Adami from Ballestra S.p.A. (Italy) by communications received. Same wish to thank
COLCIENCIAS (Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación) for
providing financial support. The experimental work presented here was finished at 2009 in
the Chemical Engineering Laboratory from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Colombia),
under the direction from Professor Francisco J. Sánchez C. Dr. Paulo C. Narváez R., Dr.
Oscar Y. Suárez P. and MSc. Luis A. Díaz A. assisted with the experiments.
