Different phases of iron oxide were obtained by hydrothermal treatment of ferric solution at 200°C with the addition of either KOH, ethylenediamine (EDA), or KOH and EDA into the reaction system. As usually observed, the α-Fe2O3 hexagonal plates and hexagonal bipyramids were obtained for reaction with KOH and EDA, respectively. When both KOH and EDA were added into the reaction system, we obser...

The kinetic isotope effects in the reactions of CH3Cl, CH3Cl and CD3Cl with OH radicals and Cl atoms were studied in relative rate experiments at 298±2 K and 1013±10 mbar. The reactions were carried out in a smog chamber using long path FTIR detection and the spectroscopic data analyzed employing a non-linear least squares spectral fitting method using measured highresolution infrared spectra a...

Teff straw, a by-product of Teff, mainly available in Ethiopia, has not been studied much for biosorbent production. The present study investigated the effects modification and optimization process parameters (viz., concentration modifying agent (H3PO4 KOH), temperature, time) on Cr (VI) removal efficiency using chemically activated straw by RSM followed BBD. maximum was obtained an H3PO4-modif...

Koh and Tan gave a sufficient condition for a 3-partite tournament to have at least one 3-king in [K.M. Koh, B.P. Tan, Kings in multipartite tournaments, Discrete Math. 147 (1995) 171–183, Theorem 2]. In Theorem 1 of this paper, we extend this result to n-partite tournaments, where n 3. In [K.M. Koh, B.P. Tan, Number of 4-kings in bipartite tournaments with no 3-kings, Discrete Math. 154 (1996)...

In the present research synthesis of zeolites, merlinoite minerals of natural clinoptiloite mineral in the presence of alkaline mediums, was investigated. The analyzed variants are a result of a concentration of Na+ and K+ ions, temperature and time. Phase transition of clinoptiloite was conducted in the presence of an 8 molar potash solution (KOH) and a 4 molar soda solution (NaOH). Results in...

The main advantage of tetramethyl ammnium hydroxide (TMAH)-based solutions is their full compatibility with IC technologies. In this work a new etching system of TMAH/IPA (isopropyl alcohol) is suggested. The influence of the addition of IPA to TMAH solutions on their etching characteristics is presented. The etch rates of (100) oriented silicon crystal planes decreases linearly with decreasing...

Paper-based batteries are an alternative to traditional batteries due to their low cost, portability, and simplicity to operate. In the present work, we demonstrate an improved and inexpensive paper-based aluminum-air battery employing KOH as the electrolyte with sufficient energy to power small devices. The dimensions of the device, electrode size, and electrolyte concentration were optimized ...
