An iron(II)phthalocyanine (Fepc) modified mesoporous titania (Fepc-TiO2) nanocatalyst with a specific surface area of 215 m(2) g(-1) has been synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Fepc-TiO2 degrades one of the highly toxic chemical warfare agents, sulfur mustard (SM), photocatalytically under sunlight with an exposure time of as low as 70 min. Furthermore, the mesoporous Fepc-TiO2 also captured...

SSZ-13 materials have been synthesized with varying amounts of Al to produce samples with different concentrations of Brønsted acid sites, and consequently, these SSZ-13 materials contain increasing numbers of paired Al heteroatoms with increasing Al content. These materials were then characterized and tested as catalysts for the methanol-toolefins (MTO) reaction at 400 °C and 100% methanol con...

Over 20 years of scholarship suggests that living in America’s poorest and most dangerous communities diminishes the life course development of children and adults. In the 1990s, the dire conditions of some of these neighborhoods, especially those with large public housing developments, prompted significant policy responses. In addition to the demolition and redevelopment of some of the project...

At the Galician coast, mussels are cultured on vertical ropes attached to floating rafts, which are cleaned in situ with tars or waterproof paints. The present study analyses the com position and the toxic risk of several compounds used during maintenance, in order to improve mussel-farming practices. The toxic risk was determined in relation to that of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) by calculating the c...

Silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-34 molecular sieve nanocrystals have been prepared by a post-synthesis milling and recrystallization method, which is further proven to be universally applicable to other SAPO molecular sieves. The obtained SAPO-34 with reduced Si enrichment on the external surface shows considerably improved catalytic performance in the MTO reaction.

Abstract Multiobjective multitasking optimization (MTO) is an emerging research topic in the field of evolutionary computation, which has attracted extensive attention, and many (EMT) algorithms have been proposed. One core issues, designing efficient transfer strategy, scarcely explored. Keeping this mind, paper first attempt to design strategy based on multidirectional prediction method. Spec...

Make-to-order (MTO) is becoming vital for meeting ever-changing customer requirements. Growing demand customized items has been linked to a rise in the proportion of MTO businesses. Many sectors and product categories have implemented concept achieved competitive edge sustainable manufacturing. However, case automobile sector, little work carried out, both research practice. In this study, our ...

Submitted for the MAR14 Meeting of The American Physical Society Chirally Selective Growth of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube on Fe13 Nanocatalyst 1 ANTENEH TEFERA, MOGUS MOCHENA, Florida A&M University — Controlled growth of single walled carbon nanotubes with desired chiral indices remains the holy grail of single walled carbon nanotube synthesis. We performed ab initio molecular dynamics calcu...
