This work describes a valorization procedure for one of the most important wastes generated during aluminum recycling, namely, saline slag. was divided in two steps: a) recovery or its compounds various fractions, and b) use those fractions synthesis zeolites: analcime (NaAlSi2O6·H2O) pollucite (CsAlSi2O6·nH2O). Saline slag ground, sieved (1 mm), washed separated into different sizes, larger another smaller than 0.4 mm. The fraction mm treated under reflux conditions with NaOH CsOH...

This work proposes the use of supercritical CO2 to impregnate starch (potato and corn) aerogels with quercetin for a potential fungistatic application. Starch were successfully produced drying, but different results found depending on amylose/amylopectin ratio. A higher amount amylose increases aerogels' specific surface area (with structure nanofibrils nodes) due linear amorphous character this polymer, whereas amylopectin decreases property until values only 25 m2·g-1, obtaining an aerogel...
