Calcium carbonate particles were synthesized and loaded with a mixture of two corrosion inhibitors, triethanolamine (TEA) and polyethylenimine (PEI). These particles can serve as pH-sensitive additives in epoxy coatings ...

This research work focuses on the synthesis and performance evaluation of NaFexCr1-X(SO4)2 (X = 0, 0.8 and 1.0) cathode materials in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). The novel materials having a primary particle size of around ...

This work aims at investigating the self-healing ability of epoxy coatings, modified with microcapsules containing highly reactive isocyanate in their core. Highly efficient, thermally and chemically stable isophorone ...

Abstract Ni-Co-TiO2 nano-composite coatings were electroplated on mild steel by adding transparent TiO2 sol (0-50 mL/L) into the Ni-Co plating solution. The microstructure, mechanical property and corrosion resistance of ...

Microbial electrochemical system (MES) technology has been widely investigated for organic degradation. However, the removal of recalcitrant organic contaminants containing halogen-, nitro-, or azo-groups remains a great ...

Optimization of the continuous fermentation process is important for increasing efficiency and decreasing cost, especially for complicated biochemical processes described by substrate and product inhibition. The optimum ...

Waste minimization in reactor design is an effective approach for pollution control, when compared to the traditional practice of the end-of-pipe treatment. Reactor degree of backmixing and operating conditions are important ...

Lanthanum-based perovskites (LaMnxCo1-xO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)) were synthesized using a solution combustion synthesis technique with variable ratios of Co and Mn to investigate the surface property and electrocatalytic characteristics ...

Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) that contains recalcitrant components as the major portion of constituents is difficult to treat by conventional biological processes. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) which also produce ...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are environmentally friendly devices which are used to convert chemical energy in organic wastes to electrical energy. MFCs have a strong non-linearity that requires a very sophisticated controlling ...
