Diffusion couples combining a hcp Zr90Al10 supersaturated solid solution with a fcc Cu64Ni36 solid solution were annealed at 410 °C for different times. The reaction at the interface was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The investigations show the formation of a noncrystalline layer at the interface between the two solid solutions that g...

Nanostructured Iron Oxide with different morphologies of rod-like and granular have been suc-cessfully prepared via a solid-state reaction in the presence of NaCl, NaBr, NaI and NaN3, respectively. The added salts not only prevent a drastic increase in the size of the products but also provide suitable conditions for the oriented growth of primary nanoparticles. The formation mechanisms of thes...

in this work, all-solid-state potentiometric pvc membrane sensor was introduced for fast andsimple monitoring of mercury ions in waste water samples. the all solid sate electrode is made based on aconductive composite of graphite, reduced graphene oxide, epoxy resin on a copper wire. a thin layer pvcmembrane is then coated on the surface of the new conducting transducer. pvc membrane is compose...

a solid state fermentation method was developed for the production of citric acid from date pulp (obtained of date syrup production from the process) by aspergillus niger ptcc 5010. poor yield was obtained when potassium ferrocyanide treated date pulp were used as substrate, but methanol at a 3-4% concentration markedly increased the forma-tion of citric acid from the waste. the optimum range o...

Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with particular Nb concentrations were prepared by Rotary- Hydrothermal (RH) method. Hydrothermal method was used at 180 °C for 5 hours with new Ti pressure and the teflon vessel was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. New hydrothermal method was used instead of previous solid state reaction for the system BaTiO3±Nb<sub...

We have applied a novel 'melt synthesis technique' rather than a conventional solid-state reaction to rapidly synthesize phosphor materials. During a synthesis, the mixture of oxides or their precursors is melted by light pulses (10-60 s) in an arc-imaging furnace on a water-cooled copper hearth to form a globule of 1-5 mm diameter, which is then rapidly cooled by turning off the light. Using t...

production of thermostable alkaline protease in tray bioreactor for solid state fermentation is a unique process which may lead to an economical approach for production of enzyme from agricultural waste or low cost substrate. in solid state fermentation using tray bioreactor, several agricultural residues such as rice bran, sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran, barely bran, corn meal and corn husk wer...

introdouction: dentinal hypersensitivity (dh) is one of the most painful chronic problems reported in dental offices. various methods have been applied for the treatment of dh. however, majority of them are either ineffective or last for a short period of time. it has been reported that lasers, particularly neodymium- doped: yttrium aluminum garnet laser (nd: yag), can be helpful in the treatme...
