The Khaviz oil field located in Dezful embayment is one of Iran’s southwest oil fields. In this study, a total of 28 cutting samples from Kazhdumi formation (well No. KZ1, Khaviz oil field) were subject to geochemical investigation using Rock-Eval pyrolysis for the first time. The results of pyrolysis indicated that Kazhdumi source rock has significant hydrocarbon production potentiality and al...

introduction: active packaging is one of the innovations in food packaging industry that would be a respons to the changing needs of consumers and markets. in this technique, materials such as adsorbents oxygen, moisture, carbon dioxide, ethylene and carbon dioxide-releasing flavor compounds, antimicrobials, antioxidants and various aromatic compounds are used. in the last decade, great attenti...

Roll-to-roll (R2R) printing has been pursued as a commercially viable high-throughput technology to manufacture flexible, disposable, and inexpensive printed electronic devices. However, in recent years, pessimism has prevailed because of the barriers faced when attempting to fabricate and integrate thin film transistors (TFTs) using an R2R printing method. In this paper, we report 20 × 20 acti...

Platinum-based catalysts represent a state of the art in the electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) from the point of view of their activity and durability in harnessing the chemical energy via direct electrochemical conversion. However, because platinum is both expensive and scarce, its widespread implementation in such clean energy applications is limited. Recent breakthroughs in...

The aim of the present paper is to identify the main Raman vibrational features of carbon nanotubes and derivatives. In this goal, Raman active mode calculations have been performed on different single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) as well as peapods. The comparison between the calculations performed on these different systems allows us to identify...

A review of production of activated carbon from waste tire char is presented. This review compiles the work done by various researchers on the characterisation of activated carbon from tire char and its applications in liquid-phase adsorption. Effect of various process parameters particularly activation temperature, burn-off, surface area on the activation stage are reviewed. Influence of activ...
