To investigate the optical properties of chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP) from Eucalyptus camaldulensis, one group of samples of CTMP was aged by heating, and another group was first subjected to bleaching with different bleaching agents, and then aging by exposure to sunlight. Chromophores were analyzed using diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra (DRUV), and the brightness and color parameters (...

The Ni-B-P alloy coatings were made autocatalytically (electroless) using an alkaline plating bath with nickel chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2.6H2O) as the source of nickel ions, sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and sodium hypophosphite (NaH2PO2) as reducing agents and source of boron and phosphorous ions, respectively. The effects of bath concentrations on the plating rate, composition of coating, surfa...

The hydrolysis of sodium borohydride as a source of hydrogen gas is studied at different mole ratios of H+ to NaBH4. The sulfonated porous carbon (SPC) is used as a source of hydrogen ion and catalyst. It is found that the sulfonated porous carbon exhibits high activity for the hydrolysis of NaBH4 to generate hydrogen gas at room temperature in comparison to Amberlyst-15 and Nafion-NR50. The ki...
