perlite or pearl stone is a natural glass which has formed by rapid cooling of viscous lava or magma. perlite is mainly composed of silica, aluminum, potassium and sodium. in this experiment, perlite was used as a low-cost source of si and al to synthesis of sodalite zeolite using the alkaline hydrothermal treatment. a statistical taguchi design of experiments was employed to evaluate the effec...

Statistical analyses of geochemical data from ferromanganese nodule samples representing a broad area of the southeast Pacific Ocean indicate nodule compositions are controlled by four factors: (1) suboxic diagenesis; (2) oxic diagenesis; (3) hydrogenous precipitation; and (4) hydrothermal precipitation. The first three are identical to those identified in studies of nodules from the North Paci...

Strontium titanate (SrTiO(3)) nanoparticles with well defined cubic shape and sub-10 nm size that are highly dispersible in non-polar organic solvents were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal (HT) processing. Water-soluble titanium complexes and strontium hydroxide were employed as precursors. When the HT process was carried out without oleic acid, the SrTiO(3) particles obtained were rela...

Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two thermophilic Marinitoga strain members of the Thermotogales order, Marinitoga camini DV1155 and Marinitoga camini DV1197. These strains were isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vents of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Maghemite and magnetite nanoparticles and nanorode are now losing interests in the field of nanobiotechnology and pharmaceutical for their applications. This paper reports on a hydrothermal process for the synthesis of Fe2 O3 in the γ-phases nanorodes, when the hydrothermal temperature was 100 ̊ C. The uniqueness of the method lies in the use of ferrous ammonium sulphate, hexamine was added as t...

The group of 2D materials contains almost all the elements of the periodic table. In contrast to the graphene sheet, they are abundant, this creates a variety of electronic properties including metals, semimetals, insulators and semiconductors. Band gaps of these materials are direct or indirect by ranging from ultraviolet to infrared, for this reason, have received much attention for nanoelect...

Recently, a cellulose-based composite material with a thin ZnO nanolayer-namely, ZnO nanocoated cellulose film (ZONCE)-was fabricated to increase its piezoelectric charge constant. However, the fabrication method has limitations to its application in mass production. In this paper, a hydrothermal synthesis method suitable for the mass production of ZONCE (HZONCE) is proposed. A simple hydrother...

This paper presents an efficient emission constrained hydrothermal scheduling algorithm that deals with nonlinear functions such as the water discharge characteristics, thermal cost, and transmission loss. It is then incorporated into the hydrothermal coordination program. The program has been tested on a practical utility system having 32 thermal and 12 hydro generating units. Test results sho...
