Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,101 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid Waste Characterization and Recycling Potential for University Technology PETRONAS Academic BuildingsAmirhossein Malakahmad, Muhammad Za’im Zaki bin Che Mohd Nasir, Shamsul Rahman Mohammed Kutty, Mohammed Hasnain IsaProblem statement: In many countries such as Malaysia, it is increasingly more difficult to find suitable locations for landfills, which are accepted by the population. These circumstances are to be found all over the world and make new strategies for waste management necessary. Approach: Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) systems are one of the greatest challenges for sustainable development. But … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,867 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption from Aqueous Solution Onto Natural and Acid Activated BentoniteLaila Al-Khatib, Feras Fraige, Mohammad Al-Hwaiti, Omar Al-KhashmanDyes have long been used in dyeing, paper and pulp, textiles, plastics, leather, paint, cosmetics and food industries. Nowadays, more than 100,000 commercial dyes are available with a total production of 700,000 tones manufactured all over the world annually. About 10-15% of dyes are being disposed off as a waste into the environment after dyeing process. This poses certain hazards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,417 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Investigation of Mold Cavity Pressure of Self-Clamping Molds During Solid Tire ManufacturingSadeep Amantha Mawathage, Jayashingha Arachchige Indika Sanjeewa, Nirosh Dilruk JayaweeraThis study investigates the mold cavity pressure in self-clamping molds used for solid tire manufacturing, a sector where Sri Lanka is a leading global supplier. Our research presents a detailed investigation into the mold cavity pressure of self-clamping molds used in solid tire production. By integrating experimental data, the effects of critical parameters such as clamp bolt torque, final tire … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 2 Oct 2025 · 2,963 accessesView PDF Cite
