The aim of this study has been to develop processing techniques for novel bioresorbable thermoplastic cellular composites, reinforced with continuous inorganic fibres, for use as biodegradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. As the implanted composi ...
Brazil Government is promoting palm plantations to use degraded land for biofuels. Palm production is expected to increase 35 per cent in future and there would be profuse biomass available that needs to be handled efficiently. Therefore, in this study the ...
A new procedure for benchmarking analysis has been developed to evaluate the energy efficiency of a chemical process. Benchmarking is performed to identify process inefficiencies before developing energy enhancement measures. The new procedure combines typ ...
There is a broad range of techniques available to the engineer and that should be considered in a retrofit project to enhance the energy efficiency of an operating process. The two best known techniques and most often utilized are internal heat recovery by ...
The pulp and paper (P&P) industry in industrially mature countries is facing a long-term crisis. Large and modern manufacturing facilities in tropical regions emerge as new competitors. The constant increase of energy costs has also contributed to the fina ...
Reducing energy consumption in the pulp and paper industry can lead to considerable cost savings. The three main points to consider when implementing an energy efficiency program in a mill are the reduction of the energy requirement, the energy recovery an ...
