Physico-chemical Characteristics and Environmental Fate of a Hydrolytically Degradable Cationic Flocculant
Polyacrylamide (PAM) flocculants are used frequently for wastewater treatment processes (WWTP). However, PAM is hydrophilic and generates loosely packed sediments, which makes further removal of water difficult. Therefore, a novel hydrolytically degradable flocculant, poly(lactic acid) choline …

Improvement in the cooking and physico-chemical characteristics of hard-to-cook cowpeas by pre-conditioning and micronization
… defect and determining its effect on cooking and physicochemicalcharacteristics of cowpeas. The second part consisted of attempting to alleviate the HTC defect in cowpeas by pre-conditioning cowpeas in water or in a solution with monovalent (Na+) cations and its combination with micronization. The …

Preparation and Characterization of Hydrophobic Graphene-Based Thin Films
… solvents. The influence of these solvents on the physico-chemical characteristics of the resulting graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide thin films cast on a silicon substrate is studied. It is found that the choice of dispersing medium determines the degree of surface coverage and therefore …
