The experiment of Fe-Beta catalysts modified by Ce with incipient wetness impregnation methods was carried out for the selective catalytic reduction NOx NH3. characteristics catalyst before and after hydrothermal treatment were evaluated changes active sites, acid sites pore structure. results showed that conversion from [Fe2+-OX]+ to [HO-Fe3+-OX]+ during reaction aging promoted gradual dehydro...

A deacidification agent was prepared through incipient-wetness impregnation method, by using activated γ-Al2O3 as the carrier material to loaded Na2CO3, which can simultaneously remove HCl, H2S and carbonyl sulfur (COS) from blast furnace gas. The pretreatment at temperature of 550°C improve dechlorination performance. maximum breakthrough time, penetration chlorine capacity, highest utilizatio...

Cold sensations are suggested as the primary inducer of the perception of skin wetness. However, limited data are available on the effects of skin cooling. Hence, we investigated the role of peripheral cold afferents in the perception of wetness. Six cold-dry stimuli (producing skin cooling rates in a range of 0.02-0.41°C/s) were applied on the forearm of 9 female participants. Skin temperature...

A wetness duration experiment was carried out within a lily field situated adjacent to coastal dunes in the Netherlands. A within-canopy model was applied to simulate leaf wetness in three layers, with equal leaf area indices, within the canopy. This simulation model is an extension of an existing model. It appeared that in most cases leaf wetness started in the uppermost layer followed by the ...

The ability to perceive thermal changes in the surrounding environment is critical for survival. However, sensing temperature is not the only factor among the cutaneous sensations to contribute to thermoregulatory responses in humans. Sensing skin wetness (i.e. hygrosensation) is also critical both for behavioral and autonomic adaptations. Although much has been done to define the biophysical r...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE In the absence of humidity receptors in human skin, the perception of skin wetness is considered a somatosensory experience resulting from the integration of temperature (particularly cold) and mechanical inputs. However, limited data are available on the role of the temperature sense. METHODS Wet and dry stimuli at 4°C and 8°C above local skin temperature were applied on t...

The catalytic activity for CO oxidation over cerium dioxide (CeO2) and Cu-modified ceria (Cu/CeO2) powders prepared by wetness impregnation method was investigated in flow tube reactor system under atmospheric pressure. Reaction curves of powder samples pre-treated by calcination in mixture of argon and oxygen and by reduction in hydrogen, all at 300 °C were measured. X-ray photoelectron spectr...

Synthesis of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) by selective 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) hydrogenation is ecofriendly and industrially important since HMF obtained from renewable sources, BHMF a raw material used for production biodegradable polymers. Four copper-based catalysts were prepared incipient wetness impregnation (Cu/SiO2-I, Cu/Al2O3-I), precipitation–deposition (Cu/SiO2-PD) copreci...

OBJECTIVE Pressure ulcers often occur at sites subjected to pressure and wetness. Although skin wetness is a risk factor for pressure ulcers,the mechanisms and effects of wetness versus urine constituents on skin breakdown is unclear. The hypothesis that wetness reduces skin hardness and, thereby, increases vulnerability of underlying blood vessels to pressure-induced flow reductions was tested...
