Coal liquefaction involves cleavage of methylene and dimethylene and ethertype bridges connecting polycyclic aromatic units. The selected compounds for model coal liquefaction reactions are 4-( 1-naphthylmethy1)bibenzyl (NMBB) and several oxygen-containing compounds. This report mainly describes the synthesis and screening of selected iron and molybdenum compounds as precursors of dispersed cat...

background: as fluoride concentration in drinking water is one of the effective parameters in human health, finding the ways to remove excess amount of fluoride is very important in water supply projects. this study aimed to evaluate mendon bauxite mine in the removal of fluoride from drinking water. methods: this experimental study was conducted from may to october 2013 on synthetic and actual...

In-situ synthesis of Ti-incorporated MCM-41 nano catalyst was carried out by the hydrothermal method to prepare a mesoporous catalyst for the oxidative desulfurization reaction (ODS). Oxidative reaction of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a heavy sulfur compound was evaluated in a solution of n-decane as a model of liquid fuel. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, FESEM, EDX, TEM, FTIR...

The main reasons for the fixation of some elements and consequently nutrient deficiencies, especially phosphorus, iron and zinc, are high levels of calcium (calcareous soils) and soil pH. Two sulfur fertilizers (sulfur alone and sulfur + organic material + Thiobacillus spp.) with two rates (2 and 4 kg sulfur/tree) were used to decrease soil pH and availability of P, Fe and Zn in apple trees dur...

The interaction of sulfur mustard with aminoacids and proteins has been investigated in this study. Rats were injected with sublethal doses of sulfur mustard subcutaneously and intraperitoneally. At different time intervals, plasma and urine samples were collected. The binding affinity of sulfur mustard with urinary and plasma proteins and enzymes was studied for the first time using non-i...

synthetic slag process decreases sulfur and phosphorus contents of steel, improves inclusion removal, protects steel from atmosphere and prevents temperature drop of the liquid steel in the ladle. in this study, the synthetic slags of ternary cao-al2o3-sio2,and quaternary cao-al2o3-sio2-na2o and cao-al2o3-sio2-sro systems were pre-melted and then were kept in contact with the liquid steel in a ...

Complex heat transfer phenomena (including unsteady state conduction, convection and solidification processes) occur in steel belt conveyer sulfur granulating method. Numerical simulation of this technique is performed via a comprehensive and multifaceted one dimensional model. Since the air situated between the adjacent sulfur pastilles is essentially stagnant, therefore, the surface tempe...
