in the present research work, the kinetics of sunflower oil transesterification reaction in the presence of ba-sr/zsm-5 nanocatalyst which prepared using incipient wetness impregnation method was investigated. the 10wt.%ba-sr/zsm-5 (sr/ba=3/2) nanocatalyst was calcined at 600 °c for 6 h with a heating rate of 3 ºc/min. the experimental conditions were the methanol/oil 9/1molar ratio, reaction t...

Arsenic is of concern in water treatment because of its health effects. This research focused on incorporating hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) into granular activated carbon (GAC) for the purpose of arsenic removal. Iron was incorporated into GAC via incipient wetness impregnation and cured at temperatures ranging from 60 to 90 degrees C. X-ray diffractions and arsenic sorption as a function of pH w...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS The aim of this study was to develop an immediate-release pellet formulation with improved drug dissolution and adsorption. Carbamazepine, a poorly water-soluble drug, was adsorbed into mesoporous silica (SBA-15-CBZ) via a wetness impregnation method and then processed by extrusion/spheronization into pellets. Physicochemical characterization of the preparation was carrie...

In this study, we prepared a mesoporous carbon with hexagonally packed mesopores through evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA)—with the diblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide-b-ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL) as the template (EO114CL84), phenolic resin as the carbon precursor, hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as the curing agent, and star octakis-PEO-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxa...

The vapor-phase selective oxidation of propylene (H2C CHCH3) to acrolein (H2C CHCHO) was investigated over supported V2O5/Nb2O5 catalysts. The catalysts were synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation of V-isopropoxide/isopropanol solutions and calcination at 450 8C. The catalytic active vanadia component was shown by in situ Raman spectroscopy to be 100% dispersed as surface VOx species on ...

Copper-containing mesoporous carbon (Cu-MC) was prepared by a single-step surfactant-templating method. For comparison, copper-impregnated mesoporous carbon (Cu/MC) was also prepared by a surfactant-templating method and a subsequent impregnation method. Rhenium catalysts supported on copper-containing mesoporous carbon and copper-impregnated mesoporous carbon (Re/Cu-MC and Re/Cu/MC, respective...

We modeled surface wetness at high resolution, using a dynamic hydrology model, to predict flood and swamp water mosquito abundances. Historical meteorologic data, as well as topographic, soil, and vegetation data, were used to model surface wetness and identify potential fresh and swamp water breeding habitats in two northern New Jersey watersheds. Surface wetness was positively associated wit...

Ru/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation as well as colloid deposition of RuCl3 precursor via in situ reduction with ethylene glycol (polyol) method on alumina support. The samples were characterized by TEM, XRD and TPR techniques. The catalytic performance tests were carried out in a fixed-bed micro-reactor under diffe...

In the present research work, the kinetics of sunflower oil transesterification reaction in the presence of Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 nanocatalyst which prepared using incipient wetness impregnation method was investigated. The 10wt.%Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 (Sr/Ba=3/2) nanocatalyst was calcined at 600 °C for 6 h with a heating rate of 3 ºC/min. The experimental conditions were the methanol/oil 9/1molar ratio, reaction t...

nanocrystalline ceria has been considered as support for carbon monoxide preferentially oxidation. in this study ceria was prepared by precipitation method and the effects of preparation conditions, such as ph of solution (8-10), aging time (1-12 hr), drying temperature (80-120 °c), calcination time (2-6 hr) and temperature (400-600 °c) were investigated on ceria synthesized powders properties....
