Identification of chemicals leaching from dental resin-based materials after in vitro chemical and salivary degradation Universiteit Antwerpen Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Objectives: Only little is known about degradation of methacrylate monomers. Therefore, using in vitro chemical and saliva degradation this study aimed to identify the degradation products of organic compounds present in resin-based dental materials. Methods: Ten dental monomers and nine polymerized dental resin-based materials were immersed for 24 h in chemical media (0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M NaOH) and human pooled saliva in order to identify leached ...
Multi-compartment chemical characterization and risk assessment of chemicals of emerging concern in freshwater systems of western Kenya Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: Within the last decades, there has been increasing research on the occurrence of chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) in aquatic ecosystems due to their potential adverse effects on freshwater organisms and risk to human health. However, information on CECs in freshwater environments in sub-Saharan countries is very limited. Here, we investigated the occurrence of CECs in snails and sediments collected from 48 sites within the Lake ...
Chemical transformation of bio-aromatic feedstock into building blocks for the production of bulk and fine chemicals Universiteit Antwerpen
De noodzaak om CO2 uitstoot terug te dringen, de prijsstijging van aardolie en de krimpende voorraden ervan maken het voor de maatschappij noodzakelijk om te investeren in de ontwikkeling van nieuwe, duurzamere manieren om te voldoen aan de noden van een continu groeiend bevolkingsaantal. De fabricage van producten gebaseerd op (bio)hernieuwbare grondstoffen is een mogelijke manier om dit aan te pakken. Als voorbeeld werden producten afgeleid ...
Aqueous pretreatment of plant biomass for biological and chemical conversion to fuels and chemicals Universiteit Gent
Biomass valorization to energy and value added chemicals: The future of chemical industry KU Leuven
This special issue Biomass valorization to energy and value added chemicals is dedicated to the 6th European Meeting on Chemical Industry and Environment – EMChIE 2010. After a thorough peer-review process, nine papers were accepted, all focusing on biomass-to-energy or biomass-to-value-added-chemicals processes. The topics include thermochemical as well as microbial conversion techniques and hence cover a wide area of approaches.
Industrial biomass: source of chemicals, materials, and energy!: implications and limitations of the use of biomass as a source for food, chemicals, materials and energy Universiteit Gent
Biomass seemed a very promising resource for substituting fossil hydrocarbons as a renewable source of energy and as a sustainable raw material for various industrial sectors. However, during the first decade of the 21st century, competition between the use of biomass for food and feed on the one hand, and for energy and industrial applications on the other hand, became a big issue. Dramatic food price rises in the first half of 2008 were blamed ...
