A batch experiment was conducted to compare the Cu scavenging capacity between two different red mud types: the first one was a highly basic red mud derived from a combined sintering and Bayer process, and the second one was a seawater-neutralized red mud derived from the Bayer process. The first red mud contained substantial amounts of CaCO3, which, in combination with the high OH activity, fa...

a palladium composite membrane was prepared via electroless plating technique using organic-inorganic method during activation process. the ceramic support surface was modified by two tio2-boehmite and one γ-alumina layers to avoid pd penetration in support pores. thin and defect-free pd composite membrane was obtained by creating a relative smoothness on the ceramic support and using pd nanopa...

Colloidal gels are formed by the aggregation of Brownian particles into clusters that are, in turn, part a space-spanning percolated network. In practice, microstructure colloidal gels, which dictates their mechanical properties, strongly depends on particle concentration and nature interactions. Yet another critical control parameter is shear history experienced sample, controls size density c...

With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, fast charging lithium (Li) batteries is attracting attention. However, rapid decline in battery capacity caused by and accidents Li dendrites piercing separator greatly restrict fast-charging applications. Herein, an electrospun polyacrylonitrile/polyvinylidene fluoride/boehmite (PAN/PVDF/12 wt.% AlO(OH)) gel polymer polyethylene oxide/polyvi...

A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active structure allows the highly sensitive imaging of label-free molecular trace. gold nanostructure with boehmite as a skeleton was fabricated by inclined magnetron sputtering method. The characteristics prepared SERS plate consisting on were evaluated follows. distance dependence intensity 4,4′-bipyridine from edge substrate indicated that larger b...
