unmodified zeolites show little affinity for anions due to the fact that their surfaces are negatively charged. however modification of zeolites with amines turns their negative surface charge to positive and creating higher adsorption capacity for anions. in this study, polyaniline-clinoptilolite composite was prepared by polymerization of anilinium on the surface of zeolite. the composite was...

Dihydroquercetin is a kind of dihydroflavonol compounds with antioxidant, antitumor, antivirus and radioresistance activities. This study attempted to produce the dihydroquercetin complexes with lecithin and β-cyclodextrin, and research their characteristics and bioactivities via ultraviolet spectrum (UV), infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning cal...

the main objective of this project was to investigate the behavior and the damaging effects of hot tear segregationsin the continuously cast steel blooms on the final product quality. to achieve this aim, plant data from three differenttypes of steels were used. investigations using the scanning electron microscope (sem) equipped with energydispersive x-ray spectroscopy (eds) probe and metallog...

In the present study, synthesis, characterization, and the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles from native isolate of Corynebacterium glutamicum has been reported. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by challenging the dried biomass of C. glutamicum with aqueous diamine silver ([Ag (NH3)2]+) containing 1 mM AgNO3. Synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were characterized by ultra...

The electrochemical behavior of copper electrode in 2M potassium sulfide solution was studied using cyclic voltammograms and potentiostatic polarization techniques. The morphology studies were applied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) and X-ray powder diffraction. Three anodic peaks were observed in the anodic scan of cyclic voltammograms. ...

J. L. Gao, Y. Zhi, X. F. Ren, Y. H. Liu, College of Material Science and Engineering, Shenyang Ligong University, Shenyang, Liaoning, China. Barium titanate (B aTiO3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by using a surfactant-assisted method. The various processing parameters, namely, th e species of surfactant, reaction temperature and micro-emusion concentration had been varied, and th...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rosin upon fixing boron in Styrax tonkinensis (Piere) wood treated with mixtures of 3% boric acid and 1% rosin sizing agent. After treatment, wood samples were also analyzed by scanning electron microscope observation and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The results showed that all boron-rosin formulations impregnated Styrax ton...

Graphene sheets have been exfoliated from bulk graphite using high energy wet milling in two different solvents that were 2-ethylhexanol and kerosene. The milling process was performed for 60 h using a planetary ball mill. Morphological characteristics were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). On the other hand, the structural charact...

Nanocrystalline zeolite has received significant attention in the catalysis community. Zeolites with a crystal size smaller than 100 nm are the potential replacement for existing zeolite catalysts due to its unique features with added advantages. Zeolite FAU type Y is one of the most studied framework of all zeolites, and has been used as catalysts for number of reactions in the refinery and pe...
