Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of a phenolic compounds' mixture using a highly efficient TiO2/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
A nanocomposite (namely rGOTi) was prepared by loading 0.33 weight percent of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on commercial TiO2 nanoparticles using a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared nanocomposite was characterized using ...
Microalgae harvesting by pH adjusted coagulation-flocculation, recycling of the coagulant and the growth media
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Coagulation-flocculation can be considered as one of the least energy intensive microalgae biomass harvesting processes. However, cost of the coagulant and biomass contamination are two critical issues that need to be ...
Improvement in Photovoltaic Performance of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Using Activated Carbon-TiO2 Composites-Based Photoanode
(
IEEE Electron Devices Society
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the activated carbon (AC) is synthesized from the oil fly ash (FA). Noncarbonaceous impurities were eliminated by acidic treatment of oil FA. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and scanning electron microscopy ...
The influence of paraffin wax addition on the isothermal crystallization of LLDPE
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The influence of paraffin wax addition on the isothermal crystallization kinetics of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was studied in a temperature range where the wax was always in the molten state and could be ...
Improved flexible, controlled dielectric constant material from recycled LDPE polymer composites
(
Springer Nature
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, recycled low density polyethylene (RLDPE) is developed with the addition of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) to have new polymer composites. The following wt% were used of the filler (1, 4 and 6 wt%). Tensile properties, ...
Hybrid coagulation-NF membrane processes for brackish water treatment: Effect of pH and salt/calcium concentration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In order to reduce membrane fouling propensity, membrane technologies in water treatment and desalination processes have been coupled with coagulation process. However, the fouling issues still persisted. It is believed ...
A mixed iron–manganese based pyrophosphate cathode, Na2Fe0.5Mn0.5P2O7, for rechargeable sodium ion batteries
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The development of secondary batteries based on abundant and cheap elements is vital. Among various alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising due to the abundant resources ...
Drug-clay nanohybrids as sustained delivery systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Biocompatible 2-dimensional layered compounds such as clays and layered double hydroxides (anionic clays) have been explored and utilized in drug delivery system for therapeutic application because they can safely encapsulate ...
Erosive wear performance of API X42 pipeline steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The need to transport petroleum products through pipelines has resulted in the increased erosion of the pipeline materials used in the petroleum industry. In this study, dry erosion test was performed using sand blaster ...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance of aqueous tri-solvent blends containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) promoted by diethylenetriamine (DETA)
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this present research, promising aqueous amine tri-solvent blends for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture in post-combustion processes were investigated for their cyclic loadings, cyclic capacities, initial absorption rates, ...
