The kinetics of toluene hydrogenation over Ni-supported catalysts with various supports was investigated under the wide range of conditions as 130 to 210 °C reaction temperature, 2.6×10-5 to 5.9×10-5 atm partial pressure of hydrogen and 1.4×10-9 to 3.7×10-8 atm partial pressure of toluene. For more study, two kinetics models were also selected and studied to describe the kinetics of this proces...

on the basis of experimental data a kinetic model for the heterogeneous interaction between alkylperoxyradicals and organic compounds in langmuir- hinshelwood approach at room temperature has been offered.the effect of oxygen on the kinetics of process in the presence, [o2]o = 1 x 1011 – 1.6 x 1012 molecules.cm-2, and absence of oxygen has been analyzed. over time the chain degenerate branching...

a doublet of earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.5 and 6.2 in mw scale (global cmt) on 2010 december 20 and 2011 january 27 respectively struck the area that lies between the nehbandan and jiroft fault systems, southeast of iran. these earthquakes occurred in correspondence of the southwestern termination of the kahourak right lateral strike slip fault. the focal mechanisms of both the mainshocks ...

the potential of heat inactivated saccharomyces cerevisiae in the bioremoval and reduction ofcr (vi) ions from wastewaters was evaluated in terms of metal uptake in time and at equilibrium, andbiosorption efficiency, by varying ph, biosorbent doses, contact time and temperature, in batch mode. during the sorption process, the heat inactivated biomass of the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae is cap...

the reduction mechanism of molybdenum-methyl thymol blue (mtb)-chlorate system has been investigated in water on a mercury electrode. as this system is very sensitive for ultratrace determination of molybdenum, the actual mechanism involved was studied. electrochemical techniques, including dc tast polarography and cyclic voltammetry were employed. it is shown that, the cathodic wave of molybde...

the adsorption and desorption properties of sqd-85 resin for cu(ii) had been investigated. a series of experiments were conducted in a batch system to assess the effect of the system variables, i.e. initial ph, contact time and temperature. the results show that the optimal ph for the adsorption was 5.99 in the hac-naac system, and the maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to 324 mg/g at 29...

the oxidation of complexes of ti(iii), (til6)3+ (l=ur, meur, dmeur, deture, n-bu-ur, and phur), by iodine as i3- in ethanol and acetonitrile solutions, appears to proceed as a second order reaction and is much faster in ethanol solution (where solvolysis occurs) than in acetonitrile. the enthalpy of activation appears to decrease as ligand's size increases which suggest that the kinetic stabili...

in recent years, the balanced score card (bsc) has been the focus of considerable methodology for strategic cost management in management accounting area since it was originally proposed by kaplan ,r.s. and norton, d.p. in 1992. bsc is an approach to performance measurement based on both financial and nonfinancial information from four perspectives which are called financial, customer, internal...

The oxidation of n-pentanol by tetramethylammonium fluorochromate in acidic solution wasstudied using spectrophotometric technique. The reaction was arranged to be under pseudo firstorderconditions respect to the oxidant. A Michaelis-Menten type kinetic was observed respect tothe substrate. The reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions. Dependences of the reaction rates ontemperature and different...

An investigation of the friction and sliding wear of gray cast iron against chromium plated cast irons was carried out on a newly constructed reciprocating friction and wear tester. The tests were the first to be done on the test rig under dry conditions and at the speed of 170 cm/min, and variable loads of 20-260 N for a duration of 15 min. to 3 hours. The gray cast iron surfaces worn by a pro...
