Occupational exposure to nano-TiO2 in the life cycle steps of new depollutant mortars used in construction
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
The present work is focused on the measurement of workers exposure to nano-TiO2 in the life cycle steps of depollutant mortars. It has been done in the framework of the SCAFFOLD project, which aims at the management of ...
Analysis of multivariate stochastic signals sampled by on-line particle analyzers: Application to the quantitative assessment of occupational exposure to NOAA in multisource industrial scenarios (MSIS)
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
In multisource industrial scenarios (MSIS) coexist NOAA generating activities with other productive sources of airborne particles, such as parallel processes of manufacturing or electrical and diesel machinery. A distinctive ...
Tailoring Mechanical Properties of Rigid Polyurethane Foams by Sorbitol and Corn Derived Biopolyol Mixtures
(ACS, 2015-10-28)
Sorbitol arises to be a strong candidate for renewably sourced polyol synthesis. Moreover, processes for extracting sorbitol directly from cellulosic materials are effective, and materials such as agroforestry residues ...
Depolymerization of different organosolv lignins in supercritical methanol, ethanol and acetone to produce phenolic monomers
(ACS, 2015-12-18)
Olive tree pruning was delignified by organosolv processes (acetosolv, formosolv and acetosolv/formosolv) to extract different lignins. The obtained lignins (acetosolv lignin (AL), formosolv lignin (FL) and acetosolv/formosolv ...
Lignin oxidation and depolymerisation in ionic liquids
(RSC, 2015-09)
The depolymerisation of lignin directly in the black liquor was studied, comparing two ionic liquids as extracting solvents (butylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate and triethylammonium hydrogen sulphate), under oxidising ...
Kraft lignin as filler in PLA to improve ductility and thermal properties
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
[EN] Kraft lignin (KL) and acetylated Kraft lignin (AKL) were used as filler for the elaboration of composites
with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 20%) by extrusion method at
200 ...
Thermally-responsive biopolyurethanes from a biobased diisocyanate
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
In this work, segmented biopolyurethanes with thermally-activated shape-memory properties were synthesized and characterized. All the employed starting materials were derived from renewable sources. The macrodiol, which ...
Selective placement of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles into the lamellar nanostructure of PS-b-PMMA diblock copolymer
(Elsevier, 2015-04-27)
The aim of this work is to obtain a good and selective dispersion of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles into the lamellar morphology of PS-b-PMMA diblock copolymer. The addition of unmodified nanoparticles inhibited the formation ...
Simultaneous catalytic de-polymerization and hydrodeoxygenation of lignin in water/formic acid media with Rh/Al2O3, Ru/Al2O3 and Pd/Al2O3 as bifunctional catalysts
(Elsevier, 2015-04-28)
[EN] The catalytic solvolysis of 3 lignins of different sources in a formic acid/water media using bifunctional Ru/Al2O3, Rh/Al2O3, Pd/Al2O3 catalysts was explored in a batch set-up at different temperatures and reaction ...
Study of the influence of reutilization ionic liquid on lignin extraction
(Elsevier, 2015-04-09)
The development of green techniques for biomass processing and fractionation is crucial from the point of view of sustainability and environmental protection. Lignin is the second most abundant bio-renewable material on ...
