Inverse caustic problem, that is computing the geometry of a reflector and/or refractor based on a given caustic pattern, is currently not widely studied. In this paper, we propose a technique to solve the inverse caustic problem in which we compute the geometry of a semi-transparent homogeneous refractive object (caustic object) given a directional light source and a set of caustic patterns (e...

Abstract In this manuscript, efficiency of the used organic solvent for recovering, separating and producing highly purified zirconium oxide from chloride leach liquor Rosetta white zircon concentrate was investigated. Zircon mineral thermally decomposed with caustic soda, cooled, washed distilled water then dissolved in hydrochloric acid. Zirconium extraction reached 91.4% using 10% bis-(2-eth...

Pulping using organic solvents is an alternative to kraft pulping and can reduce environmental pollutants. Ethanol a potential cooking liquor, as it improves the penetration of chemical due its low surface tension, be recovered via distillation. The structure alpha-cellulose content need controlled during bleaching processes prepare dissolving pulp. Therefore, effect ethanol on efficiency caust...

OBJECTIVES To investigate 4 loci of 3 HSP70 genes in caustic soda production plant former workers, who have been exposed to metallic mercury vapors for a long time, and including numerous cases of chronic mercury intoxication (CMI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Polymorphisms in HSP70 gene family members (HSP1A1 (+190G/C, rs1043618), HSPA1B (+1267A/G and +2074G/C, rs1061581) and HSP1AL (+2437T/C, rs22...
