Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is an approach for the direct catalytic conversion of methane to higher hydrocarbons, which is currently being investigated at the Berlin Institute of Technology within the cluster of excellence UniCat (Unifying Concepts of Catalysis). Hereby, the conversion to ethylene is the major goal of the process. In the downstreaming process subsequent to the OCM react...

Toluene removal by electro-scrubbing was carried out in facilities that operate continuous mode, comparing the performance of packed column and jet electro-scrubber systems, both terms retention absorbent electrochemical degradation. It found about half toluene air flow is retained only absorption. The showed better degradation, while mixing device highest concentrations electrolyte/absorbent, ...

decreasing water loss and increasing the irrigation times are basic methods to develop agriculture, success in natural recourse projects, minimize the stress to planted bushes in natural fields and increase the productivity of soil and water sources. the use of super absorbent is one of these strategies to achieve these goals. the main purpose of this research was to study the effect of super a...

BACKGROUND Potent inhaled anesthetics degrade in the presence of the strong bases (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) in carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbents. A new absorbent, Amsorb (Armstrong Medical Ltd., Coleraine, Northern Ireland), does not employ these strong bases. This study compared the scavenging efficacy and compound A production of two commercially available absorbents (soda lime ...

The purpose of the study was to develop a facile method for the fabrication of a stable and reusable magnetic graphene composite absorbent to remove trace levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in water treatment. The poly cationic Fe₃O₄@PDDA (poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA)) core-shell structured nanoparticles were first synthesized, and then, DNA was laid on the surface of gr...

Phase diffractive optical elements, which have many interesting applications, are usually fabricated using a photoresist. In this paper, they were made using a hybrid optic-digital system and a photopolymer as recording medium. We analyzed the characteristics of the input and recording light and then simulated the generation of blazed gratings with different spatial periods in different types o...

BACKGROUND Guidelines on urinary incontinence recommend that absorbent products are only used as a coping strategy pending definitive treatment, as an adjunct to ongoing therapy, or for long-term management after all treatment options have been explored. However, these criteria are rarely met and a significant share of long-term product users could still benefit from therapeutic interventions r...

recently, the demands for the production of many different types of plastic wastes are greatly growing that subsequently, lead to the serious challenges in environmental considerations. since, these materials are rarely resolved by microorganisms, hence, their recycling to the useful materials is crucial. in the present study, we used a solution electrospinning technique to synthesize nano/micr...
