The effect of impregnation sequence on the formation of Pt/Ni bimetallic nanoparticles supported on g-Al2O3 was investigated for catalysts with Pt/Ni atomic ratios of 3/1 and 1/1. These bimetallic catalysts were prepared with a fixed Pt loading (5 wt.%) by incipient impregnation of one metal precursor and calcination, followed by the impregnation of the second metal precursor and a second calci...

30 This study aimed to improve the shelf life of Chinese red bayberries using vacuum impregnation. 31 Vacuum pressure of 5 kPa for 15 min, atmospheric pressure for 10 min, an impregnation temperature of 32 20 °C, alone or in combination with isotonic sucrose solution, 1% food-grade disodium stannous citrate 33 (DSC), and 2% food-grade calcium ascorbate were used for vacuum impregnation. Quality...

Elaboration of Pd-supported catalysts for catalytic combustion is, nowadays, considered as an imperative task to reduce the emissions methane. This study provides new insight into method deposition, chemical state Pd and oxygen storage capability transition metal ions their effects on reactivity supported The catalyst with nominal composition La(Co0.8Ni0.1Fe0.1)0.85Pd0.15O3 was SiO2-modified/γ-...

In waterjet and laser milling, material is removed from a solid surface in a succession of layers to create a new shape, in a depth-controlled manner. The inverse problem consists of defining the control parameters, in particular, the two-dimensional beam path, to arrive at a prescribed freeform surface. Waterjet milling (WJM) and pulsed laser ablation (PLA) are studied in this paper, since a g...

– The progression of a liquid inside a porous medium often involves two macroscopic fronts: a main one, at the bottom, which saturates the medium; and a much thinner one, ahead, which propagates using the fine structures of the porous material. We discuss here different characteristics of this precursor. We show in particular how it can move faster than the main front, although it follows confi...

Silver impregnation of collagenous microfibrils has been applied in electron microscopy in recent years by yon Herrath and Det tmer (3), Dettmer, Neckel, and Ruska (1), Det tmer (2), Schwarz (5), Tomlin (6), and Irving and Tomlin (4). The main purpose of these authors was to determine whether the silverimpregnation picture of the so called reticulin fibers differed from that of the collagenous ...

Abstract Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process (AOP). This technique used to degrade a wide range of pollutants in water. In this study, photocatalytic and mineralization malachite green aqueous suspension containing nickel-based catalysts copper supported on TiO 2 prepared by wet diffusional impregnation was studied using two sources irradiation: solar microwave. Photod...

Cellulose-based materials are widely used in a number of important applications (e.g. paper, wood, textiles). Additional developments are suggested by the growing interest for natural fibre-based composite and nanocomposite materials. The motivation is not only in the economic and ecological benefits, but is also related to advantageous properties and characteristics. The objective of this thes...
