The aim of this research was to investigate the potential of raw and iron oxide impregnated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as adsorbents for the removal of selenium (Se) ions from wastewater. The original and modified CNTs with different loadings of Fe2O3 nanoparticles were characterized using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffracto...

Thin films of organic moiety functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from a very well-dispersed aqueous solution were designed on a screen printed transducer surface through a single step directed assembly methodology. Very high density of CNTs was obtained on the screen printed electrode surface, with the formation of a thin and uniform layer on transducer substrate. Functionalized CNTs were ch...

With the rapid development of industry, heat removal and management is a major concern for any technology. Heat transfer plays a critically important role in many sectors of engineering; nowadays utilizing nanofluids is one of the relatively optimized techniques to enhance heat transfer. In the present work, a facile low-temperature solvothermal method was employed to fabricate the SnO₂/reduced...

In this work the effect of different bonding temperatures on the thermal stability of anisotropic conductive films (ACFs) was investigated. A thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was utilized to determine the thermal decomposition temperature of ACF. The experimental results showed that the temperature for maximum decomposition rate of ACF, Tm decreased with increasing bonding temperature. The resu...

Biphenyl is used as an intermediate for synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds. The objective of present research was to investigate the influence of biofield treatment on physical, spectroscopic and thermal properties of biphenyl. The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and biofield treatment was given to treated group. The c...

With the application of induction-heating, the pyrolytic experiments have been carried out for three sewage sludges from the food processing factories in an externally heated fixed-bed reactor. The thermochemical characteristics of sludge samples were first analyzed. The results indicated that the calorific value had about 15 MJ/kg on an average, suggesting that it had a potential for biomass e...

In this study, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) fabricated from rice straw were utilized to reinforce poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL), and the structure properties of these CNF/PCL composite films analyzed by morphology observation measurements X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), mechanical property water absorption. The experimental result...
