Thermoacoustic inductor for heavy oil extraction

Olive Oil as Inductor of Microbial Lipase

Increasing interest in lipases has been observed at the end of the last century, due to their potential application, in (bio)degradation as well as in (bio)synthesis of glycerides. The advantages of the enzymatic hydrolysis over the chemical process consist of less energy requirements and higher quality of the obtained products. Beside this, lipases are also efficient in various reactions such ...

A New Emulsion Liquid Membrane Based on a Palm Oil for the Extraction of Heavy Metals

The extraction efficiency of hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), from water has been investigated using a vegetable oil based emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) technique. The main purpose of this study was to create a novel ELM formulation by choosing a more environmentally friendly and non-toxic diluent such as palm oil. The membrane phase so formulated includes the mobile carrier tri-n-octylmethylammon...

ANN-Based Spiral Inductor Parameter Extraction and Layout Re-Design

A neural network approach is presented for modeling and characterization of on-chip copper spiral inductors. The approach involves the creation of neural network models to map 3D multi-level spiral inductor geometric characteristics to SPICE equivalent circuit parameters. The neural network replaces computationally expensive FEM-based extraction and field solution. The approach is especially at...
