The puzzling issue of silica toxicity: are silanols bridging the gaps between surface states and pathogenicity?
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Background: Silica continues to represent an intriguing topic of fundamental and applied research across various
scientific fields, from geology to physics, chemistry, cell biology, and particle toxicology. The pathogenic ...
Effect of firing temperature on humidity self-regulation functionality in a ceramic tile composition
(Elsevier, 2022-07-19)
The effect of sintering temperature on the humidity regulating capacity of a ceramic composition based on the mineral gibbsite has been studied. The humidity self-regulation functionality is due to the presence of mesopores ...
Low-cost ceramic membrane bioreactor: Effect of backwashing, relaxation and aeration on fouling. Protozoa and bacteria removal
(Elsevier, 2022-07-04)
Membrane biological reactors (MBR) constitute an alternative to conventional wastewater treatments for improved recovery, reuse, and recycling of water. MBRs have a smaller footprint, provide better biotreatment and achieve ...
Feasibility of using organosilane dry-coated detoxified quartzes as raw material in different industrial sectors
(Elsevier, 2021-11-10)
Respirable crystalline silica (RCS), in the form of quartz and cristobalite from occupational sources, was classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as carcinogenic to humans (category 1). In ...
Kinetics of viscous flow sintering of glass–zircon composites: effect of zircon volume fraction and particle size distribution
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2022-02-02)
Viscous flow sintering of glass–zircon composites was studied by isothermal and constant-rate heating experiments. The sintering curves fitted very well to the developed kinetic model, based on the Kohlrausch–Williams–Watts ...
Mechanical properties obtained by nanoindentation of sintered zircon-glass matrix composites
(Elsevier, 2020-01-10)
This study was undertaken to determine the effect of zircon content and firing temperature on the hardness and indentation modulus of zircon–glass composites obtained by sintering. A standard non-devitrified borosilicate ...
Feasibility of incorporating silica aerogel in atmospheric plasma spraying coatings
(Elsevier, 2021-06-07)
