A numerical simulation study on the interaction of particles with rough surface and soft structures in suspension systems
(2022)
Particle interactions in complex colloidal systems are essential in a variety of traditional and emerging
industrial processes. This thesis applied the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO)
theory to calculate ...
Bioconversion of agricultural residues into value-added products by pectinase-producing bacteria and expression of pectinase gene in E. coli for biomass valorization
(2023)
Pectinase is a group of enzymes that degrade pectin and is one of the most influential industrial
enzymes, which helps produce varieties of good-quality products. These enzymes are ecofriendly, highly specific, sustainable, ...
Experimental investigation of water entry of a solid object and sand particles
(2023)
This thesis presents the results of two different approaches to water entry; first, in Part I, the results
of the experimental investigation of the water entry of a solid object, a thick disk in stagnant water,
are ...
Multicriteria feasibility assessment of BioSuccinic acid production from lignocellulosic biomass
(2023)
The goal of any lignocellulosic based biorefinery should be to produce a spectrum of marketable
products and energy utilizing all significant components of biomass. Depending on the maturity
of available technology, ...
Enhancing biomolecule production from Bacillus velezensis PhCL using low-cost agricultural residues as feedstock and improving biomass hydrolysis through enzyme mutagenesis
(2023)
Bioproduction have been considered an alternative option for obtaining useful and
eco-friendly chemicals for industrial applications. Bacillus velezensis, a trending bacterium
first isolated in 2005, is well-known for ...
A high throughput screening and characterization of laccase-producing bacterium Serratia quinivorans AORB19 that exhibits lignin degradation traits, dye decolorization efficiency, and enhanced laccase production in biomass
(2023)
Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) assumes a vital role in the degradation of lignin by utilizing oxygen as an oxidant
and catalyzing bond cleavage in both phenolic and nonphenolic lignin model compounds. However, their
industrial ...
The contribution of fish movement to ecosystem function in Lake Superior
(2023)
Ecosystems are complex, highly interconnected systems in which organisms interact with their physical environment. Often, to simplify our understanding of their function, populations within ecosystems are treated as either ...
Crosslinked lignin-starch polymers with alternative applications
(2023)
Lignin is a complex biopolymer obtained as a by-product from the delignification of wood and grasses. Starch is also a natural polymer of amylose and amylopectin found in many plants, featuring a relatively simple structure ...
Fundamental studies of microalgal biofilm formation and microalgalbacterial membrane photobioreactors
(2024)
Microalgae is one of the photoautotrophic microorganisms that has attracted significant
attention in wastewater treatment and biofuel production. Although researchers claimed that
microalgae cultivation in wastewater ...
