Reduced porous graphene oxide as a metal free catalyst was selected for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. It showed the best catalytic performance compared with other carbon materials (routinely reduced graphene oxide, graphite powder and oxidized carbon nanotubes) and commercial iron oxide.

Ferrite and iron powder magnetic materials were developed to support a wide range of components, including inductors, EMI suppressors, conventional transformers and transmission line transformers (TLTs). This article deals with transmission line transformers, presenting the observations and conclusions of the author, reached after extensive experimental research into the behavior and performanc...

We developed a rapid acid-digestion method for preparing tissue samples for iron determination. Specimens were digested in nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide under high temperature and pressure in closed Teflon vessels, with microwave energy. Analysis for iron in 25- to 250-mg portions of digested bovine liver powder (National Bureau of Standards Certified Reference Material no. 1577a) showed ex...

Vitamin B12, Cobyric Acid, Fe(III)Cobalamin, Fe(III)Cobyric Acid, Iron-B12-Analogues, UV/VIS-, NMR-, ESR-Spectra The reaction of hydrogenocobalamin or hydrogenocobyric acid (both isolated from Chromatium vinosum) with iron(III) acetate and iron powder in acetic acid under N 2 at 80 °C leads to the incorporation of iron into these cobalt-free corrinoids. The products, Fe(III)cobalamin and Fe(ni)...

A new approach in the method of depositing an external lubricant on the die walls of a powder metallurgy press has been developed which allows the compaction of parts from mixes with no or minimal lubricant content. By heating the die to moderate temperatures (70°C 100°C) and using new composite lubricants, optimum thickness lubricant layers can be deposited allowing the compaction-ejection of ...

At the Power Systems Development Facility (PSDF), a variety of filter elements and failsafes are being tested for the cleanup of coal-generated syngas from the Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) Transport Gasifier. Through 2007, the maximum accumulated syngas exposure for each element type was: 9,959 hours for iron aluminide sintered metal powder elements; 8,249 hours for HR-160 sintered metal fiber ...

A new, oxygen-stabilized intermetallic compound was identified in sintered, pre-alloyed rare-earth iron powder samples. Its composition corresponds to formula R.-Fe^Oj, and its crystal structure belongs to space group Imjnu The presence of these compounds has been observed, so far, in several K-Fe-0 systems, with R = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho* Er and Y.

Highly reflective magnetic powders have been available commercially for latent fingerprint development on dark background surfaces for a few years, however there are needs of a superior darker variety of the magnetic powder which would be ideally suitable for obtaining good contrast on light background surfaces. A novel dark magnetic powder is therefore suggested for the application in latent f...

OBJECTIVE Perceived intolerance to infant formula is a frequently reported reason for formula switching. Formula intolerance may be related to perceived symptoms of constipation, fussiness, abdominal cramps, and excessive spit-up or vomit. Commercially available formulas differ from each other in processing and in sources and levels of protein, lipids, and micronutrients. These differences may ...

In 1932 Kettle1 reported that where quartz particles are coated with iron their fibrogenic action is inhibited. Although initially unsuccessful, Gardner was able to confirm this inhibitory action in 1938. More recently Vorwald4 also described the inhibitory action of iron on experimental silicosis in guinea pigs. Finely divided metallic aluminum powder according to Denny et al.,#{176} and alumi...
