In this paper neuro-fuzzy technique is used for the first time in modeling eco-friendly furnace parameters to predict the melting rate of the molten metal required to produce homogenous and quality castings. The relationship between the process variables (input) viz. flame temperature, preheat air temperature, rotational speed of the furnace dome, percentage of excess air, melting time, fuel co...

Mixed polyester resins are fascinating materials in toner development because of the possibility to tune the toner properties by the simple mixing of different resin components. But the miscibility of two different components with quite different properties is still a challenge in both pulverized and chemical toners. For chemical toners, one alternative is to use organic media to dissolve both ...

The application of "green" chemistry rules to nanoscience and nanotechnology is very important in the preparation of various nanomaterials. In this work, we successfully developed an eco-friendly chemistry method for preparing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in natural polymeric media. The colloidal Ag-NPs were synthesized in an aqueous solution using silver nitrate, gelatin, and glucose as a sil...

The upgrade recycling of cast-iron scrap chips towards β-FeSi₂ thermoelectric materials is proposed as an eco-friendly and cost-effective production process. By using scrap waste from the machining process of cast-iron components, the material cost to fabricate β-FeSi₂ is reduced and the industrial waste is recycled. In this study, β-FeSi₂ specimens obtained from cast iron scrap chips were prep...

maltose as an efficient, available, cheap and eco-friendly catalyst has been applied for the synthesis of 3,4,5-substituted furan-2(5h)one derivatives via a one-pot three-component reaction of arylamines, aromatic aldehydes and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in water. this method has notable advantages in terms of simple workup, no need for column chromatography, short reaction time and high y...

4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (dbsa) has been shown to be an efficient, mild, green, stable and chemoselective brønsted acid catalyst for the synthesis of 1, 1-diacetates (acylals) of aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. the mild condition, eco-friendly, excellent yields, short reaction times and using an easily available, inexpensive and reusable catalyst are important features of this met...
