Densification is an effective method for improving the physical and mechanical properties of low-density wood. However, set-recovery dimensions was found to be problem densified wood due low fixation during densification process. Alkali pretreatment before thought a modification process improve dimensional stability In this research, samples used were boiled in 1.25 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH) so...

Co-gasification of biomass and plastic blends has been extensively studied, however the effect AAEMs (alkali alkaline earth metals) in on co-gasification behavior still remains unknown. Acid alkali pretreatment were used here to remove or introduce by ion-exchange method. SEM was obtain morphological characteristics three pretreated pine wood (PW) samples; TG analysis pure blend feedstocks exam...

Rice straw contains a large amount of lignocellulose which is difficult to be decomposed. The objective this study was determine the effect alkaline pretreatment (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and microbial agents on decomposition rice straw. experimental detail consisted NaOH (control solution pretreatment) agent (Bacillus licheniformis agent, Bacillus subtilis Trichoderma viride no agent) treatment...

Acid and alkali secretion have been examined together with prostaglandin E2 production in response to two mucosal protective drugs, colloidal bismuth subcitrate and sucralfate. Doses of colloidal bismuth subcitrate in the therapeutic range (120 and 1200 mg) had no effect on alkali secretion or luminal PGE2 output when perfused into the stomach of human volunteers. Similarly, in the anaesthetise...

Response surface methodology was employed to determine the effects of enzymatic pretreatment temperature, time, and pH on the reducing sugar content and bonding strength of soy-based adhesives (SBAs). Plywood specimens bonded by the SBAs with Pinus massoniana veneer were then produced. A significant positive correlation was observed between reducing sugar content and the bonding strength of SBA...
