to understand the rate of oxidation of sponge irons and its mechanisim, their physical and chemical properties are normally required. in this report attempt has been made to show the results of research on varius pellets and briqutts produced at ahwaz steel complex. in presenting these data, the rate of oxidation of these articles in air between 300 and 600 °c is also quotted and analysed. in a...

Pentagon-shaped silicon wires with linewidth around 300 nm are successfully fabricated by using the Si/SiGe epitaxy technique, reactive ion etching, and subsequent selective chemical etching. The nanowires are oxidized in wet O2 at 750 ◦C and 850 ◦C. The oxide and interface morphology are characterized by cross-sectional scanning electron microscope images. It is found that the oxidized nanowir...

ID No : 43 ABSTRACT Concrete tends to crack due to its relatively low tensile strength which jeopardizes the good condition of steel reinforcement bars. Concrete cracks start at micro level and facilitate ingression of corrosive substances such as SO4 , Cl, O2. Corrosion of the rebar may result in failure of the structure. Self-healing concrete can provide crack repair immediately after crack i...

Wet chemical method was applied for the synthesis of cobalt-ferrite nanoparticles. The physicochemical properties were investigated by number analytical techniques. TGA revealed thermal stability synthesized X-ray diffraction studies displayed nanoparticles crystalline nature. Structure confirmed via infrared spectroscopy manifesting Co and Fe ions absorption peaks. Morphological showed employi...

Catalytic Wet Oxidation is a promising treatment for wastewater containing refractory compounds, such as phenol. Activated carbon has demonstrated to perform as catalyst in wet oxidation, however it is not fully understood its role as catalyst. This study aims to clarify the effect of metal content, specifically iron and calcium, on the performance of a commercial activated carbon. Several modi...
