Synthesis, characterization and electrocatalytic activity for ethanol oxidation of carbon supported Pt, Pt-Rh, Pt-SnO2 and Pt-Rh-SnO2 nanoclusters
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2009)
Nanoclusters of Pt, Pt-Rh, Pt-SnO2 and Pt-Rh-SnO2 were successfully synthesized by polyol method and deposited on high-area carbon. HIRTEM and XRD analysis revealed two phases in the ternary Pt-Rh-SnO2/C catalyst: solid ...
Biosorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by short hemp fibers: Effect of chemical composition
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2009)
Sorption potential of waste short hemp fibers for Pb2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions from aqueous media was explored. In order to assess the influence of hemp fiber chemical composition on their heavy metals sorption potential, ...
Determination of glass temperature of polymers by inverse gas chromatography
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2008)
Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) is an attractive technique for polymer characterization due to possible simultaneous determination of various physicochemical properties of polymer systems merely from retention times of ...
Analysis of the effects of catalytic bleaching on cotton
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2007)
Hydrogen peroxide can be catalyzed to bleach cotton fibers at temperatures as low as 30 degrees C by incorporating dinuclear tri-mu-oxo bridged manganese(IV) complex of the ligand 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane ...
Corrosion stability of epoxy coatings on aluminum pretreated by vinyltriethoxysilane
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2008)
The electrochemical and transport properties and adhesion of epoxy coatings electrodeposited on aluminum pretreated by vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) were investigated during exposure to 3% NaCl. The VTES films were deposited ...
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of sesquiterpenes from valerian root
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of sesquiterpenes from valerian root was investigated. Extractions from cultivar Arterner zuctung and two wild grown valerian subspecies were performed. The influence of extraction ...
Re-refining of waste mineral insulating oil by extraction with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2006)
Extraction with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) via the three-stage mixer-settler operation was studied as possible process for re-refining of waste mineral insulating oil. The following extraction process parameters were ...
Oxygen reduction on a duplex stainless steel
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 1998)
O-2 reduction on duplex stainless steel was investigated in neutral and alkaline solutions with and without the presence of chloride ions. All polarization curves showed hysteresis with higher reaction rate in positive ...
A novel approach to determination of carbonyl groups in DMAc/LiCl-insoluble pulps by fluorescence labeling
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2006)
The CCOA method for profiling of carbonyl groups by fluorescence labeling has meanwhile become an established procedure for dissolving pulps and rag papers. High molecular weight pulps, such as certain paper pulps, could ...
Prediction of the Lee retention indices of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by artificial neural network
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2006)
A quantitative structure retention relationship technique using an artificial neural network (ANN) has been used for the prediction of the Lee retention indices for PAHs on SE-52 and DB-5 stationary phases. The selected ...
