High-alkali low-temperature polysulfide pulping (HALT) was effectively utilised to prevent major polysaccharide losses while maintaining the delignification rate. A yield increase of 6.7 wt% on wood was observed for a HALT pulp compared to a conventionally produced kappa number 60

Fungal contamination in indoor environments has been associated with adverse health effects for the inhabitants. Remediation of fungal contamination requires removal of the fungi present and modifying the indoor environment to become less favourable to growth. This may include treatment

Terrestrial organisms need to limit evaporation from their bodies in order to maintain a homeostatic water balance. Owing to a large surface to volume ratio, arthropods are particularly susceptible to desiccation and have evolved behavioural and physiological mechanisms to conserve

A set of potassium sulfates presenting a variety of sulfur environments (K(2)SO(4), KHSO(4), K(2)S(2)O(7), and K(2)S(2)O(8)) has been studied by (33)S solid state NMR at 21 T. Low natural abundance (0.75%) and small gyromagnetic ratio of (33)S presented a serious

In this work, we have investigated the effect of potassium salts of different anions upon the crystal nucleation of K(2)SO(4) as interfacially templated by a surfactant monolayer of 1-octadecylamine (ODA), in an aqueous microdroplet system bounded by a liquid-liquid interface
