ABSTRACT The isothermal cross section through the ternary phase diagram Nb-Ni-Cr at 1,100 °C was constructed by means of diffusion couples and equilibrated alloys. It was found that nearly 28 at.% of Cr can be dissolved in the μ phase (Nb7Ni6) at this temperature, and the solubility of chromium in NbNi3 is approximately 5 at.%. Under these circumstances the low-temperature (cubic) modification ...

In this work is examined whether it is possible to predict solid-liquid-vapor phase equilibrium of ternary systems used in the SAS processing by the Peng-Robinson equation of state coupled with the LCVM mixing rules and the UNIFAC method for excess Gibbs free energy calculation. The enthalpy of fusion and the melting point temperature are estimated by group contribution methods. The results sho...

Woody biomass pellets' demand for primary energy production is increasing. To guarantee sustainable and cost-efficient pellet the diversification of feedstock mandatory. In this work it proposed to re-use solid biochar obtained from pyrolysis eucalyptus (PEc) at 700 °C as an additive produce enhanced pine sawdust (PIN) pellets. The process required addition glycerol a lubricant in percentage 1 ...

Development of ternary metal oxide (TMO) based electron transporting layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cell open a new approaches toward efficient a unique strategy for solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs). In the present investigation, highly porous zinc tin oxide (Zn2SnO4) scaffold nanofibers has been synthesized by electrospinning technique and successfully used for methyl ammoniu...

The homogeneity range and crystal structure of the Mg-rich ternary solid solution has been determined using SEM, EPMA/WDS, TEM and X-ray diffraction. This compound has the Ca3MgxZn15 x (4.6 x 12) formula at 335 C. The refinement of the XRD patterns was carried out by Rietveld analysis, XRD data has shown that this solid solution crystallizes in hexagonal structure having P63/mmc (194) space gro...

Purpose: To formulate simvastatin orodispersible tablets with high dissolution rate and enhanced bioavailability. Methods: Simvastatin solid dispersions in βcyclodextrin, hydroxylpropyl-β-cyclodextrin, and hydroxylbutyl-β-cyclodextrin were prepared in different drug: polymer ratios by kneading and solvent evaporation methods. Compatibility was investigated by Differential scanning calorimetry (...

In this research, the effects of oxygen injection during the induration process were studied in order to improve the quality specifications and increase the rate of production of the iron oxide pellets. Several experiments were carried out in palletizing pilot plant in different conditions of oxygen injection. The results suggested that if only the extra oxygen was injected into the furnace in ...

Ursolic acid is a promising candidate for treatment of Chagas disease; however it has low aqueous solubility and intestinal absorption, which are both limiting factors for bioavailability. Among the strategies to enhance the solubility and dissolution of lipophilic drugs, solid dispersions are growing in popularity. In this study, we employed a mixture of the surfactants poloxamer 407 with sodi...

Meloxicam is a poorly water soluble non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and antipyretic agent. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of different types of carriers on in vitro dissolution of meloxicam. Meloxicam solid dispersions were prepared by physical mixing, co-grinding and solvent evaporation methods with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000. The effect of solubilization by...
