It is accepted that the efficiency of sugar cane clarification is closely linked with sugar juice composition (including suspended or insoluble impurities), the inorganic phosphate content, the liming condition and type, and the interactions between the juice components. These interactions are not well understood, particularly those between calcium, phosphate, and sucrose in sugar cane juice. S...

Investigations were conducted on a series of calcium and lanthanum oxides catalyst for biodiesel production. Mixed oxides catalyst showed a superior transesterification activity over pure calcium or pure lanthanum oxide catalysts. The catalyst activity was correlated with surface basicity and specific surface areas. The effects of water and free fatty acids (FFA) levels in oil feedstock, water ...

Ash sintering is an essential factor for the competitiveness of biomass gasification. Compared to conventional air gasification, gasification temperature reduced in auto thermal as utilisation compensation CaO carbonation reaction, which ultimately could suppress extent ash sintering. This work firstly investigated inhibition effect this process on simulated ashes (silica, potassium oxide and a...

Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4), one of the major forms zinc in electric arc furnace dust and leaching residue, is very difficult to chemically dissolve either acidic or alkaline solutions. It therefore necessary study extraction from achieve full recovery resources. In this paper, CaO was used degrade structure then ammonia method applied recover zinc. The thermodynamic analysis indicated that could re...

AbstractESW as a natural byproduct, although non-hazardous and contains calcium, magnesium carbonate and protein, is commonly disposed in landfills without any pretreatment because it was traditionally useless. In this regards, we wish to report the synthesis of a novel CaO/Ca2Fe2O5 nanocomposite based on ESW. At the first, eggshell (ES) nanopowder was prepared by ball-milling. Then, the ...

Structures of calcium peroxide (CaO2) are investigated in the pressure range 0-200 GPa using the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At 0 GPa, there are several CaO2 structures very close in enthalpy, with the ground-state structure dependent on the choice of exchange-correlation functional. Further stable structures for CaO2 wit...

background: antibiotic resistant bacteria can be considered as a main problem in infection management. zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps), individually or in combination with antibiotics, can be considered as good candidates for struggling against drug resistant bacteria. methods: in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel method in low temperature as a cost effectiv...

Due to the high cost of feedstock and catalyst in biodiesel production, viability industry has been dependent on government subsidies or tax incentives. In order reduce food wastes including eggshells oyster shells have used prepare calcium oxide (CaO) catalysts for transesterification reaction synthesis. The were calcined at 1000 °C 4 hours obtain CaO powders which investigated as waste cookin...

in order to prevent water losses through disposing hydrous sludge during treatment of water, also recovery and reuse of chemicals; treatment by magnesium carbonate as a coagulant was examined in batch and continuous systems. 600 mg/1 mgco3 as optimum dosage reduced 80% turbidity of a highly turbid water containing 200 ntu. sulfates decreased, but hardness and alkalinity showed some increases. r...
