In this work, a mineralogical study and thermal decomposition analysis of jarosite residue sample from zinc plant were carried out. The showed that the is mainly composed four components, including jarosites, sulfates–hydroxides, sulfides spinel. distribution relevant metallic elements in these components was characterized using sequential extraction process. X-ray diffraction results AFe3(OH)6...

The present study reports the results obtained after analysis of thermal stability and decomposition kinetics widely used synthetic derivative estradiol, ethinylestradiol (EE), as a pure active pharmaceutical ingredient. As investigational tools, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), analysis, modeling EE were employed. kinetic was realized using three methods, namely Kissinger, Fri...

the aim of this study is to find the optimal water pressure and percentage of supply vapour in the feed water heaters (fwhs) of steam power plants, such that they maximize the thermal efficiency of the rankine cycle within pre-specified values of minimum and maximum pressures of the thermodynamic cycle. thermal efficiency is defined as a function of unknown variables (fluid pressure and vapour ...

the new non-conventional cutting process by the use of thermal shock is a convenient procedure for cutting the brittle materials such as glasses and ceramics. this method is based on the application of localized thermal shock to brittle materials by the use of hot air jet, which induces thermal stresses at the tip of an existed pre-crack. due to the thermo-elastic behavior of materials, the pre...

membrane distillation has the potential to concentrate solutions to their saturation level, thus offering the possibility to recover valuable salts from the solutions. the process performance and stability, however, is strongly dependent upon the features of membranes applied. in addition, several other parameters, membrane thickness and thermal conductivity significantly affect the process per...

Dimerization process is essential for producing copolymers. The features of dimerization process like thermal-oxidative degradation should be well known to reach maximum efficiency and a superior reactor design. Also, the degradation mechanism of biodegradable polymers is important during sterilization processes. Thermal-oxidative degradation of PGA, PLLA, and their binary copolymers was invest...
