Fe3O4-containing cotton-like mesoporous silica system (Fe3O4@NCSM) was studied with regard to its performance towards the photodecolorization of bromothymol blue (BTB) aqueous solution. The surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM and TEM. The N2 Adso...

In this paper, the adverse effects of variation in operating temperature, on the performance of PM sensors and actuators used in aerospace and military applications, and methods to provide inherent temperature compensation by design, are presented. Unlike the conventional shunt compensation, the proposed method uses the direct leakage path between two neighboring permanent magnets. This novel m...

Introduction: Prior to the discovery of H2O dissolved in the picritic lunar glass beads [1], models for the eruption of lunar picritic magmas involved both a column of melt extending deep into the lunar mantle, and a gas-assisted lift of the magma to achieve explosive eruption [2,3,4,5]. In a H-free moon, first gas phase formation would have involved the oxidation of reduced C (graphite) to pro...

ponding of unsaturated soils and the final resulted redox conditions, cause different chemical and electrochemical changes. redox potential is one of the most effective factors in determination of chemical properties of ponded soils; as by influencing dissolution and sedimentation of minerals and the activity and uptake of soil nutrients. the study site with an extension area of area about 10 h...

In this research we have developed a treatment method for textile wastewater by TiO2/SiO2-based magnetic nanocomposite. Textile wastewater includes a large variety of dyes and chemicals and needs treatments. This manuscript presents a facile method for removing dyes from the textile wastewater by using TiO2/SiO2-based nanocomposite (Fe3O<su...

The soot oxidation activity of metallic iron nanoparticles was studied under real diesel engine conditions. Particulate matter (PM) was sampled at distinct temperatures, using fuels containing ferrocene. The results indicated an 80% reduction of accumulated PM using fuels doped with 50 ppm ferrocene at a temperature of 460 ◦C. Temperature-programmed catalytic oxidation tests indicated that PM o...

Hydrogen has been thought to be an important light element in Earth's core due to possible siderophile behavior during core-mantle segregation. We reproduced planetary differentiation conditions using hydrogen contents of 450 to 1500 parts per million (ppm) in the silicate phase, pressures of 5 to 20 GPa, oxygen fugacity varying within IW-3.7 and IW-0.2 (0.2 to 3.7 log units lower than iron-wüs...

Nanoscale, zero-valent iron is a promising reagent for in situ reduction of a variety of subsurface contaminants, but its utility in full-scale remediation projects is limited by material costs. Iron nanoparticles (20-100 nm diameter) supported on carbon (C-Fe0) were synthesized by reacting iron salts, adsorbed or impregnated from aqueous solutions onto 80 m2/g carbon black, at 600-800 degrees ...

Plants and plant extracts (PPEs) have gained increasing interest as feed additives and possible replacing antibiotics for pig productions. The effects of dietary Chlorella vulgaris (1%), sodium alginate (0.1%), inulin (1.5%), and a mixture of essential oils (0.04%) supplements on immune response, and bioavailability of some micronutrients (iron − Fe, copper − Cu, manganese − Mn, and zinc − Zn) ...
