the effects of adding nano-silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of micro-silica were investigated in this work. the effect of combination of nano- silica and micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with other concrete specimens tested in th...

Abstract Reactive silica additives, such as clays, can increase the filterability of phosphogypsum (PG) during wet phosphoric acid production from phosphate rock (PR). In this study, effect adding inexpensive fly ash waste (34 kg per t PR) together with lower quantities pure (8.5 on radioactivity PG was investigated. The addition waste/pure reduced radiological activity by roughly 30%. reductio...

Nuclease activity was dissociated from proteolytic activity when Sachs confirmed the observations of Milroy that an agent which attacked nucleic acid to liberate inorganic phosphoric acid could not liquefy gelatin and that proteolytic enzymes liquefied gelatin but could not attack nucleic acid (1). Henceforth the rate of separation of inorganic phosphoric acid from nucleic acid became the exclu...

Food sources,mineral redistribution, and excreta are someof theways ants enrich their mound environment. Phosphorus excretion has not been reported in red imported Þre ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren. QuantiÞcation of phosphoric acid in worker fecal droplets and larval anal liquid of S. invicta was performed. Phosphoric acid was trimethylsilylated using N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trißuoroacetamide, ...

In this work, polyamide (PA)/silica nanocomposite films prepared by dissolution method of composite mixing were investigated. The morphology of nanocomposite films were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals that nano silica powder were uniformly dispersed on PA silica nanocomposite film. Chemical composition of film was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrosc...

silica exists in rice husk, an agriculture waste, as a naturally occurring phase. in first step, acidic pre-treatment and calcination of the rice husk were performed to obtain nano-silica, in which various sizes of the nano-silica, totally with sizes under 80 nm, were achieved. second, to reduce nano-silica to elemental si and subsequently formation of the composite, mg used as the reducing age...

We report a simple method to fabricate nano-porous tantalum oxide films via anodization with Ta foils as the anode at room temperature. A mixture of ethylene glycol, phosphoric acid, NH4F and H2O was used as the electrolyte where the nano-porous tantalum oxide could be synthesized by anodizing a tantalum foil for 1 h at 20 V in a two-electrode configuration. The as-prepared porous film exhibite...

Current industrial methods of biodiesel production lead to an excess crude glycerin which requires costly purification before commercialization. Production oxygenated fuel additives is a potential route for valorization. Glycerin acetylation was carried out over heterogeneous acid catalysts (15%, glycerol weight basis) using glacial acetic (molar ratio = 9). The catalysts, containing different ...

OBJECTIVES This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of 3D nanoroughness and 2D microroughness evaluations, by their correlation with contact angle measurements and shear bond strength test, in order to evaluate the effect of two different acids conditioning on the bonding efficacy of a leucite-based glass-ceramic to a composite resin. STUDY DESIGN Ceramic (IPS Empress) blocks were treated ...
