Solvents with an improved price/performance ratio allow for processes with less operating and/or capital expenditure. Therefore, from an industrial perspective, it is worth reviewing the R&D progress in designing new competitive solvents on a regular basis. This paper aims at discussing the potential of new solvent systems applicable as absorbents or entrainers for boosting the performance of a...

Porous polymer-based Terahertz (THz) absorbers possess strong absorption with broadband, lightweight, and flexible features. Thus these are widely desired in THz electromagnetic shielding, radar-cross-section reduction, radiometer calibration, etc. However, the harsh environment of humidity, corrosiveness, dustiness undermines performance service lifetime porous absorbers. Here, based on Ti3C2T...

In this work, vanadium-substituted cesium phosphomolybdate salts with general formulae Cs3+nPMo12−nVnO40 (n = 0, 1, 2, and 3) were synthesized evaluated in the acetalization of benzaldehyde alkyl alcohols. All catalysts characterized through Raman, infrared, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopies, powder X-ray diffraction patterns, isotherms N2 desorption/adsorption, measurements acidity strength. ...

This paper investigated the effect of mineral surface oxidation on floatability Kevitsa low-grade Ni-Cu ore. Physicochemical measurements, ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) extraction, and oxygen uptake experiments were carried out with slurry recycled process water samples obtained from Cu-Ni sequential concentrator plant. The pH water, copper flotation feed, nickel feed dropped by 0.7...

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are widely used in infrastructure applications including water structures due to their relatively high durability, high strength to weight ratio, and non-corrosiveness. Here we demonstrate the potential use of carbon nanoparticles dispersed during GFRP composite fabrication to reduce water absorption of GFRP and to enable monitoring of moisture d...

Extreme toxicity, corrosiveness, and volatility pose serious challenges for the safe storage and transportation of elemental chlorine and bromine, which play critical roles in the chemical industry. Solid materials capable of forming stable nonvolatile compounds upon reaction with elemental halogens may partially mitigate these challenges by allowing safe halogen release on demand. Here we demo...

The instruments and materials used in health establishments are frequently exposed to microorganism contamination, and chemical products are used before sterilization to reduce occupational infection. We evaluated the antimicrobial effectiveness, physical stability, and corrosiveness of two commercial formulations of peracetic acid on experimentally contaminated specimens. Stainless steel speci...

Hazardous materials are defined to be the substances that can have harmful effects for human, environment and property. These risks exist due to the nature, the hazardous properties or the state of the above materials. Industrial needs as well as several human activities depend on the daily transportation of dangerous goods. The percentage of road accidents in which hazardous materials are invo...
