he cost of sludge disposal can contribute significantly to the cost of product manufacturing. An opportunity exists to eliminate this cost of land disposal of sludge resulting from the zinc phosphate pretreatment process. In addition, the cost of the phosphating process may be reduced by reclaiming this sludge to a zinc-phosphate replenishment solution and other useful products. For those not f...

Catalytic conversion of waste rubbers and plastics into aromatic hydrocarbons is a promising approach to management energy recovery. In the present study, acidic HY zeolites were supported by cobalt, iron, zirconium, catalysts characterized powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, ammonia temperature programmed desorption, photoelectron spectroscopy, pyridine-Fourier transform ...

The influence of pH and aging upon the phosphate binding capacity of iron(II1) or aluminum hydroxides has been investigated. The formation of reactive polynuclear hydroxo complexes by the hydrolyzing cations and the subsequent oxolation process are starting points of a discussion of the observed influence of the experimental conditions upon the rate and extent of phosphate adsorption. The ratio...

Amperometric glucose sensors were fabricated using glucose oxidase (GOx) entrapped in zirconium hydrogenphosphate (ZrP), and their performance was evaluated. Reportedly, alpha-ZrP is one of the candidates that are expected to improve the stability of enzymes immobilized on solid surfaces. We intercalated GOxs into ZrP (GOx/ZrP), cast the GOx/ZrP suspension in polyvinylalcohol on a platinum elec...

BACKGROUND To evaluate and compare the microhardness of deciduous teeth treated with nano-hydroxyapatite and calcium sucrose phosphate after iron drop exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty healthy anterior deciduous teeth were collected and stored in 0.9% saline solution at room temperature. All the teeth were immersed in artificial saliva in an incubator shaker at 37° for an hour and then su...

Thanks to the Kroll process, metallic zirconium can be produced by means of a fairly complicated reduction process. In actual fact, the ore is found as a by-product when mining titanium and tin ore. Since 2003, the price of zirconium has more than doubled. This is the result of increasing demand and also the fact that a considerable amount of energy is needed to release zirconium from its chemi...

The kinetics of phosphate adsorbed on waste iron sludge was investigated in this study. Static batch adsorption experiments were performed at different initial phosphate concentrations, initial pH and temperature of solution. The initial adsorption rate increased with increasing the phosphate concentration. A shorter time, however, was required to reach adsorption equilibrium at low phosphate c...

A zirconium sulfate-surfactant micelle mesostructure (ZS) was synthesized to investigate its capacity for phosphate removal from water. Its phosphate adsorption kinetics, the effect of pH and interfering anions, adsorption isotherm, desorption capacity, and reusability were investigated. The adsorption isotherms could be described by the Langmuir model. The ZS was an effective adsorbent for pho...

Solvothermaly synthesized zirconium oxide nanopowders, pure and doped with various amounts of iron ions (1?20 %), were used as modifiers glassy carbon electrodes. The modified electrodes tested in the reaction electrochemical oxidation 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) order to investigate influence doping on performance zirconia matrix. techniques cyclic voltammetry impedance spectroscopy employed. ...

Abstract In this manuscript, efficiency of the used organic solvent for recovering, separating and producing highly purified zirconium oxide from chloride leach liquor Rosetta white zircon concentrate was investigated. Zircon mineral thermally decomposed with caustic soda, cooled, washed distilled water then dissolved in hydrochloric acid. Zirconium extraction reached 91.4% using 10% bis-(2-eth...
