An eddy-current-based sensor for preventing knots in metallic wire drawing processes
Esteban Dalmau, Bernat; Riba Ruiz, Jordi-Roger; Baquero Armans, Grau (Taylor & Francis, 2011-04)During metallic wire drawing processes, the presence of knots and the failure to detect them can lead to long production interruptions, significant economic losses and a lower quality of final product. Consequently, there ... -
An evaluation of the life cycle cost of rapeseed oil as a straight vegetable oil fuel to replace petroleum diesel in agriculture
Baquero Armans, Grau; Esteban Dalmau, Bernat; Riba Ruiz, Jordi-Roger; Rius Carrasco, Antoni; Puig, Rita (Elsevier, 2011-08)The use of straight vegetable oil (SVO) as biofuel has been recognized as a valid substitute of diesel fuel in the agricultural sector under specific circumstances. Its direct use reduces most of the chemical processes ... -
Analysis of the environmental impacts of waterproofing versus conventional vegetable tanning process - A life cycle analysis study
Baquero Armans, Grau; Sorolla, Sílvia; Cuadros Domènech, Rosa; Ollé i Otero, Lluís; Bacardit i Dalmases, Anna (Elsevier, 2021-10-11)Waterproofed vegetable leather is desired for its 'greenness' in front of chromium-tanned waterproofed leather. However, conferring waterproofing capabilities to vegetable tanned leather maintaining light color and a soft ... -
Application of highly carboxylate resins in aqueous emulsion for leather coating avoiding the use of isopropyl alcohol
Ollé i Otero, Lluís; Baquero Armans, Grau; Solé, Mercè; Cuadros Domènech, Rosa; Bacardit i Dalmases, Anna (Elsevier, 2016-08)Today, the first stages of the finishing processes of buffed cattle hides or full loose grain–known as impregnation–are largely carried out with acrylic resins and penetrating agents (typically, a mixture of surfactants ... -
Caracterización de las propiedades físicas de aceites vegetales para ser utilizados como carburante en motores diesel
Riba Ruiz, Jordi-Roger; Esteban Dalmau, Bernat; Baquero Armans, Grau; Puig, Rita; Rius Carrasco, Antoni (Asociación de Químicos e Ingenieros del Instituto Químico de Sarrià, 2010-09)La densidad y la viscosidad de los aceites vegetales tienen valores más elevados que los del gasóleo de automoción para una misma temperatura. Ya que dichos parámetros dependen mucho de la temperatura, con un precalenta ... -
Environmental life cycle assessment of rapeseed straight vegetable oil as self-supply agricultural biofuel
Baquero Armans, Grau; Esteban Dalmau, Bernat; Puig, Rita; Riba Ruiz, Jordi-Roger; Rius Carrasco, Antoni (Elsevier, 2013-02)Biofuels are nowadays considered a questionable environmental alternative to fossil fuels. In that context, this work analyses the environmental impacts when introducing rapeseed on the traditional and current wheat and ... -
Evaluation of a new sustainable continuous system for processing bovine leather
Bacardit i Dalmases, Anna; Baquero Armans, Grau; Sorolla, Sílvia; Ollé i Otero, Lluís (Elsevier, 2015-08)The aim of the present work is to evaluate a new sustainable continuous system for processing bovine leather. By means of a prototype described in the international patent WO, 2010/070571 (A2) of the technological centre ... -
Exploring the feasibility of substituting mimosa tannin for pine bark powder. A LCA perspective
Conde Mateos, Mireia; Combalia Cendra, Felip; Baquero Armans, Grau; Ollé i Otero, Lluís; Bacardit i Dalmases, Anna (2022)The use of vegetable tannins is a bio-based alternative to chrome tanning. The most used vegetable extracts are Mimosa and Quebracho. To improve the sustainability of the tanning process, a chemically unmodified pine bark ... -
Small-scale production of straight vegetable oil from rapeseed and its use as biofuel in the Spanish territory
Baquero Armans, Grau; Esteban Dalmau, Bernat; Rius Carrasco, Antoni; Riba Ruiz, Jordi-Roger; Puig, Rita (Elsevier, 2010-01)Biofuels nowadays are an important topic of study. The most significant point is the availability of bioethanol or biodiesel and their production from different raw materials. It is already known that large-scale production ...
