Pyrolysis is an applicable method that has been widely used to recover hydrocarbons from Used Lubricating Oil (ULO). However, large-scale application of this approach has been limited by its noticeably energy and time consuming nature. In the present research, it has been attempted to modify the energy and time requirements of ULO pyrolysis using the catalytic effects of metal oxide nanoparticl...

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensors are employed to detect target biomolecules which have particular resonance wavelengths. Accordingly, tunability of the LSPR wavelength is essential in designing LSPR devices. LSPR devices employing silver nano-particles present better efficiencies than those using other noble metals such as gold; however, silver nano-particles are easily oxi...

Al2O3-ZrO2 ceramic coatings were prepared on 6061 Al alloy by Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Coatings MAO exhibit a porous structure progressive oxidation of the substrate as function processing time. Those made SLM are denser, although presence cracks is observed throughout their surface. XRD results suggest that coating consists m-ZrO2, t-ZrO2 γ-Al2O3 phases for ...

. The nature of the formation allene and methylacetylene during dehydrochlorination 1,2-dichloropropane intermediate products (1-chloropropene-1, 2-chloropropene-1, 2-chloropropane, 3-chloropropene-1) on γ-Al2O3, CaX expanded clay made it possible to establish that main source is - 1-chloropropene-1, γ -Al2O3, appears mainly from 2-chloroprene. highest value allene: ratio was obtained 1,2-dichl...

An efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of αaminonitriles derivatives by one-pot reaction of different aldehydes with amines and trimethylsilyl cyanides has been developed using natural alumina, alumina sulfuric acid (ASA), nano-γ-alumina, nanoalumina sulfuric acid (nano-ASA) under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions. The advantages of methods are short reaction times, h...

Nb-B-Al-O nanocomposite films with different power of Al2O3 were successfully deposited on the Si substrate via multi-target magnetron co-sputtering method. The influences of Al2O3's content on structure and properties of obtained nanocomposite films through controlling Al2O3's power were investigated. Increasing the power of Al2O3 can influence the bombarding energy and cause the momentum tran...

Hydrogen production from biomass has been paid more attention for years. Processes suggested for production of hydrogen from biomass are often involved in high-temperature pyrolysis, catalytic steam reforming or enzymatic biosynthesis. These strategies, however, encounter problems of high consumption of energy, low catalyst efficiency and very limited productivity. Group VIII metals such as Pt,...

running the industrial components at a proper temperature is always a big challenge for engineers. internal combustion engines are among these components in which temperature plays a big role in their performance and emissions. with the development of new technology in the fields of ‘nano-materials’ and ‘nano-fluids’, it seems very promising to use this technology as a coolant in the internal c...
