in order to simultaneously improve wet and dry strengths of paper and decrease environmental issues related to the wet strength resins, in this study effect of application method of wet strength additives on paper properties was investigated. wet strength resins were applied in four methods including spraying an aqueous glyoxal solution on to the surface of wet paper, addition of aminated polya...

Isomerization of aldoses to ketoses is an essential step in carbohydrate valorization routes biorefineries produce a wide variety bioproducts. In this work, selective isomerization into was investigated using different commercial Brønsted basic anion resins at low temperature conditions. Weak and strong were tested under reaction Amberlite IRA-900 Amberlyst A-26 (strong resins) IRA-67 A-21 (wea...

Abstract Phenolic resins are the most commonly used binders in brake pads for automotive disc systems owing to their affordability and thermal properties. However, they also show some limitations related crosslinking mechanism. Benzoxazine present themselves as possible alternatives this application by providing enhanced properties well other industrially attractive characteristics such lower m...

Perchlorate (ClO(4)(-)) is a persistent contaminant found in drinking groundwater sources in the United States. Ion exchange (IX) with selective and disposable resins based on cross-linked styrene divinylbenzene (STY-DVB) beads is currently the most commonly utilized process for removing low concentrations of ClO(4)(-) (10-100 ppb) from contaminated drinking water sources. However, due to the l...

Flax shive constitutes about 70% of the flax stem and has limited use. Because shive is a lignocellulosic by-product, it can potentially be pyrolyzed and activated to produce an activated carbon. The objective of this study was to create an activated carbon from flax shive by chemical activation in order to achieve significant binding of selected divalent cations (cadmium, calcium, copper, magn...

In order to screen a suitable resin for the preparative simultaneous separation and purification of syringin, eleutheroside E and isofraxidin from Acanthopanax senticosus, the adsorption and desorption properties of 17 widely used commercial macroporous resins were evaluated. According to our results, HPD100C, which adsorbs by the molecular tiers model, was the best macroporous resin, offering ...

Grape and wine byproducts have been extensively studied for the recovery of phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity and a variety of biological actions. The selective recovery and concentration of the phenolic compounds from the liquid phase separated from further diluted winery wastes has been proposed. Adsorption onto non ionic polymeric resins and further desorption with ethanolic solut...
