In this paper, a remote O2 ion source is used for the formation of nano-oxide layers. The oxidation efficiency was measured in CoFe-oxide films, and a decrease of the oxide layer with the pan angle and the oxidation pressure is observed. For the same oxidation pressure, the oxidation efficiency depends on the O2 content in the Ar–O2 plasma. These results were applied in optimizing the fabricati...

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is recognized as one of the most emitted indoor air pollutants with high detrimental effect on human health. Significant research efforts are focused HCHO removal to meet emission regulations in an effective and economically profitable way. For over three decades, unique electronic properties catalytic abilities nano-gold catalysts continue be attractive area for community. ...

Abstract In the present work, nano-Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), nano-Silicon Carbide (SiC), or a hybrid of them were infused into epoxy resin with an ultrasonic system various weight percentage ratios nanoparticles. Small punch testing (SPT) and indirect tension adopted to measure tensile properties nanocomposites. Pin-on-ring wear was also performed examine performance Al2O3 SiC The Finite Element ...

friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized al2o3 and micro sized graphite particles. a mixture of al2o3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...

The effects of the addition of ceria and zirconia on the structural properties of supported rhodium catalysts (1.6 and 4 wt % Rh/γ-Al2O3) are studied. Ceria and zirconia are deposited by using two preparation methods. Method I involves the deposition of ceria on γ-Al2O3 from Ce(acac)3, and the rhodium metal is subsequently added, whereas method II is based on a controlled surface reaction techn...

The addition of small amounts (2-10 wt %) of SiO2 to γ-Al2O3 increases the temperature of heat treatment necessary for transformation to R-Al2O3 by ∼100 K. We have studied this system using high-temperature solution calorimetry in molten 2PbO‚B2O3 at 1043 K. Our results indicate that the spinel-type Al2O3-SiO2 solid solutions with 2-10 wt % SiO2 are always energetically metastable by 30-35 kJ‚m...

Forward osmosis (FO) membrane is a promising technique. However, its application in desalination limited. Thus, we synthesized MIL-53(Fe)@γ-Al2O3 via solvent-thermal method to fabricate MIL-53(Fe)@γ-Al2O3/cellulose acetate (CA) composite membranes of high performance. and MIL-53(Fe) particles were studied using XRD, FITR, SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, AFM. The structural features MIL...

A perovskite-structured barium zirconate, BaZrO3 (BZ), support is demonstrated to enhance the activity, relative to γ-Al2O3, of Co nanoparticle catalysts decorated with Pt for CO2 methanation. The CO2 methanation reaction may play a central role in both CO2 utilization and energy storage strategies for renewable energy. These catalysts require cooperative hydrogen transport between the supporte...
