in this research new adsorbents were prepared by modification of surfactant-coated g-alumina with three ligands; 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphtol (pan), dithizone (hdz) and dimetyl golyoxime (dmg). the adsorbents were used for removal and pre-concentration of pb+2, cd+2, ni+2, cu+2, co+2. aqueous solutions of the metal ions were passed through a column filled with the adsorbent and the retained catio...

Nanoporous alumina membranes exhibit high pore densities, well-controlled and uniform pore sizes, as well as straight pores. Owing to these unusual properties, nanoporous alumina membranes are currently being considered for use in implantable sensor membranes and water purification membranes. Atomic layer deposition is a thin-film growth process that may be used to modify the pore size in a nan...

Silica nanoparticles (NPs) belong to the industrially most important NP types. In a previous study it was shown that amorphous SiO(2) NPs of 12.5 and 27.0 nm are stable in algal growth inhibition assays and that their ecotoxic effects are related to NP surface area. Here, it was hypothesized and demonstrated that an alumina coating completely alters the particle-particle, particle-test medium a...

This paper presents the wear characteristics of the composite ceramic coating made with Al2O3-40wt%8YSZ on the biomedical grade Ti-6Al-4V alloy (grade 5) used for total joint prosthetic components, with the aim of improving their tribological behavior. The coatings were deposited using a plasma spraying technique, and optimization of plasma parameters was performed using response surface method...

A highly active heterogeneous Fenton catalyst was fabricated by impregnating iron oxide nanoparticles in alumina coated mesoporous SBA-15 silica.

CA91 108 We report on resistivity and chemical stability of Cr/Au bilayers deposited by sputtering on three kinds of substrates: alumina, aluminum nitride and aluminum nitride coated alumina. The insertion loss of Cr/Au microstrip lines fabricated on these three substrates was low and stable after 700 cycles in the -65°C to 125°C temperature range.

Chloro-Fluoro Carbons (CFC), also known as Refrigerants or Propellants, are highly volatile compounds which can be analyzed via gas chromatography. There production, application and especially release is controlled carefully as they have a direct impact on the ozone layer. For the separation via GC, we meet some challenges as due to their volatility, a stationary phase is required with very hig...

A highly-stable and biocompatible nanoporous electrode is demonstrated herein. The electrode is based on a porous anodic alumina which is conformally coated with an ultra-thin layer of diamond-like carbon. The nanocarbon coating plays an essential role for the chemical stability and biocompatibility of the electrodes; thus, the coated electrodes are ideally suited for biomedical applications. T...

a sensitive and selective solid phase extraction procedure for the determination of traces of cd(ii),zn(ii) and ag(i) ions has been developed. an alumina-sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) coated on with2,3 di hydro 2,3 para tolyl qinazoline (1 h)- 4 one (dptqo). the influences of the analyticalparameters including ph and sample volume were investigated. common coexisting ions did notinterfere on the...
