A Model to Study the Effect of Homogeneous Nucleation and Emulsifier Amounts on Methyl Methacrylate Emulsion Polymerization in a Seeded Semi-batch Reactor
Abstract: ABSTRACTAn extensive model is developed for methyl methacrylate emulsion polymerization. The assumption of monodispersed particle size distribution is used in developing the model. It is found that inclusion of homogeneous nucleation in the model leads to under prediction of variation of conversion with time. The effects of three different emulsifier amounts on the variation of conversion with time at 50°C isothermal reactor operation, keeping all the other ingredients constant are …

Microbial Biosurfactant Use in Food Industry
Abstract: Biosurfactants are now used mostly in pollution remediation; nevertheless, they have potential applications in many areas of the food industry. Some qualities of biosurfactants that might be researched in food processing and formulation include emulsion formation and stability, antiadhesive, and antibacterial activity. The potential applications of microbial surfactants in the food business are investigated., as well as the utilisation of agro-industrial wastes as alternative substrates for their synthesis. This study …

Optimization Strategies Towards Enhanced Production of Microbial Surfactants for Diverse Industrial Applications: A Futuristic Approach
Abstract: Chemical or synthetic surfactants being employed in numerous industries pose significant environmental hazards due to their persistence in the environment and potential toxicity to aquatic life. Biosurfactants are low-molecular-weight surface-active compounds that offer a promising alternative to surfactants owing to their less toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility nature. They are derived from a variety of natural sources, including bacteria, fungi, and plants. In recent years, there has been a surge in …

Chemical formulation technology for Agrochemical use and its benefits
Abstract: Since 1940’s, chemical industries have been trying to satisfy the demands of farmers and cultivars, to increase crop yield, quality and productivity. Chemical formulations have been developed to fulfill these needs. Pesticides comprises wide range of chemicals that are mixed together under specific conditions to yield a product that can be effectively applied at lower rates, and exhibit properties such as non-toxicity, non-target species, and is more environment-friendly [1]. The …

Comparative Assessment of Tensile and Shear Behavior of Cold, Warm and Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete
Abstract: The environment awareness of toxic gases emissions during the production, transportation, and construction of hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) have led to the development of Warm, half warm, and cold mix asphalt concrete. Such development of alternative mixtures is considered as sustainable materials in asphalt concrete paving process. The temperature reduction in the mixing of binder during production, handling, and compaction of the mix results in saving energy, reduction of …
