A Mathcad‐based educational experience to address the design of nonisothermal plug flow reactors
Cuadri Vega, Antonio Abad
; Gallego Calvo, Rocío; Martín Alfonso, María José; Delgado Sánchez, Clara; Cortés Triviño, Esperanza; Tenorio Alfonso, Adrián; Borrero López, Antonio María; Ortega Bravo, Francisco José (Wiley, 2022)
Mathcad is a simple-to-use and intuitive mathematical software that helps students to minimize the mathematical difficulties involved in solving engineering problems. The design of nonisothermal plug flow reactors (PFR) ... -
Assessment of Sustainability of Bio Treated Lignocellulose-Based Oleogels
Fajardo, Carmen; Blánquez, Alba; Borrero López, Antonio María; Valencia Barragán, Concepción (MDPI, 2021-01)
The development of biological strategies to obtain new high-added value biopolymers from lignocellulosic biomass is a current challenge for scientific community. This study evaluates the biodegradability and ecotoxicity ... -
Cellulose Pulp- and Castor Oil-Based Polyurethanes for Lubricating Applications: Influence of Streptomyces Action on Barley and Wheat Straws
Borrero López, Antonio María; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Blánquez, Alba; Franco Gómez, José María (MDPI, 2020-11)
The replacement of mineral oils and non-renewable gelling agents is an imperative requirement for the lubricant industry in the near future. In this framework, cellulose pulp and castor oil are proposed as sustainable ... -
Characterization and Analysis of the Carbonation Process of a Lime Mortar Obtained from Phosphogypsum Waste
Romero Hermida, M. I.; Borrero López, Antonio María; Flores Alés, V.; Alejandre, Francisco Javier; Franco Gómez, José María; Santos, Alberto; Esquivias, Luis (MDPI, 2021)
This work addresses the reuse of waste products as a raw material for lime putties, which are one of the components of mortar. 1:3 Lime/sand mortars very similar to conventional construction mortars were prepared using ... -
Eco-Friendly Oleogels from Functionalized Kraft Lignin with Laccase SilA from Streptomyces ipomoeae: An Opportunity to Replace Commercial Lubricants
Domínguez, Gabriela; Blánquez, Alba; Borrero López, Antonio María; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Eugenio, María Eugenia; Arias, María Enriqueta; Rodríguez, Juana; Hernández, Manuel (American Chemical Society, 2021)
This work demonstrates the usefulness of SilA laccase from Streptomyces ipomoeae to functionalize Kraft lignin to be used as a thickener in the preparation of biodegradable oleogels for lubricating purposes. First, ... -
Lignin effect in castor oil-based elastomers: Reaching new limits in rheological and cushioning behaviors
Borrero López, Antonio María; Wang, Ling; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Franco Gómez, José María; Rojas, Orlando J. (Elsevier, 2021-02)
Lignin is demonstrated as an unprecedented reinforcing material that tailors the rheological and cushioning properties of castor oil-based polyurethane elastomers, expanding their viscoelastic moduli by four orders of ... -
Lignocellulosic Materials for the Production of Biofuels, Biochemicals and Biomaterials and Applications of Lignocellulose-Based Polyurethanes: A Review
The present review is devoted to the description of the state-of-the-art techniques and procedures concerning treatments and modifications of lignocellulosic materials in order to use them as precursors for biomaterials, ... -
Populus alba L., an Autochthonous Species of Spain: A Source for Cellulose Nanofibers by Chemical Pretreatment
Ibarra, David; Martín Sampedro, Raquel; Wicklein, Bernd; Borrero López, Antonio María; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Valdehíta, Ana; Navas, José M.; Eugenio, María Eugenia (MDPI, 2022)
In order to identify new sustainable sources for producing cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), fast-growing poplar (Populus alba L.) wood was evaluated herein. For that purpose, bleached poplar kraft pulp was produced and ... -
Rheology of lignin-based chemical oleogels prepared using diisocyanate crosslinkers : effect of the diisocyanate and curing kinetics
Borrero López, Antonio María; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Franco Gómez, José María (Elsevier, 2017)
In this work, alkali lignin together with different diisocyanates (hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and 4,4′-methylenebis (phenyl isocyanate) (MDI)) have been ... -
Toward UV-Triggered Curing of Solvent-Free Polyurethane Adhesives Based on Castor Oil
Borrero López, Antonio María; Guzmán, David B; González-Delgado, José Antonio; Fernández Arteaga, Jesús; Valencia Barragán, Concepción; Pischel, Uwe; Franco Gómez, José María (American Chemical Society, 2021-08-10)
An o-nitrobenzyl-protected precursor was used as a phototrigger for the release of the diamine cadaverine in polyurethane adhesives based on castor oil as a renewable source of polyol and organic diisocyanates. This ...
