Ants, bees and other social insects deposit pheromone (a type of chemical) in order to communicate between the members of their community. Pheromone that causes clumping or clustering behavior in a species and brings i...

Abstract Background: Photocatalytic process is used as a suitable method for o-chlorophenol removal. In this study, the efficiency of a mixture of modified fly ash and TiO2 nanoparticles in photocatalytic removal of o-chlorophenol was evaluated. Methods: After acid washing of fly ash, the absorbent was oxidized with potassium permanganate. ...

this study investigates removing ash and pyrite sulphur from bitumen by column flotation process. central composite design (ccd) of response surface methodology (rsm) was applied for modeling and optimization of the percentage of ash and pyrite sulphur removal from bitumen. the effects of five parameters namely the amounts of collector and frother agents, particle size, wash water rate and feed...

A series of novel 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-Substituted-4,6-diaminopyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and their anti platelet aggregation activities were assessed against ADP and arachidonic acid- induced platelet aggregation in human plasma using light transmission aggregometry. None of the compounds showed satisfactory activity against the aggregation induced by ADP. However, satisfac...

In the present research work, a low-ash coal, from Ghouzlou deposit in Iran, with an average ash content of 12% was subjected to some beneficiation experiments such as heavy media separation and flotation. Sieve analysis showed that 62.3% of the coal sample with the size of +2 mm had around 7.3% ash contents. Also, heavy media tests carried out on five size fractions revealed that by setting th...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of blended ash mixture on mechanical properties of concrete. In this study two reference mixtures were used. One of the mixtures was a no-fly ash mixture, and the other mixture contained 35% unblended Class C fly ash. Additional mixtures were composed of three blends of Class C and Class F fly ash while maintaining a total fly ash content of 40...

[1] Abrasion and comminution of pumice clasts during the propagation of pyroclastic flows have long been recognized as a potential source for the enhanced production of volcanic ash, however, their relative importance has eluded quantification. The amount of ash produced in situ can potentially affect runout distance, deposit sorting, the volume of ash introduced in the upper atmosphere, and in...
