KINETIC STUDIES OF VULCANIZATION BY OSCILLATING DISK RHEOMETER

Local measurements of viscoelastic moduli of entangled actin networks using an oscillating magnetic bead micro-rheometer.

A magnetically driven bead micro-rheometer for local quantitative measurements of the viscoelastic moduli in soft macromolecular networks such as an entangled F-actin solution is described. The viscoelastic response of paramagnetic latex beads to external magnetic forces is analyzed by optical particle tracking and fast image processing. Several modes of operation are possible, including analys...

New methodology to follow the evolution of squalene by-products during model compound vulcanization studies.

In this work, a new analytical methodology is proposed to separate squalene from its by-products after vulcanization, using reverse phase liquid chromatography. Regarding previous methods described in literature, the separation between reaction products and their detection have been clearly improved. A light scattering detector has been coupled to the HPLC equipment substituting the traditional...

KINETIC STUDIES FOR GOLD LEACHING OF A REFRACTORY SULFIDE CONCENTRATE BY CHLORIDE–HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION

In this paper, gold leaching of a refractory sulfide concentrate by chloride–hypochlorite solution was investigated and effects of stirring speed, temperature and particle size on the leaching rate were reported. Experimental data for leaching rate of gold were analyzed with the shrinking–core model. Results were consistent with chemical reaction control mechanism in the first 1 h of leachin...

Physical Chemistry Studies of Acid Dye Removal from Aqueous Media by Mesoporous Nano Composite: Adsorption Isotherm, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies

In this research, SBA-15/Polypyrrole (SBA-15/PPy) mesoporous nanocomposite was synthesized, characterized and applied for Acid Blue 62 (AB62) adsorption as a textile dye from aqueous solution. In order to evaluate the structural properties of synthesized adsorbent, FT-IR, FESEM and TEM images, XRD, and BET techniques were applied. Some parameters such as pH, dosage, and time which affect the ba...
