    Description / Table of Contents: The book contains a comprehensive review of literature and patent survey concerning olive processing waste. Over 1,000 citations are presented. Wastes considered include olive cultivation solid waste, wastes arising from classical, three- and two-phase olive mills and wastes generated during table olive processing. In addition, information is presented concerning the management of spent olive oil (e.g. from cooking). The book is divided into five parts. Part I presents background information concerning the characterization of olive processing wastes, their environmental impacts if disposed untreated and the effect of utilised olive-mill technology on the quantity and quality of generated wastes. Part II presents physical, thermal, physico-chemical, biological and combined or miscellaneous processes for treating olive-mill wastes. Part III concerns information on utilization of such wastes with or without prior treatment. Part IV concentrates on table olive processing waste and presents information regarding its characterization, treatment and uses. Part V presents an economical and legislative overview regarding olive-mill waste. The book contains a bibliography, glossary of terms used in the text, subject, patent and author indices as well as pertinent internet sites and authorities. *Complete coverage of all available literature and patents concerning olive processing waste including economic and legislative issues *Critical review of up to date utilized processes concerning treatment and uses of such wastes *Determination of research needs for further utilization of such wastes.

    Notes: The effects of γ-irradiation and aging on pharmaceutical NR compounds have been studied mainly by DSC. The extent of aging was measured quantitatively by enthalpy changes and peak temperature shifts of the primary oxidation exotherm. Quantitative thermal evaluations were supplemented by extraction tests and mechanical testing. The NR compound formula has been kept constant and only the type and concentration of antioxidant was varied. Two distinct phenolic antioxidants, BHT and Wingstay-L at four different concentration levels, have been employed for this purpose. The most effective antioxidant package for a given elastomeric compound, subjected to γ-irradiation and aging, giving the lowest changes in physical properties, is evaluated. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the present study, the dose-rate effects of γ-irradiation in air on two isotactic polypropylene grades of different molecular weight distribution, used for medical devices, were investigated. The thermal, mechanical, rheological, and photometric properties of these materials were examined using DSC, stress-strain measurements, MFI, and a yellow index. At low dose rates (0.12 Mrad/h), the oxygen diffusion parameter prevailed. At high dose rates (2.84 Mrad/h), the thermal degradation became dominant. However, at high dose rates, an increase in sample temperature was monitored. This temperature rise is thought to increase the oxygen diffusion rate, peroxide decomposition, and radical migration. As a result, intermediate dose rates (in the region of 0.72 Mrad/h) gave the lowest changes in physical properties in both samples. Furthermore, it was found that the polypropylene grade of broader molecular weight distribution and lower Mn had a higher γ-irradiation and postirradiation resistance. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
