the enzyme retained both structural stab...

A Short-Term Voltage Stability Index and case studies

1  Abstract—The short-term voltage stability (SVS) problem in large-scale receiving-end power systems is serious due to the increasing load demand, the increasing use of electronically controlled loads and so on. Some serious blackouts are considered to be related to short-term voltage instability. In China, the East China Grid (ECG) is especially vulnerable to short-term voltage instability d...
