The application of urea-based selective catalytic reduction products (i.e., Urea-SCR) provides a NOx and, therefore, minimizes pollution emissions from vehicles fueled by diesel. Such can be easily found in the market; however, they are often susceptible to adulteration, mainly terms urea content and dilution with non-mineralized water. In this study, we propose simple, low-cost, disposable, st...

AIMS Ureolysis drives microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). MICP models typically employ simplified urea hydrolysis kinetics that do not account for cell density, pH effect or product inhibition. Here, ureolysis rate studies with whole cells of Sporosarcina pasteurii aimed to determine the relationship between ureolysis rate and concentrations of (i) urea, (ii) cells, (iii...

The present study carefully examined entropy generation during wustite pellet reduction to sponge iron. The finite volume method was used to solve the governing equations. The grain model was used to simulate the reaction rate. The reactant gases including carbon monoxide and hydrogen were converted to water and carbon dioxide after wustite reduction. Entropy is generated by heat transfer, mass...

landfill gas is generated by organic waste decomposing under anaerobic conditions. landfill gas contributes to the emission in the atmosphere of greenhouse gases and causing global warming. humidity of environment is an effective parameter on rate of gas generation in landfills. saravan landfill is investigated as study area in this research. it located in 20 kilometers of rasht-tehran highway....

antranilic acid is an intermediate material which we can produce by hofmann's rearrangement reaction. in this process phithalimide is a main reactant. one procedure for produceing phthalimide is the reaction of phithalic anhydride with urea in the presence of acetic acid. in this research, the kinetics of this reaction was studied at 115 c. we found that the reaction of phthalic anhydride ...

this study aims to estimate economic capacity and, in turn the utilization rate of economic capacity in iran’s electricity generation industry during 1350-1388. aggregate time series data for thermal power plants are used. with parametric restrictions for linear homogeneity in input prices imposed, capital demand function is first derived and estimated. this allows the derivation of economic ca...

Experiments characterizing the urea active transport system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicate that (i) formamide and acetamide are strong competitive inhibitors of urea accumulation, (ii) uptake is maximal at pH 3.3 and is 80% inhibited at pH 6.0, and (iii) adenosine 5'-triphosphate generated by glycolysis in conjunction with formation of an ion gradient is likely the driving force behind ur...

1. The excretion of urea and of chlorides in the normal individual is carried out according to definite laws, capable of numerical expression. 2. The rate of excretion of urea and of sodium chloride is determined by the concentration in the blood, the rate of water output, and indirectly by the weight of the individual. 3. The threshold of sodium chloride excretion is practically constant at ab...
