Thermo-chemical conversion of plastics provides an economic flexible and environmentally friendly method to recycle waste plastics, generates valuable materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) syngas. The development catalysts is a key challenge for improving the quantity quality CNTs. In this study, spherical loaded with Ni were studied control CNTs growth using plastic feedstock. Three param...

BACKGROUND This investigation comprises a contribution on the production of a new generation biofuel using the industrial liquid waste of bioethanol distilleries, known as vinasse. This study focuses on the exploitation of vinasse as an acidogenesis substrate for volatile fatty acids and simultaneous ethanol production. These products can be used for ester production, which is the new generatio...

Alumina is one of the most widely used adsorbent for removal of dissolved pollutants from waste water. Various chemical species, especially ions, are known to be adsorbed onto alumina. On the other hand, alumina is a typical support for catalysts. Many kinds of metal supported catalysts are prepared using alumina as their support. These two roles of alumina, i.e., as adsorbent and support, are ...

in this study, the possibility of producing coal with less than 11% ash from tailings of flotation process was investigated. the effect of six flotation parameters: collector type, collector consumption, frother type, frother consumption, pulp density and mixing rate were studied on a sample from a tailing dam. a software based experimental design approach (dx7) was applied to determine and mod...

In the present study, adsorption of Co(tsPc)-4 using γ-Alumina was investigated. γ-Alumina was prepared by gel combustion method. The XRD pattern revealed that the synthesized γ-Alumina is amorphous and SEM image showed its nanosize scale while BET surface area about 501 m2/g and pore size of 7 nm implies highly porous surface which is a characteristic property of a high-quality adsorbent. In t...
