Typical hydrometallurgical processes for metal production such as zinc, copper, nickel and cobalt, among others, are carried out in huge electrochemical tankhouses since only low current densities can be applied in order ...

In this present work, the fluidynamic and drying process of paste in a spouted bed was analyzed. The experiments were conducted using polyethylene particles of 4.38 mm of diameter and 930.5 ± 0.3 kg/m3 of specific mass ...

The biofuels production is a promising alternative for decreasing fossil fuels dependency globally. Great efforts have been made in the search for energy optimization of the biofuel production process, in order to improve ...

Interest in the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has increased in the last 10 years because of the increasing discovery of its special characteristics for the treatment of diseases through cell therapy or tissue ...

Brazil is the second largest producer of soybean, with the projection of becoming the largest producer in 2019/2020. All Brazilian soybean oil is produced by the extraction process with hexane, an oil derivative. One way ...

This work deals with modeling applications, systematic and reliable optimization methodologies of global search, and other computational tools. It is expected that existing computational intelligence methods, encoded in ...

Taylor-Vortex reactor (TVB) is fast becoming the next bioreactor to culture animal cells due to milder shear and homogeneous flow structures through-out the bioreactor in comparison to the traditional stirred vessels. ...

Soybean seed is a renewable feedstock and the production process of soybean meal and soybean refined oil generates residues that can be exploited, in such a way that the biorefinery concept can be applied to this production ...

In this work, an investigation through experimentation and mathematical modeling was carried out with the intention of evaluating the drying process of pitangueira (Eugenia uniflora L.) and olive tree (Olea europaea L.) ...

Attempting to contribute to the development of the drying process in fixed bed, this work has the objective of the experimental study on the drying of barley grains in fixed bed, without and with drying airflow reversal. ...
