(2012-05)This century can be called “Plastic age”, plastics play a major role in our modern life, plastic was alternative for most industrial materials due to its fabulous properties, there is an increase in the production and ... -
Enhancement of Water Treatment by using Electromagnetic Field
(2014-04-29)Despite its ubiquity, there is relatively little scientific literature on magnetic water treatment. It is not clear how, or even if, it works. Unlike chemical water softening, magnetic treatment should have no direct effect ... -
Preparation And Characterization Of Composites Based On Recycled PolyEthylene And PolyEthylene Terephtalate Bleneds
(2014-04-22)Polymers affect every day of our life. These materials have so many varied characteristics and applications that their usefulness can only be measured by our imagination. Polymers have been with us since the beginning of ... -
Sun-dried/ low temperature clay bricks
(2016-05-04)Limestone has been used as a construction material in Palestine for a long time, but the disadvantages in extracting it in addition to other cons have opened the door for alternative materials such as clay to be used. Thus, ... -
Modification of Tire Pyrolysis Oil
(2015)Waste tire pyrolysis oil has high potential to replace conventional fossil liquidfuels due to its high calorific heating value, However, the large amounts of sulfurous compounds in this oil hinders its application. Thus, ... -
Compounding of Polyethylene using stone cutting waste (limestone powder)
(2013)The aim of the current project is to study the possibility of compounding polyethylene using stone cutting solid waste (lime stone powder). Solid stone cutting waste consist mainly of calcium carbonate and is usually ... -
Spread Cheese from Recycled Whey Protein
(2015)In cheese making, casein forms the crud structure while whey proteins are lost in the whey. Whey proteins are well known for their high nutritional value and versatile functional properties in food products. ... -
