This study deals with the enhancement of chromium (VI) removal by vacuum drying and plasma pre-treatments of cocolumber (Cocos nucifera) sawdust. For fixed adsorbent dose and pH, the effects of important parameters such as initial adsorbate concentration and contact time are determined. Results show that both pre-treatments increased the adsorption efficiency of the sawdust. The adsorption data...

A Fick’s model that includes a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model to estimate the effective diffusivity was analyzed. The modelling of drying kinetics on mango trough this diffusional-fuzzy model was compared with the theoretical Fick’s model and the empirical Peleg and Weibull models. The identification and validation was performed from experimental drying curves of ripe mango slices (Mangifera indica ...

The purpose of this research was to develop fast dissolving tablets of olanzapine and to optimize the processing variables. Tablets containing olanzapine, camphor, crosscarmellose, and directly compressible lactose were prepared by direct compression technique. The tablets were compressed and later exposed to vacuum. Sublimation of camphor from tablets resulted in superior fast dissolving table...
