Separation of enantiomers is a major concern in pharmaceutical industries due to the different therapeutic activities exhibited by the enantiomers. Preferential crystallization is an attractive means to separate the conglomerate-forming enantiomers....

Agglomeration represents an important particle formation process used in many industries. One particularly attractive process setup is continuous fluidized bed spray agglomeration, which features good mixing as well as high heat and mass transfer on...

The development of an effective drying performance of the fluidized bed dryer (FBD) is crucial to reduce drying costs. The objective of this study was to investigate the drying performance of wheat germ (WG) with different time-temperature combinatio...

Networks of coordinated interactions among biological entities govern a myriad of biological functions that span a wide range of both length and time scales—from ecosystems to individual cells, and from years (e.g., the life cycle of periodical...

Establishing a reaction network is of uttermost importance in complex catalytic processes such as fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). This step is the seed for a faithful reactor modeling and the subsequent catalyst re-design, process optimization or pre...

The issue of solitary senior citizens dying alone has become serious in advanced countries where the average lifespan of their citizens is continuously extending due to improved health care and diet. Such unattended deaths are considered to be one of...

Aluminum alloys cannot be used in aggressive corrosion environments application. In this paper, three different surface coating technologies were used to coat the 6082-T6 aluminum alloy to increase the corrosion resistance, namely Plasma Electrolytic...

Our previous study reported that operation in multiple steady states contributes to an improvement in reaction conversion, making it possible to reduce the energy consumption of the reactive distillation process for tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME) synt...

Concerning electrical energy used in today’s modern society, electrical energy demands requested from downstream sectors in a smart grid are continuously increasing. One way to meet the electrical demands requested is to monitor and manage indu...

To divide, control, and predict the effects of the coagulation process in water treatment, a characteristic analysis of the change in particle size distribution (particle number and fractal dimension) during aided coagulation with hydrated MnO2 was p...
