Abstract The R&D results of new tellurium-loaded liquid and plastic scintillators (TeLS TePS) for the experiments on search neutrinoless double beta decay are presented. Linear alkylbenzene polystyrene used as a scintillation base TeLS TePS, respectively. Diphenyltellurium di-2-ethylhexanoate complex compound diphenyltellurium oxide di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid proposed tellurium-contai...

Abstract A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5-diphenyloxazole fluor was developed for SNO+ experiment. This mixture chosen it is compatible with acrylic has a competitive light yield to pre-existing scintillators while conferring other advantages including longer attenuation lengths, superior safety characteristics, chemical simplicity, ease handling, l...

In this paper the photocatalytic degradation of the anionic surfactant, linear alkylbenzene sulfonicacid (LABSA) was investigated using UV radiation in the presence of TiO2. Our findingsdemonstrate that various parameters exert their individual influence on the photocatalytic degradationof surfactant in wastewaters. The mentioned parameters have been categorized as follow: the initialpH of the ...

A Particle-Into-Liquid Sampler (PILS) was modified and coupled with a Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer (Sievers 800T, GE Water Systems, Boulder, CO), in an attempt to measure particulate organic carbon (OC) online. The PILS droplet collection system was changed from an inertial impactor to a miniature cyclone to increase the efficiency of transferring insoluble carbonaceous aerosol to the li...
