The Front Cover shows a coarse solid residue particle, originating from the gasification of biomass, which acts as catalyst to produce high-value chemicals, such olefins, mixtures H2, CO, and CO2. heart developed material are nanoparticles, consisting iron carbides metal, together with some alkali elements, sodium potassium. latter elements act promotors boost production light olefins. This app...

Our objective was to describe the process of alkali disposal in rats. Balance studies were performed while incremental loads of alkali were given to rats fed a low-alkali diet or their usual alkaline ash diet. Control groups received equimolar NaCl or KCl. Virtually all of the alkali was eliminated within 24 h when the dose exceeded 750 micromol. The most sensitive response to alkali input was ...

physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. the results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. the highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

Alkali-enriched diets are recommended for humans to diminish the net acid load of their usual diet. In contrast, herbivores have to deal with a high dietary alkali impact on acid-base balance. Here we explore the role of nutritional alkali in experimentally induced chronic metabolic acidosis. Data were collected from healthy male adult rabbits kept in metabolism cages to obtain 24-h urine and a...

Healing of corneal alkali injuries remains a severe clinical challenge. The authors evaluated the effect of a new synthetic inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (GM6001 or N-[2(R)-2-(hydroxamido carbonylmethyl)-4-methylpentanoyl]-L-tryptophane methylamide) on preventing ulceration of rabbit corneas after alkali injury. Topical treatment of corneas with severe alkali injuries with 400 microgra...

Efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction requires developing catalysts with high selectivities and activities, which is simultaneously difficult to achieve. Here, we present a new approach tune the activity based on host-guest chemistry enabled by an iron porphyrin cage catalyst. The design allows hosting of alkali metals in side walls causing change electrostatic potential inside cavity. Densi...

Although ethanol dry reforming is an attractive carbon utilization technology, problems of severe coke formation and low catalytic activity should be solved for realization the technology. We demonstrate effects alkali metal additives (lithium, sodium, potassium) on nickel catalyzed reforming. Potassium doped catalyst (Ni/K2O-Al2O3) showed enhanced durability in Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)...

• Waste cooking oil was considered as feedstock for biodiesel production. Kinetic data were derived from actual WCO samples avoiding model components. Aluminum chloride hexahydrate is a promizing catalyst the esterification step. Reactive distillation with alkali used transesterification. In this work, novel method proposed conversion of waste into biodiesel. A two-step approach based on pretre...

Soil salt-alkalization is a major limiting factor for crop production in many regions. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season C4 perennial rhizomatous bunchgrass and a target lignocellulosic biofuel species. The objective of this study was to evaluate relative alkali-salt tolerance among 30 switchgrass lines. Tillers of each switchgrass line were transplanted into pots filled with f...
