2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazanomethylphenol (dnphmp) was immobilized onto silicate rice husk ash to form a heterogeneous catalyst denoted as rhdnph. the elemental and edx analysis of rhdnph showed the nitrogen is incorporated into silica. the rhdnph had 154.6 m2g-1 as a specific surface area. the ft-ir clearly showed the appearance of –nh and c=n absorption band at the expected range. the tga curve ...

Paper mill effluent (PME) was used as an organic feedstock for production of biohydrogen via dark fermentation using heat-shock pretreated anaerobic sludge under mesophilic conditions. The influence of substrate concentration (5, 10 and 15 g-COD/L) and the initial pH (5 and 7) on the efficiency of dark hydrogen fermentation from PME were investigated. The highest hydrogen yield of 55.4 mL/g-COD...

monitoring the effective parameters of drying crops is necessary to evaluate and determine system performance under real conditions. hence, a monitoring system was constructed to determine the performance of a vegetation forced-convection solar dryer. digital temperature sensors were set up in the air inlet and outlet of the collector and the air outlet of the drying chamber. a program was writ...

New biodegradable network polymers containing siloxane-linked polymeric prodrugs of 5-ammino-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (5-ASA) in the main chain were prepared by ter polymerization of methacrylic acid (MA), 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), and bis (trimethylsilyloxy) methylsilane (VBM) in the presence of some new cross-linking agents.The monomers and polymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NM...
