The kinetic of the heterogeneous chemical reaction of aluminum hydroxide and fluosilicic acid was studied. It was found that the diffusion of the reactants through the porous silica coating to the aluminum hydroxide surface and the interfacial chemical reaction between the diffusing reactant and aluminum hydroxide platelets control the overall reaction rate. These two phenomena were studied...

introduction: ultraviolet (uv) radiation affects human organs such as skin, eyes and immune system, as well as animals and plants. the main natural source of uv radiation is the sun. to study the effects of solar uv radiation there is a need to quantify variations of solar energy received on the earth surface at different intervals. materials and methods: to measure uv radiation a broadband fib...

The reactivity of the protonated and hydroxylated sphalerite (1 1 0) surface with xanthate was simulated using the density functional theory (DFT). The difference between the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the sphalerite surface and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of xanthate (  was used to compare the reaction capability of xanthate with fresh and fun...

nowadays, in consideration of environmental issues and limitation of fossil fuels, there is a particular consideration of renewable energy including ocean energy, that can extracted going through various methods such as wave energy, tidal energy, salinity gradient, otec: ocean thermal energy conversion.herein this research, operation of otec method in southern caspian sea has been discussed. fo...

 The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...

Nanoparticles made of biodegradable polymers has become the best approach for nanoparticle making due to their compatibility with the human body. New glycerol adipate polymers with hydroxyl group substituted with different percent of acyl group, sited as figures within the abbreviated name in the text, and triptophan were synthesized and proposed to be used in the preparction of dexamethason ph...

By use of data for surface tension, for the first time a method is presented for calculating true molar surface properties of liquids: free energy, entropy, and enthalpy. These new data allow full comparison with other molar quantities, such as enthalpy and entropy of vaporization. All data are at the normal boiling point. There are differences in behavior between various classes of nonpolar co...
