Geopolymer synthetized from bottom coal ash and calcined paper sludge

TL;DR: In this article, bottom ash (SiO2/Al2O3) was used as source of aluminosilicate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH = 5, 10 and 15 m) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3, SiO2 /Na2O= 1.58) were used as alkaline medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factorial design as tool in chitosan nanoparticles development by ionic gelation technique

TL;DR: In this paper, an ionic gelation technique was applied to form nanoparticles through linkages between tripolyphosphate (TPP) and chitosan (CTS) and the formulation was optimized using a 2 3 factorial design to analyze the effect of the pH, CTS:TPP ratio and acetic acid concentration in size and charge of the particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and characterization of Y zeolites from alternative silicon and aluminium sources

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental design was carried out as a tool to evaluate the effects of time and temperature parameters and they influence on the crystallization of zeolites with analytical reagents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organophilic treatments of bentonite increase the adsorption of aflatoxin B1 and protect stem cells against cellular damage

TL;DR: Results indicate that the two materials tested may protect the neural crest stem cells against damage caused by AFB1, and these two materials that were created by organophilic treatments were not found to be toxic to stem cells.
