Precipitation of curcumin, a poorly water-soluble drug, has been carried out by the liquid antisolvent technique in the presence of ultrasound and stabilizers. Curcumin particles with varied morphology were observed to ...

We investigate the rheological implications of partitioning and self-assembly of colloidal particles at the grain boundaries (GBs) of hexagonal (H1) liquid crystal (LC) phase as a function of particle loading, shape and ...

Motivated by our recent study showing improved flow and dissolution rate of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) powders (20 μm) produced via simultaneous micronization and surface modification through continuous ...

In this work, liquid antisolvent precipitation of carbamazepine (CBZ), an anticonvulsant and antiepileptic drug, was carried out from its solutions in an ionic liquid (IL), [BMIM][Cl], using water as an antisolvent. ...

In this work, we have developed a model to describe the behavior of liquid drops upon impaction on hydrophobic particle bed and verified it experimentally. Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) particles were used to coat drops ...

The crystallographic orientation of cold-rolled 316L stainless steel is investigated during reversion of strain-induced ά-martensite to nano/ultrafine-grained austenite upon annealing at 750 °C for different holding times; ...

A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is a complex system with a Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine and a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) working together. These three units work together and make the process highly interdependent. ...

Alarm systems in chemical plants alert process operators to deviations in process variables beyond predetermined limits. Despite more than 30 years of research in developing various methods and tools for better alarm ...

Safety is paramount aspect of any chemical plant. In this paper various approaches to enhance process safety are evaluated. The specific enhancements include process design methodologies for improving inherent safety and ...
