Influence of alkali and temperature were studied on dyeing of cotton fabric with bi-functional Fluoro Chloro Pyrimidene (FCP), bi-functional Monochlorotriazine-Vinyl Sulphone (MCT-VS) and mono functional Monochlorotriazine (MCT) reactive dyes. For this analysis single joursey knitted fabrics were taken. The selected dyestuffs were Drimarene Yellow K-2R (FCP), Drimarene Red CI-5B (MCT-VS) and Dr...

Background information as to the environmental effect of discharges of mercury is provided. The information has justified a programme, outlined in the paper, for reducing mercury in products, waste waters and vented air from chlorine plants using the mercury process. The strict separation of the waste waters and certain technical measures creates possibilities of reducing the discharges effecti...

Extracellular electron transfer has, in one decade, emerged from an environmental phenomenon to an industrial process driver. On the one hand, electron transfer towards anodes leads to production of power or chemicals such as hydrogen, caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide. On the other hand, electron transfer from cathodes enables bioremediation and bioproduction. Although the microbiology of ext...

The EU Directive 1999/77/EC, prohibiting new applications of chrysotile, exempted diaphragms used in electrolysis to produce chorine and caustic soda in existing chlor-alkali plants until they reach the end of their service life, or until suitable asbestos-free substitutes become available, whichever is sooner. There is no technical justification for extending this exemption after January 2008,...

High molecular weight amines, quaternary salts etc. have the potential of removing heavy metal ions including the toxic ones at low concentrations. In the present work an attempt has been made to extract Cr(VI) through emulsion liquid surfactant membrane (or, emulsion liquid membrane-ELM) from it’s acidic solution using alamine-336 and caustic soda as extractant and striping reagents respective...

In the automotive assembly process, improvements to paint application technology have increasingly relied on a consistent, high quality supply of high purity water. The water is used to improve the adhesion of anti-corrosive compounds to a car’s frame and body parts, and for rinse water between paint coats to improve adhesion and consistency of the finish. The industry has traditionally operate...

Electrochemistry on gases originated in 1839 with Grove's "gaseous voltaic battery". Over 90 years later, Bacon built a demonstration fuel cell consisting of porous nickel electrodes. He is credited with creating a stable three phase reaction zone of electrode, gas, and electrolyte. Today's fuel cell electrodes are far more sophisticated and lend themselves to other important electrochemical pr...

the present research has been conducted to investigate the soda and soda-anthraquiuone pulping from whole kenaf (v36). in this respect, anatomical characteristics of kenaf bast and core fibers as well as the soda and soda-aq pulp properties produced at four sodium hydroxide concentrations, namely 25, 30, 35 and 40 (g/lit), have been evaluated. the pulping results indicated that pulp yield and k...

This article is dedicated to the identification of perspective areas for disposal ash and slag waste from thermal power plants, namely generated at TPP-1 in Pavlodar. The composition was considered by methods X-ray fluorescence phase analysis order identify most suitable area their further use. Based on data obtained, it proposed use extraction precious metals, such as aluminum iron, alkaline l...
