The extractive separation of tellurium (IV) from hydrochloric acid media with tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in kerosene was investigated. The dependence on the extraction of tellurium species, concentrations of tellurium and TBP, extraction time and stage, organic/aqueous ratio, and interferences from coexist metallic ions were examined and are discussed. Besides, the stripping agent and strippin...

We present an architecture for structuring and querying the contents of a set of documents which belong to an organization. The structure is a database which is semi-automatically populated using information extraction techniques. We provide an ontology-based language to interrogate the contents of the documents. The processing of queries in this language can give approximate answers and trigge...

A novel CMPO (carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide) based task specific ionic liquid (TSIL) with an NTf(2)(-) counter anion was synthesized and evaluated for actinide/lanthanide extraction from acidic feed solutions using several room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The extraction data were compared with those obtained with CMPO in the same set of RTILs and also in the molecular diluent, n-dodecan...

Vacuum slot extraction is becoming more popular In textile wet processing because of its energy efficiency and other economic benefits. The baric princlples of vacuum slot extraction are reviewed. The function of the components of a vacuum extractor and the mechanism of liquid removal from the fabric are discussed. The effects of the most important variables controlling the final water content ...

This paper presents an information extraction system that processes the textual content of classiied newspaper advertisements in French. The system uses both lexical (words, regular expressions) and contextual information to structure the content of the ads on the basis of predeened thematic forms. The paper rst describes the enhanced tagging mechanism used for extraction. A quantitative evalua...

Stable isotopic analysis of water in plant, soil, and hydrological studies often requires the extraction of water from plant or soil samples. Cryogenic vacuum extraction is one of the most widely used and accurate extraction methods to obtain such water samples. Here, we present a new design of a cryogenic vacuum extraction system with 18 extraction slots and an innovative mechanism to aerate t...

this study presents the natural dye recovery from various biodegradable temple and household wastes. the raw material for colour extraction consisted residual flowers and garlands from various temples as well as onion and vegetables peels from vegetable markets, university hostels, and households, which were washed, dried, crushed, and sieved. the extracted natural colours were produced by mean...
