Odorous compounds in bioplastics derived from bloodmeal
Verbeek, Casparus Johan R.; Hicks, Talia; Langdon, Alan (Springer, 2011)During the processing of bloodmeal-based thermoplastics (BMT), volatile compounds are released which are odorous and unpleasant. Literature searches revealed that blood components are thermally unstable under oxidising ... -
Purification of Tannery Effluent by electrolytic corrosion of aluminium
Mathieson, Grant Alexander; Langdon, Alan; Jamieson, Graham (ECS, 2006)Tannery Effluent is noxious because tanning process chemicals are preservatives, including chromium, and the pH is high. Electrolytic processing is feasible because the high salt content gives a high electrical conductivity. ... -
The structure characterization of cellulose xanthogenate derived from the straw of Eichhornia crassipes
Zhou, Wenbing; Zhu, Duanwei; Langdon, Alan; Li, Lisa; Liao, Shuijiao; Tan, Liangfeng (Elsevier BV, 2009)Alkali-treated straw and cellulose xanthogenate were derived from shoot and root biomass of Eichhornia crassipes by treatment with NaOH and CS₂, respectively. The structures of the raw and modified plant materials were ... -
Studies of transformation and particle-binding of resin acids during oxidative treatment of effluent from Two New Zealand pulp mills
Kanber, S. A.; Langdon, Alan; Wilkins, Alistair L. (Springer, 2008)Reactor studies of aerobic degradation of effluent from the first and last ponds of the treatment system of two New Zealand pulp and paper mills indicated that filterable BOD5, resin acids and transformed resin acids, free ... -
Synergistic electric field enhancement of the effectiveness of chlorine species formed during electrochemical disinfection of drinking water
Nath, Hilary; Langdon, Alan (IWA Publishing, 2012)In line in situ electrochemical disinfection of drinking water with chloride concentrations as low as 10 mg/L has been demonstrated at practical flow rates of at least 3 m3/day using a novel perforated electrode flow through ...
