D. Nowak, M. Stachowicz, K. Granat, M. Pigiel. Wroclaw University of Technology, Wroclaw, Poland The paper presents a semi-industrial reactor designed for microwave utilization of waste moulds and cores made of moulding sands prepared in furane resin technology. It was found that a possibility exists of eff ective incinerating this way prepared residues of cores separated from moulding sands or...

Table 1 Thermophilic moulds are a potential reservoir of thermozymes which find potential applications in various biotechnological processes (Singh , 2016; Singh, 2016; Maheshwari 2000; Johri 1999). Enzymes from thermophilic fungi often tolerate higher temperatures than enzymes from their mesophilic counterparts and some show stability even at 70-80°C (Singh 2016; Singh, 2016; Johri 1999). It h...

Traditional environmental mould analysis is based on microscopic observations and counting of mould structures collected from the air on a sticky surface or culturing of moulds on growth media for identification and quantification. These approaches have significant limitations. A DNA-based method of mould analysis called mould specific quantitative PCR (MSQPCR) was created for more than 100 mou...
