Thermochemical splitting of CO2 using solution combustion synthesized lanthanum-strontium-anganese perovskites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Redox reactivity of La(1-x)SrxMnO3 (LSM) perovskites towards a solar thermochemical CO2 splitting (CS) cycle is investigated. The LSM perovskites are synthesized via a solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method using glycine ...
Effect of expanded graphite on the phase change materials of high density polyethylene/wax blends
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Phase change materials fabricated from high density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with 40 or 50 wt% commercial wax (melting point of 43.08�C) and up to 15 wt% expanded graphite (EG) were studied. Techniques including scanning ...
Controllably coated graphene oxide particles with enhanced compatibility with poly(ethylene-co-propylene) thermoplastic elastomer for excellent photo-mechanical actuation capability
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
This paper reports the utilization of the controllable coating via SI-ATRP technique as a promising approach for controlling stimuli-responsive capabilities of graphene oxide (GO) based nanocomposites. Various polymer ...
Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Oil contaminated water is one of the challenges in water resources management. It is crucial to remove the oil droplets from water in order to meet the discharge regulations set by the environmental authorities. Carbon ...
Effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) on the sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride-based resistive humidity sensors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
We have investigated the effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) on the thermal stability, hydrophilicity, and sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films based resistive humidity sensors. The blended ...
Co-pyrolysis of polyolefin mixtures and oil palm fibre for the production of liquid fuel: kinetics and thermodynamic study
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Studies on the co-pyrolysis of plastic waste and biomass to obtain sustainable liquid fuel, while reducing the amount of unwanted plastics and agricultural solid residues, have gained global attention recently. The purpose ...
Physicochemical properties and combustion kinetics of food waste derived hydrochars
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In this work, simulated food waste (15% white bread, 15% palm dates (without seeds), 5% boiled egg (without shells), 20% spent tea leaves, 20% spent coffee ground, and 25% banana peel in parts weight) was subjected to ...
Pyrolysis of Canarium schweinfurthii hard-shell: Thermochemical characterisation and pyrolytic kinetics studies
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Canarium schweinfurthii fruit used in food and cosmetics produces waste nuts with a hard shell (hard-shell) and kernel. The hard-shell contained lignin and holocellulose, besides 51.99 wt% carbon, 6.0 wt% hydrogen, 41.68 wt% ...
Thermogravimetric kinetics study of scrap tires pyrolysis using silica embedded with NiO and/or MgO nanocataly
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, a set of three new silica-based embedded with NiO and/or MgO nanocatalysts (SBNs) have been prepared and tested for the pyrolysis of scrap tires (STs). The intent is to identify and optimize the best ...
