Development of Green Subcritical Water Separation Technology
Doctor, Ninad (East Carolina University, 2019-08-19)Theoretically speaking, water under temperature and pressure conditions below its critical point is called subcritical water. However, the term “subcritical water” normally refers to hot water up to 374 C and pressure up ... -
Fundamental and Applied Studies on Chromatographic Separation of Cold Drugs and Skincare Creams and Extraction of Salvia miltiorrhiza using Subcritical Water
Kapalavavi, Brahmam (East Carolina University, 2014)Subcritical water chromatography (SBWC) and subcritical water extraction (SBWE) are two green techniques that use subcritical water as the sole solvent for separations, thus eliminating the use of toxic and expensive organic ... -

Vang, Jerry Xai (East Carolina University, 2022-07-18)Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative common in many household products due to its antibacterial and antifungal activities. However, many of its side effects other than as a preservative has been under research ... -
SEPARATION AND ANALYSIS OF PRESERVATIVES IN SKINCARE CREAMS BY HIGH TEMPERATURE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY AND SUBCRITICAL WATER CHROMATOGRAPHY
Gujjar, Leena (East Carolina University, 2011)Preservatives are chemicals with antimicrobial activity commonly added to foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics in order to prolong products' shelf life and to protect the consumer from potential infection. Parabens, the ... -
STABILITY OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND BENZOIC ACID DERIVATIVES UNDER SUBCRITICAL WATER CONDITIONS
Lindquist, Edward J. (East Carolina University, 2011)The development of green environmental remediation, chromatography, and extraction techniques using subcritical water is the focus of our research group. The polarity of subcritical water can be manipulated by increasing ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF BETA-ACTIN MUTANTS WITH ALTERED BINDING AFFINITES FOR ATP AND ADP
Kuyateh, Abu-Bakarr (East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)A number of neurodegenerative diseases are accompanied by the formation of cofilin-actin rods in neural cells. These rods can cause synaptic dysfunction and block transport within neurites. The overall goal of this project ...
