a series of non-cyclic polyethers with different end groups and chain length were used for the extraction of lithium salt from aqueous into various organic phases viz. chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, to study the influence of structural variations within the extractant molecule upon the extraction selectivity and efficiency. the ionophores used were viz. deg (i), degdme (i...

A large number of Open Relation Extraction approaches have been proposed recently, covering a wide range of NLP machinery, from “shallow” (e.g., part-of-speech tagging) to “deep” (e.g., semantic role labeling–SRL). A natural question then is what is the tradeoff between NLP depth (and associated computational cost) versus effectiveness. This paper presents a fair and objective experimental comp...

Continuous counter-current extraction of rhenium from roasting dust leach liquor was carried out using a mixer-settler extractor. Tributylphosphate was used as the extractant diluted in kerosene. The effects of the flow rates and extraction stages number were investigated. The extraction efficiency was affected by the flow rates of the aqueous and organic phases, and its mechanism was qualitati...

Nanoporous carbons (CMK-3) were prepared and have been used as a fiber coating for headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME). The prepared materials were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. The efficiency of the fiber was evaluated using a gas chromatography (GC) system for the extraction of benzene (B) and c...

The application of supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction for the enrichment of short peptides is presented. The extraction efficiency is dependent on the pH of donor phase and salt concentration in acceptor phase. Moreover, the extraction efficiency is also influenced by the peptide amino-acid sequence and hydrophobicity.

The enhancement of light extraction efficiency for thin-film flip-chip (TFFC) InGaN quantum wells (QWs) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with GaN micro-domes on n-GaN layer was studied. The light extraction efficiency of TFFC InGaN QWs LEDs with GaN micro-domes were calculated and compared to that of the conventional TFFC InGaN QWs LEDs with flat surface. The three dimensional finite difference tim...

Asymmetric 2D photonic crystals were fabricated using polymer embedded PbS quantum dots on plastic substrates for enhancing optical down conversion efficiency from blue to near infrared wavelengths through enhanced extraction and excitation effects. We demonstrate 8x improvement of QD emission at normal incidence extraction from enhanced extraction and 2.5x improvement in power conversion effic...

Finding an environment-friendly and affordable method to remove contaminated soils from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) has now become an attractive field for researchers, with super-critical fluid extraction being an innovative process in the field of contaminated soil treatment. Extraction with super-critical fluid is a simple and rapid extraction process that uses super-critical flui...

olive oil is one of the oldest known vegetable oils, ranking sixth in world production. since it is extractedfrom fresh fruit and used without aging, the conditions of oil production are very important. during theextraction of virgin olive oil, the milling and malaxation steps are vital for increasing oil yield and quality.in this study, the effect of milling (single or double), temperature of ...
