Abstract Chemical activation with assisted microwave irradiation was used to produced activated carbon from orange peel waste. The activating agent potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentrations of 2 M, 3 and 4 M. done for 15 minutes a 630 Watt output power. KOH concentration affected the physical properties OP-ACxM. With increasing concentration, interlayer spacing ( d 002 100 ) grew, stack height L...

Abstract Platelet shaped strontium hexaferrite (SrFe 12 O 19 ) crystallites were hydrothermally synthesized in an autoclave to study the effect of (a) Fe/Sr molar ratio, (b) choice base NaOH/KOH and (c) concentration. The influence these parameters on final product is evaluated with regards phase composition, structure magnetic properties. Rietveld refinements performed powder x-ray diffraction...

This research work investigates the application of KOH impregnated jackfruit leaf powder to remove Nickel from wastewater. The removal characteristics of Nickel from wastewater was investigated under various operating variables like contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal concentration, solution pH, temperature and stirring speed. The results showed that the KOH impregnated jackfruit leaf...

Surface texturization is well known as one of the major paths to improve the conversion efficiency of silicon solar cells by increasing the short-circuit current through the enhancement in antireflection property and effective photon trapping. Compared to the antireflection coating, it is more lasting and effective process. The anisotropic texturing of a (100) n-type monocrystalline silicon sur...

CMK-8, a mesoporous carbon material, was activated using different methods for the adsorption of low-concentration airborne formaldehyde. KOH and ammonia treatments were used to activate CMK-8. A CMK-8 sample was treated with KOH first followed by an ammonia-treatment at 700 degrees C to determine the effect of a combination of the two treatment methods. The adsorbents prepared were characteriz...

This research work investigates the efficiency of H3PO4and KOH impregnated jackfruit leaf powder based carbon as adsorbent to remove Ni from wastewater. The removal characteristics of Nickel using both the adsorbents were investigated under various operating variables like contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal concentration, solution pH, temperature and stirring speed. The results showe...

The optimization of an alkaline pretreatment process for the delignification of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) to enhance the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis was performed according to the Doehlert uniform shell design. In this experimental design, the effect of two factors—potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentration and autoclaving time at 121 C (1 atm)—on cellulose, hemicellulose, or the total polysacch...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has polarization capability and is able to accumulate electrical storage in bone. Experiments were conducted to measure the polarization capability of rabbit femurs. After preparing and polarizing bone samples using 2% KOH treatment (denoted 2% koh), 2% KOH and baking (2% koh+bake) and decalcification (decalcification) as well as untreated bone (untreated), stored charges we...
