Polystyrene (PS) nanospheres with a monodisperse size distribution, positive surface charge and high molecular weight were successfully synthesized using various types of metal stearates in an aqueous NaOH medium. The diameter of the PS nanospheres was controlled from 80 to 450 nm by changing the type of metal stearate. It was also found that controlling the NaOH concentration in solution was i...

−− The objective of this work was to synthesize zeolitic products using rice husk ash (RHA) as silicon source. For the synthesis, two mineralizing agents: NaOH and KOH were tested. Chemical composition of the synthesized samples as well as their cation exchange capacity (CEC) were determined. The samples were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ...

application of hyperactivation process in palletizing iron ore, in order to decrease bentoniteconsumption has been investigated. different amounts of bentonite and sodium hydroxide, as activating agents,were added to iron ore and the quality of formed pellets were determined. the results show that addition of 0.01pct. naoh improves the pellet quality significantly while the bentonite content re...

to investigate the optimum conditions for extracting gelatin from whitecheek shark (carcharhinus dussumieri (skin, response surface methodology (rsm) has been adopted. in this research, the effect of naoh concentration (0.01-1 n), hcl concentration (0.01-1 n), and extraction time (3-8 h) on dependent variables, yield and melting point of the skin gelatin have been studied using central composit...

background; water treatment sometimes needs a coagulation and flocculation process to remove suspended and colloidal materials. inorganic coagulants used create concerns about pollution of the environment and harmful effects on the human’s health. the studies carried out previously indicated the capability of an active coagulant agent extracted from descurainia sophia seed to remove turbidity o...

paper recycling in an increasingly environmentally conscious world is gaining importance. withrapid developments in deinking processes for the reuse of secondary fibers being made, therecycling process is become more and more efficient. this work investigated the effect ofchemical different treatments including h2o2 and naoh on repulping and flotation operationsduring the deinking of laser prin...

A co-precipitation method was used for synthesis of pure MgTiO3 ceramic powder with Mg(NO3)2.6H2O, TiCl4 or C12H28O4Ti and NaOH as raw materials. In this method, solutions of 1 M, Mg (NO3)2 6H2O and 2 M, NaOH were prepared. A stoichiometric amount of Ti precursors from TiCl4 or C12H28O4Ti was weighted. Solutions of Mg (NO3)2. 6H2O and Ti precursor were added dropwise to NaOH solution unde...
