large reserves of coal in tabas region of iran are characterized by low ash and high caking index, suitable for use in metallurgy as coking coal. however, these coals cannot be gainfully utilized because of their high sulfur content. in this work, studies on desulfurization of tabas coals were carried out in a batch reactor using various reagents. the most effective reagents, fe2(so4)3 , fecl3 ...

performance of structures during recent earthquakes shows that the effect of vertical component of earthquake (vce) could be considered as one of the main causes of bridges collapse. in most of bridge design codes, for seismic analysis of bridges, vce is not taken into account or a distinguished method isn’t presented for assessment of vce. in the present work, the effect of vce on two existing...

tabas mines in iran have coal sources which are suitable for use in metallurgy industries as coking coal. but the high sulfur content of this coal imposes severe limitations on its utilization as the sulfur oxide gases evolved from the combustion of high sulfur coals result in acid rains and corrosion of equipments. in this work, attempts have been made to reduce sulfur from high sulfur coal of...

over the last two decades there have been numerous reports from different seismically active regions of the world that thermal infrared (tir) anomalies can be identified around the epicentral areas before major earthquakes [e.g. (tronin et al., 2002)]. the tir anomalies reportedly appear as early as 14 to 7 days before the seismic events and affect areas as large as 1000s to 100,000s km2 in siz...
