Assessment of Emissions from and Exposures in Wood Processing Industries

Effect of Dates Extracts as Environmentally Friendly Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel in 1M HCl Solution

Inhibitory effect of extracts from three date varieties namely khalt (kha), Lassiane (La) and Tadmamt (Td)), and the mixture of date varieties as environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1M HCl is studied by means of electrochemical tests such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and Tafel polarization. It's been obtained that in 1.0 M HCl solution the date e...

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY HYBRID NANOCOMPOSITE COATING

In this research, a kind of environmentally-friendly inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposite coating based on silica containing titania/silica core/shell nanoparticles was synthesized and characterized for conservation of facade tiles in historical buildings. The matrix of the composite was prepared by sol-gel process via two methods of ultrasonic and reflux stirring. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (T...

Natural Cork Agglomerate Employed as an Environmentally Friendly Solution for Quiet Sandwich Composites

Carbon fiber-synthetic foam core sandwich composites are widely used for many structural applications due to their superior mechanical performance and low weight. Unfortunately these structures typically have very poor acoustic performance. There is increasingly growing demand in mitigating this noise issue in sandwich composite structures. This study shows that marrying carbon fiber composites...
