The use of polymers as corrosion inhibitors has attracted much attention due to their low prices, inherent stability, availability and cost-effectiveness. inhibiting effect poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) on carbon steel in phosphoric acid solution been investigated using weight loss scanning electron microscopy techniques (SEM) theoretical calculations based density functional theory (DFT). In...

Effects of Fe2O3 addition (2-20 wt%) with 1 h mechanical activation on redox reactions of Co3O4 were studied by TG/DSC, SEM, and XRD analyses. The results showed that a Fe2O3 addition from 2 to 15 wt% increases the oxygen release from 1.4 to 3.4 wt% and decreases the reduction onset temperature from 1030 to 960 °C, while it increases the oxygen uptake value and re-oxidation onset temperature re...

It is shown that accurate values of the rates of enthalpy generation in the electrolysis of light and heavy water can be obtained from measurements in simple, single compartment Dewar type calorimeter cells. This precise evaluation of the rate of enthalpy generation relies on the nonlinear regression fitting of the “black-box” model of the calorimeter to an extensive set of temperature time mea...

Abstract As an alternative energy source for fossil energy, use of biomass pyrolysis to reduce pyrolusite is great significance conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection. Kinetics thermodynamics reducing using was studied thermogravimetric analysis analysis. Five non-isothermal methods, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Distributed Activation Energy Model, Starink ...

N-Isopropylpropionamide (NiPPA), which can self-associate via hydrogen bonds, was found to undergo a solid-solid transition as identified by DSC and X-ray diffraction. Below the melting temperature of 51 °C NIPPA adopts a plastic crystalline state with a tetragonal unit cell until it transforms into an ordered crystal with a monoclinic structure at temperatures ≤10 °C. Dielectric spectroscopy w...

The MIND0/3-F0RCES method is applied for the calculation of the 1CH2-1-H2 CH4 reaction. The variation of geometry is carried out in such a manner as to allow for the deviation from the Csv symmetry along the H7 —CH, reaction coordinate. The changes in the geometric parameters of the system during the reaction are followed. It is found that the transition state of the reaction corresponds to ß =...

The irreversible thermal inactivation and the thermodynamics of calcium ion binding of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase in the absence of substrates were studied. The enzyme inactivation on heating was apparently followed by first-order kinetics. The enzyme was stabilized with an increased concentration of calcium ion and thus the inactivation was highly dependent on the state of calciu...

The relative permittivity and conductivity of aqueous solutions of oxyhaemoglobin and carboxyhaemoglobin were measured over the frequency range 150kHz-100MHz. To minimize errors of measurement the investigations were carried out with three different samples of each type of haemoglobin, independent apparatus being used in two different laboratories. The dielectric increment and relaxation time w...

Light-metal hydrides, like MgH2, remain under scrutiny as prototypes for reversible H-storage materials. For MgH2, we assess hydrogen desorption/adsorption properties (enthalpy and kinetic barriers) for stepped, catalyst-doped surfaces occurring, e.g., from ball-milling in real samples. Employing density functional theory and simulated annealing in a slab model, we studied initial H2 desorption...
