Powder activated carbon surface (AC) was grinded and modified and altered procedure thorough a facile and easy chemical reaction to appearance of 2-((3silylpropylimino)1-methyl) phenol (AC- (SPIMP)). Subsequently, this novel sorbent efficiently applied for the extraction and preconcentration of some metal ions from real samples. Preliminary the influences of variables such as pH, amounts of rea...

biochar and activated carbon, as carbon-rich porous materials, have wide environmental applications. in the present research, rice husk (rh) was used for preparation of biochar at 400, 600, and 800 °c under simple pyrolysis, physically-activated carbon with water steam, chemically-activated carbon with potassium hydroxide (koh), and physiochemically-activated carbon with koh and steam. physical...

Investigation of pore system properties of carbonate reservoirs has an important role in evaluating the reservoir quality and delineating high production intervals. The current study proposes a three-step approach for pore throat size characterization of these reservoirs, by integrating core data, well logs and 3D seismic volume. In this respect, first the pore throats size was calculated using...

The aim of the present study was to compare the porosity characteristics of AH Plus Jet(tm) syringe-mix and the conventional hand-mixed AH Plus root canal sealers by three-dimensional quantitative high-resolution micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Seven test specimens were prepared from each tested sealer by a single operator following the manufacturer's instructions and poured into pre-lubr...

The 70SiO2-15TiO2-15ZrO2 membrane was prepared by a sol-gel procedure. The corrosion behavior of microporous toplayers along with the membrane characterization in terms of pore size, surface area, pore volume and weight loss is described. The final ceramic membrane with a thickness of 400 nm and uniform surface was obtained. This membrane confirmed the fine microporous characteristic with mean ...

Pore volume is one of the main properties for the characterization of microporous crystals. It is experimentally measurable, and it can also be obtained from the refined unit cell by a number of computational techniques. In this work, we assess the accuracy and the discrepancies between the different computational methods which are commonly used for this purpose, i.e, geometric, helium, and pro...

Pvlercury porosimetry was used to measure the bulk and real densities, pore volumes and pore size distributions of compacts of hydroxyapatite before and after sintering. The hydroxyapatites were prepared by two different methods and had widely different surface areas. The properties were determined as a function of compaction force and sintering temperature. Densities from porosimetry were in g...

We investigate the gas flow behavior of unidirectional porous ceramics processed by ice-templating. The pore volume ranged between 54% and 72% and pore size between 2.9 [Formula: see text]m and 19.1 [Formula: see text]m. The maximum permeability ([Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] m[Formula: see text]) was measured in samples with the highest total pore volume (72%) and pore size (19.1 [Fo...

Mesoporous nanostructured γ-Al2O3 powders were synthesized through multi- step precipitation procedures using the pH-swing technique. Structural and morphological characteristics in addition to the thermal behavior of the procured samples were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) ...
