in petrochemical industry, the production of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) is accompanied by formation of heavy end wastes which consist of a mixture of di and multichloro compounds as kind of materials which are generated in ethylene dichloride (edc) purifcation. a high quantity of chloro compounds found in the heavy end waste allows it to be polymerized with alkaline polysulfdes to form polysulfde...

in this study an empirical model which can be used to predict the rutting parameter (g*/sinδ) for neat and powder rubber modified bitumen describes. the model was developed using 36 unique powder rubber modified bitumen combinations, rubber concentrations were varied at 5% intervals between 5 and 20%. the effects of powder rubber particle size on model accuracy were also studied ultimately a mo...

Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) has become widely used in the field of pavement engineering. Using specific additives SMA is necessary due to climate change and load condition variations. Thus, it essential utilise a modern mixture with high capacity survive traffic loads. The current study aims use combination waste polyethene terephthalate (PET) Nano-silica (NS) as newly developed hybrid additive ...

Flexible pavements are mostly affected by meteorological factors in addition to traffic loads, which results premature pavement failures like rutting and moisture-induced damage. This study focuses on the impacts of adding various contents nano-silica (NS), i.e., 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% (percentage weight asphalt), along with a constant value 4.5% styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). To assess effectiveness...

A nano-composite powder composed of silica and carbon with a unique property could be prepared from a mixture of a silicate compound and an epoxy compound, in which the silica within the nano-composite powder has a BET surface area of as high as greater than 800m2/g although the nano-composite powder has a BET surface area of less than 10m2/g. It was estimated that the silica and the carbon are...

This paper describes the synthesis and chromatographic and morphologic characterization of two monolithic silica nano-columns (50 µm i.d.) prepared by sol-gel processes, using hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) mode separations to evaluate their performance. Two types of monoliths were prepared by varying the precursors (tetraethoxysilane or a tetraethoxysilane-methyltrimethoxysilane mixture) and ...

Nano-sized FePt capsules with two types of ultrathin shell were fabricated using a template method for use in a nano-scale drug delivery system. One capsule was composed of an inorganic-organic hybrid shell of a water-soluble polymer and FePt nanoparticles, and the other capsule was composed of a network of fused FePt nanoparticles. We demonstrated that FePt nanoparticles selectively accumulate...
