Adsorption characteristics of Iota-carrageenan and Inulin biopolymers as potential corrosion inhibitors at mild steel/sulphuric acid interface

Gowraraju, Niramala Devi; Jagadeesan, Saranya; Ayyasamy, Kiruthika; Olasunkanmi, Lukman O.; Ebenso, Eno Effiong; Subramanian, Chitra (Elsevier, 2017)

The corrosion inhibition efficiency performance of biopolymers Iota-carrageenan (IC) and Inulin (INU) on mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was evaluated using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical ...
Preparation of polyurethane from lignin and crude glycerol

Muller, L.C.; Marx, S.; Chiyanzu, I.; Vosloo, H. (ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)

Polyurethane foam (PUF) was prepared by a novel approach, using a renewable polyol derived from only biofuel production by-products, lignin and crude glycerol. This could potentially be a high value bio-refinery application ...
