The current review provides an overview of different types of superabsorbent polymers
(SAPs) together with appropriate strategies elaborated to enable their synthesis. The main …

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are organic materials with lightly crosslinked three-
dimensional structure possessing high to very high swelling capacity in aqueous media …

Olive Processing Waste Management contains a comprehensive review of literature and
patent survey concerning olive processing waste. Over 1,000 citations are presented …

Cracking is a major concern in building applications. Cracks may arise from shrinkage,
freeze/thawing and/or structural stresses, amongst others. Several solutions can be found …

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) have already found their way in many applications. These
'smart'polymers undergo major characteristic changes by small environmental variations. In …

In order to develop an eco-friendly polymer, a novel super-absorbent polymer was prepared
by graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA), acrylic amide (AM) and dimethyl diallyl …

The pre-treatment of three different olive oil processing effluents by means of direct
flocculation (ie without prior coagulation) was investigated. Four cationic and two anionic …

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is characterised by its high suspended solids content (SS),
high turbidity (NTU), chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration up to 100gl− 1 and toxic …

The pre-treatment of olive mill effluents (OME) by means of coagulation–flocculation
coupling various inorganic materials and organic poly-electrolytes was investigated. Tests …

In order to develop an eco-friendly polymer, the material was prepared from pulverized
wheat straw by chemical methods. And a super-absorbent hydrogel has been synthesized …
