heavily polluted wastewater from sanitary landfill presents the leachate characteristics that need special treatment and disposal. concentration of chemical oxygen demand (cod), ammonia nitrogen (nh3-n), heavy metal and other pollutant content are often larger than standard requirement after applying biological/physico-chemical treatment.thus, the combination of coagulationflocculation and chem...

Evaporation kinetics of fused silica were measured up to ≈3000K using CO(2) laser heating, while solid-gas phase chemistry of silica was assessed with hydrogen, air, and nitrogen. Enhanced evaporation in hydrogen was attributed to an additional reduction pathway, while oxidizing conditions pushed the reaction backwards. The observed mass transport limitations supported use of a near-equilibrium...

Investigations were undertaken to determine the suitability of sucrose and magnesium sulphate solutions and a silica colloidal suspension with centrifugation for extracting Tylenchulus semipenetrans from citrus roots. The efficiency of incubation, sodium hypochlorite, centrifugation, and maceration methods was also compared. Numbers of females recovered by centrifugation with colloidal silica w...

BACKGROUND Dentin surface contaminated with haemostatic agents can interfere with the bonding of self-adhesive resin cement. Therefore the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of various haemostatic agents such as Aluminium chloride, Ferric sulphate and Tannic acid on the shear bond strength of self-adhesive resin luting agent. MATERIAL AND METHODS The buccal surfaces of extracted...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the pulp medication ferric sulphate (FS) may remain on primary dentin, affecting its microchemical structure and the bond strength of adhesives to primary dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of FS and pre-bonding conditioning (37% phosphoric acid [PA] for 15 s or a self-etching primer, with or without the use of 2% chlorh...

Three periodic mesoporous materials, i.e., two organosilicas with either ethylene or phenylene bridges and one silica, have been used as supports for Pd nanoparticles. All Pd-supported samples (1.0 wt%) were prepared by the incipient wetness method and subsequently reduced in an H₂ stream at 200 °C. Both hydrogen chemisorption and temperature programmed reduction experiments revealed significan...
