Tomato-Processing By-Product Combustion: Thermal and Kinetic Analyses

Kinetic and structural analyses of hepatitis C virus polyprotein processing.

Recombinant vaccinia viruses were used to study the processing of hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural polyprotein precursor. HCV-specific proteins and cleavage products were identified by size and by immunoprecipitation with region-specific antisera. A polyprotein beginning with 20 amino acids derived from the carboxy terminus of NS2 and ending with the NS5B stop codon (amino acids 1007 to 30...

Kinetic analysis of the thermal processing of silica and organosilica.

The incorporation of an organic group into sol-gel-derived silica causes significant changes in the structure and properties of these materials. Therefore, the thermal treatment of organosilica materials may require a different approach. In the present paper, kinetic parameters (activation energy, pre-exponential constant, and reaction models) have been determined from mass loss data for the de...

Kinetic Model of Coal Combustion

Processing of hydroxyapatite obtained by combustion synthesis

One of the reasons of implants failure are the stress forces appearing in the material–tissue interface due to the differences between their mechanical properties. For this reason, similar mechanical properties to the surrounding tissue are desirable. The synthesis of hydroxyapatite by solution combustion method and its processing have been studied in order to obtain fully dense ceramic bodies ...

Kinetic Modeling of Biomass Gasification and Combustion

This review critically examines char conversion kinetics in oxidizing or reducing atmosphere. In kinetic analysis the devolatilization of biomass and the conversion of char are usually investigated by means of separate experiments, although some kinetic models are also available of biomass combustion. The large majority of the char conversion kinetics consists of a global reaction with activati...
