Crude canola oil (CCO) contains about 100–300ppm of phospholipids, which have shown negative effects on biodiesel/buffer solution phase separation, resulting in low biodiesel production yield. Therefore, phospholipids should be removed before transesterification by a degumming process for...

We have investigated, using small angle neutron scattering (SANS), polyacrylamide microgels with 0.25% and 1.5% (w/w) cross-linking percentages. The SANS patterns consist of solution-like concentration fluctuations given by two Lorentz functions and a contribution at low q of the type...
