      Dhar, Priyanka; Chernyshova, Irina; Thornhill, Maria; Roelants, Sophie; Soetaert, Wim; Kota, Hanumantha Rao (Chapter, 2021)
      Yeast-derived amphiboles have attracted considerable attention for their applications in various industrial sectors. However, only a few studies on this class of surfactant have been reported to be relevant to mineral ...
    • Covalent binding between chitin and protein 

      Van de Vyver, Elise (Master thesis, 2015)
      Chitin is one of the most abundant biopolymers on Earth. The polysaccharide is a linear polymer of β 1,4 linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues. As a structural biopolymer, chitin is mainly occurring in animals with an ...
    • Linking molecular structures of yeast-derived biosurfactants with their foaming, interfacial, and flotation properties 

      Dhar, Priyanka; Thornhill, Maria; Roelants, Sophie; Soetaert, Wim; Chernyshova, Irina V.; Kota, Hanumantha Rao (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Yeast-derived bola amphiphiles have attracted growing attention in various industrial sectors as green reagents. However, their physico-chemical properties relevant to mineral separation by froth flotation are poorly ...
    • Toward Green Flotation: Interaction of a Sophorolipid Biosurfactant with a Copper Sulfide 

      Dhar, Priyanka; Havskjold, Håkon; Thornhill, Maria; Roelants, Sophie; Soetaert, Wim; Kota, Hanumantha Rao; Chernyshova, Irina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals have sparked growing interest in biosurfactants from many surfactant-loaded industries including those utilizing froth flotation for mineral separation. However, the ...
