Adsorption of arsenate on iron(III) oxide coated ethylenediamine functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
New criteria in assessing the quality of drinking water reduced the maximum permissible concentration of arsenic from 50 mu g L-1 to 10 mu g L-1 and set a requirement for the development of new technologies for arsenic ...
Decrease of free fatty acid content in vegetable oil using silica supported ferric sulfate catalyst
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
A difficulty of biodiesel synthesis based on alkaline catalysts obviously exists if free fatty acids (FFAs) content in vegetable oil is above 0.5 wt.%. In this study, the ferric sulfate supported on silica (Fe-2(SO4)(3)/SiO2) ...
On the role of working fluid properties in Organic Rankine Cycle performance
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The performance of ORC systems strongly depends on working fluid properties. We explore the relationships between working fluid properties and ORC common economic and thermodynamic performance criteria from a theoretical ...
Photodegradation of an azo pyridone dye using TiO2 films prepared by the spray pyrolysis method
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
In this study, the feasibility of preparing porous TiO2 films on a stainless steel substrate from a hydrothermally prepared colloidal TiO2 solution by the spray pyrolysis technique is presented. The prepared samples were ...
Antibacterial activity of heavy metal-loaded natural zeolite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2012)
The antibacterial activity of natural zeolitized tuffs containing 2.60 wt.% Cu2+, 1.47 Zn2+ or 0.52 Ni2+ were tested. Antibacterial activities of the zeolites against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were tested ...
Viscoelastic properties and antimicrobial activity of cellulose fiber sheets impregnated with Ag nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
A silver nanoparticle colloid was prepared by a modified Tollens method using D-glucose as the reduction agent. The obtained nanoparticles were used for the modification of pine, linter and recycled cellulose fibers. ...
Surface Analysis and Electrochemical Behavior of Aluminum Pretreated by Vinyltriethoxysilane Films in Mild NaCl Solution
(Electrochemical Soc Inc, Pennington, 2012)
Electrochemical characteristics, composition and surface morphology of vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) coatings on aluminum were investigated. The silane coatings were deposited chemically, by immersion in 2 and 5% VTES, and ...
Fabrication and antibacterial properties of ZnO-alginate nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
Alginate was used as a controlled environment for the growth of ZnO nanoparticles. The formation of nanostructured particles was confirmed by a blue shift in the onset of the optical absorption with respect to bulk ZnO. ...
Functionalization of cotton with poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel. Part I. Stimuli-responsive moisture management properties
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
Stimuli-responsive microgel, based on synthetic polymer (poly-NiPAAm) and biopolymer (chitosan), was incorporated onto cotton fabric surface by pad-dry-cure method using 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) as ...
Targeting and design of industrial zone waste heat reuse for combined heat and power generation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The basic materials industry contributes significantly to global energy demand. The efficient utilization of energy in these industries is essential to sustainable development. In numerous emerging countries, such industrial ...
