background: every year millions of dollars are expended to equip and maintain the hospital sterilization centers, and our country is not an exception of this matter. according to this, it is important to use more effective technologies and methods in health system in order to reach more effectiveness and saving in costs. this study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the technology of regi...

This manuscript proposes an integrated system for treating hospital solid waste (H.S.W.) consisting of incineration and frictional sterilization capable operating during normal emergency situations. We analyzed the benefits integrating different treatment systems with existing stand-alone system, a particular emphasis on thermal friction integration system. The objective was to define economic ...

Sterilization is defined as any process that effectively kills or eliminates almost all microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms. There are many different sterilization methods depending on the purpose of the sterilization and the material that will be sterilized. The choice of the sterilization method alters depending on materials and devices for giving no harm. These steriliz...

Potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) is a multi-functional green reagent for water treatment with considerable combined effectiveness in oxidization, disinfection, coagulation, sterilization, adsorption, and deodorization, producing environment friendly Fe(III) end-products during the reactions. This study uses a simple method to lower Fe(VI) preparation cost by recycling iron from a spent steel pickling...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the optimal radiation dose and observe the influence of radiation sterilization on spirulina polypeptide powder. METHODS: The polypeptide powder of spirulina was sterilized using a 60Coγ ray. RESULTS: Radiation sterilization had significant effects on spirulina polypeptide powder, which was more effective with increasing radiation dose. Taking the sterilization rate and ...

Edible insects are gaining more and more attention as a sustainable source of animal protein for food and feed in the future. In Belgium, some insect products can be found on the market, and consumers are sourcing fresh insects from fishing stores or towards traditional markets to find exotic insects that are illegal and not sanitarily controlled. From this perspective, this study aims to chara...
