The influence of dose rate, i.e., ion flux, on ion beam mixing in Nb-Si bilayer samples was measured at room temperature and 325 °C. At the higher temperature, an increase in dose rate of a factor of 20 caused a decrease in the thickness of the mixed layer by a factor of 1.6 for equal total doses. At room temperature, the same change in flux had no effect on mixing. These results are consistent...

Organic solvents are constantly present in the pharmaceutical production processes. They are usually used at any step of the synthesis pathway during the drug product formulation process. Organic solvents play an important role in the pharmaceutical industry, and appropriate selection of the solvents for the synthesis of drug substance may enhance the yield, or determine characteristics such as...

This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in deep eutectic solvents: New green solvents”, was organized to collect original research articles on the latest developments new solvents, solvents (DESs), and their applications [...]

The increasing amount of residual waste presents several opportunities to use biomass as a renewable energy source. Agricultural is raw material with high ash content, which can be problem in any form conversion. To obtain better quality biofuel, excess mineral matter must removed. Demineralization simple mixing and washing various liquids reduce content. Water, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid n...

In this paper, we study the role of degree mixing in the naming game. It is found that consensus can be accelerated on disassortative networks. We provide a qualitative explanation of this phenomenon based on clusters statistics. Compared with assortative mixing, disassortative mixing can promote the merging of different clusters, thus resulting in a shorter convergence time. Other quantities, ...

This paper reports the application of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDES) as an environmentally friendly alternative for liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) Allura Red AC and Tartrazine in food products spectrophotometric determination these analytes. The HDES used this work were prepared by mixing octanoic acid (OctAc) or decanoic (DecAc) tetrabutylammonium bromide (N4444-Br) a molar rat...

The production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by Bacillus megaterium using industrial residues, crude glycerol from biodiesel synthesis and rice hull hydrolysate (RHH), as low-cost carbon sources was investigated. experiments were conducted shaking flasks at 30 °C 180 rpm up to 72 h. extraction PHA carried out sodium hypochlorite make its recovery more environmentally friendly avoiding organic...
