Ionic liquid N-ethylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate has been prepared, characterized and used as an efficient recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of a series of indoles and bis(indolyl)methanes. Latter have been further explored for their potential antimicrobial activity against E coli and Bacillus. The ionic liquid used was recycled in the end and its recovery was facilitated b...

A water cooling solid breeder blanket is a prime candidate of the blanket of the fusion reactor in Japan. In this case, the blanket tritium recovery system will be composed of three processes: tritium recovery from the helium sweep gas as hydrogen, that as water vapor and tritium recovery from the coolant water. For these processes, the present authors have proposed a set of advanced systems, a...

Two trials were conducted to investigate the effects of disodium fumarate (DSF; 0.00, 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 mM) and thyme essential oil (TEO; 0.00, 100.00, 200.00, 300.00 and 400.00 µL L-1) solely and simultaneously (10.00 mM DSF along with 100.00, 200.00, 300.00 and 400 µL L-1 TEO) on in vitro ruminal fermentation of a 50:50 alfalfa hay to concentrate diet. The D...

Hydrogen purification is an important part of hydrogen energy utilization. This study aimed to perform multi-component gas (H2/CO2/CH4/CO/N2 = 0.79/0.17/0.021/0.012/0.007) by one-column vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) and (PSA). AC5-KS was selected as the adsorbent for due its greater capacity compared R2030. Furthermore, VPSA PSA 10-step cycle models were established simulate process u...

Measurements of positron lifetime and hydrogen solubility were made in deformed polycrystalline Pd to investigate thermally-activated recovery. A strong correlation as a function of isochronal annealing temperature was observed between trapped-positron lifetime and the enhancement of hydrogen solubility due to solute binding at dislocations. This correlation is attributed to the simultaneous re...

in this research the simulation of an air independent proton exchange membrane fuel cell (pemfc) propulsion system was taken into consideration. the system consists of several parts including pem fuel cell stack, metal hydride and liquid oxygen (lox) tanks, and also pre-heaters of oxygen and hydrogen gases along with other heat exchangers, to ensure proper operation of system. the heat recovery...

in this study, attempts were made to recovery the used turbine blades made up of inconel738 by electro slag remelting (esr) method. using an appropriate slag and addition of metallic aluminum, the original composition was maintained and the amount of oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen remained in the acceptable level. in order to explore the effect of remelting with esr on the microstructure, tensil...

â a model is developed for separation of multicomponent gas mixtures in a countercurrent hollow fiber membrane module. while the model’s solution in countercurrent module usually involves in a time consuming iterative procedure, a proper initial guess is proposed for beginning the calculation and a simple procedure is introduced for correcting the guesses, hereby the cpu time is decreased ess...
