Laccases have received much attention from researchers in last decades due to their ability to oxidise both phenolic and non-phenolic lignin related compounds as well as highly recalcitrant environmental pollutants, which makes them very useful for their application to several biotechnological processes. Such applications include the detoxification of industrial effluents, mostly from the paper...

The scope of this research is concerned with the supply chain of light aromatic compounds, i.e., benzene, toluene, o-xylene and p-xylene, in he petrochemical industries. The proper production scheme of these compounds over a specified time horizon can be configured by selecting hroughput, operating conditions and technology options for each unit in the chain, by maintaining the desired inventor...

Petrochemical and Petroleum refining sector has become the backbone of the economical development. The costs of all the consumer goods are closely governed by cost of petroleum products. Diesel and petrol are two most widely used liquid fuels in the world. The cost of the fuel depends on the raw material. The optimization of the reaction carried out in these industries can save some cost and ad...

The presence of metals and metalloids in petrochemical products can infl uence the performance of engines, and contribute to shortening the lifetime of the machinery. In addition, some elements act as catalyst poison, contributing to increases in the amount of toxic gases and particulate matter emitted by vehicles. Silicon compounds such as siloxanes, for example, are added to diesel as anti-fo...

This article complements the substantial body of literature produced over the last three decades on the export of hazards from developed countries to developing countries. After reviewing the central arguments proposed by this literature, the authors add to the debate by focusing on the role of national actors in the importation of these hazards, based on the experience of late 1970s' developme...

Abstract Altai Krai is traditionally classified as a major industrial and agricultural regions of the country. The machine-building complex (production tractors, machinery, wagons, engines, boilers), chemical petrochemical industries (tires, artificial fibers, plastic products, products), food industry (meat, cheese making), light (manufacturing) are quite developed. fabrics, knitwear), mining ...

abstract to study the effects of sewage sludge on tomato seedling growth, a series of pot experiments, each pot containing 17 kg soil, were conducted in a randomized complete design with eight replications. treatments used were: 5 levels of sewage sludge (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 tons/ha) and two control treatments (t1, without sewage sludge and t2, sewage sludge + complete fertilizers). analysis o...

Zeolites remain one of the most important classes industrial catalysts used today, and with urgent drive for transition from petrochemical to renewable feedstocks, there is a renewed interest in developing new types zeolite. Recent synthetic advances field have included development assembly-disassembly-organisation-reassembly (ADOR) method. In this short review, we will discuss how solid-state ...
