This paper discusses the use of Box Behnken design (BBD) approach to plan the experiments for turning the yield of CVD, thickness and layer number of graphene sheets with an overall objective of optimizing the process to provide higher graphene production volume, fewer layers and thinness structure of graphene. BBD is having the maximum efficiency for an experiment involving four factors such a...

The recovery of high-quality, valuable end products from cheese whey is a very important industrial process. The aim of this study is to improve the recovered protein content of concentrate stream in cheese whey. The experiments were conducted by using ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) membrane followed by diafiltration (DF) process with a 15kDa molecular weight cut-off (MWCO). The volume concentrat...

Due to the high price of virgin vegetable oils and the drawbacks of the homogeneous catalytic transesterification, in this work an economically profitable alternative process was proposed for biodiesel synthesis in which transesterification of the low-cost waste cooking oil (WCO) with methanol in a heterogeneous system was done. Alumina impregnated with sodium hydroxide was utilized as a solid ...

A low expense process is developed for recovering esterified eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from microalgae and fish oil. Over 70% of the EPA content in the esterified crude extract of microalgae were recovered at purities exceeding 90%. The recovery scheme utilizes either wet or freeze-dried algal biomass. The process consists of only three main steps: 1) simultaneous extraction and transesterifi...
