Algal-algal bioflocculation enhances the recovery efficiency of Picochlorum sp. QUCCCM130 with low auto-settling capacity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Large-scale production of microalgal biomass is still considered non-viable due to the high cost and energy required for harvesting. A fast, cost-effective, and successful harvesting technique has become widely sought after ...
Effect of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer on kinematic viscosity and thermal stability of jojoba, date seed, and waste cooking oils in lubricant applications
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
Vegetable oils possess excellent lubricant properties, but one reason limiting their application as lubricants is their low kinematic viscosity. This study investigated how the addition of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer ...
