Direct acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerisation of fibre sludge to reducing sugars using planetary milling
2016
Abstract This study performed a direct solvent-free acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerisation of fibre sludge to reducing sugars which involves one step of acid milling in a planetary mill. The common reported ‘solvent-free’ mechanocatalytic depolymerisation of lignocellulose which includes 1) acid impregnation, 2) vacuum evaporation and 3) mechanocatalytic depolymerisation was also performed as a reference. The major converted monosaccharides were determined by capillary electrophoresis and the results of total reducing sugar (TRS) yields were carried out based on the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The results showed that the TRS conversion of direct acid-catalysed mechanical dep…

Ball milling and AlB2 addition effects on the hydrogen sorption properties of the CaH2 + MgB2 system
2010
Among the borohydrides proposed for solid state hydrogen storage,Ca(BH4)2 is particularly interesting because of its favourable thermodynamics and relatively cheap price.Composite systems,whereother species are present in addition to the borohydride,show some advantages in hydrogen sorption properties with respect to the borohydrides alone,despite a reduction of the theoretical storage capacity. We have investigated the milling time influence on the sorption properties of the CaH2 +MgB2 system from which Ca(BH4)2 and MgH2 can be synthesized by hydrogen absorption process.Manometric and calorimetric measurements showed better kinetics forlong time milled samples.We found that the total subst…

Acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment to improve sugar release from birch sawdust : Structural and chemical aspects
2022
This study examined acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment of birch sawdust without a separate impregnation step. Catalyst amount and pretreatment time were the key variables. Pretreated material was mixed with water for hydrolysis (100 °C, 60 min). The efficient release of total reducing sugars from birch sawdust is significant to the path towards biofuels and biochemicals. Based on the results, the structure and surface of birch sawdust changed as a function of mechanocatalytic pretreatment. Milling time caused significant transformations in birch structure and also increased the yields of reducing sugars. The highest yield of total reducing sugar from pretreated sawdust was 23.0% a…
Luminescence properties of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet obtained by the co-precipitation method combined with the mechanical process
2005
Nanopowders of yttrium aluminium garnet Y3Al5O12 (YAG) doped with neodymium ions were obtained by the co-precipitation method from the reaction of aluminium and yttrium nitrate and neodymium oxide with ammonia. After washing and drying the hydroxide precursors were calcined at 500, 700, 800 and 900 °C for 1 hour and at 1000 °C for 3 hours. This product was treated by ball milling in a zirconia vial for 0.5, 1.5 and 10 h in order to achieve smaller nanoparticles. The structure, microstructure, morphology and optical properties were investigated by means of diffractometric, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The course of the amorphous-to-crystalline transformation was complete after c…
The Effect of Mechanocatalytic Pretreatment on the Structure and Depolymerization of Willow
2020
In this study, the effect of a mechanocatalytic pretreatment on the structure of willow and sugar release from pretreated willow was explored. In the mechanocatalytic approach, the pretreatment consists of solvent-free impregnation with sulfuric acid and a mechanical treatment with ball milling. Willow sawdust and pretreated samples were analyzed with field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The products in the sugar solution were determined as the total reducing sugars with the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method and monosaccharides with capillary electrophoresis. According to the results, milling increased the sugar production, depending on the sulfuric acid load. T…
