The casting and hot rolling process is a most important and widely used industrial route to produce aluminum alloy sheet[I]. Because rolling is such a high volume process and the capital expenditure in plants and fabrication facilities is so large, even small cost savings or increases in efficiency can result in a very large total money savings[2, 3]. To remove the very costly and time-consumin...

enhanced coagulation (ec) is defined as the addition of excess coagulation to improve the removal of disinfection by-product (dbps) precursors through the use of conventional water treatment processes. in this research, most of coagulants of ferric chloride (fecl3), poly aluminum chloride(pacl) in removal of most parameters of total organic carbon (toc), dissolved organic carbon (doc), organic ...

The treatment of spent oil-in-water emulsion (SOWE) from a non-ferrous metal-processing plant by using aluminum sulfate and hydrated lime was studied in order to determine the purification efficiency, optimize the operating conditions and scale up the treatment process. The purification efficiency was estimated by comparing the compositions of the SOWE and the processed wastewater. The treatmen...

Natural dye extracted from Caesalpinia sappan Linn. was applied to a cotton fabric and silk yarn by dyeing process. The dyestuff component of Caesalpinia sappan Linn. was extracted using water and ethanol. Analytical studies such as UV–VIS spectrophotometry and gravimetric analysis were performed on the extracts. Brazilein, the major dyestuff component of Caesalpinia sappan Linn. was confirmed ...

Metallic monoliths were prepared by anodized aluminum-scale pilot plant, using sulfuric acid as electrolyte. Anodisation tests were conducted at different times and different temperatures of the electrolytic bath. Aluminum monolith anodized at 40oC for 30 min was selected for catalysts support. The monoliths were impregnated by two methods: i) impregnation in two stages using two Mn salts in an...

A system for the regeneratlon of caustic soda solutlons used In etching aluminum Invokes the hydrolysis of sodium aluminate to llberate free sodium hydroxide and produce a dry, crystalllne hydrated alumlna byproduct. The system has been used extenslvely In Japan, and, by adjusting process parameters, can be adapted to North American practice. By otlllting the system in a typical plant, soild ai...

32P-Postlabeling analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) have been used to detect DNA adducts in peripheral blood lymphocytes from primary aluminum production plant workers who were exposed occupationally to a mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Preliminary results reported here are from a comparative study being performed in two aluminum plants. The levels of aro...

Acidic soils are distributed worldwide, predominantly in tropical and subtropical areas, reaching around 50% of the arable soil. This type of soil strongly reduces crop production, mainly because of the presence of aluminum, which has its solubility increased at low pH levels. A well-known physiological mechanism used by plants to cope with Al stress involves activation of membrane transporters...

Several studies reported many neurodegenerative disorders and Alzheimer' disease induced by aluminum chloride on cerebral cortex of male rats. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is a plant among others which improve blood circulation to the head, impart mental concentration and memory capabilities. Coriander, both its leaves and its seeds are grown as spice group all over the world. The present inv...

in present study we studied using green routes for microwave assisted synthesis of alumina nanoparticles from aluminum nitrate. it was revealed that when plant extracts are used, no specific stabilizer is needed. structural characterization of nanoparticles was studied using x-ray diffraction that showed semi-crystalline structure for two of plant extracts, other xrd patterns had no significant...
