Precipitation of magnesium silicate from sodium silicate and MgCl2 and MgSO4 solutions was investigated at four different reactant feed rates and two temperatures (25 °C and 50 °C). Sodium silicate solutions were produced from rice hull ash silica. The final product was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis, cr...

due to the problems of deposition of sodium silicate on the equipment and decrease of the service age of implements, deinking of old newspaper was accomplished using organic complex of sulvy-x in place of sodium silicate. sulvy-x was used at four levels of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1% on the basis of oven dry waste paper and chemical deinking was done. the effect of various charges of sulvy-x was inves...

Biodiesel and lactic acid from rapeseed oil was produced using sodium silicate as catalyst. The transesterification in the presence of the catalyst proceeded with a maximum yield of 99.6% under optimized conditions [3% (w/w) sodium silicate, methanol/oil molar ratio 9/1, reaction time 60 min, reaction temperature 60°C, and stirring rate 250 rpm]. After six consecutive transesterification reacti...

in this paper, the grouting ability of sandy soils is investigated by artificial neural networks based on the results of chemical grout injection tests. in order to evaluate the soil grouting potential, experimental samples were prepared and then injected. the sand samples with three different particle sizes (medium, fine, and silty) and three relative densities (%30, %50, and %90) were injecte...

A corrosion-inhibiting mixture of compounds has been developed for addition to the water used to rinse metal parts that have been cleaned with aqueous solutions in preparation for adhesive bonding of the metals to rubber and rubberlike materials. Prior to the development of this corrosion inhibitor, the parts (made, variously, of D6AC steel and 7075-T73 aluminum) were rinsed by deionized water,...

High-porosity magnesia phosphate paste (HPMPP) was prepared via the pre-foaming method. In the pre-foaming method, sintering treatment was not required. The bulk density and maximum compressive strength of the HPMPP prepared according to the ratio of water to solids (W/So) of 0.32 reached 464.00 ± 5.00 Kg/m(3) and 0.30 ± 0.05 MPa, respectively. The compressive strength increased with the increa...

Many types of healing agents have been investigated. These agents are processed in different ways, such as adhesive polymer in capsules or hollow fibre glasses, bacteria in porous aggregates and geo-materials directly incorporated in the cementbased materials. In this study, sodium silicate powder is encapsulated in polystyrene particles (polystyrene particle containing sodium silicate is defin...

Silica phases were precipitated on aluminum surface by potentiostatic plasma electrolysis technique. Aqueous sodium silicate solutions with different concentrations were used for this purpose. SEM, EDS, XRD, surface profiles and polarization curves were used to study coatings properties. The results showed that the growth of the silica containing phases on aluminum surface was promoted by incre...

In this study, alkaline colloidal silica was prepared by titration of an alkaline solution such as sodium silicate with silicic acid in constant range of pH  .This constant range of pH was achieved by using concentrated soduim silicate solutions as pH adjusting solutions during titration.The sodium silicate solutions  having a variety of...
