A major challenge in the production of pellets is the high cost associated with drying biomass from 30 to 10% (w.b.) moisture content. At Idaho National Laboratory, a high-moisture pelleting process was developed to reduce the drying cost. In this process the biomass pellets are produced at higher feedstock moisture contents than conventional methods, and the high moisture pellets produced are ...

In recent years, the interest in melt granulation has increased due to the advantages of this technique respect to traditional wet granulation; utilizable equipments for melt granulation are high-shear mixer and fluidised bed [1]. The aim of the study was to evaluate, by asymmetrical factorial design [2], the contribution of some variables on the in situ melt granulation process performed in fl...

the photocatalytic coatings were prepared via incorporating the modified titania nanoparticles into epoxy-based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings. titania nanoparticles were first synthesized from tetra-n-butyl titanate using sol-gel methods by two different calcination treatments, i.e., in mild condition (80°c) and 500°c. the formed anatase nanoparticles were further modified as titania-silica...

Coccidioides immitis cytosol contains a specific estrogen binder with kinetic characteristics (Kd = 2.1 X 10(-8) to 3.7 X 10(-8) M; n = 0.5 to 1.56 pmol/mg of protein) appropriate for interaction with levels of estrogen encountered during pregnancy. The Kd of a separate androgen binder (ca. 10(-7) M) is probably too low to allow interaction with physiological levels of testosterone.

In this critical review, binders for electrochemical supercapacitors are introduced and current technologies on the preparation of binders are reviewed in detail. Different types of materials for binder preparation are reviewed by comparing their advantages, disadvantages, and performance with active materials in ES electrodes. Several new trends for the future development of binder preparation...

Starchgelatin binary binder mixtures were applied in the formulation of sodium salicylate tablets. Locally developed cassava starch (tapioca starch) was used as a co-binder with gelatin. Wet granulation method was used to formulate different batches of sodium salicylate tablets with varying binder concentrations (1-5%w/w) and starch – gelatin binder ratios (25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 0:100). The s...

Powder bed binder jet printing (BJP) is an additive manufacturing method in which powder is deposited layer-by-layer and selectively joined in each layer with binder. The data presented here relates to the characterization of the as-received feedstock powder, BJP processing parameters, sample preparation and sintering profile ("Effect of solutionizing and aging on the microstructure and mechani...

The manufacture of highly drug-loaded fine globular granules eventually applied for orally disintegrating tablets has been investigated using a unique multi-functional rotor processor with acetaminophen, which was used as a model drug substance. Experimental design and statistical analysis were used to evaluate potential relationships between three key operating parameters (i.e., the binder flo...

Nitrogen removal is needed in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for the treatment of most waste streams. Current designs couple biological denitrification with side-stream or combined nitrification sustained by upstream or direct aeration, which negates some of the energy-saving benefits of MFC technology. To achieve simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, without extra energy input for aerat...
