Assessment of the conformational profile of bombesin by computational methods
Valverde Salamanca, Abel; Gómez Gutiérrez, Patricia; Pérez González, Juan Jesús (2020-07-20)
Article
Open AccessIn the present work, the results of a computational study aimed at assessing the conformational profile of bombesin are reported. The conformational space of the peptide was sampled by means of a 4 µs accelerated molecular ... -
Binary interaction parameters from reacting mixture data. Supercritical biodiesel process with CO2 as cosolvent
Valverde Salamanca, Abel; Osmieri, Luigi; Recasens Baxarías, Francisco Javier (2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessA method is presented for the calculation of binary interaction parameters from reacting mixture data. The process studied is the supercritical methanol transesterification of triolein with CO2 as cosolvent. The reaction ... -
Extraction of solid lanoline from raw wool with near-critical ethanol-modified CO2 —A mass transfer model
Valverde Salamanca, Abel; Recasens Baxarías, Francisco Javier (2019-03-01)
Article
Open AccessThis study deals with the modeling of the extraction of solid lanoline from raw wool under near-critical conditions using 5% ethanol in CO2, using our previous experimental data. A mass-transfer model is developed to explain ... -
Hybrid nonlinear autoregressive neural network—Weibull statistical model applied to the supercritical extraction of lanolin from raw wool
Valverde Salamanca, Abel; Álvarez Flórez, Jesús Andrés; Recasens Baxarías, Francisco Javier (Springer, 2020-09-09)
Article
Open AccessSupercritical extraction of lanolin from raw wool with modified CO2 (5% ethanol) at temperatures above the melting point of lanolin (T = 36–42 ºC) is difficult to model because of the multicomponent diffusion in the liquid ... -
Mathematical modelling of supercritical fluid extraction of liquid lanoline from raw wool. Solubility and mass transfer rate parameters
Valverde Salamanca, Abel; Álvarez Flórez, Jesús Andrés; Recasens Baxarías, Francisco Javier (2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessA new mathematical model is presented for the supercritical fluid extraction of lanoline from wool using near-critical ethanol-modified CO2, using our previous experimental data. The model is intended to account for the ... -
Modelling mass transfer from a packed bed by fluid extraction
Myers, Timothy; Valverde Salamanca, Abel; Aguareles Carrero, María; Calvo Schwarzwälder, Marc; Font Martínez, Francesc (2022-06-01)
Article
Open AccessA mathematical model describing the erosion or leaching of a solid material by a flowing fluid in a column is developed. This involves an advection-diffusion equation coupled to a linear kinetic reaction describing the ... -
Thermal characterization of msw for purpose of its gasification and pyrolysis
Valverde Salamanca, Abel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya / Univerzita v Bratislave, 2013)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessDue to the increase of municipal solid waste (MSW) as the population and their consume increase, new technologies of waste removal have to be developed, in order to find a MSW disposal method which do not fill lands and ... -
Use of mathematical methods in the resolution of chemical engineering problems
Valverde Salamanca, Abel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis consists of a compendium of five works that illustrate the utilization of selected mathematical methods to solve specific chemical engineering problems. Hence, the thesis is intended to cover both, a review of ...
