a three-step selective photo-ionization for gd155 and gd157 isotopes by pulsed laser wasevaluated numerically. due to large thermal neutron absorption cross sections, these two isotopes innatural gadolinium are good candidates as burnable poison to control reactivity early in the fuel cycleand allow extended fuel burn up. rate equations have been used to calculate the dynamics of the isotopepop...

ABSTRACT Water pollution by organic pollutants is a continuous and increasing problem of global concern. In this paper, we developed nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) titania (TiO2) based nanocomposite for the photocatalytic degradation o-chloranil via aqueous wet impregnation. Different NCC loadings (10, 20, 40, 80%) were used, several analytical microscopy techniques characterised NCC/TiO2 cata...

BACKGROUND Photo-degradation of organic contaminants into non-hazardous mineral compounds is emerging as a strategy to purify water and environment. Tremendous research is being done using direct solar light for these purposes. In this paper we report on optimum conditions for complete mineralization of aqueous methyl orange using lab-prepared ZnO nanopowder catalyst under simulated solar light...

Abstract Biopolyesters, pure and mixed with a compatibilizer, are exposed to UV‐C radiation in the interval 4–32 h. rays act as germicides antibacterial on biomedical materials. The mechanical physical characterization tests have shown how all materials, mixed, undergo photodegradation even if different way. change structural order of polymer, embrittlement, surface wettability water/blood is l...
